Product details
Overview
OPA4137U/2K5 from Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) is a quad FET-input operational amplifier optimized for low-cost, low-power precision signal conditioning in space-constrained systems. It delivers 5pA input bias current, ±1.5mV max input offset voltage, 1MHz gain-bandwidth, 3.5V/µs slew rate, and operates from ±2.25V to ±18V supplies - enabling use in battery-powered instrumentation and photodetector front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4137U/2K5 datasheet, OPA4137U/2K5 pinout, OPA4137U/2K5 application, or OPA4137U/2K5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its rail-to-rail input capability (extends to V+), 220µA/channel quiescent current, SO-14 package footprint, and guaranteed performance over –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The OPA4137U/2K5 integrates four fully independent amplifier channels in a single SO-14 package, with no crosstalk between sections - critical for multi-channel sensor interfaces. Its JFET input stage enables ultra-low input bias current (5pA typ) and high input impedance (10¹² Ω || 2pF), supporting high-impedance sources like photodiodes and strain gauges without signal degradation.
It features unity-gain stability, input common-mode range extending to the positive supply rail, and robust ESD protection. The device avoids phase inversion under overdrive and maintains linearity up to output swing limits, with specified open-loop gain of 94dB and CMRR of 74dB (min) across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | ±5pA typical - preserves signal integrity with megaohm-level source impedances (e.g., photodiode, pH electrode). |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5mV maximum - enables DC-coupled amplification with ≤0.01% gain error in 100mV full-scale systems. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to 100kHz at G=10, suitable for active filters and anti-aliasing stages. |
| Slew Rate | 3.5V/µs - ensures ≤10µs settling to 0.01% for 10V steps, meeting timing requirements in data acquisition front-ends. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.25V to ±18V dual or +4.5V to +36V single - accommodates industrial rails (±15V), battery systems (±3V), and wide-range sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | ±220µA per channel - allows four-channel operation at <1mA total, ideal for portable and energy-sensitive designs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control feedback and test equipment enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
OPA4137U/2K5 is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (SO-14) surface-mount package with standard 1.27mm pitch and 8.65mm × 3.91mm body dimensions. Thermal resistance θJA is 100°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Out A | Amplifier A output - drives external load or next-stage input; capable of ±13.9V swing with ±15V supplies. |
| 2 | –In A | Inverting input for Channel A - high-impedance node; requires matched trace routing to minimize offset drift. |
| 3 | +In A | Non-inverting input for Channel A - extends to V+, enabling high-side sensing and single-supply configurations. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - must be bypassed with ≥10nF ceramic capacitor near pin for stability and noise rejection. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET input stage | 5pA input bias current enables direct connection to high-Z sources (e.g., piezoelectric sensors, glass electrodes) without loading error. |
| Rail-to-rail input (to V+) | Common-mode range includes the positive supply - eliminates level-shifting circuitry in high-side current sensing and single-supply transducer interfaces. |
| Independent quad architecture | No crosstalk between channels ensures accurate parallel processing of four sensor signals (e.g., multi-axis IMU, quad photodiode array). |
| Low quiescent current | 220µA per channel allows four amplifiers to operate below 1mA total - extends battery life in portable multimeters and handheld analyzers. |
| Unity-gain stable | Operates reliably at G = 1 without external compensation - simplifies design of voltage followers, active filters, and I/V converters. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL074CDR | Higher input bias current (30pA typ), higher noise (18nV/√Hz), wider offset spread (±10mV max), but lower cost. | Acceptable in AC-coupled or moderate-precision applications where 5pA bias is not critical. | Select TL074CDR only when budget constraints outweigh need for low-offset, low-drift performance in DC-coupled sensor paths. |
| OPA4140AIDR | Lower offset (±125µV max), lower noise (5.1nV/√Hz), rail-to-rail output, but higher quiescent current (1.5mA/channel) and cost. | Preferred for high-accuracy, low-noise applications such as medical instrumentation or precision data loggers. | Choose OPA4140AIDR when system-level accuracy and dynamic range justify increased power and cost; avoid if <1mA total supply current is mandatory. |
Compared with TL074CDR, OPA4137U/2K5 provides 6× lower input bias current and tighter offset control, making it superior for high-impedance DC measurements; versus OPA4140AIDR, it trades off noise and offset performance for 7× lower quiescent current - optimal for battery-limited multi-channel systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA4137U/2K5 can drive without instability?
The OPA4137U/2K5 is specified to drive up to 1000pF capacitive loads while maintaining stability. This capability supports direct connection to ADC input capacitors, long PCB traces, or multiple downstream inputs without requiring isolation resistors - provided proper power supply decoupling (≥10nF ceramic per supply pin) is implemented.
Does the OPA4137U/2K5 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the OPA4137U/2K5 operates from a single supply of +4.5V to +36V. Its input common-mode range extends to the positive rail (V+), enabling high-side sensing configurations. Output swing is specified from (V–)+1.2V to (V+)–1.1V, so for +5V single supply, expect ~1.2V to 3.9V output range.
Is the OPA4137U/2K5 pin-compatible with other quad op-amps in SO-14 packages?
No - the OPA4137U/2K5 uses a proprietary pinout optimized for independent channel routing and thermal symmetry. It is not pin-compatible with industry-standard quad op-amps like LM324 or TL074. Layout redesign is required when substituting; refer to the official SO-14 pin diagram in the SBOS089 datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA4137U/2K5 in SO-14 package?
The OPA4137U/2K5 in SO-14 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 100°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (2s2p board). With four channels drawing 220µA each at ±15V, total power dissipation is ~13.2mW, resulting in <1.4°C junction rise above ambient - well within safe operating limits.
Can the OPA4137U/2K5 be used in high-temperature industrial environments?
The OPA4137U/2K5 is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C and rated for storage and operation up to +125°C. While functional beyond +85°C, parameters like input offset drift (±15µV/°C max) and CMRR (70dB min) degrade outside the specified range - use only in controlled enclosures or with derating for extended high-temperature deployment.
