Product details
Overview
OPA391DCKR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, precision rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power, high-impedance sensor signal conditioning. It delivers 1MHz gain-bandwidth, ±45µV max input offset voltage, 24µA quiescent current, and 10fA input bias current - enabling accurate amplification in battery-powered medical sensors (e.g., blood glucose monitors) and industrial transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the OPA391DCKR datasheet, OPA391DCKR pinout, OPA391DCKR application, or OPA391DCKR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SC-70 package details, real-world use cases in electrochemical sensing and process analytics, and validated alternative options for low-voltage, low-IQ precision amplification.
Technical Context
The OPA391DCKR employs TI's proprietary e-trim™ technology to achieve ultra-low offset (±45µV max) and drift (±1.2µV/°C) without auto-zero or chopper switching - eliminating switching artifacts and enabling clean DC-coupled operation. Its CMOS input stage supports rail-to-rail common-mode range (±100mV beyond rails) and 1TΩ || 1pF input impedance.
It features a robust output stage tolerant of ≥100pF capacitive load, 1V/µs slew rate, and 60mA output drive capability - allowing direct interface with ADC drivers, active filters, and low-impedance loads without external isolation resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain bandwidth product | 1 MHz - enables stable unity-gain operation and supports bandwidth-critical sensor front ends up to ~800 kHz. |
| Input offset voltage (max) | ±45 µV - ensures ≤0.001% error in 4.5V full-scale ratiometric bridge measurements. |
| Quiescent current | 24 µA - allows continuous operation for >10 years on a CR2032 coin cell in wearable patches. |
| Input bias current (max) | 10 fA - minimizes voltage error across >1 GΩ source impedances (e.g., pH electrodes, photodiodes). |
| Supply voltage range | 1.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, 2×AA, or 3.3V/5V system rails without regulation. |
| Input common-mode range | ±100 mV beyond rails - permits true rail-to-rail input operation even at 1.7V supply. |
| Slew rate | 1 V/µs - settles 4-V steps in <8 µs, suitable for fast step-response requirements in flow transmitters. |
Pinout & Package
OPA391DCKR is packaged in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) surface-mount package, measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm (typ), with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN (Pin 1) | Noninverting input | High-impedance node (1 TΩ || 1 pF); accepts signals from ±100 mV beyond supply rails. |
| V− (Pin 2) | Negative power supply | Reference for dual-supply operation or ground in single-supply configurations. |
| −IN (Pin 3) | Inverting input | Differential input node; no internal ESD diodes to rails - supports unrestricted differential voltage. |
| OUT (Pin 4) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives ≥60 mA and remains stable with ≥100 pF capacitive load. |
| V+ (Pin 5) | Positive power supply | Accepts 1.7–5.5 V; powers internal e-trim circuitry and output stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| e-trim™ offset calibration | Eliminates need for external trimming or auto-zero circuitry; achieves ±45 µV max offset without switching noise. |
| EMI/RFI filtered inputs | Rejects >80 dB of RF interference at 900 MHz (EMIRR IN+ = 120 dB), critical for analog security cameras in noisy environments. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Drives within 3 mV of rails (no load), maximizing dynamic range into 12-bit+ SAR ADCs. |
| High capacitive load drive | Stable with ≥100 pF directly on output - avoids series isolation resistors in filter or cable-drive applications. |
| Ultra-low temperature drift | ±1.2 µV/°C max drift ensures <0.15 µV error over 0–70°C ambient - essential for uncalibrated medical sensor patches. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision, low-IQ operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA333AIDBVR | Chopper-stabilized; 17 µV max offset, 17 µA IQ, but introduces 100 nVPP switching noise. | Not recommended for DC-coupled electrochemical sensors due to chopper ripple. | Select OPA333AIDBVR only when ultra-low offset dominates over noise sensitivity. |
| LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF | Zero-drift architecture; 1 µV max offset, 45 µA IQ, 1.5 MHz GBW, SO-5 package. | Higher IQ reduces battery life in wearables; larger SO-5 footprint vs. SC-70. | Choose LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF when sub-5 µV offset is mandatory and supply >3V is available. |
Compared with OPA391DCKR, OPA333AIDBVR offers lower quiescent current but introduces chopper noise unsuitable for amperometric sensing, while LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF delivers superior offset performance at the cost of 88% higher IQ and larger PCB area - making OPA391DCKR optimal for balanced precision, power, and size in portable medical and industrial transmitters.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the OPA391DCKR?
The OPA391DCKR is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per TI's production test conditions and supports deployment in automotive under-hood modules, industrial process analyzers, and outdoor environmental sensors - all while maintaining ±45 µV max offset and 24 µA quiescent current performance.
Does the OPA391DCKR require external compensation for stability?
No, the OPA391DCKR is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation. Its internal compensation supports stable operation with ≥100 pF capacitive load on the output - a key advantage over many low-IQ amplifiers that oscillate without series RISO. This simplifies layout in ADC driver and cable-interface applications.
Can the OPA391DCKR operate from a 1.8V supply?
Yes, the OPA391DCKR operates down to 1.7V, making it fully compatible with 1.8V logic and microcontrollers. At 1.8V, it maintains rail-to-rail input/output swing, 1 MHz GBW, and 24 µA quiescent current - enabling direct integration into energy-harvesting and ultra-low-voltage IoT nodes without LDO overhead.
Is the OPA391DCKR pin-compatible with other SC-70 op amps like the OPA348 or TLV2460?
No, the OPA391DCKR uses a non-standard SC-70 pinout: Pin 1 = +IN, Pin 2 = V−, Pin 3 = −IN, Pin 4 = OUT, Pin 5 = V+. This differs from industry-standard SC-70 op amps (e.g., OPA348: Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = −IN, Pin 3 = +IN, Pin 4 = V−, Pin 5 = V+). PCB layout must follow TI's DCK mapping to avoid functional failure.
What packaging and marking information is provided on the OPA391DCKR reel?
The OPA391DCKR ships in tape-and-reel format (3,000 units/reel) with SC-70 (DCK) package. Top-side marking is "391" followed by date code and TI logo. Each unit is 100% tested for offset voltage, quiescent current, and open-loop gain per SBOS925E production data - ensuring compliance with medical and industrial reliability standards.
