Product details
Overview
OPA651UB from Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) is a low-power, wideband voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for G = +2 stability. It delivers 470MHz closed-loop bandwidth, 16.2ns 0.01% settling time, and 4.6nV/√Hz input voltage noise, serving as a high-fidelity gain stage in video signal chains and ADC/DAC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the OPA651UB datasheet, OPA651UB pinout, OPA651UB application, or OPA651UB equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SO-8), confirmed differential input architecture, true G ≥ 2 compensation, measured harmonic distortion (–78dB at 5MHz), and validated thermal resistance (125°C/W).
Technical Context
The OPA651UB uses a fully symmetrical, true differential input stage to minimize offset errors and support precision filter and instrumentation designs. Its internal 1.5pF feedback capacitor ensures flat 470MHz response at G = +2 with ~60° phase margin.
It is not unity-gain stable-unlike the OPA650-and requires minimum noise gain of 2. Its output stage drives 75Ω and 100Ω loads directly, delivering ±2.3V into 100Ω while maintaining low closed-loop output impedance (<0.05Ω at 100kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Closed-Loop Bandwidth | 470MHz at G = +2 - enables baseband video and ultrasound signal processing without external equalization |
| Settling Time | 16.2ns to 0.01% - supports >60MSPS ADC driving with minimal acquisition error |
| Input Voltage Noise | 4.6nV/√Hz at 10kHz - preserves SNR in CCD imaging and medical front-ends |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.01%/0.025° at NTSC - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements |
| Supply Current | ±6.5mA at ±5V - enables multi-channel portable instrumentation with <50mW total power |
| Slew Rate | 300V/µs - handles fast transient signals in ultrasonic pulse-echo systems |
| Input Bias Current | 4µA typical - compatible with high-impedance sensor interfaces when paired with matched source impedances |
Pinout & Package
OPA651UB is housed in an SO-8 surface-mount package (θJA = 125°C/W), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 8 is marked "B" to denote B-grade temperature performance (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +Input (non-inverting) | High-impedance differential input node; requires matched source impedance to minimize bias current error |
| 2 | –Input (inverting) | Feedback node; sensitive to parasitic capacitance-place feedback resistor within 0.1" of pin |
| 3 | Output | Capable of sourcing 110mA/sinking 85mA; drive 75Ω coax directly with RISO = 15–30Ω for >10pF loads |
| 4 | –VS | Negative supply rail; decouple with 0.1µF ceramic + 2.2µF tantalum placed ≤0.25" from pin |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 7 | NC | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 8 | +VS | Positive supply rail; decouple identically to –VS; maximum total supply = 11V (±5.5V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA651U | Same SO-8 package and electrical specs; no "B" grade marking; identical θJA = 125°C/W | Same video, imaging, and data conversion use cases; no differentiation in thermal or AC performance | Select OPA651U if B-grade traceability is not required for qualification or lot control. |
| OPA658ID | Current-feedback architecture; 1.5GHz GBW; 1200V/µs slew rate; requires different feedback topology | Better suited for >1GSPS sampling systems and RF IF gain blocks where voltage feedback limits speed | Choose OPA658ID only when G = +2 stability is not mandatory and layout can accommodate CFB compensation. |
Compared with OPA651U, the OPA651UB offers identical performance but includes B-grade traceability for temperature-range compliance verification; compared with OPA658ID, it trades raw speed for simpler design, lower distortion at video frequencies, and guaranteed G ≥ 2 stability without loop compensation redesign.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for the OPA651UB?
The OPA651UB is internally compensated for minimum noise gain of +2V/V and is not unity-gain stable. Attempting G = +1 operation may cause peaking or oscillation. For gains below +2, external compensation or a different amplifier such as the OPA650 is required. The OPA651UB's 1.5pF internal capacitor is tuned for optimal flatness specifically at G = +2 with 402Ω feedback.
Can the OPA651UB drive a 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes-the OPA651UB is characterized to drive 75Ω resistive loads and can directly drive properly terminated 75Ω coax (e.g., RG-58) without external buffering. For best stability, use series isolation resistance (RISO = 15–30Ω) when capacitive loading exceeds 10pF, as commonly found at cable connectors or A/D inputs. The OPA651UB's low output impedance (<0.05Ω at 100kHz) ensures minimal signal reflection under matched conditions.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA651UB package?
OPA651UB uses the SO-8 surface-mount package with a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 125°C/W under standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. This value assumes proper PCB copper pour and decoupling; actual θJA improves with enhanced thermal vias and ground plane area. The OPA651UB's max junction temperature is +175°C, limiting continuous power dissipation to ~158mW at +85°C ambient.
Does the OPA651UB have pins 5–7 connected internally?
No-pins 5, 6, and 7 of the OPA651UB SO-8 package are No Connect (NC) terminals with no internal connection. They must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing traces or applying solder to these pins risks parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. The functional pinout consists solely of pins 1 (+Input), 2 (–Input), 3 (Output), 4 (–VS), and 8 (+VS).
How does the OPA651UB's differential gain/phase performance compare to video-specific amplifiers?
The OPA651UB achieves 0.01% differential gain error and 0.025° differential phase error at NTSC subcarrier (3.58MHz), matching or exceeding legacy video op-amps like the THS3091. This performance stems from its true differential input stage and low distortion (–78dB at 5MHz), making it suitable for broadcast-quality RGB distribution, medical endoscopy video, and digital cinema signal conditioning-without requiring dedicated video ICs.
