Product details
Overview
OPA3691IDR 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 OPA3691IDR datasheet, OPA3691IDR pinout, OPA3691IDR application, or OPA3691IDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-feedback architecture's gain-independent bandwidth, low 5.1mA/ch quiescent current, integrated disable control (150µA/ch disabled), and SO-16 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA3691IDR employs a current-feedback topology where bandwidth remains stable across gains (e.g., 280MHz at G = +1, 190MHz at G = +2), unlike voltage-feedback amplifiers. Its transimpedance gain (ZOL) is 225kΩ min at ±5V, with inverting input resistance of 37Ω and noninverting input impedance of 100kΩ || 2pF.
It features a high-slew-rate output stage delivering ±190mA into 100Ω while maintaining < ±50mV turn-on/off glitches and 70dB off-isolation. The disable function operates with TTL-compatible thresholds (enable ≥3.3V, disable ≤1.8V) and 25ns enable / 400ns disable timing, supporting power-gated multi-channel systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +1) | 280MHz - enables full NTSC/PAL video bandwidth and >100MHz digital signal reconstruction without gain-dependent roll-off. |
| Slew Rate | 2100V/µs - supports clean 5VPP step response in <2ns, critical for high-fidelity imaging and fast-settling ADC drivers. |
| Output Current (per channel) | ±190mA - drives 75Ω video lines, 100Ω ADC inputs, or parallel loads without external buffers. |
| Supply Current (quiescent) | 5.1mA/ch - achieves ultra-low power for triple-channel operation (15.3mA total), reducing thermal load in compact enclosures. |
| Disable Current | 150µA/ch - cuts total supply current to <500µA for all three channels, enabling dynamic power scaling in portable instruments. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.7nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in low-level signal paths such as wideband instrumentation amplifiers and sensor front-ends. |
| Differential Gain/Phase Error | 0.07%/0.02° - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements for RGB and composite video routing. |
Pinout & Package
OPA3691IDR is packaged in a 16-pin SOIC (SO-16) surface-mount package with standard 1.27mm pitch, compatible with automated assembly and IPC-7351B footprint D_300X100N.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9 | –IN A/B/C | Inverting inputs for each of three independent current-feedback amplifier channels. |
| 2, 6, 10 | +IN A/B/C | Noninverting inputs; high-impedance (100kΩ || 2pF) node for precision biasing and signal injection. |
| 3, 7, 11 | DIS A/B/C | Active-low disable control per channel; open or HIGH enables operation; LOW disables output (Hi-Z) and reduces supply current. |
| 4, 12 | +VS / –VS | Power supply pins shared across all channels; supports ±2.5V to ±6V dual or +5V to +12V single-supply operation. |
| 8, 13, 16 | OUT A/B/C | High-current outputs capable of ±190mA sourcing/sinking into 100Ω loads with <0.1% settling in 12ns. |
| 14, 15 | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating per TI design guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable current-feedback architecture | Eliminates gain-bandwidth trade-off: 280MHz at G = +1 and 190MHz at G = +2 on +5V supply - ideal for fixed-gain video buffers and ADC drivers. |
| Wide single-supply operation (+5V to +12V) | Delivers 3VPP output swing with >150MHz bandwidth on +5V, enabling compact, low-voltage portable test equipment and embedded vision systems. |
| Integrated per-channel disable control | Reduces system power by >99% per channel (150µA/ch disabled) with 25ns wake-up time - supports burst-mode sampling and power-aware FPGA interfaces. |
| Low distortion at high frequency | –70dBc 2nd-harmonic and –74dBc 3rd-harmonic at 5MHz/2VPP into 100Ω - preserves signal integrity in RGB amplification and cable driver applications. |
| Improved high-frequency pinout | Optimized SO-16 layout minimizes parasitic inductance between inverting inputs and feedback resistors - critical for stable >200MHz closed-loop performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-channel wideband amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA3690IDR | Voltage-feedback architecture; lower bandwidth (210MHz G=+1), higher input bias current (±10µA), no disable function. | Lacks per-channel shutdown; less suitable for power-constrained portable instruments or burst-mode systems. | Select when absolute lowest input offset voltage (±0.3mV) is prioritized over bandwidth stability and power gating. |
| OPA2691U | Dual-channel version; identical electrical specs per channel but only two amplifiers in SO-8 package; no DIS pins. | Requires two ICs to match OPA3691IDR's triple-channel count; increases board area and component count. | Select when board space allows dual-IC implementation and per-channel disable is not required. |
Compared with OPA3690IDR and OPA2691U, the OPA3691IDR uniquely combines triple-channel integration, current-feedback bandwidth consistency, and active power management - making it the only choice for compact, low-power, high-fidelity RGB/ADC systems requiring synchronized channel control.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the OPA3691IDR support?
The OPA3691IDR supports dual supplies from ±2.5V to ±6V and single supplies from +5V to +12V. At ±5V, it delivers ±4.0V output swing into no load and maintains 280MHz unity-gain bandwidth. Its internal biasing ensures stable operation across this range without external level-shifting components, making the OPA3691IDR suitable for both legacy ±5V systems and modern +5V embedded designs.
How does the disable function work on the OPA3691IDR?
The OPA3691IDR features three independent active-low disable pins (DIS A/B/C). Pulling any DIS pin LOW places that channel's output in high-impedance state and reduces its supply current to <150µA. With all three DIS pins LOW, total quiescent current drops below 500µA. The OPA3691IDR has TTL-compatible thresholds (enable ≥3.3V, disable ≤1.8V) and 25ns enable / 400ns disable timing - enabling precise power sequencing in multi-channel systems.
Can the OPA3691IDR drive 75Ω video loads?
Yes, the OPA3691IDR is explicitly characterized for 75Ω video loads. At G = +1 with ±5V supplies, it delivers 0.07% differential gain and 0.02° differential phase error into 150Ω (equivalent to 75Ω terminated), meeting broadcast video standards. Its ±190mA output current ensures stable 1V–4V swing into 75Ω, and the SO-16 pinout minimizes parasitics for clean 100+ MHz signal integrity - confirming the OPA3691IDR's suitability for RGB, YPbPr, and composite video routing.
What is the small-signal bandwidth of the OPA3691IDR at G = +2?
At G = +2 with ±5V supplies and 402Ω feedback resistor, the OPA3691IDR achieves a minimum small-signal bandwidth of 190MHz (tested over –40°C to +85°C) and typical 225MHz at +25°C. This gain-independent bandwidth - a hallmark of current-feedback architecture - allows consistent high-frequency response whether used as an ADC driver, video buffer, or active filter element, distinguishing the OPA3691IDR from voltage-feedback alternatives whose bandwidth drops sharply with increasing gain.
Is the OPA3691IDR pin-compatible with other OPAx691 family members?
Yes, the OPA3691IDR shares the same SO-16 (D) and SSOP-16 (DBQ) packages and identical pinout with OPA3690IDR and OPA3681IDR. However, functional differences exist: OPA3690IDR uses voltage-feedback topology and lacks disable pins, while OPA3681IDR is a fixed-gain +6 device. The OPA3691IDR's current-feedback architecture, per-channel disable, and unity-gain stability make it electrically distinct despite mechanical compatibility - so PCB reuse is possible, but circuit redesign may be needed for optimal performance.
