Product details
Overview
OPA445AU/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage, FET-input operational amplifier in SOIC-8 package, rated for ±10V to ±45V supply operation, 15V/µs slew rate, 10pA input bias current, and ±15mA output drive. It serves as a precision high-output-voltage signal conditioner in test equipment, piezo drivers, and high-voltage regulators where wide common-mode swing and low input loading are critical.
For engineers reviewing the OPA445AU/2K5 datasheet, OPA445AU/2K5 pinout, OPA445AU/2K5 application, or OPA445AU/2K5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its ±45V max supply rating, SOIC-8 thermal limitations (θJA = 150°C/W), offset trim capability, capacitive load stability behavior, and compatibility with high-impedance feedback networks.
Technical Context
The OPA445AU/2K5 uses JFET-input circuitry to achieve 10pA typical input bias current and >1013 Ω differential input impedance, enabling use with multi-megaohm feedback resistors without significant error. Its laser-trimmed input stage delivers ±1.5mV max input offset voltage over −25°C to +85°C and ±10µV/°C drift.
It features internal compensation optimized for unity-gain stability with resistive loads, but requires external RC isolation (e.g., 20Ω + 0.22µF) when driving >100pF capacitive loads. The device operates across −55°C to +125°C, with full electrical specifications guaranteed from −25°C to +85°C at ±40V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±10V to ±45V - supports single-rail or asymmetric rails up to 90V total, enabling direct interface with high-voltage transducers and power stages. |
| Slew Rate | 15 V/µs - ensures ≤70kHz full-power bandwidth at 70VPP output, suitable for fast transient response in piezo actuation and audio power amplification. |
| Input Bias Current | 10 pA (typ) - permits use of >10MΩ feedback networks without measurable DC error, critical for precision integrators and sensor front-ends. |
| Output Current | ±15 mA - drives 2.67kΩ minimum load at ±35V swing; sufficient for medium-power buffer stages without external boost. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5 mV (max, −25°C to +85°C) - enables sub-0.1% gain accuracy in closed-loop configurations with <100kΩ feedback. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 2 MHz - defines usable small-signal bandwidth at G ≥ 10; trade-off between speed and stability in high-gain, high-voltage applications. |
| Common-Mode Range | (V−) + 5V to (V+) − 5V - allows input signals within 5V of either rail, supporting rail-to-rail sensing in high-side current monitors. |
Pinout & Package
OPA445AU/2K5 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) surface-mount package with standard op-amp pinout and exposed pad not connected internally (non-PowerPAD variant). Thermal resistance is θJA = 150°C/W under JEDEC-standard board conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Trim (−) | Connects to wiper of 100kΩ potentiometer for manual nulling of input offset voltage; must be used only for op-amp offset correction. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (−In) | Differential input node with 1014 Ω || 3pF common-mode impedance; sensitive to ESD and overvoltage beyond supply rails. |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input (+In) | Differential input node; same high-impedance characteristics as Pin 2; requires symmetric layout to minimize CMRR degradation. |
| 4 | V− (Negative Supply) | Primary negative power rail connection; case (TO-99) and thermal pad (PowerPAD variants) connect to this pin, but SOIC-8 (OPA445AU/2K5) has no internal connection. |
| 5 | Offset Trim (+) | Second terminal of offset trim potentiometer; forms balanced bridge with Pin 1 to adjust input stage quiescent point. |
| 6 | Output | Class-AB output stage capable of ±15mA continuous sourcing/sinking; exhibits 220Ω open-loop output resistance. |
| 7 | V+ (Positive Supply) | Primary positive power rail connection; bypassing with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin is mandatory for stability. |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection - may be left floating or tied to V+, V−, or ground per layout requirements; no functional impact. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-input architecture | Enables 10pA input bias current and >100dB CMRR, preserving accuracy in high-Z sensor interfaces and precision integrators. |
| Laser-trimmed input stage | Delivers ±1.5mV max input offset voltage and ±10µV/°C drift over −25°C to +85°C, reducing calibration burden in production systems. |
| Offset voltage trim pins (1 & 5) | Allow post-mounting nulling of op-amp intrinsic offset without affecting system-level drift performance or requiring external DACs. |
| Wide supply range (±10V to ±45V) | Eliminates need for external level-shifting or charge-pump rails in high-voltage test fixtures and industrial analog I/O modules. |
| Stable with capacitive loads ≥100pF | Supports direct driving of piezoelectric transducers and long cables when combined with recommended RC isolation network (20Ω + 0.22µF). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA454IDDA | Higher supply range (±50V), lower input bias (3pA), but no offset trim pins and SO-8 PowerPAD only. | Better for ultra-high-Z pH sensors and MEMS biasing; unsuitable where manual offset nulling is required. | Select OPA454IDDA if maximum supply margin and lowest bias current outweigh need for trim capability. |
| LM675T | Higher output current (±3A), wider temp range (−40°C to +85°C), but lower slew rate (9V/µs) and higher input bias (250nA). | Preferred for high-current linear regulators and motor drive buffers; less suitable for precision low-drift signal chains. | Choose LM675T when output drive >100mA is mandatory and offset drift <10µV/°C is not required. |
Compared with OPA445AU/2K5, OPA454IDDA offers superior voltage headroom and input impedance but lacks offset trim; LM675T provides massive output current at the cost of precision and speed-making OPA445AU/2K5 the optimal balance for high-voltage, high-fidelity analog conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the OPA445AU/2K5?
The OPA445AU/2K5 supports a maximum supply voltage of ±45V (90V total), with absolute maximum ratings at ±50V. Operation at ±45V is fully specified across −55°C to +125°C ambient, and the device maintains 15V/µs slew rate and ±15mA output drive at this rail. Exceeding ±45V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and is not recommended for continuous use.
Does the OPA445AU/2K5 have built-in offset voltage trim capability?
Yes, the OPA445AU/2K5 provides dedicated offset trim pins (Pins 1 and 5) compatible with a 100kΩ potentiometer to null input offset voltage. This feature is retained in the SOIC-8 package variant and functions identically to TO-99 and DIP versions. The trim adjusts only the op-amp's intrinsic offset-not system-level errors-and preserves low drift performance when implemented per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Can the OPA445AU/2K5 drive capacitive loads directly?
The OPA445AU/2K5 is not unconditionally stable into pure capacitive loads. For loads >100pF, external compensation is required: a 20Ω resistor in series with a 0.22µF capacitor placed between output and inverting input (per Figure 3). Without this network, phase margin degrades, causing peaking or oscillation-especially at gains ≤10. Resistive loads up to 2.67kΩ are stable without modification.
What is the thermal performance difference between OPA445AU/2K5 and OPA445ADDA?
The OPA445AU/2K5 (SOIC-8) has θJA = 150°C/W, while the OPA445ADDA (SO-8 PowerPAD) achieves θJA = 52°C/W with a 1in × 0.5in heat-spreader. This means the OPA445AU/2K5 reaches thermal limit ~2.9× faster under identical power dissipation. For >300mW continuous dissipation, OPA445ADDA is strongly preferred; OPA445AU/2K5 requires careful derating or forced airflow.
Is the OPA445AU/2K5 pin-compatible with other OPA445 variants?
Yes, all OPA445 variants-including OPA445AU/2K5 (SOIC-8), OPA445AP (DIP-8), OPA445BM (TO-99), and OPA445ADDA (SO-8 PowerPAD)-share identical pinout and electrical functionality. The SOIC-8 and PowerPAD packages are physically pin-compatible, though soldering the PowerPAD thermal pad is mandatory for thermal performance. No PCB redesign is needed when substituting OPA445AU/2K5 for other variants in existing layouts.
