Product details
Overview
OPA632U from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, high-speed, voltage-feedback operational amplifier with integrated disable functionality, designed for single-supply operation from +3V to +10V. It delivers 75MHz small-signal bandwidth at G = +2, 100V/µs slew rate, and 4.8V output swing on +5V supply-enabling precision ADC input buffering and video line driving in portable consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the OPA632U datasheet, OPA632U pinout, OPA632U application, or OPA632U equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SO-8 package layout, disable timing behavior (60ns enable / 100ns disable), thermal resistance (125°C/W), and real-world alternatives for low-power, single-supply signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The OPA632U uses complementary common-emitter output stage architecture to achieve rail-to-rail output swing (within 30mV of ground and 130mV of +VS) while maintaining unity-gain stability. Its internal disable circuit reduces quiescent current to zero when DIS pin is driven HIGH, enabling dynamic power management in battery-powered systems.
It supports DC-coupled configurations with input range extending below ground and to within 1V of the positive supply. Gain bandwidth product remains stable across supply voltages (+3V to +10V), with only minor reduction in bandwidth at lower supplies due to constant quiescent current biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +2) | 75 MHz at +5V supply - enables high-fidelity video and ADC interface up to 20Msps sampling rates |
| Slew Rate | 100 V/µs - supports fast transient response for pulse and imaging applications without distortion |
| Input Voltage Noise | 6.0 nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in wide-dynamic-range signal chains such as CCD imaging channels |
| Output Swing (RL = 1kΩ, +5V) | 0.03V to 4.87V - delivers >4.8V p-p output usable for 10-bit ADC drivers like ADS901 |
| Disable Quiescent Current | 0 µA typical - eliminates static power draw during system sleep modes |
| Enable/Disable Time | 60 ns / 100 ns - allows sub-100ns power-state transitions for time-critical sensor or data-acquisition sequencing |
| Supply Range | +3V to +10V - supports both low-voltage portable and industrial +5V/+10V systems without redesign |
Pinout & Package
OPA632U is housed in an industry-standard SO-8 surface-mount package (Package Drawing 182), with thermal resistance θJA = 125°C/W. Pin 1 is NC; Pin 2 is Inverting Input; Pin 3 is Non-Inverting Input; Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 is DIS (disable control); Pin 6 is +VS; Pin 7 is Output; Pin 8 is NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, Pin 8 | No Connect | Unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| Pin 2 | Inverting Input | Differential input node; requires matched impedance to Pin 3 for optimal CMRR |
| Pin 3 | Non-Inverting Input | DC-biased via 1.5kΩ resistors in typical level-shift circuits; accepts signals down to –0.5V |
| Pin 4 | GND | Power and signal reference plane; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| Pin 5 | DIS | Active-HIGH disable control; logic HIGH (>3.7V on +5V supply) forces output high-Z and quiescent current to zero |
| Pin 6 | +VS | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) required adjacent to pin |
| Pin 7 | Output | Complementary emitter-follower output; drives 150Ω loads to within 130mV of +VS and 30mV of GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-power disable | Quiescent current drops to 0 µA when DIS pin is HIGH - enables true power gating in battery-operated devices |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Output reaches within 30 mV of GND and 130 mV of +VS - maximizes dynamic range on single +3V/+5V supplies |
| Input range includes ground | Accepts inputs down to –0.5 V - eliminates need for external level-shifting in DC-coupled sensor interfaces |
| Low distortion at reduced swing | Harmonic distortion improves as output amplitude decreases - ideal for variable-gain video and ultrasound front ends |
| Stable on +3V supply | Maintains 61 MHz bandwidth and 95 V/µs slew rate at +3V - supports modern ultra-low-voltage portable systems |
Applications
| Single-Supply ADC Input Buffers | Single-Supply Video Line Drivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, single-supply op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA632N | SOT23-6 package (θJA = 150°C/W), same electrical specs; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs where thermal margin allows | Select OPA632N only if board area is critical and ambient temperature stays ≤60°C |
| OPA634U | Higher full-power bandwidth (120MHz), no disable function, 7.5mA quiescent current vs 6mA | Preferred for fixed-power, highest-fidelity video or RF IF stages where disable is unnecessary | Choose OPA634U when bandwidth >90MHz is required and power gating is not needed |
Compared with OPA632N and OPA634U, the OPA632U uniquely balances SO-8 manufacturability, 125°C/W thermal performance, and zero-power disable-making it optimal for production-ready, thermally robust, battery-aware designs requiring rapid power-state transitions.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the OPA632U?
The OPA632U supports a maximum operating voltage of +10.5V DC, with absolute maximum rating at +11V. Operation at +10V is fully characterized and guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C, delivering 6.9mA max quiescent current and 34MHz bandwidth at G = +10. Exceeding +10.5V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the OPA632U require external compensation for stability?
No, the OPA632U is unity-gain stable and internally compensated for resistive loads up to 150Ω. It exhibits a slightly peaked response at G = +2 (typical 5dB peaking), which is intentional to maximize bandwidth. For flat response at low gains, add RC compensation (e.g., 40.2Ω in series with feedback) as shown in Figure 4 of SBOS066A.
How does the DIS pin behave during power-up?
The DIS pin of the OPA632U is active-HIGH and defaults to disabled (HIGH) only if externally pulled up; it has no internal pull-up. During power-up, the device powers on enabled (output active) unless the DIS net is actively held HIGH by system logic. Enable time is 60ns, so output becomes valid within 60ns after DIS transitions LOW.
Can the OPA632U drive capacitive loads directly?
The OPA632U can drive up to 100pF capacitive load stably without series resistance. For larger loads (e.g., 1000pF), a series resistor (RS ≈ 2.5Ω at +5V) between output and load restores phase margin, as documented in Figure 8 of SBOS066A. This RS value scales with supply voltage and must be verified per actual layout parasitics.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for the OPA632U at +3V supply?
At +3V supply, the OPA632U input common-mode voltage range is specified from –0.5V to +1.3V (min), allowing signals to extend 0.5V below ground and up to 1.7V below +VS. This enables direct interfacing with bipolar sensors or AC-coupled sources without level-shifting circuitry in many portable applications.
