Product details
Overview
OPA445APG4 from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage, FET-input operational amplifier designed for precision signal conditioning in ±10V to ±45V supply systems. It delivers 15V/µs slew rate, 10pA input bias current, and ±15mA output drive-enabling use in piezo drivers, high-voltage regulators, and test equipment requiring wide common-mode swing and low input loading.
For engineers reviewing the OPA445APG4 datasheet, OPA445APG4 pinout, OPA445APG4 application, or OPA445APG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±45V max supply rating, SO-8 package thermal performance (θJA = 150°C/W), offset trim capability, and verified operation from −55°C to +125°C across all variants.
Technical Context
The OPA445APG4 employs JFET input stage architecture enabling ultra-low input bias current (10pA typ) and high input impedance (1014 Ω || 3 pF), critical for high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision integrators. Its laser-trimmed input circuitry achieves ±1.5 mV max input offset voltage with ±10 µV/°C drift over −25°C to +85°C.
Internal compensation ensures stability at unity gain while supporting full-power bandwidth up to 70 kHz (70 VPP) and open-loop gain of 110 dB. The device maintains specified performance across ±10V to ±45V supplies, with quiescent current stable at ±4.7 mA and output voltage swing limited to (V−)+5 V to (V+)−5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±10V to ±45V - supports unbalanced rails (e.g., +80V/−10V) and high-output-voltage applications without external level-shifting. |
| Slew Rate | 15 V/µs - enables clean 70 kHz full-power response at 70 VPP, essential for fast piezo actuation and pulse amplification. |
| Input Bias Current | 10 pA (typ) - minimizes error in high-Z feedback networks (e.g., >100 MΩ), preserving accuracy in electrometer-grade circuits. |
| Output Current | ±15 mA - drives moderate loads directly; parallel configuration or external transistors extend capability to 1 A per TI application note. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5 mV (max) - laser-trimmed for low DC error in precision instrumentation, with pins 1/5 supporting external nulling. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial, aerospace, and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 150°C/W (SO-8) - requires PCB copper area or thermal vias for sustained 15 mA output at ±40V without exceeding 125°C junction limit. |
Pinout & Package
OPA445APG4 is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with standard op amp pinout and exposed pad not electrically connected. Package dimensions: 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.75 mm (JEDEC MS-012).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Trim (−) | Connects to wiper of 100 kΩ potentiometer for input offset nulling; must not be used to correct system-level offsets. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (−In) | High-impedance FET node; requires series resistor if input voltage exceeds supply rails to prevent gate diode conduction. |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input (+In) | Matches pin 2 in impedance and bias behavior; differential input voltage rating is ±80 V absolute max. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply terminal; case connection in TO-99 variant, but isolated in SO-8; PowerPAD variant ties thermal pad to V−. |
| 5 | Offset Trim (+) | Paired with pin 1 for trimming; potentiometer end terminals connect to V+ and V− respectively per Figure 2 in datasheet SBOS156B. |
| 6 | Output | Capable of ±15 mA continuous sourcing/sinking; safe operating area depends on |VS − VO| and thermal design. |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply terminal; supports up to +45 V; bypass with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to V+, V−, or ground per layout best practice-no functional impact. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET input stage | 10 pA typical input bias current enables direct interfacing with high-impedance sources (e.g., pH electrodes, photodiodes) without signal degradation. |
| Laser-trimmed input offset | ±1.5 mV max offset voltage ensures minimal DC error in closed-loop configurations like precision integrators and voltage-to-current converters. |
| Offset trim pins (1 & 5) | Allows field calibration of input offset without modifying external feedback; preserves temperature drift performance when used per datasheet guidance. |
| Wide supply range (±10V to ±45V) | Eliminates need for external charge pumps or rail splitters in high-voltage analog front-ends such as piezo driver stages and HV power supply error amplifiers. |
| SO-8 PowerPAD compatibility | Pin-compatible with standard SO-8 footprints; thermal pad soldering reduces θJA to 52°C/W (with heat-spreader), enabling higher sustained output current. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA445AU | Same silicon die, identical electrical specs; differs only in SOIC packaging (D) and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. | Identical functional use; preferred for new designs due to surface-mount compatibility and moisture sensitivity level 3 compliance. | Select OPA445AU for volume production with reflow assembly; OPA445APG4 remains valid for through-hole prototyping or legacy board reuse. |
| OPA454AIDDA | Higher 22 V/µs slew rate, lower 3.5 pA input bias, but reduced ±35V max supply and no offset trim pins. | Better for ultra-low-noise, high-speed applications below ±35V; unsuitable where offset trimming or >±35V rails are required. | Choose OPA445APG4 when offset adjustment, >±35V operation, or proven thermal derating at 150°C/W is mandatory. |
Compared with OPA445AU, OPA445APG4 offers identical performance in a PDIP-8 package suited for breadboarding and thermal testing, while OPA445AIDDA trades offset trim and voltage range for improved speed and input current-making OPA445APG4 the optimal choice for high-voltage, trimmable precision designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the OPA445APG4?
The OPA445APG4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±50V, but its specified operating range is ±10V to ±45V. Operation at ±45V is fully characterized across temperature, delivering 15V/µs slew rate and ±15mA output current. Exceeding ±45V risks permanent damage and voids warranty compliance per TI's SBOS156B datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the OPA445APG4 require external components for stability with capacitive loads?
Yes-the OPA445APG4 can oscillate when driving >100 pF directly. TI recommends adding a series RC network (e.g., 20 Ω + 0.22 µF) between output and load per Figure 3 in SBOS156B. This preserves phase margin without degrading DC accuracy, unlike simple series resistance which introduces gain error. Layout practices-including short traces and local 0.1 µF bypass caps-are equally critical.
Can the OPA445APG4 be used in single-supply configurations?
Yes-the OPA445APG4 operates with asymmetric supplies (e.g., +80V and −10V) or single-ended rails (e.g., +90V and GND), provided the input common-mode range ((V−)+5 V to (V+)−5 V) and output swing limits are respected. Input protection resistors are mandatory if inputs exceed supply rails, as FET gate isolation diodes may forward-bias and cause latch-up or damage.
How does the offset trim function work on the OPA445APG4?
The OPA445APG4 provides dedicated offset trim pins (1 and 5) that accept a 100 kΩ potentiometer wired between V+ and V−, with the wiper connected to pin 1. Adjusting this potentiometer nulls the amplifier's internal input offset voltage-±1.5 mV max-without affecting system-level offsets or drift performance. TI explicitly warns against using this for system calibration, as it degrades long-term stability.
What thermal management is required for continuous 15 mA output at ±40V?
At ±40V supply and ±15 mA load, OPA445APG4 dissipates ~1.2 W. In its SO-8 package (θJA = 150°C/W), ambient must stay below 48°C to keep junction ≤125°C. TI recommends using ≥4.8 mm × 3.8 mm copper pour with five 13-mil vias under the thermal pad (even though OPA445APG4 lacks PowerPAD), or switching to OPA445ADDA for θJA = 52°C/W with proper PCB layout.
