Product details
Overview
OPA4131UA/1K from Texas Instruments is a quad-channel, FET-input operational amplifier optimized for precision analog signal conditioning in multi-channel instrumentation systems. It delivers 4 MHz gain-bandwidth, 10 V/μs slew rate, ±4.5V to ±18V dual-supply operation, and ≤1 mV input offset voltage - enabling high-fidelity amplification in ECG front-ends and data acquisition channels.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4131UA/1K datasheet, OPA4131UA/1K pinout, OPA4131UA/1K application, or OPA4131UA/1K equivalent, key selection criteria include its quad-channel SOIC-16 layout, FET-input bias current (≤50 pA), rail-to-rail output swing capability, and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 300 pF without phase reversal.
Technical Context
The OPA4131UA/1K implements a fully independent quad architecture: all four amplifiers operate with isolated internal circuitry, ensuring no crosstalk during overdrive or short-circuit events. Its FET-input stage eliminates base-current errors common in bipolar op amps, supporting high-impedance sensor interfaces like pH electrodes and piezoelectric transducers.
It features laser-trimmed input offset voltage (±0.75 mV max), low drift (±10 μV/°C), and unity-gain stability with robust capacitive load drive - critical for active filter stages and transimpedance configurations in flow transmitter signal chains.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad FET-input operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA4132UA | Lower input voltage noise (12 nV/√Hz), higher quiescent current (2.2 mA/amp), same 4 MHz GBW | Better SNR in audio-grade or ultra-low-noise sensor apps; less suitable for battery-powered DAQ | Select when noise dominates error budget and power is secondary |
| TL074CDR | Higher input bias current (200 pA), lower GBW (3 MHz), wider temp range (–40°C to 105°C), lower cost | Acceptable for non-critical industrial monitoring where offset drift and noise are less constrained | Select for cost-sensitive, non-medical applications with relaxed precision requirements |
Compared with OPA4131UA/1K, the OPA4132UA improves voltage noise but increases power draw, while the TL074CDR trades precision for cost and temperature range - making OPA4131UA/1K the optimal balance for medical-grade DAQ and field instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA4131UA/1K can drive without instability?
The OPA4131UA/1K is characterized for stable operation with ≥300 pF capacitive loads, as verified in Figure 5-15 of the datasheet. This eliminates the need for isolation resistors in ADC driver or active filter applications, unlike many competing FET-input op amps that require external compensation above 50 pF.
Does the OPA4131UA/1K exhibit phase reversal when input common-mode voltage exceeds rails?
No - the OPA4131UA/1K is explicitly designed to prevent output phase reversal even when inputs exceed the common-mode voltage range (CMVR). This behavior is guaranteed across all four channels and is critical for maintaining control-loop integrity in flow transmitter and ECG applications.
What is the operating temperature range for the OPA4131UA/1K?
The OPA4131UA/1K is rated for ambient temperatures from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM. This range supports deployment in industrial environments, portable medical devices, and field-deployed instrumentation without derating.
How does the OPA4131UA/1K differ from the OPA4131NA variant?
The OPA4131UA/1K uses a 16-pin SOIC (DW) package with tape-and-reel packaging (1000 units), while the OPA4131NA uses a 14-pin SOIC (D) package in tube format. Both share identical electrical specifications, but the DW package offers better thermal resistance (RθJA = 110°C/W vs 80°C/W for PDIP) and improved manufacturability for automated assembly.
Is the OPA4131UA/1K RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the OPA4131UA/1K carries "Yes" in the RoHS column of TI's official PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM and uses NIPDAUAG (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level-3 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
