Product details
Overview
OPA4684IPWT from Texas Instruments is a quad, low-power, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for wideband video and signal conditioning applications. It delivers 170MHz bandwidth at G = +2, 120mA output drive, < –78dBc harmonic distortion at 5MHz, and operates from ±2.5V to ±6V or +2.8V to +12V supplies - enabling use in broadcast video drivers, ADC input stages, and multichannel summing amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4684IPWT datasheet, OPA4684IPWT pinout, OPA4684IPWT application, or OPA4684IPWT equivalent, key selection criteria include its CFBPLUS architecture with linearized inverting-input impedance, minimal bandwidth variation across gain (G = +1 to +20), single-supply 5V operation with 3VPP output swing into 100Ω, and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA4684IPWT implements a patented CFBPLUS architecture featuring an internally closed-loop input buffer stage that linearizes inverting-input impedance (~5Ω), decoupling bandwidth and distortion performance from gain-setting resistor variations. This enables stable 0.1dB gain flatness up to 19MHz at G = +2 and supports frequency-peaking elements without bandwidth collapse.
Its transimpedance gain (ZOL) is 355kΩ min at 25°C, with open-loop phase margin preserved to >100MHz. The amplifier maintains >110MHz small-signal bandwidth on +5V supply (RF = 1.3kΩ) and achieves 780V/µs slew rate in dual-supply mode - critical for fast-pulse video and high-fidelity analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (G = +2) | 170MHz typical (±5V); enables NTSC/PAL video signal amplification without gain-dependent roll-off |

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 CFBPLUS architecture, same 170MHz BW and 120mA drive, but only two channels in SO-8 | Suitable when board space permits SO-8 and only two channels needed; lacks quad integration for space-critical designs | Select OPA2684IDR if reducing channel count simplifies layout or lowers BOM cost without sacrificing per-channel performance. |
| OPA691U | Higher slew rate (1800V/µs), 500MHz BW, but 6.5mA/ch quiescent current - 3.8× higher power than OPA4684IPWT | Used in ultra-high-speed test equipment where bandwidth >300MHz is mandatory; not viable for battery or thermally limited systems | Choose OPA691U only when absolute bandwidth and slew rate outweigh power and thermal constraints. |
Compared with OPA2684IDR and OPA691U, the OPA4684IPWT uniquely balances quad-channel density, 170MHz bandwidth, and 1.7mA/ch power - making it optimal for multichannel video distribution, portable instrumentation, and power-sensitive high-fidelity analog signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for OPA4684IPWT?
The OPA4684IPWT supports a maximum dual-supply voltage of ±6V and a maximum single-supply voltage of +12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify ±6.5VDC on power pins; exceeding these risks permanent damage. Operation at ±6V or +12V is fully characterized and supported across the –40°C to +85°C temperature range, with bandwidth and output drive remaining within datasheet limits.
Does OPA4684IPWT support true single-supply operation with rail-to-rail input and output?
The OPA4684IPWT supports single-supply operation from +2.8V to +12V but does not feature rail-to-rail input or output. Its input common-mode range extends from 1.25V to 3.75V on +5V supply (i.e., 1.25V above V– and 1.25V below V+), and output swings from 0.9V to 4.1V into 1kΩ. These headroom requirements are explicitly specified and validated in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics tables.
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for OPA4684IPWT at G = +2 in dual-supply mode?
The datasheet specifies RF = 800Ω as the recommended feedback resistor for G = +2 operation with ±5V supplies. This value optimizes bandwidth flatness (19MHz 0.1dB gain flatness), minimizes peaking (<6.3dB), and maintains stability across temperature. Using RF values significantly outside 800Ω ±10% degrades bandwidth predictability and may increase distortion - confirmed by Figure 1 and AC performance tables.
How does OPA4684IPWT achieve low distortion at high frequencies?
The OPA4684IPWT achieves <–78dBc 2nd/3rd harmonic distortion at 5MHz through its CFBPLUS architecture: the closed-loop input buffer linearizes inverting-input impedance, reducing distortion caused by nonlinear feedback current sensing. This is verified by measured distortion vs. frequency plots (Figure 6) and load-resistance curves showing –84dBc at RL ≥ 1kΩ - directly attributable to the buffered input stage design.
Is OPA4684IPWT pin-compatible with other TI quad CFB amplifiers like OPA4658?
No, OPA4684IPWT is not pin-compatible with OPA4658. While both are quad CFB amplifiers in TSSOP-14 packages, their pinouts differ: OPA4684IPWT assigns pins 1/5/9/13 to +inputs and 2/6/10/14 to –inputs, whereas OPA4658 uses a different channel mapping and power pin arrangement. PCB redesign is required for substitution - confirmed by comparing SBOS240G (OPA4684) and SBOS229 (OPA4658) datasheet pin diagrams.
