Product details
Overview
OPA694IDR from Texas Instruments is a current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for wideband video, RF, and ADC driver applications. It delivers 690MHz bandwidth at +2V/V gain, 1700V/µs slew rate, 5.8mA quiescent current, and ±80mA output drive with <1.5V output headroom-enabling high-density video line drivers and low-power SAW pre-amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA694IDR datasheet, OPA694IDR pinout, OPA694IDR application, or OPA694IDR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world application cards, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The OPA694IDR uses a current-feedback architecture where bandwidth remains stable across gains up to 10V/V (200MHz), unlike voltage-feedback op amps. Its transimpedance open-loop gain is 145kΩ at 25°C, with inverting input resistance of 30Ω and noninverting input impedance of 280Ω || 1.2pF.
It operates from ±3.5V to ±6.3V supplies, supports DC-coupled inverting (+2V/V) and noninverting (–2V/V) configurations, and achieves 0.03%/0.015° NTSC differential gain/phase error-critical for broadcast-quality video routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +2) | 690MHz typical - enables >300MHz video signal fidelity with minimal group delay variation |
| Slew Rate | 1700V/µs minimum - supports clean 2VPP large-signal transitions at 675MHz full-power bandwidth |
| Supply Current | 5.8mA typical at ±5V - allows high-channel-count video routers without thermal derating |
| Output Drive | ±80mA minimum into 100Ω - drives dual 75Ω video loads or 50Ω RF traces directly |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.03% / 0.015° max - meets SMPTE 253M broadcast video linearity requirements |
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.1nV/√Hz typical - preserves SNR in 12-bit ADC driver stages up to 100MHz |
| Harmonic Distortion (2nd/3rd) | –68dBc / –72dBc at 5MHz, 2VPP, RL=100Ω - suppresses spurious content in IF amplifiers |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (DBV) with exposed pad for thermal performance; 5-pin surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and space-constrained video/RF PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Output | Amplified signal output node | Drives 50Ω/75Ω transmission lines directly; requires local 0.1µF decoupling to V– |
| 2 - –VS | Negative supply rail | Connect to –5V with low-inductance path; optional 0.1µF capacitor between +VS and –VS improves 2nd-harmonic distortion |
| 3 - Noninverting Input | High-impedance reference input | 280Ω || 1.2pF input impedance; used for unity-gain buffer or noninverting gain configurations |
| 4 - +VS | Positive supply rail | Connect to +5V with low-inductance path; same decoupling rules as –VS |
| 5 - Inverting Input | Low-impedance summing node | 30Ω input resistance; feedback resistor (RF) sets bandwidth independently of gain |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Stable | 1.5GHz bandwidth at G = +1 - eliminates need for external compensation in video line drivers |
| Current-Feedback Architecture | Bandwidth holds to 200MHz at G = +10 - enables high-gain IF amplifiers without sacrificing RF response |
| Low Differential Errors | 0.03%/0.015° NTSC compliance - ensures color fidelity in SD/HD video matrix switches |
| High Output Drive | ±80mA into 100Ω load - drives back-terminated 75Ω coax (RG-59) without external buffers |
| Pb-Free SOT-23-5 | RoHS-compliant DBV package - supports lead-free reflow and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA684IDBVR | Lower bandwidth (220MHz at G=+2), higher supply current (12.5mA), same SOT-23-5 package | Targeted for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency video applications (e.g., CVBS distribution); not suitable for >150MHz ADC drivers | Select when power budget allows higher current and bandwidth requirements are ≤200MHz |
| LMH6703MF/NOPB | Higher slew rate (3100V/µs), wider small-signal bandwidth (1.6GHz), SO-8 only, no SOT-23 option | Optimized for ultra-high-speed pulse applications (e.g., laser diode drivers); lacks NTSC-certified differential gain specs | Choose for >1GHz transient response needs where video linearity is secondary to speed |
Compared with OPA694IDR, OPA684IDBVR trades bandwidth and power efficiency for cost, while LMH6703MF/NOPB prioritizes raw speed over video fidelity and package flexibility-making OPA694IDR the optimal balance for space-constrained, broadcast-grade video and RF signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the OPA694IDR?
The OPA694IDR supports a maximum operating voltage range of ±6.3V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond this risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term performance, TI specifies ±5V as the typical operating condition, where key parameters like bandwidth and distortion are characterized. The OPA694IDR must never be operated at ±6.5V, as that exceeds its absolute maximum rating and may cause junction failure.
Does the OPA694IDR require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA694IDR is unity-gain stable with 1.5GHz bandwidth at G = +1, as confirmed in the Features section and Electrical Characteristics table. Its current-feedback architecture inherently avoids the phase-margin degradation seen in voltage-feedback op amps. However, Figure 37 shows that the standard unity-gain configuration exhibits ~2dB peaking; for flatter response, TI recommends the bootstrapped RG circuit in Figure 36-no external capacitors or resistors beyond those shown are needed for stability.
Can the OPA694IDR drive a 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, the OPA694IDR can drive 75Ω coaxial cable (e.g., RG-59) directly in a back-terminated configuration. With ±80mA output drive capability and <1.5V output headroom at ±5V supplies, it sustains 2VPP into 100Ω (equivalent to dual 75Ω loads in parallel). TI's Application Information (Figure 31) explicitly validates 75Ω video load operation, and the 0.03%/0.015° NTSC differential gain/phase spec confirms broadcast-grade linearity under these conditions.
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for G = +2 operation with the OPA694IDR?
Texas Instruments specifies RF = 402Ω for G = +2V/V operation in the Electrical Characteristics table and Figure 31 test circuit. This value optimizes bandwidth (690MHz) and distortion performance simultaneously. Deviating from 402Ω reduces bandwidth or increases harmonic distortion-e.g., using 300Ω lowers 3rd-harmonic rejection by ~4dB at 5MHz. The OPA694IDR's current-feedback topology makes RF critical for frequency response control, not just gain setting.
Is the OPA694IDR pin-compatible with the OPA658?
No, the OPA694IDR is not pin-compatible with the OPA658. While both are current-feedback op amps and the OPA694IDR is positioned as an "improved replacement" in TI's Applications section, their pinouts differ: OPA658 uses SO-8 (8-pin) with dedicated NC pins, whereas OPA694IDR uses SOT-23-5 (5-pin) with no NC terminals. The OPA694IDR pin 1 is Output, pin 2 is –VS, pin 3 is Noninverting Input, pin 4 is +VS, and pin 5 is Inverting Input-requiring PCB layout revision for migration from OPA658.
