Product details
Overview
OPA378AIDBVT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output, zero-drift precision operational amplifier optimized for low-noise (0.4 µVPP, 0.1–10 Hz), low-power (125 µA quiescent current), and high-precision (20 µV max offset voltage, 0.1 µV/°C drift) signal conditioning in battery-powered systems. It operates from 2.2 V to 5.5 V, delivers 900 kHz gain-bandwidth, and supports medical-grade sensor interfaces such as glucose meters and thermopile modules.
For engineers reviewing the OPA378AIDBVT datasheet, OPA378AIDBVT pinout, OPA378AIDBVT application, or OPA378AIDBVT equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SC70-5/SOT23-5 package mapping, EMI-filtered input architecture, noise spectral density data, and validated alternatives for portable instrumentation and precision analog front-ends.
Technical Context
The OPA378AIDBVT employs proprietary auto-calibration with continuous 350 kHz core amplification and zero-drift correction every 3 µs-eliminating 1/f flicker noise while maintaining 20 nV/√Hz voltage noise density at 1 kHz. Its internal EMI filter (–3 dB at ~25 MHz) suppresses RF rectification effects on input pins.
It features rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 50 mV beyond supplies, 112 dB CMRR (typ), 1.5 µV/V PSRR (typ), and output swing within 6 mV of rails (RL = 10 kΩ), enabling direct ADC driving without linearity degradation in unregulated single-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Offset Voltage | 20 µV max - ensures ≤0.002% error in 1 V full-scale sensor outputs without trimming |
| Offset Drift | 0.1 µV/°C - maintains <1 µV total drift over –40°C to +85°C industrial range |
| Voltage Noise | 0.4 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - enables sub-µV resolution in DC-coupled weigh scale and thermocouple circuits |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA - allows >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered handheld test equipment |
| Gain Bandwidth | 900 kHz - supports stable unity-gain operation with ≥60° phase margin into 100 pF capacitive loads |
| Supply Range | 2.2 V to 5.5 V - operates directly from single Li-ion or two alkaline cells without LDO regulation |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (V–) – 0.05 V to (V+) + 0.05 V - accommodates signals beyond rails in bridge-sensor applications |
Pinout & Package
OPA378AIDBVT is available in SOT23-5 (DBV) and SC70-5 (DCK) packages. The DBV variant uses the standard SOT23-5 pinout: Pin 1 = V–, Pin 2 = In–, Pin 3 = In+, Pin 4 = V+, Pin 5 = Out.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (V–) | Negative supply terminal | Reference for internal biasing; accepts ground or negative rail; must be ≤0.3 V below In–/In+ to avoid diode conduction |
| Pin 2 (In–) | Inverting input | High-impedance node (±150 pA bias current); connects to feedback network in closed-loop configurations |
| Pin 3 (In+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance node with EMI filtering; common-mode range extends 50 mV beyond supply rails |
| Pin 4 (V+) | Positive supply terminal | Accepts 2.2–5.5 V; internal ESD clamps limit transient overvoltage to ±0.3 V beyond rails |
| Pin 5 (Out) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 10 kΩ load within 6 mV of either rail; stable with ≥100 pF capacitive loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA333AIDBVR | Same Zerø-Drift architecture but lower GBW (350 kHz), higher IQ (17 µA), and no EMI filter | Limited to lower-bandwidth DC applications; unsuitable for ECG or fast step-response designs | Select when ultra-low IQ (<20 µA) is critical and 350 kHz GBW suffices |
| MCP6V81T-E/OT | Zero-drift op-amp with 1.2 MHz GBW, 1.6 µV offset, but higher IQ (170 µA) and no specified EMI rejection | Better bandwidth for active filters, but lacks documented RF immunity for portable medical use | Select when higher speed is required and EMI robustness is secondary |
Compared with OPA333AIDBVR and MCP6V81T-E/OT, the OPA378AIDBVT uniquely balances 900 kHz bandwidth, 125 µA IQ, 0.4 µVPP noise, and integrated EMI filtering-making it optimal for regulated-free, battery-operated precision analog front-ends where RF immunity and DC stability are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for OPA378AIDBVT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OPA378AIDBVT is +7 V. However, the recommended operating range is 2.2 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding +7 V risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings. Within its 2.2–5.5 V range, OPA378AIDBVT maintains full specification compliance including 20 µV offset, 0.1 µV/°C drift, and 900 kHz bandwidth.
Does OPA378AIDBVT support rail-to-rail input and output simultaneously?
Yes, OPA378AIDBVT supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range (V– – 0.05 V to V+ + 0.05 V) and rail-to-rail output swing (within 6 mV of either rail at RL = 10 kΩ). This dual rail-to-rail capability enables true single-supply operation in sensor interfaces like thermocouples and bridge amplifiers where input signals approach supply rails and output must drive ADC reference points directly.
How does the EMI filter in OPA378AIDBVT improve system reliability?
The OPA378AIDBVT integrates an internal 25 MHz low-pass EMI filter on both input terminals, reducing susceptibility to RF interference from WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular sources. This prevents rectification-induced DC offset shifts-verified by TI's testing showing <29 dB attenuation at 800 MHz. In portable medical devices, this eliminates need for external ferrite beads or RC filters, simplifying layout and improving long-term measurement stability of OPA378AIDBVT.
What is the typical quiescent current of OPA378AIDBVT at 5.5 V supply?
The typical quiescent current of OPA378AIDBVT is 125 µA at VS = +5.5 V and TA = +25°C, with a maximum of 150 µA over temperature (–40°C to +125°C). This ultra-low IQ enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices. For example, in a 200 µA system budget, OPA378AIDBVT consumes only 62.5% of available current-leaving headroom for MCU sleep modes and wireless transmission bursts.
Can OPA378AIDBVT drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
Yes, OPA378AIDBVT is unity-gain stable and characterized to drive ≥100 pF capacitive loads without peaking or oscillation, as confirmed in Figure 18 of the SBOS417D datasheet. Its internal compensation and low-output-impedance design allow direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces. For loads >100 pF, a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between OPA378AIDBVT output and capacitance restores phase margin while preserving DC accuracy.
