Product details
Overview
OPA684IDBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a low-power, current-feedback operational amplifier with disable control, designed for high-bandwidth video and signal conditioning applications. It delivers 120MHz bandwidth at G = +10, –78dBc 2nd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz (RL ≥ 1kΩ), ±4V output swing on ±5V supplies, and 1.7mA quiescent current - enabling broadcast video drivers and ADC input stages in space- and power-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA684IDBVRG4 datasheet, OPA684IDBVRG4 pinout, OPA684IDBVRG4 application, or OPA684IDBVRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its CFBplus architecture's gain-invariant bandwidth, 100µA shutdown current, SOT-23-6 package footprint, and dual/±5V or single/+5V supply compatibility for professional camera and equalizing filter designs.
Technical Context
The OPA684IDBVRG4 implements a patented CFBplus architecture featuring an internally closed-loop input buffer stage that linearizes inverting-input impedance, enabling stable bandwidth up to G = +20 without peaking. Its transimpedance gain of 355kΩ (min) and 2.5Ω inverting-input resistance support precise feedback control across wide gain ranges.
This architecture decouples gain-setting resistor (RG) selection from bandwidth degradation - unlike conventional CFB op amps - allowing flexible frequency response shaping, multichannel summing with minimal inter-channel crosstalk, and integration into SAW filter post-amplifier chains where harmonic distortion below –78dBc at 5MHz is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +10) | 120MHz - supports NTSC/PAL video reconstruction and >100Mbps data acquisition front-ends. |
| 2nd-Harmonic Distortion (5MHz, RL ≥ 1kΩ) | –78dBc - ensures <0.04% differential gain error in composite video line driving. |
| Output Current (Sourcing) | 160mA (min) - drives 150Ω video loads or doubly terminated 50Ω cables without clipping. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7mA (max at ±5V) - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation and multi-channel sensor interfaces. |
| Disable Current | 100µA (max) - reduces system standby power by >94% while maintaining high-impedance I/O pins. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 3.7nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in precision ADC driver stages with 16-bit+ resolution. |
| Slew Rate (G = +2) | 750V/µs (min) - supports fast transient response in pulse amplification and laser diode modulation circuits. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 package (DBV), 6-pin surface-mount, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, 0.95mm height, thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Delivers full ±4V swing into 100Ω; low 0.006Ω closed-loop output impedance minimizes gain error under load. |
| 2 (–VS) | Negative Supply Rail | Accepts –2.5V to –6V; internal biasing maintains performance across full bipolar supply range. |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting Input | 50kΩ || 1pF input impedance; common-mode range extends to ±3.65V at +85°C for robust DC-coupled operation. |
| 4 (+VS) | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts +2.5V to +6V (bipolar) or +2.8V to +12V (single); PSRR >60dB rejects supply noise. |
| 5 (DIS) | Disable Control (Active-Low) | Pulled LOW disables amplifier; 3.4V min enable threshold ensures TTL/CMOS logic compatibility. |
| 6 (–IN) | Inverting Input | 2.5Ω input resistance; low 17pA/√Hz current noise preserves dynamic range in high-Z feedback networks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CFBplus Architecture | Internally buffered inverting input enables near-constant bandwidth from G = +1 to +20 - eliminating gain-dependent compensation redesign. |

| Flexible Supply Operation | Operates from ±2.5V to ±6V or +2.8V to +12V - supports legacy ±5V systems and modern low-voltage embedded platforms. |
| Fast Enable/Disable | 40ns enable time and 4ms disable time allow dynamic power gating in time-sliced signal paths without output glitches. |
| High Output Drive | 120mA sinking / 160mA sourcing capability sustains ±4VPP swing into 100Ω - meets SMPTE 259M/C and HD-SDI drive requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA683IDBVR | Lower quiescent current (1.3mA vs. 1.7mA), reduced bandwidth (80MHz at G=+10), no disable pin. | Better suited for always-on ultra-low-power sensor nodes where shutdown is unnecessary. | Select OPA683IDBVR when power budget is tighter than bandwidth requirement and disable functionality is not needed. |
| OPA691IDBVR | Higher slew rate (1800V/µs), higher supply current (5.3mA), same SOT-23-6 package. | Required for >200MHz small-signal bandwidth or >10VPP output swing applications. | Choose OPA691IDBVR when OPA684IDBVRG4 bandwidth or output voltage swing is insufficient for high-definition video or RF IF stages. |
Compared with OPA683IDBVR, the OPA684IDBVRG4 trades 0.4mA quiescent current for 40MHz extra bandwidth and integrated disable control; versus OPA691IDBVR, it saves 3.6mA supply current while retaining sufficient linearity for SD/HD video - making it optimal for portable broadcast gear with thermal and battery-life constraints.

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the OPA684IDBVRG4 support?
The OPA684IDBVRG4 operates from ±2.5V to ±6V in dual-supply mode or +2.8V to +12V in single-supply mode. At ±5V, it delivers full ±4V output swing into 100Ω; at +5V, it provides >3VPP swing with 70mA sourcing capability. The internal biasing remains stable across this full range, ensuring consistent bandwidth and distortion performance without external recalibration.
How does the CFBplus architecture of the OPA684IDBVRG4 improve gain-bandwidth trade-offs?
The OPA684IDBVRG4 uses an internally closed-loop input buffer to linearize inverting-input impedance, reducing gain-dependent bandwidth roll-off. This allows 120MHz bandwidth at G = +10 and 104MHz at G = +20 - far exceeding conventional CFB op amps. As a result, gain changes require only RG adjustment without re-optimizing RF, simplifying design of variable-gain video and instrumentation amplifiers.
What is the disable functionality of the OPA684IDBVRG4, and how does it affect system power?
The OPA684IDBVRG4 features an active-low DIS pin (Pin 5). When pulled LOW, supply current drops to ≤100µA while all I/O pins enter high-impedance state - reducing total system power by >94% versus normal operation (1.7mA). Enable time is 40ns, disable time is 4ms, and off isolation exceeds 70dB at 5MHz, making it ideal for time-multiplexed video routing and battery-powered portable instruments.
Can the OPA684IDBVRG4 drive standard 75Ω video loads, and what differential gain/phase performance does it achieve?
Yes, the OPA684IDBVRG4 drives 75Ω and 150Ω video loads with verified performance: at G = +2, NTSC, VO = 1.4Vp, it achieves 0.04% differential gain and 0.02° differential phase error. With four parallel 150Ω loads (equivalent 37.5Ω), dG/dP remains <0.1%/0.1° - meeting SMPTE 259M-C and ITU-R BT.601 requirements for professional broadcast equipment using a single OPA684IDBVRG4.
What are the thermal characteristics of the OPA684IDBVRG4 in its SOT-23-6 package?
The OPA684IDBVRG4 in SOT-23-6 (DBV) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W. At maximum 1.85mA quiescent current and 100mA output load, power dissipation stays below 150mW - limiting junction temperature rise to <23°C above ambient under typical PCB conditions. This enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures and stacked PCB assemblies without forced air cooling.
