Product details
Overview
OPA4171AIDR from Texas Instruments is a quad-channel, rail-to-rail output, general-purpose operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 2.7V to 36V (±1.35V to ±18V), featuring 3MHz gain bandwidth, 14nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1kHz, ±0.3µV/°C typical offset drift, and 120dB typical common-mode rejection. It serves precision signal conditioning in industrial sensor interfaces and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4171AIDR datasheet, OPA4171AIDR pinout, OPA4171AIDR application, or OPA4171AIDR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, TSSOP-14 package layout, real-world use cases in transducer amplification and temperature measurement, and validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The OPA4171AIDR implements a high-voltage CMOS input stage enabling rail-to-rail output swing and full input operation 100mV beyond the negative rail and within 2V of the positive rail. Its internal phase-reversal protection prevents output inversion when inputs exceed the linear common-mode range - a critical feature in noninverting configurations with wide-swing sensors.
Specified across –40°C to +125°C and stable with up to 300pF capacitive loads, the device uses a low-quiescent-current architecture (475µA per amplifier) without sacrificing DC precision: input bias current is only ±8pA, offset voltage is ±1.8mV max, and open-loop gain exceeds 110dB - enabling high-accuracy closed-loop designs in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA4197IPW | Higher precision: ±25µV max offset, ±0.1µV/°C drift, 10MHz GBW, but 650µA IQ per channel. | Better for closed-loop servo control requiring <0.01% linearity; less suitable for ultra-low-power battery use. | Select OPA4197IPW when offset and drift dominate system error budget over quiescent power. |
| LM324DR | Lower cost, wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C), but higher 3mV offset, 20nV/√Hz noise, and 1.2MHz GBW. | Suitable for non-critical industrial controls where 1% accuracy suffices and BOM cost is primary constraint. | Select LM324DR only when absolute DC precision and noise performance are secondary to unit cost and legacy design continuity. |
Compared with OPA4171AIDR, OPA4197IPW trades 38% higher quiescent current for 72× lower offset voltage and 2.5× higher bandwidth, while LM324DR reduces cost by ~40% at the expense of 16× higher input noise and 2.5× lower CMRR - making OPA4171AIDR the optimal balance for mid-tier precision industrial analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA4171AIDR can drive without instability?
The OPA4171AIDR is specified stable with capacitive loads up to 300pF when configured in unity-gain or moderate-gain configurations. This capability eliminates the need for output isolation resistors in many PCB layouts, simplifying design for sensor interfaces and data acquisition systems. For loads exceeding 300pF, a series resistor (e.g., 50Ω) between the OPA4171AIDR output and the load restores phase margin. The device's internal compensation ensures consistent behavior across its full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does the OPA4171AIDR support true rail-to-rail input operation?
The OPA4171AIDR supports rail-to-rail input operation with a common-mode voltage range extending 100mV below the negative supply (V–) and within 2V of the positive supply (V+). It can accept inputs up to 100mV beyond V+, but with reduced performance (e.g., increased offset, lower CMRR) in that extended region. For full-spec operation, keep inputs between (V–) – 0.1V and (V+) – 2V. This behavior is explicitly characterized in the datasheet's Figure 5-4 and Table 6-1.
What is the typical quiescent current per channel of the OPA4171AIDR at room temperature?
The typical quiescent current per channel of the OPA4171AIDR is 475µA at TA = 25°C and VS = ±18V. Over temperature (–40°C to +125°C), it rises to a maximum of 650µA per amplifier. This low power consumption enables four independent precision amplifiers in space- and energy-constrained applications such as portable test equipment and multi-sensor IoT edge nodes - without requiring active power gating or duty cycling.
How does the OPA4171AIDR prevent phase reversal during input overvoltage conditions?
The OPA4171AIDR incorporates internal phase-reversal protection circuitry that clamps the output to the appropriate supply rail instead of inverting it when inputs exceed the linear common-mode range. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 5-25 ("No Phase Reversal") of the datasheet, where the output remains stable even with ±18.5V sine-wave inputs applied. Unlike conventional op-amps, this feature eliminates risk of latch-up or erroneous control signals in sensor front-ends exposed to transient overvoltages.
Is the OPA4171AIDR pin-compatible with other members of the OPAx171 family?
No - the OPA4171AIDR (quad, TSSOP-14) is not pin-compatible with the OPA171 (single, SOT-553/SOIC-8) or OPA2171 (dual, VSSOP-8/SOIC-8). Each variant has distinct pin counts, layouts, and terminal assignments. For example, OPA4171AIDR dedicates pins 1–14 to four complete amplifier channels plus dual supplies, whereas OPA171 uses only five pins for one channel. Migration requires PCB redesign; however, electrical specifications (gain bandwidth, noise, drift) are identical across the family for direct functional replacement.
