Product details
Overview
OPA4228PA from Texas Instruments is a quad, high-precision, low-noise operational amplifier optimized for closed-loop gains ≥5. It delivers 33 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 11 V/µs slew rate, 3 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, 138 dB CMRR, and ±75 µV max input offset voltage across –40°C to 85°C. It is used in spectral analysis instrumentation requiring simultaneous high-speed signal conditioning and DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4228PA datasheet, OPA4228PA pinout, OPA4228PA application, or OPA4228PA equivalent, key selection criteria include closed-loop gain stability ≥5, thermal performance in PDIP-14 packages, channel separation >110 dB at 1 kHz, and compatibility with ±2.5 V to ±18 V dual supplies.
Technical Context
The OPA4228PA implements a compensated bipolar input stage enabling stable operation at closed-loop gains of 5 or higher-unlike the unity-gain-stable OPA4227. Its internal compensation avoids external components while maintaining phase margin >60° under specified load conditions.
It features laser-trimmed input offset voltage and drift (±0.1 µV/°C typical), differential input impedance of 10⁷ Ω || 12 pF, and common-mode rejection that remains ≥120 dB over –40°C to 85°C. Output drive capability supports ±45 mA short-circuit current and rail-to-rail loading into 600 Ω with ±3.5 V headroom.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA4227PA | Unity-gain stable; 8 MHz GBW, 2.3 V/µs slew rate; lower speed but broader gain flexibility | Better suited for G = 1–2 instrumentation amplifiers and integrators where stability at low gain is required | Select OPA4227PA when closed-loop gain < 5 or when driving capacitive loads without isolation resistors |

FAQ
What is the minimum closed-loop gain required for stable operation of the OPA4228PA?
The OPA4228PA is internally compensated for stable operation at closed-loop gains of 5 or greater. Attempting to use it at unity gain or G = 2 will result in peaking, overshoot, or oscillation. For lower-gain configurations, the OPA4227PA is the recommended alternative within the same family.
Does the OPA4228PA support single-supply operation?
Yes, the OPA4228PA supports single-supply operation with total supply voltage ranging from 5 V to 36 V. For example, it functions correctly with V+ = +5 V and V– = 0 V, provided input common-mode and output swing constraints (V– +2 V to V+ –2 V) are respected.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the OPA4228PA in its PDIP-14 package?
The OPA4228PA in PDIP-14 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 65.5 °C/W, as specified in the TI datasheet SBOS110B. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P test board conditions and guides heatsinking requirements for continuous 4-channel operation at full quiescent current.
How does the OPA4228PA compare to the OPA228 in terms of noise performance?
The OPA4228PA matches the OPA228's noise performance exactly: 3 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz, 90 nVp-p (0.1–10 Hz), and 0.4 pA/√Hz current noise. As a quad version of the OPA228, it maintains identical per-channel electrical characteristics including offset, drift, CMRR, and THD+N.
Can the OPA4228PA drive a 600 Ω load across its full output voltage range?
Yes-the OPA4228PA delivers ±3.5 V output swing into a 600 Ω load with ±15 V supplies, meeting the full-swing requirement for professional audio line drivers and telecom interface circuits. This is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Voltage Output" with RL = 600 Ω.
