Product details
Overview
OPA659IDRBT from Texas Instruments is a unity-gain stable, wideband JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for high-impedance, low-noise transimpedance and buffer applications. It delivers 650 MHz small-signal bandwidth (G = 1 V/V), 2550 V/μs slew rate, and 8.9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise - enabling precision photodiode amplification in wafer inspection and optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA659IDRBT datasheet, OPA659IDRBT pinout, OPA659IDRBT application, or OPA659IDRBT equivalent, key selection criteria include its unity-gain stability with JFET input, ultra-low input bias current (±10 pA), fast overdrive recovery (8 ns), and compatibility with ±3.5 V to ±6.5 V split supplies or 7–13 V single supply.
Technical Context
The OPA659IDRBT uses a voltage-feedback architecture with a compensated JFET input stage, achieving unity-gain stability without external compensation. Its 350 MHz gain-bandwidth product supports broadband transimpedance configurations up to 100 MHz with photodiode capacitances ≤47 pF, while maintaining <12% pulse overshoot and 8 ns settling to 1% on a 4-V step.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with ±6 V nominal supply, delivering ±70 mA output drive into 100 Ω and supporting rail-to-rail input common-mode range (±3.37 V). Input impedance exceeds 1 TΩ differential and 2.5 TΩ common-mode, critical for high-Z sensor interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 650 MHz at G = 1 V/V - enables full-speed signal acquisition in oscilloscope front-ends and TOF sensing |
| Slew Rate | 2550 V/μs - preserves fidelity of fast transient pulses without distortion in photodiode TIA stages |
| Input Voltage Noise | 8.9 nV/√Hz - minimizes integrated noise in wideband transimpedance applications up to 100 MHz |
| Input Bias Current | ±10 pA (typ) - ensures minimal DC error when interfacing with high-impedance photodiodes or piezoelectric sensors |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 350 MHz - defines maximum usable closed-loop bandwidth for noninverting gains >1 (e.g., 70 MHz at G = 5) |
| THD @ 10 MHz | –78 dBc (2nd harmonic) - meets spectral purity requirements in optical receiver analog front-ends |
| Overdrive Recovery | 8 ns - restores linear operation rapidly after saturation, critical in pulsed OTDR and LIDAR receivers |
Pinout & Package
The OPA659IDRBT is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with dimensions 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm and exposed pad thermal design. Pin 1 is NC (no connection); pins 2–5 are assigned as –VS, VIN+, VOUT, and +VS respectively.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (NC) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice |
| Pin 2 (–VS) | Negative Power Supply | Accepts –3.5 V to –6.5 V in split-supply mode; serves as reference for input/output common-mode range |
| Pin 3 (VIN+) | Noninverting Input | High-impedance JFET node (1 TΩ || 1 pF); used for buffered high-Z source connections |
| Pin 4 (VOUT) | Amplifier Output | Capable of ±70 mA drive into 100 Ω; requires 50 Ω series termination for 50 Ω system matching |
| Pin 5 (+VS) | Positive Power Supply | Accepts +3.5 V to +6.5 V in split-supply mode; powers internal bias circuitry and output stage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Stability | Internally compensated for stable operation at G = 1 V/V without external components - eliminates risk of oscillation in buffer configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed JFET-input op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA656IDBVT | Lower bandwidth (230 MHz), lower quiescent current (290 mA vs 32 mA), same JFET input and unity-gain stability | Better suited for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs where 650 MHz is unnecessary | Select OPA656IDBVT when power efficiency outweighs bandwidth requirement and photodiode capacitance is <10 pF |
| OPA657U | Higher bandwidth (1.6 GHz), higher slew rate (700 V/μs), but only stable at G ≥ +7 V/V - not unity-gain stable | Requires minimum gain of 7; unsuitable for direct buffer or low-gain TIA configurations | Choose OPA657U only when closed-loop gain ≥7 is acceptable and >1 GHz small-signal response is required |
Compared with OPA656IDBVT and OPA657U, the OPA659IDRBT uniquely balances 650 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, ultra-low input current, and robust transimpedance stability - making it the only option among the three suitable for G = 1 photodiode TIAs with >22 pF junction capacitance.

FAQ
What is the recommended supply voltage range for OPA659IDRBT?
The OPA659IDRBT supports split-supply operation from ±3.5 V to ±6.5 V and single-supply operation from 7 V to 13 V. At ±6 V, it achieves full specified performance including 650 MHz bandwidth and 2550 V/μs slew rate. Operation outside these ranges may degrade AC performance or cause instability.
Can OPA659IDRBT be used in transimpedance amplifier configurations?
Yes, the OPA659IDRBT is explicitly optimized for transimpedance amplifier use. Its 350 MHz gain-bandwidth product, low input bias current (±10 pA), and 8.9 nV/√Hz voltage noise enable stable, wideband TIAs with photodiode capacitances up to 47 pF - validated in Figures 28–31 of the SBOS342C datasheet.
Does OPA659IDRBT require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA659IDRBT is internally compensated and unity-gain stable. It does not require external compensation components in G = 1 V/V configurations. However, for capacitive loads >10 pF, a series isolation resistor (RISO) between output and load is recommended per Figure 24 in the datasheet.
What is the thermal performance of OPA659IDRBT in the SOT-23 package?
In the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, the OPA659IDRBT has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 209 °C/W. With typical quiescent current of 32 mA at ±6 V, power dissipation is ~384 mW - resulting in ~80 °C junction rise above ambient at TA = 25 °C, well within the 125 °C continuous reliability limit.
How does OPA659IDRBT handle input overdrive conditions?
The OPA659IDRBT recovers from overdrive in 8 ns (typical) when configured with G = ±2 V/V, as shown in Figures 20–21. Internal ESD diodes clamp inputs to the rails, and the device tolerates continuous input currents up to 30 mA - but external series resistors are recommended if driving from ±12 V sources to avoid exceeding absolute max ratings.
