Product details
Overview
OPA3691IDBQTG4 from Texas Instruments is a triple-channel, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for wideband video, ADC buffering, and high-speed imaging applications. It delivers 280MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 2100V/µs slew rate, ±4.0V output swing (±5V supply), 190mA output current per channel, and 5.1mA/ch quiescent current - enabling RGB line driving and single-supply +5V ADC input conditioning with >150MHz full-power bandwidth.
For engineers reviewing the OPA3691IDBQTG4 datasheet, OPA3691IDBQTG4 pinout, OPA3691IDBQTG4 application, or OPA3691IDBQTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-feedback architecture's gain-independent bandwidth, low disable current (150µA/ch), improved high-frequency pinout for reduced crosstalk, and verified performance in composite video dG/dP (<0.17%), harmonic distortion (–74dBc 3rd-harmonic @5MHz), and 0.02% settling in 12ns.
Technical Context
The OPA3691IDBQTG4 employs a current-feedback topology with transimpedance gain (ZOL) of 225kΩ (±5V), enabling stable operation at G = +1 to +10 without external compensation. Its output stage architecture minimizes voltage headroom and crossover distortion, supporting ±4.0V swing into no load and ±3.9V into 100Ω on ±5V supplies.
Each channel features independent disable control (DIS A/B/C) with 25ns enable time, 400ns disable time, and <±50mV turn-on glitch. The SSOP-16 package integrates three matched amplifiers sharing common ±VS pins but with isolated input/output/disabled terminals - critical for maintaining channel independence in RGB and triple-ADC buffer designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +1) | 280MHz - enables stable unity-gain video amplification without peaking beyond 0.2dB. |
| Slew Rate | 2100V/µs - supports clean 5VPP step response with 1.9ns rise time and 12ns 0.02% settling. |
| Output Current (Sourcing/Sinking) | ±190mA - drives 75Ω video loads, 100Ω ADC inputs, or multiple parallel 150Ω loads without clipping. |
| Supply Current (3 ch) | 15.3mA max (±5V) - enables low-power portable instrumentation and battery-backed systems. |
| Disable Current | 150µA/ch - reduces total system power by >99% when channels are inactive, preserving signal integrity. |
| Differential Gain/Phase (NTSC) | 0.07%/0.02° - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements for RGB and composite video paths. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.7nV/√Hz (>1MHz) - maintains SNR in high-bandwidth signal chains up to 200MHz. |
Pinout & Package
OPA3691IDBQTG4 is packaged in a 16-pin SSOP (DBQ) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and θJA = 100°C/W. Pinout is optimized for high-frequency layout: noninverting inputs (pins 2, 5, 8) and outputs (pins 11, 13, 15) are interleaved with dedicated disable controls (pins 3, 6, 9) and shared power rails (pins 4/+VS, 12/–VS) to minimize crosstalk and ground bounce.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | NC / Thermal Pad | No-connect; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management. |
| 2, 5, 8 | +IN A/B/C | Noninverting inputs - high-impedance (100kΩ || 2pF), support DC-coupled or AC-coupled biasing. |
| 3, 6, 9 | DIS A/B/C | Active-low disable control - pull LOW to reduce supply current to <150µA/ch and place output in Hi-Z. |
| 4 | +VS | Positive supply rail - accepts +5V to +12V single or ±2.5V to ±6V dual supply. |
| 7, 10, 14 | –IN A/B/C | Inverting inputs - low impedance (~37Ω), require matched feedback networks for stability. |
| 11, 13, 15 | OUT A/B/C | High-current outputs - deliver ±190mA into resistive loads; output capacitance in disable = 4pF. |
| 12 | –VS | Negative supply rail - required for dual-supply operation; tied to GND for single +5V use. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable current-feedback architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation across G = +1 to +10, simplifying filter and driver design. |
| Improved high-frequency pinout | Reduces inter-channel crosstalk to –80dBc at 5MHz, critical for RGB and triple-ADC simultaneous sampling. |
| Single +5V operation with 3VPP swing | Enables direct interface to 3.3V logic and CMOS ADCs without level-shifting or rail-splitting circuitry. |
| Matched triple-channel performance | Guarantees <0.17% differential gain error and <0.07° differential phase error across all three channels. |
| Low-glitch disable/enable | ±50mV turn-on and ±20mV turn-off glitches ensure clean switching in RGB multiplexers and power-gated systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-channel, wideband current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA3691IDBQR | Same die, tape-and-reel packaging (2500 pcs), identical electrical specs and pinout. | No functional difference - selected for volume production vs. prototype quantities (250 pcs). | Choose OPA3691IDBQR for cost-optimized manufacturing; OPA3691IDBQTG4 for evaluation and low-volume builds. |
| OPA3690IDBQT | Voltage-feedback architecture; lower bandwidth (250MHz G=+1), higher supply current (6.5mA/ch), no disable function. | Lacks channel disable and exhibits gain-dependent bandwidth - unsuitable for power-gated or gain-flexible systems. | Select OPA3690IDBQT only if voltage-feedback linearity requirements outweigh need for disable control and bandwidth stability. |
Compared with OPA3691IDBQR and OPA3690IDBQT, the OPA3691IDBQTG4 uniquely combines current-feedback gain-independence, sub-50mV switching glitches, and 150µA/ch disable current - making it the only option qualified for low-power, multi-channel video routing and synchronized ADC front-ends.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the OPA3691IDBQTG4 support?
The OPA3691IDBQTG4 operates from ±2.5V to ±6V dual supply or +5V to +12V single supply. At ±5V, it delivers ±4.0V output swing with 190mA drive; at +5V, it provides 1V–4V output swing with >150MHz bandwidth. Minimum single-supply voltage is +4V, maximum is +12V - verified across –40°C to +85°C.
How does the disable function work on the OPA3691IDBQTG4?
The OPA3691IDBQTG4 has three independent active-low disable pins (DIS A/B/C, pins 3/6/9). Pulling any DIS pin LOW reduces that channel's supply current to <150µA/ch and places its output in high-impedance state. Enable time is 25ns; disable time is 400ns. Turn-on/off glitches are ±50mV and ±20mV respectively - confirmed under G = +2, RL = 150Ω conditions.
Is the OPA3691IDBQTG4 suitable for driving 75Ω video loads?
Yes - the OPA3691IDBQTG4 delivers ±3.9V output swing into 100Ω and maintains <0.17% differential gain / <0.07° differential phase on NTSC signals at 150Ω loads. Its 190mA output current and low closed-loop output impedance (0.03Ω @100kHz) ensure stable 75Ω termination without gain droop or group delay distortion up to 150MHz.
What is the small-signal bandwidth of the OPA3691IDBQTG4 at G = +2?
At G = +2, the OPA3691IDBQTG4 achieves 225MHz minimum small-signal bandwidth (VO = 0.5VPP, RF = 402Ω, RL = 100Ω, ±5V supply) and 190MHz minimum under +5V single-supply conditions (RF = 453Ω). Bandwidth remains stable across temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and load variations - a core advantage of its current-feedback architecture.
Does the OPA3691IDBQTG4 require external compensation?
No - the OPA3691IDBQTG4 is unity-gain stable and requires no external compensation components across gains from +1 to +10. Its current-feedback architecture ensures bandwidth remains largely independent of closed-loop gain, unlike voltage-feedback op amps. Stability is verified with standard 402Ω/453Ω feedback networks and 100Ω loads per the datasheet test circuits.
