Product details
Overview
OPA694ID from Texas Instruments is a current-feedback operational amplifier designed for ultra-wideband, low-power video and RF signal conditioning. It delivers 690MHz bandwidth at +2V/V gain, 1700V/µs slew rate, 5.8mA quiescent current, and ±80mA output drive-enabling high-fidelity matrix switch buffering and ADC driver applications in ±5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA694ID datasheet, OPA694ID pinout, OPA694ID application, or OPA694ID equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SO-8 package layout, differential gain/phase performance (0.03%/0.015°), thermal resistance (125°C/W), and validated alternatives for video line driving, RF summing, and wideband instrumentation.
Technical Context
The OPA694ID implements a current-feedback architecture with 30Ω internal inverting-input impedance (RI) and open-loop transimpedance of 145kΩ at 25°C. Its bandwidth remains stable across gains (200MHz at G = +10) due to noise-gain–dependent feedback resistor optimization-not voltage-gain scaling.
It features a bootstrapped input stage for improved unity-gain flatness, <1.5V output voltage headroom into ±80mA loads, and dual-supply operation from ±3.5V to ±6.3V. The device maintains NTSC-compliant differential gain/phase error (0.03%/0.015°) under 1.4VPP swing into 150Ω, confirming suitability for broadcast-grade video routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +2) | 690MHz typical - enables full HD/3G-SDI signal amplification without phase distortion |
| Slew Rate | 1700V/µs minimum - supports clean 2VPP transient response in <1ns rise time |
| Supply Current | 5.8mA maximum at ±5V - allows dense integration in multi-channel video routers |
| Differential Gain/Phase Error | 0.03%/0.015° max - meets SMPTE RP-168 and ITU-R BT.601 broadcast video fidelity requirements |
| Output Drive Capability | ±80mA minimum - drives 100Ω loads with <3.4V swing, supporting active termination in RF interconnects |
| Input Voltage Noise Density | 2.1nV/√Hz typical above 1MHz - preserves SNR in 12-bit ADC front-ends up to 675MHz full-power bandwidth |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 125°C/W for SO-8 - enables stable operation at 85°C ambient with ≤500mW dissipation |
Pinout & Package
OPA694ID is housed in an industry-standard SO-8 (D) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise orientation from top-left.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (−) | Current-sensing node for feedback loop; requires precise RF matching (e.g., 402Ω at G = +2) to stabilize bandwidth |
| 2 | Noninverting Input (+) | High-impedance voltage reference point; CMIR extends to ±2.5V at 25°C for rail-to-rail input compatibility |
| 3 | Output | Class-AB output stage with ±80mA sourcing/sinking; supports direct 50Ω/75Ω cable drive with series termination |
| 4 | −VS | Negative supply rail connection; decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) required between Pins 4 and 8 for harmonic distortion reduction |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines |
| 7 | +VS | Positive supply rail connection; optional 0.1µF capacitor between Pins 4 and 7 improves 2nd-harmonic suppression by 3–6dB |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA695ID | Higher 3rd-order intercept (+22dBm vs +15dBm), 1.7GHz bandwidth, but 9.5mA supply current | Better suited for high-dynamic-range RF receiver front-ends; less optimal for power-constrained video routing | Select OPA695ID only when >40dB SFDR is required above 50MHz and thermal budget allows +3.7mA extra current |
| LMH6702MA | Lower 1.3mA quiescent current, 1.3GHz bandwidth, but 0.08%/0.12° differential gain/phase error | Acceptable for non-broadcast video or test equipment; fails NTSC compliance at full swing | Choose LMH6702MA for cost-sensitive, non-NTSC applications where 0.03% differential gain is not mandated |
Compared with OPA694ID, OPA695ID trades 3.7mA higher supply current for +7dBm higher IP3 and broader bandwidth-ideal for RF receiver chains-while LMH6702MA reduces power by 4.5mA but sacrifices broadcast video fidelity, making it unsuitable for SMPTE-compliant infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the OPA694ID?
The OPA694ID supports a maximum operating voltage range of ±6.3V DC, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term performance, TI recommends staying within the specified ±5V nominal supply range used in all electrical characterization, where the device achieves its published 690MHz bandwidth and 1700V/µs slew rate. The OPA694ID datasheet confirms this rating applies to both SO-8 and SOT23-5 packages.
Does the OPA694ID require external compensation capacitors for stability?
No, the OPA694ID is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation capacitors. Its current-feedback architecture inherently maintains stability across gains from +1V/V to +10V/V when using recommended feedback resistors (e.g., 402Ω at G = +2). However, a 0.1µF capacitor between +VS and −VS pins is recommended to reduce 2nd-harmonic distortion by 3–6dB-this is a decoupling measure, not compensation. The OPA694ID evaluation boards (DEM-OPA-SO-1B) validate this behavior in production layouts.
Can the OPA694ID drive a 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, the OPA694ID can drive a 75Ω coaxial cable directly using series output termination. With ±80mA output drive capability and ±3.4V swing into 100Ω, it delivers ≥1.4VPP into 75Ω loads-sufficient for RG-59 video standards. TI's application note SBOS319G shows a G = +2 configuration with 402Ω feedback and 75Ω series output resistor achieving 0.03%/0.015° differential gain/phase error. No external buffer or transformer is needed for baseband video line driving.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA694ID in SO-8 package?
The OPA694ID in SO-8 (D) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 125°C/W, as documented in the Thermal Characteristics table of the SBOS319G datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. With 5.8mA quiescent current at ±5V (58mW static power), the junction temperature rise is ≤7.25°C above ambient-well within the −40°C to +85°C operating range. The exposed pad variant (D package) further enhances thermal performance in high-density PCB layouts.
Is the OPA694ID pin-compatible with the OPA658?
No, the OPA694ID is not pin-compatible with the OPA658. While both are current-feedback op amps, the OPA658 uses an SO-8 package with different pin assignments: Pin 1 is +VS, Pin 4 is Output, and Pin 5 is −VS-whereas the OPA694ID assigns Pin 1 to Inverting Input and Pin 4 to −VS. TI explicitly positions the OPA694ID as an "improved replacement for OPA658" in functionality (bandwidth, power, video specs), not mechanical compatibility. Board redesign is required for substitution.
