Product details
Overview
OPA3691IDG4 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 single +5V RGB line driving and low-power portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA3691IDG4 datasheet, OPA3691IDG4 pinout, OPA3691IDG4 application, or OPA3691IDG4 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs in high-frequency video and data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The OPA3691IDG4 uses a current-feedback architecture where bandwidth remains stable across gains (e.g., 225MHz at G = +2, 190MHz at G = +2 on +5V supply), unlike voltage-feedback op amps. Its transimpedance gain (ZOL) is 225kΩ (min) at ±5V, with input resistance of 37Ω at the inverting node and 100kΩ || 2pF at the noninverting node.
Each channel features independent disable control (DIS A/B/C), enabling <25ns enable time and <400ns disable time while reducing supply current to <150µA/ch. Output stage architecture minimizes crossover distortion and supports rail-swing headroom as low as 1V on +5V supply, delivering >120mA into 100Ω loads with 150MHz full-power bandwidth.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 280MHz - enables stable G = 1 operation for wideband video gain stages without compensation. |
| Slew Rate | 2100V/µs - supports clean 5VPP step response in <2ns, critical for HD video pulse fidelity. |
| Output Current | ±190mA/ch - drives 75Ω video lines or 100Ω ADC inputs directly without external buffers. |
| Supply Current | 5.1mA/ch - ultra-low power for triple-channel operation; total 15.3mA at ±5V. |
| Disable Current | 150µA/ch - reduces system power by >99% per channel during idle periods. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.7nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in high-gain, low-level signal paths like imaging front-ends. |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.07%/0.02° - meets broadcast NTSC/PAL video fidelity requirements at 1.4VP. |
Pinout & Package
OPA3691IDG4 is packaged in SO-16 (D) surface-mount format, 10.3mm × 7.5mm body, 1.75mm height, 1.27mm pitch. Pinout validated per TI SBOS227E datasheet Figure 1 (Top View).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (+IN A) | Noninverting input, Channel A | High-impedance (100kΩ || 2pF); used for DC biasing or signal injection in single-supply configurations. |
| 3 (DIS B) | Disable control, Channel B | Active-low logic input; pulls LOW to place Channel B output in high-Z state (<150µA quiescent). |
| 4 (–IN B) | Inverting input, Channel B | Matches Pin 1 electrical behavior; supports identical feedback network design across all channels. |
| 5 (+IN B) | Noninverting input, Channel B | Independent bias point; allows per-channel common-mode voltage setting in multi-source systems. |
| 6 (DIS C) | Disable control, Channel C | Enables synchronized shutdown of third channel; timing matched to Pins 3 and 11. |
| 7 (–IN C) | Inverting input, Channel C | Identical to Pins 1 and 4; ensures consistent AC performance across RGB or triple-ADC channels. |
| 8 (+IN C) | Noninverting input, Channel C | Supports independent termination; critical for maintaining channel isolation in multiplexed video paths. |
| 9 (DIS A) | Disable control, Channel A | First disable pin in sequence; used for priority channel gating in RGB switching applications. |
| 10 (+VS) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +5V to +12V; decoupling required within 1cm for >100MHz stability. |
| 11 (OUT A) | Output, Channel A | Capable of ±4.0V swing into no load; drives 75Ω/100Ω loads with <0.1dB flatness to 90MHz. |
| 12 (–VS) | Negative supply rail | Accepts –2.5V to –6V in dual supply; tied to ground in +5V single-supply mode. |
| 13 (OUT B) | Output, Channel B | Matched drive strength and settling time (12ns to 0.02%) vs. OUT A and OUT C. |
| 14 (+VS) | Positive supply rail (redundant) | Second +VS connection improves PSRR and thermal distribution; must be connected. |
| 15 (OUT C) | Output, Channel C | Delivers identical large-signal bandwidth (200MHz @ 5VPP) as other outputs. |
| 16 (–VS) | Negative supply rail (redundant) | Second –VS connection required for SO-16 layout symmetry and thermal management. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA3691IDR | Same die, tape-and-reel packaging (2500 pcs), identical electrical specs and SO-16 footprint. | No functional difference; selected for high-volume automated assembly. | Choose OPA3691IDR when ordering ≥2500 units and requiring reel-based SMT placement. |
| OPA2691U | Dual-channel version (SO-8), 2100V/µs slew rate, 225MHz G=+2 bandwidth, but only two channels. | Requires two devices for triple-channel needs; increases board area and component count. | Use OPA2691U only if system requires exactly two high-speed channels and space constraints favor smaller SO-8 packages. |
Compared with OPA3691IDG4, OPA3691IDR offers identical performance in volume packaging, while OPA2691U trades channel count for reduced footprint - making OPA3691IDG4 optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained triple-channel designs where pin compatibility and per-channel disable control are mandatory.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the OPA3691IDG4 support?
The OPA3691IDG4 operates from ±2.5V to ±6V dual supply or +5V to +12V single supply. Its specified operating range is ±5V or +5V, with absolute maximum ratings of ±6.5V. At +5V single supply, it delivers 1V to 4V output swing with >120mA drive and 150MHz bandwidth - making it ideal for portable instrumentation where rail efficiency matters. The OPA3691IDG4 maintains full functionality across its entire rated temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
How does the disable function work on the OPA3691IDG4?
The OPA3691IDG4 features three independent active-low disable pins (DIS A, DIS B, DIS C) - one per channel. Pulling any DIS pin LOW places that channel's output in high-impedance state and reduces its supply current to <150µA/ch. Leaving the pin open or holding it HIGH enables normal operation. Disable timing is characterized at 25ns enable and 400ns disable times. Critically, the disable action is make-before-break, preventing output float during switching - a key requirement in RGB multiplexer applications using the OPA3691IDG4.
Can the OPA3691IDG4 drive 75Ω video loads directly?
Yes, the OPA3691IDG4 is explicitly designed for 75Ω video line driving. It delivers ±4.0V output swing into no load and ±3.9V into 100Ω at ±5V supply - sufficient for 2VPP into 75Ω with margin. Its differential gain (0.07%) and phase (0.02°) meet NTSC broadcast standards. In RGB multiplexer circuits, external 82.5Ω limiting resistors combine outputs while maintaining 75Ω source impedance - a configuration validated in TI Application Report SBOS227E using the OPA3691IDG4.
What is the small-signal bandwidth of the OPA3691IDG4 at G = +2?
At G = +2, the OPA3691IDG4 achieves 225MHz small-signal bandwidth (±5V supply, RF = 402Ω, RL = 100Ω) and 190MHz (±5V supply, RF = 453Ω, RL = 100Ω to VS/2). This bandwidth remains stable across temperature (min 180MHz at +85°C) and is significantly higher than voltage-feedback alternatives at the same gain. The OPA3691IDG4's current-feedback architecture ensures this consistency - a core advantage for wideband video and imaging applications where gain-setting flexibility is essential.
Is the OPA3691IDG4 pin-compatible with other OPA3691 variants?
Yes, the OPA3691IDG4 is fully pin-compatible with all SO-16 packaged OPA3691 variants including OPA3691ID, OPA3691IDR, and OPA3691IDBQR. All share identical SO-16 (D) footprint, pinout, and electrical specifications. Differences are limited to packaging format (rail vs. tape-and-reel), reel quantity (48 vs. 2500), and moisture sensitivity level - not device functionality. This allows direct substitution in existing designs without layout changes, provided the OPA3691IDG4's SO-16 mechanical dimensions (10.3 × 7.5 mm) match the PCB land pattern.
