Product details
Overview
OPA452TA-1 from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage, high-current operational amplifier in a 7-lead TO-220 (TA-1) stagger-formed package with electrically connected tab tied to V–. It delivers ±50mA continuous output current, supports ±10V to ±40V supply rails (80V total), and provides rail-to-rail output swing within 4V of rails at full load. It is unity-gain stable with 1.8MHz gain-bandwidth product and integrated thermal shutdown and output current limiting-used in piezoelectric drivers and servo amplifiers requiring robust high-power analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the OPA452TA-1 datasheet, OPA452TA-1 pinout, OPA452TA-1 application, or OPA452TA-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated TO-220-7 stagger-formed pin mapping, confirmed thermal flag behavior, and real-world design context for transducer and test-equipment implementations.
Technical Context
The OPA452TA-1 implements a fully protected monolithic bipolar input stage with laser-trimmed offset voltage (±3mV max at +25°C) and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its internal current-limiting circuit restricts output to ~125mA short-circuit current while maintaining 50mA continuous drive capability under thermal regulation.
Thermal shutdown activates at +160°C junction temperature and resets at +145°C, with status reported via the Flag pin (0.1–1.0µA normal, 100–165µA during shutdown). The device is specified over the full ±10V to ±40V supply range, with guaranteed performance including open-loop gain ≥105dB and CMRR ≥86dB at ±40V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The OPA452TA-1 uses a 7-lead TO-220 (TA-1) stagger-formed package with electrically connected metal tab tied to V–. Mounting the tab to a copper pour improves thermal resistance (θJC = 3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unused; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk. |
| 2 (V–) | Negative supply rail | Primary return path for bias and output current; tab is electrically bonded to this pin. |
| 3 (VO) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±50mA continuous drive into resistive or capacitive loads; requires external bypassing per layout guidelines. |
| 4 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts up to +40V; must be decoupled with ≥0.1µF capacitor near pin to suppress supply noise. |
| 5 (VIN–) | Inverting input | Differential input node with 10¹³Ω || 6pF common-mode impedance; clamped to rails with diodes (max ±0.5V overvoltage). |
| 6 (VIN+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance input with ±100pA bias current; used for reference sensing or feedback configuration. |
| 7 (Flag) | Thermal shutdown indicator | Open-collector current source; sinks 100–165µA when junction exceeds +160°C-enables fault detection without additional sensors. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA452TA | Same die, identical electrical specs, but packaged in standard straight-formed TO-220 (KC drawing) instead of stagger-formed TA-1 (KVT). | Requires different PCB footprint and heatsink alignment; no functional difference in circuit performance. | Select OPA452TA if board layout uses conventional TO-220 mounting or existing tooling supports KC package. |
| OPA453TA-1 | Same package (KVT), but optimized for G ≥ 5 (7.5MHz GBW, +23/–38V/µs slew); not unity-gain stable without external compensation. | Better suited for fixed-gain instrumentation or high-speed signal chains where gain >5 is required. | Choose OPA453TA-1 only when gain ≥5 is guaranteed and higher bandwidth/slew rate justify loss of unity-gain simplicity. |
Compared with OPA452TA-1, OPA452TA offers identical performance in a mechanically distinct TO-220 variant, while OPA453TA-1 trades unity-gain stability for higher speed-making OPA452TA-1 the optimal choice for general-purpose high-current, unity-gain, or variable-gain analog output stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the OPA452TA-1?
The OPA452TA-1 delivers ±50mA continuous output current into resistive loads at full rated supply voltage (±40V). Short-circuit current is ±125mA, but sustained operation at that level triggers thermal shutdown. Derating is required above +85°C ambient due to reduced thermal margin-consult SOA curves in the datasheet for safe operating boundaries at elevated temperatures. The OPA452TA-1 maintains this rating across its full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
How does the Flag pin on the OPA452TA-1 function during thermal shutdown?
The Flag pin on the OPA452TA-1 is an open-collector current source that outputs 0.1–1.0µA during normal operation and increases to 100–165µA when junction temperature reaches +160°C, indicating thermal shutdown activation. This current can be converted to a logic-level signal using a simple pull-up resistor (e.g., 39kΩ to +5V for HCT logic). The OPA452TA-1 resumes normal operation automatically once junction temperature falls to +145°C, and Flag current returns to baseline-enabling real-time system health monitoring without external sensors.
Can the OPA452TA-1 operate from an asymmetric power supply, such as +70V and –10V?
Yes, the OPA452TA-1 supports asymmetric supplies with total voltage up to 80V (e.g., +70V/–10V). Its specifications-including input common-mode range, output swing, and quiescent current-are guaranteed across ±10V to ±40V, and it functions reliably with unequal rails as long as the differential supply remains within absolute maximum ratings. However, output swing becomes asymmetrical: VO will swing to (V–)+4V and (V+)–4V, so in a +70V/–10V setup, usable range is –6V to +66V. Thermal design must account for increased dissipation on the more heavily loaded output transistor.
What is the purpose of the NC (pin 1) on the OPA452TA-1, and should it be connected?
Pin 1 of the OPA452TA-1 is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. It must remain floating-neither tied to ground nor to any supply rail-as connection could introduce parasitic coupling, degrade PSRR, or cause unpredictable latch-up behavior. The OPA452TA-1 datasheet explicitly states this terminal has no internal function. PCB layout should isolate this pad from traces and pours; solder mask coverage is recommended to prevent accidental bridging during assembly.
Is the OPA452TA-1 unity-gain stable, and how does it compare to the OPA453TA-1 in this regard?
Yes, the OPA452TA-1 is unity-gain stable and requires no external compensation for G = 1 configurations. In contrast, the OPA453TA-1 is optimized for gains ≥5 and becomes unstable at unity gain unless externally compensated (e.g., using the CS/CF network described in TI Application Report SBOA015). This makes the OPA452TA-1 the preferred choice for voltage followers, non-inverting buffers, and variable-gain stages where low-gain operation is needed-while the OPA453TA-1 suits fixed high-gain, high-bandwidth signal chains where stability margins allow tighter compensation.
