Product details
Overview
OPA743NA/250 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for 3.5V–12V single-supply or ±1.75V–±6V dual-supply operation. It delivers 7MHz gain-bandwidth, 10V/µs slew rate, 1.1mA quiescent current, and 100mV rail-to-rail output swing into 100kΩ - making it ideal for LCD gamma correction reference buffering in portable 10V-panel systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA743NA/250 datasheet, OPA743NA/250 pinout, OPA743NA/250 application, or OPA743NA/250 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1pA input bias current, 84dB full-scale CMRR, SOT23-5 thermal resistance (200°C/W), –40°C to +85°C operating range, and verified performance driving 1kΩ loads within 325mV of rails.
Technical Context
The OPA743NA/250 employs a complementary N/P-channel input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 100mV beyond supply rails at 25°C. Its class-AB output stage supports true rail-to-rail swing under load, with output voltage limited to 100mV from rails at light loads and 325mV at 1kΩ.
It is unity-gain stable and specified across the full 3.5V–12V supply range. Input protection diodes clamp signals exceeding rails by >300mV, requiring ≤10mA current limiting - a constraint addressed in reference buffer designs using series resistors like the 20Ω shown in TI's LCD gamma correction circuit.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA340UA | Lower GBW (5.5MHz), higher IQ (1.6mA), same SOT23-5 package and rail-to-rail I/O. | Less suitable for >5MHz active filters or fast-settling DAQ; better for ultra-low-noise <100kHz sensor amps. | Choose OPA340UA if bandwidth demand is ≤5MHz and lower THD+N (0.0005%) is prioritized over speed. |
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Lower GBW (1MHz), much lower IQ (100µA), wider supply (1.8–6V), but only 65dB CMRR and 200mV output swing. | Targeted at ultra-low-power IoT nodes, not 12V LCD or automotive systems requiring high PSRR/CMRR. | Choose MCP6001T-E/OT only for sub-1V battery applications where 7MHz bandwidth and rail compliance are unnecessary. |
Compared with OPA340UA and MCP6001T-E/OT, the OPA743NA/250 uniquely balances 7MHz bandwidth, 12V operation, 1pA bias current, and 100mV rail-to-rail swing - making it irreplaceable in LCD gamma correction and 10V automotive signal chains where all four parameters are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the OPA743NA/250?
The OPA743NA/250 has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 13.2V (V+ to V–). Its specified operating range is 3.5V to 12V for single-supply use and ±1.75V to ±6V for dual-supply configurations. Operation at 12V is fully characterized and supported across the –40°C to +85°C temperature range, making OPA743NA/250 suitable for 10V LCD panel supplies with headroom.
Does the OPA743NA/250 support rail-to-rail input and output simultaneously?
Yes, the OPA743NA/250 supports true rail-to-rail input and output operation. Its input common-mode range extends from (V–) – 0.1V to (V+) + 0.1V at 25°C, and its output swings to within 100mV of each rail into 100kΩ loads. This simultaneous rail-to-rail capability is critical for maximizing dynamic range in low-voltage, single-supply systems such as portable medical devices and battery-powered test equipment using OPA743NA/250.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA743NA/250 in its SOT23-5 package?
According to the official Texas Instruments datasheet (SBOS201), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the OPA743NA/250 in the SOT23-5 package is 200°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes a 2-layer PCB with minimal copper; actual θJA improves significantly with proper thermal pad layout and additional copper pour, which is essential for sustained 1.1mA operation in enclosed industrial enclosures using OPA743NA/250.
Can the OPA743NA/250 drive capacitive loads, and what is the recommended approach?
Yes, the OPA743NA/250 can drive up to 1000pF of pure capacitive load while remaining stable. For unity-gain configurations with large capacitive loads (e.g., LCD gamma reference bus), TI recommends inserting a 10Ω–20Ω resistor inside the feedback loop - as shown in Figure 4 of SBOS201 - to isolate the op-amp output and reduce ringing without degrading DC accuracy. This technique is validated for OPA743NA/250 in production LCD reference buffer designs.
Is the OPA743NA/250 pin-compatible with other variants in the OPA743 family?
No, the OPA743NA/250 (SOT23-5) is not pin-compatible with dual OPA2743 or quad OPA4743 variants, which use MSOP-8, SO-8, TSSOP-14, or SO-14 packages with different pinouts and channel counts. The OPA743NA/250 has a dedicated 5-pin configuration (V–, –In, Out, V+, +In) optimized for space-constrained single-amplifier applications. Substituting it with OPA2743EA/250 would require PCB redesign due to incompatible pin mapping and package dimensions.
