Product details
Overview
OPA4684IDG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad, low-power, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for wideband video and high-speed signal conditioning. It delivers 170MHz bandwidth at G = +2, < –78dBc harmonic distortion at 5MHz, 120mA output current, and operates from ±2.5V to ±6V or single +5V to +12V supplies. It is used in broadcast video drivers, ADC input interfaces, and multichannel summing amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4684IDG4 datasheet, OPA4684IDG4 pinout, OPA4684IDG4 application, or OPA4684IDG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bandwidth stability across gain, low distortion at 5MHz, output drive into 50Ω, single-supply operation headroom, and channel crosstalk performance in multichannel systems.
Technical Context
The OPA4684IDG4 implements CFBPLUS architecture with an internally closed-loop input buffer stage that linearizes inverting-input impedance, enabling near-constant bandwidth from G = +1 to G = +20. This eliminates traditional CFB gain-bandwidth tradeoffs while retaining low 1.7mA/ch quiescent current.
Its transimpedance gain (ZOL) is 355kΩ min at 25°C, and its inverting input resistance is 4.0Ω typ-critical for stable feedback network design. Output swing reaches ±4.1V on ±5V supplies with ≤1.2V input/output headroom, supporting robust single +5V operation with 3VPP output into 100Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (G = +2) | 170MHz min - enables NTSC/PAL video signal amplification without gain-dependent roll-off |
| Harmonic Distortion (5MHz) | < –78dBc (2nd/3rd) at RL ≥ 1kΩ - preserves signal fidelity in broadcast-grade analog video paths |
| Output Current | ±120mA min sourcing/sinking - drives doubly terminated 50Ω cables or multiple 150Ω video loads |
| Supply Range | ±2.5V to ±6V or +2.8V to +12V - supports legacy bipolar and modern single-rail industrial/video systems |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7mA per channel max at ±5V - enables 4-channel wideband amplification under 7mA total supply draw |
| Input Voltage Noise | 3.7nV/√Hz typ above 1MHz - minimizes noise contribution in high-gain post-amplifier stages |
| Crosstalk (5MHz) | –52dB typ (input-referred, 3 channels driven) - ensures channel isolation in multichannel summing or differential I/O |
Pinout & Package
OPA4684IDG4 is packaged in SO-14 (D package), with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are identical across all four channels and follow standard quad op amp layout with independent inputs/outputs per channel and shared power rails.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9, 13 | +Input A/B/C/D | Noninverting input per channel; 50kΩ || 1pF typical impedance - sets common-mode range and bias current path |
| 2, 6, 10, 12 | –Input A/B/C/D | Inverting input per channel; 4.0Ω typical resistance - defines feedback node impedance critical for CFB stability |
| 3, 7, 11, 14 | Output A/B/C/D | Class-AB output stage; ±120mA drive capability - supports direct connection to 50Ω/75Ω transmission lines |
| 4 | +V | Positive supply rail for all channels; accepts up to +6V (dual) or +12V (single) - powers internal bias networks |
| 8 | –V | Negative supply rail (dual mode only); accepts down to –6V - enables true bipolar signal handling with ±4.1V swing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CFBPLUS architecture | Internally buffered inverting input yields 4.0Ω linearized impedance - maintains 120MHz bandwidth even at G = +10 |
| Single-supply compatibility | Operates from +2.8V to +12V with 1.25V input headroom and 0.9V output headroom - enables compact +5V camera front-ends |
| Low distortion at high frequency | < –78dBc 2nd/3rd harmonic at 5MHz into 1kΩ - meets SMPTE 259M differential gain/phase specs (0.04%/0.02°) |
| High channel isolation | –52dB input-referred crosstalk at 5MHz (3 channels active) - prevents interference in multichannel video routing |
| Thermally robust SO-14 | θJA = 100°C/W - sustains full 120mA output current per channel without derating below +85°C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2684IDR | Dual-channel version; identical AC/DC specs per channel, same SO-8 package; 3.4mA total IQ vs 6.8mA for quad | Better suited for space-constrained dual-channel designs where full quad density isn't required | Select OPA2684IDR when board area or power budget favors two independent channels over four |
| OPA691U | Higher slew rate (1800V/µs), higher bandwidth (>500MHz), but 5.5mA/ch IQ and SO-8 package | Targeted at >100MHz RF/IF signal chains where distortion floor is secondary to speed | Choose OPA691U only when bandwidth >300MHz is mandatory and power/per-channel is not constrained |
Compared with OPA2684IDR, OPA4684IDG4 provides 2× channel count in same footprint-per-channel but draws 3.4mA more total supply current; versus OPA691U, it trades 3× bandwidth for 3.2× lower power and guaranteed video-grade distortion performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the OPA4684IDG4?
The OPA4684IDG4 is specified from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its thermal resistance θJA is 100°C/W in the SO-14 (D) package, allowing full 120mA output current per channel without derating within this range. Junction temperature must remain ≤+150°C under all operating conditions.
Can the OPA4684IDG4 operate from a single +5V supply?
Yes, the OPA4684IDG4 supports single +5V operation with verified performance: 110MHz small-signal bandwidth at G = +2, 3VPP output swing into 100Ω, and 70mA sourcing capability. Input common-mode range extends from 1.25V to 3.75V, requiring external biasing (e.g., resistive divider) for AC-coupled signals.
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for G = +2 in dual-supply configuration?
The datasheet specifies RF = 800Ω for G = +2 with ±5V supplies to achieve optimal bandwidth flatness and minimal peaking. This value is validated across temperature and process corners; deviating significantly (e.g., >±20%) degrades 0.1dB gain flatness and increases harmonic distortion at 5MHz.
How does the OPA4684IDG4 handle crosstalk between channels?
The OPA4684IDG4 achieves –52dB input-referred crosstalk at 5MHz when three channels drive 1VPP into 100Ω loads. This is enabled by substrate isolation and independent output stages in the SO-14 package. Crosstalk remains below –45dB up to 100MHz, making it suitable for simultaneous multichannel video routing.
Is the OPA4684IDG4 pin-compatible with other TI quad CFB amplifiers?
No, the OPA4684IDG4 is not pin-compatible with earlier TI quad CFB amplifiers like the OPA3691 or OPA3684. Its SO-14 pinout follows a unique channel mapping (A/B/C/D inputs/outputs distributed across pins 1–14), and its internal CFBPLUS architecture requires different external compensation than legacy parts.
