Product details
Overview
OPA684IDR 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 OPA684IDR datasheet, OPA684IDR pinout, OPA684IDR application, or OPA684IDR equivalent, key selection considerations include its CFBplus architecture's gain-independent bandwidth, 100µA shutdown current, SO-8 package thermal resistance (125°C/W), and verified performance in NTSC composite video (0.04% differential gain, 0.02° differential phase).
Technical Context
The OPA684IDR 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 (ZOL) is 355kΩ min at ±5V, with <2.5Ω inverting-input resistance and 50kΩ || 2pF non-inverting input impedance.
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 gain-bandwidth trade-off, and stable operation into capacitive loads up to 100pF without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +10) | 120MHz typical - supports >100MHz video baseband and high-speed data acquisition without gain-dependent roll-off. |
| 2nd-Harmonic Distortion (5MHz, RL ≥ 1kΩ) | –78dBc max - ensures <0.01% harmonic error in professional camera front-ends and ADC driver stages. |
| Output Current (Sourcing) | 160mA min - drives ±4VPP into 100Ω while maintaining linearity for doubly terminated 50Ω video lines. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 1.7mA max at ±5V - enables battery-powered portable video equipment and multi-channel systems with tight power budgets. |
| Disable Current | 100µA max - reduces system standby power by >94% while placing I/O pins in high-impedance state. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 3.7nV/√Hz typ - preserves SNR in low-level signal amplification paths such as sensor interfaces and post-filter stages. |
| Enable Time | 40ns typical - supports fast-switching applications like multiplexed video routing and burst-mode signal processing. |
Pinout & Package
OPA684IDR is housed in an SO-8 (D) surface-mount package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and θJA = 125°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (–) | Low-impedance (2.5Ω) current-sensing node for feedback error current; requires precise RG/RF matching for stable CFB operation. |
| 2 | Noninverting Input (+) | High-impedance (50kΩ || 2pF) voltage reference point; sets common-mode bias and defines input offset behavior. |
| 3 | –VS | Negative supply rail; must be decoupled with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin for stability under high-frequency load transients. |
| 4 | Disable (DIS) | Active-low enable control; pulled HIGH or left open for normal operation; driven LOW to reduce supply current to ≤100µA. |
| 5 | +VS | Positive supply rail; supports ±2.5V to ±6V dual or +2.8V to +12V single supply; internal biasing maintains performance across range. |
| 6 | Output | Class-AB output stage capable of sourcing/sinking >100mA; exhibits 0.006Ω closed-loop output impedance at 100kHz. |
| 7 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; no internal bond wire or circuitry attached. |
| 8 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; no internal bond wire or circuitry attached. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CFBplus Architecture | Internally buffered inverting input enables near-constant bandwidth from G = +1 to +20 - eliminates traditional CFB gain-bandwidth trade-off. |
| NTSC Video Performance | 0.04% differential gain / 0.02° differential phase at G = +2 - meets broadcast-grade video line driver requirements without external calibration. |
| Single-Supply Operation | Functions from +2.8V to +12V with 1.25V input headroom and 1.0V output headroom - enables direct interface with 3.3V/5V logic and ADCs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA691IDR | Higher slew rate (1800 V/µs), 500MHz bandwidth, 4.5mA quiescent current - optimized for >200MHz signal chains. | Not suitable for ultra-low-power designs; requires higher PCB layout care due to increased sensitivity to parasitics. | Select when bandwidth >300MHz is required and power budget allows >2.5× OPA684IDR quiescent current. |
| OPA683IDR | Lower quiescent current (1.1mA), 80MHz bandwidth at G = +10, reduced output current (80mA) - scaled-down CFBplus variant. | Limited to single-load video or low-current ADC driving; insufficient for 100Ω doubly terminated lines. | Select for battery-powered portable instruments where 80MHz bandwidth suffices and sub-1.2mA supply current is mandatory. |
Compared with OPA684IDR, OPA691IDR trades 2.6× higher power for >4× bandwidth and slew rate, while OPA683IDR reduces power by 35% but sacrifices 33% bandwidth and 33% output drive - making OPA684IDR the optimal balance for broadcast video and mid-speed ADC interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for OPA684IDR?
The OPA684IDR supports a maximum dual-supply voltage of ±6V and a maximum single-supply voltage of +12V, with absolute maximum ratings of ±6.5V. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage. The device is fully specified from ±2.5V to ±6V dual supply or +2.8V to +12V single supply, with performance remaining stable across this range due to internal supply-independent biasing.
Does OPA684IDR support true single-supply operation with rail-to-rail input and output?
The OPA684IDR does not feature rail-to-rail input or output. Its input common-mode range extends to within 1.25V of either supply rail (e.g., 1.25V to 3.75V on +5V), and output swing reaches within 1.0V of each rail (e.g., 1.0V to 4.0V on +5V). This enables robust single-supply use in video and ADC driver applications without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
How does the CFBplus architecture in OPA684IDR improve upon standard current-feedback op amps?
The CFBplus architecture integrates a closed-loop input buffer that linearizes the inverting-input impedance to ~2.5Ω across frequency and gain. This eliminates the gain-dependent bandwidth roll-off and peaking seen in conventional CFB amplifiers, enabling stable 120MHz bandwidth at G = +10 and 104MHz at G = +20 - a key advantage for multichannel summing and programmable-gain video systems.
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for OPA684IDR in a G = +2 configuration?
For optimal bandwidth flatness and stability at G = +2, TI specifies RF = 1kΩ with RG = 1kΩ under ±5V operation, and RF = 1.3kΩ with RG = 1.3kΩ under +5V single-supply operation. Deviating significantly from these values increases peaking or reduces bandwidth; RF values below 800Ω risk instability, while values above 1.5kΩ degrade high-frequency response.
Can OPA684IDR drive a 50Ω doubly terminated coaxial cable directly?
Yes - the OPA684IDR delivers ±4VPP into 100Ω (equivalent to 50Ω doubly terminated) on ±5V supplies with <0.1dB gain flatness to 19MHz and –78dBc 2nd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz. Its 160mA sourcing capability and 0.006Ω closed-loop output impedance ensure minimal signal reflection and amplitude droop across the video baseband.
