Product details
Overview
OPA3691IDBQT from Texas Instruments is a triple-channel, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for wideband video and high-speed analog signal conditioning. It delivers 280MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 2100V/µs slew rate, ±4.0V output swing (±5V supply), and 190mA output current per channel - enabling RGB line driving, ADC buffering, and broadband video applications with single +5V or dual ±5V operation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA3691IDBQT datasheet, OPA3691IDBQT pinout, OPA3691IDBQT application, or OPA3691IDBQT equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-feedback architecture (gain-independent bandwidth), low 5.1mA/ch quiescent current, integrated disable control (150µA/ch shutdown), and SSOP-16 package compatibility with high-density video routing layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA3691IDBQT employs a current-feedback topology where bandwidth remains stable across gains (e.g., 280MHz at G = +1, 190MHz at G = +2 on +5V supply), unlike voltage-feedback amplifiers. Its transimpedance gain (ZOL) is 225kΩ (min) at ±5V, with input bias currents of ±5µA (inverting) and +15µA (noninverting) at 25°C.
It features an improved high-frequency pinout to minimize parasitic coupling, a make-before-break disable function (25ns enable time, 400ns disable time), and rail-swing capability: on +5V supply, it delivers 1V–4V output (1.5V headroom) while sourcing/sinking ≥120mA into 100Ω loads at 150MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (G = +1) | 280MHz - supports full HD video signal integrity without gain-dependent roll-off |
| Slew Rate | 2100V/µs - enables clean 5VPP pulse response in <2ns with minimal distortion |
| Output Current | ±190mA/ch - drives 75Ω video lines or multiple ADC inputs simultaneously |
| Supply Current | 5.1mA/ch - total 15.3mA for all three channels at ±5V, enabling portable instrumentation |
| Disable Current | 150µA/ch - reduces system power by >99% during idle periods without external circuitry |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.7nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in precision ADC front-ends up to 100MHz |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.07%/0.02° - meets NTSC/PAL broadcast video fidelity requirements |
Pinout & Package
OPA3691IDBQT is packaged in a 16-pin SSOP (DBQ) with 0.65mm pitch, optimized for high-frequency layout and thermal dissipation (θJA = 100°C/W). Pin functions are validated per TI SBOS227E datasheet Figure 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7 (–IN A/B/C) | Inverting input (per channel) | Current-summing node for feedback network; requires matched impedance (e.g., 402Ω) for stable G = +2 |
| 2, 5, 8 (+IN A/B/C) | Noninverting input (per channel) | High-impedance input (100kΩ || 2pF); used for DC biasing or signal injection in single-supply configs |
| 3, 6, 9 (DIS A/B/C) | Channel disable control | Active-low logic: <1.5V disables channel (output Hi-Z, 150µA/ch), >3.3V enables normal operation |
| 10, 14 (+VS) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +5V to +12V single or ±2.5V to ±6V dual; decoupling required (0.1µF + 6.8µF) |
| 12, 16 (–VS) | Negative supply rail | Required for dual supply; tied to ground for single +5V operation with proper biasing |
| 11, 13, 15 (OUT A/B/C) | Amplifier output (per channel) | Capable of ±4.0V swing into no load; drives 75Ω/100Ω loads directly with <0.1dB flatness to 90MHz |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback architecture | Bandwidth independent of closed-loop gain - simplifies design across G = +1 to +10 without compensation redesign |
| Triple-channel integration | Three independent amplifiers in one SSOP-16 package - reduces PCB area vs discrete solutions for RGB/ADC systems |
| Single-supply operation | 1V–4V output swing on +5V rail with 150MHz bandwidth - eliminates negative rail in portable video equipment |
| Low-distortion output stage | 0.07% differential gain / 0.02° phase error at NTSC - meets broadcast video standards without external trimming |
| Fast disable control | 25ns enable / 400ns disable timing - enables time-multiplexed channel switching in multi-source video systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA3690IDBQT | Voltage-feedback architecture; lower bandwidth (250MHz G=+1), higher supply current (6.5mA/ch), no disable pin | Lacks channel shutdown; less suitable for power-constrained portable instruments or time-multiplexed systems | Select when absolute lowest input offset voltage (±0.3mV) is prioritized over power savings or disable functionality |
| OPA2691U | Dual-channel only; identical current-feedback core, same 280MHz bandwidth and 2100V/µs slew rate | Requires two packages for triple-channel needs; increases board area and BOM count vs single OPA3691IDBQT | Select when system only needs two high-speed channels and space allows dual SO-8 footprint |
Compared with OPA3690IDBQT, the OPA3691IDBQT offers 30% lower quiescent current and integrated disable control - critical for battery-powered video gear. Against OPA2691U, it consolidates three channels into one SSOP-16, reducing layout complexity and inter-channel skew in RGB timing-critical systems.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the OPA3691IDBQT support?
The OPA3691IDBQT operates from a flexible supply range: single +5V to +12V or dual ±2.5V to ±6V. At ±5V, it delivers ±4.0V output swing and 280MHz bandwidth; on +5V single supply, it provides 1V–4V output with 190MHz bandwidth at G = +2. Absolute maximum ratings allow ±6.5V, but performance specifications are guaranteed only within the specified operating range.
How does the disable function work on the OPA3691IDBQT?
The OPA3691IDBQT has three independent disable pins (DIS A/B/C). Pulling any DIS pin LOW (<1.5V) places that channel's output in high-impedance state and reduces its supply current to <150µA/ch. Leaving DIS open or HIGH (>3.3V) enables normal operation. The disable timing is make-before-break (25ns enable, 400ns disable), preventing output glitches during switching - confirmed in TI SBOS227E Figure 12.
Can the OPA3691IDBQT drive 75Ω video cables directly?
Yes - the OPA3691IDBQT is characterized to drive 75Ω loads with 0.07% differential gain and 0.02° differential phase error at NTSC frequencies, meeting broadcast video standards. Its 190mA output current and 280MHz bandwidth ensure minimal signal degradation; typical designs use 82.5Ω series output resistors to match 75Ω cable impedance while maintaining +1 gain.
What is the small-signal bandwidth of the OPA3691IDBQT at G = +2?
At G = +2, the OPA3691IDBQT achieves 225MHz minimum small-signal bandwidth (VO = 0.5VPP, RF = 402Ω, ±5V supply) and 190MHz minimum on +5V single supply (RF = 453Ω). This gain-independent bandwidth is a hallmark of its current-feedback architecture - verified in TI SBOS227E Electrical Characteristics Table 1.
Is the OPA3691IDBQT suitable for driving ADC inputs in high-speed data acquisition?
Yes - the OPA3691IDBQT is explicitly recommended by TI for triple-channel ADC driving (e.g., ADS831). It delivers 3VPP output swing on +5V supply with >150MHz full-power bandwidth and –74dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz, preserving SFDR and ENOB. Its low 1.7nV/√Hz input noise and fast 12ns 0.02% settling time make it ideal for pipelined and flash ADC front-ends.
