Product details
Overview
OPA4228PAG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad, high-precision, low-noise operational amplifier optimized for closed-loop gains ≥5, delivering 33 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 10 V/µs slew rate, 138 dB CMRR, and 75 µV max input offset voltage across –40°C to +85°C. It operates from ±2.5 V to ±18 V supplies and serves in professional audio amplifiers, spectrum analyzers, and precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4228PAG4 datasheet, OPA4228PAG4 pinout, OPA4228PAG4 application, or OPA4228PAG4 equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world settling time (1.5 µs to 0.1%), noise spectral density (3 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz), thermal resistance (RθJA = 65 °C/W in SO-14), and validated alternative options for multi-channel precision analog signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The OPA4228PAG4 implements a fully compensated, high-speed bipolar input stage optimized for stability at closed-loop gains of 5 V/V or higher-unlike its unity-gain-stable OPA4227 counterpart. Its architecture delivers wide bandwidth with low distortion (0.00005% THD+N at 1 kHz) and maintains 160 dB open-loop gain over temperature.
It features matched quad-channel topology with >120 dB channel separation up to 100 kHz, rail-to-rail output swing capability (±13.5 V into 600 Ω at ±15 V supply), and robust ESD protection (1000 V HBM, 250 V CDM), enabling reliable operation in industrial test equipment and high-fidelity audio front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Slew Rate | 10 V/µs supports clean 10-V step response with ≤1.5 µs settling to 0.1%, critical for high-speed instrumentation buffers. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤75 µV (max) ensures sub-0.05% gain error in 16-bit precision sensor interfaces without trimming. |
| CMRR | 138 dB minimizes common-mode interference in differential sensor bridges and isolated measurement circuits. |
| Noise Density | 3 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz enables <1 µV RMS integrated noise in 20 kHz audio bandwidth, preserving SNR in pro-audio stages. |
| Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±18 V allows flexible deployment in both portable low-voltage and industrial high-dynamic-range systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C rated performance guarantees stable DC accuracy and AC response in uncontrolled industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
OPA4228PAG4 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (SO-14) package with standard quad op-amp pinout conforming to industry layout conventions for dual-in-line compatibility and PCB footprint reuse.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Out A | Amplifier A output; drives external load or next stage with 45 mA short-circuit current capability. |

| 9 | –In C | Inverting input for channel C; supports cascaded or parallel configurations without crosstalk degradation. |
| 10 | +In C | Noninverting input for channel C; referenced to same V+ and V– rails as all channels. |
| 11 | V– | Negative supply rail; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling to suppress ground bounce in multi-channel switching. |
| 12 | +In D | Noninverting input for channel D; completes full quad functionality with independent biasing. |
| 13 | –In D | Inverting input for channel D; enables four-channel differential or single-ended amplification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA4227PAG4 | Unity-gain stable; 8 MHz GBW, 2.3 V/µs slew rate, identical noise and offset specs. | Better suited for G = 1 buffers, active filters, and integrators requiring unconditional stability. | Select OPA4227PAG4 when circuit topology demands unity-gain operation or lower power sensitivity. |
| AD8676ARUZ | Single-supply capable (2.7–36 V), 10 MHz GBW, 2.5 V/µs slew rate, 12.6 nV/√Hz noise at 1 kHz. | Preferred for single-rail industrial sensors and battery-powered precision instruments with wider supply flexibility. | Choose AD8676ARUZ where supply headroom is constrained or rail-to-rail input is required alongside low offset. |
Compared with OPA4228PAG4, OPA4227PAG4 trades bandwidth for universal stability, while AD8676ARUZ sacrifices speed and noise performance for single-supply operation and input rail-to-rail capability-making each suitable for distinct precision analog subsystem requirements.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended closed-loop gain for stable operation of the OPA4228PAG4?
The OPA4228PAG4 is optimized for closed-loop gains of 5 V/V or greater. Operating below this gain may result in peaking or instability due to its internal compensation. For unity-gain or G = 2 applications, the pin-compatible OPA4227PAG4 is specified and tested for unconditional stability across all gains.
Does the OPA4228PAG4 support dual-supply operation down to ±2.5 V?
Yes, the OPA4228PAG4 is fully specified for dual-supply operation from ±2.5 V to ±18 V. At ±2.5 V, it maintains 132 dB open-loop gain, 120 dB CMRR, and 3.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise density-enabling low-voltage precision signal conditioning without performance compromise.
How does the OPA4228PAG4 handle capacitive loads in driving ADC inputs?
The OPA4228PAG4 drives capacitive loads up to 100 pF with minimal overshoot (<5%) in unity-gain configuration. For larger loads (e.g., 1000 pF typical of SAR ADC inputs), a series resistor (20–50 Ω) between output and capacitor is recommended to maintain stability and preserve settling time.
Is the OPA4228PAG4 pin-compatible with legacy OP27/OP37-based designs?
No-OPA4228PAG4 is a quad device in SO-14, whereas OP27/OP37 are single amplifiers in 8-pin packages. However, the quad OPA4228PAG4 is pin-compatible with OPA4227PAG4 and serves as a direct upgrade path for space-constrained multi-channel designs previously using multiple OP27/OP37 units.
What thermal derating applies to the OPA4228PAG4 in SO-14 package at full 4-channel operation?
With RθJA = 65 °C/W and 3.8 mA per amplifier (15.2 mA total), dissipation is ~228 mW at ±15 V. Ambient temperature must be limited to ≤75°C to keep junction temperature ≤125°C. For continuous 85°C ambient, power dissipation should be reduced by ~20% via supply voltage scaling or gain adjustment.
