Product details
Overview
OPA734AIDR from Texas Instruments is a zero-drift, single-supply CMOS operational amplifier with 5µV max offset voltage, 0.05µV/°C max drift, 750µA max quiescent current, rail-to-rail output swing within 50mV of rails, and integrated shutdown control. It serves as a precision signal-conditioning front-end in low-voltage, battery-powered instrumentation requiring long-term DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the OPA734AIDR datasheet, OPA734AIDR pinout, OPA734AIDR application, or OPA734AIDR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in transducer interfaces and medical sensing, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The OPA734AIDR employs auto-zeroing architecture with a time-continuous 1.6MHz main amplifier corrected every 100µs, enabling simultaneous low offset (5µV) and near-zero thermal drift (0.05µV/°C). Its input stage features CMOS topology with ±200pA max bias current and rail-to-rail common-mode range from (V−) − 0.1V to (V+) − 1.5V.
Shutdown functionality is implemented via a CMOS-compatible enable pin referenced to V−, with logic HIGH (> V− + 2V) activating the amplifier and logic LOW (< V− + 0.8V) reducing supply current to 9µA max while placing output in high-impedance state. The device is unity-gain stable and immune to output phase reversal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Offset Voltage | 5µV (max) - enables sub-10µV system-level DC error in precision bridge or thermocouple amplifiers |
| Drift vs Temperature | 0.05µV/°C (max) - ensures <0.5µV total drift over 10°C ambient change, critical for unattended temperature measurement |
| Quiescent Current | 750µA (max) - supports >1-year battery life in handheld test equipment operating at 3V supply |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 12V (single or ±1.35V to ±6V) - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Input Bias Current | 200pA (max) - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sensor sources like piezoresistive bridges |
| Output Swing | Within 50mV of rails - preserves full dynamic range when driving SAR ADCs with 0–VREF input ranges |
| Enable Response | tON = 150µs (includes one auto-zero cycle), tOFF = 1.5µs - allows fast power gating in multiplexed sensor arrays |
Pinout & Package
OPA734AIDR is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 2 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enable | CMOS-compatible digital input; logic HIGH (> V− + 2V) enables amplifier, logic LOW disables output to high-Z |
| 2 | Inverting Input (−IN) | Differential input node; accepts signals within (V−) − 0.1V to (V+) − 1.5V common-mode range |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; matched impedance and bias current to −IN for optimal CMRR |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail; reference for enable pin and internal circuitry; must be connected even in single-supply operation |
| 5 | Output (OUT) | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking ±20mA; high-impedance when disabled |
| 6 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports up to +12V or ±6V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 7 | NC | No connection - internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 8 | NC | No connection - internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-zero architecture | Continuous 1.6MHz signal-path amplifier corrected every 100µs - eliminates 1/f noise and guarantees initial VOS accuracy after power-up |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 50mV of V+ and V− - maximizes usable ADC input range without external level-shifting circuitry |
| Low-input-bias-current CMOS inputs | ±200pA max over temperature - prevents gain error in high-impedance transducer interfaces (e.g., load cells, pH electrodes) |
| Integrated shutdown | Reduces IQ from 750µA to 9µA - enables microamp-level sleep modes in portable instrumentation with fast wake-up (150µs) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA735AIDR | No shutdown pin; SOT23-5 and SO-8 variants available; identical offset (5µV), drift (0.05µV/°C), and supply range | Lacks enable control; suited for always-on, space-constrained designs where shutdown is unnecessary | Select OPA735AIDR when board area is limited and continuous operation is acceptable |
| AD8628ARZ | Zero-drift amplifier with 1µV max offset, 0.002µV/°C drift, 1.2mA IQ, SO-8 package; no shutdown function | Lower drift but higher quiescent current; optimized for ultra-stable lab-grade instruments rather than portable devices | Select AD8628ARZ when ultimate DC stability outweighs battery-life requirements |
Compared with OPA734AIDR, OPA735AIDR removes shutdown capability to reduce cost and footprint, while AD8628ARZ trades higher supply current for significantly lower drift-making OPA734AIDR the optimal balance of precision, power efficiency, and controllability in portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for OPA734AIDR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OPA734AIDR is +13.2V. Operation above this rating risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is +2.7V to +12V for single-supply configurations or ±1.35V to ±6V for dual supplies. Exceeding +12V during normal operation degrades long-term reliability, even if below the absolute maximum limit. Always include transient protection if the system may experience voltage spikes.
Does OPA734AIDR require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, OPA734AIDR is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. It does not require external capacitors or resistors to maintain phase margin in gain-of-1 configurations. This simplifies PCB layout and eliminates tuning steps in precision buffer or follower applications. The device maintains >60° phase margin across its full operating temperature range and supply voltage span.
How does the enable pin on OPA734AIDR behave when left floating?
When the enable pin of OPA734AIDR is left unconnected, internal pull-up circuitry activates the amplifier by default. The device operates normally with full performance (750µA IQ, 5µV offset). To disable the amplifier, the enable pin must be actively driven to a logic LOW (< V− + 0.8V); floating is functionally equivalent to logic HIGH. This behavior ensures fail-safe operation in case of control-line open-circuit faults.
Can OPA734AIDR drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
OPA734AIDR can safely drive ≥1000pF capacitive loads with minimal overshoot (<5%), as confirmed in typical characteristics. For loads >1000pF, a small series resistor (10–50Ω) between output and capacitance restores stability. The device's robust phase margin and auto-zero architecture prevent sustained ringing or latch-up, making it suitable for driving ADC input capacitors and long cables in data acquisition systems.
What is the output impedance of OPA734AIDR in shutdown mode?
In shutdown mode, OPA734AIDR places its output in a true high-impedance state with leakage current <10nA - effectively disconnecting the amplifier from downstream circuitry. This allows safe multiplexing of multiple OPA734AIDR outputs onto a shared analog bus without interaction or loading effects. The high-Z state is maintained regardless of input signal levels or supply voltage, ensuring signal integrity in gated amplifier architectures.
