Product details
Overview
OPA743NA/250G4 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, 1pA input bias current, and output swing within 100mV of rails under light load - enabling high-precision buffering in LCD gamma correction and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA743NA/250G4 datasheet, OPA743NA/250G4 pinout, OPA743NA/250G4 application, or OPA743NA/250G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail I/O performance at 12V, low-power operation with full AC specs over –40°C to +85°C, SOT23-5 package constraints, and verified compatibility with capacitive loads up to 1000pF.
Technical Context
The OPA743NA/250G4 employs a complementary N/P-channel input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode range extending 100mV beyond supply rails, with a defined 500mV transition region where both pairs conduct. Its class AB output stage supports 20mA continuous output current and drives 1kΩ loads while maintaining ≥86dB open-loop gain.
It is unity-gain stable and specified across full supply (3.5V–12V) and temperature (–40°C to +85°C) ranges. Input protection diodes clamp signals exceeding rails by >300mV, requiring ≤10mA external current limiting - confirmed in absolute maximum ratings and application circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 7MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~5MHz in G=+2 configuration with phase margin >60° |
| Slew Rate | 10V/µs - supports 5V step settling in 9µs (0.1%) for signal conditioning in data acquisition |
| Input Bias Current | 1pA typical - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and transducer amplifiers |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 100mV of rails (RL = 100kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V/5V/12V single-supply systems |
| Quiescent Current | 1.1mA per amplifier - allows battery-powered operation >100 hours with 3.7V Li-ion cell |
| CMRR | 84dB typical at 25°C - rejects power supply noise in automotive audio and sensor front-ends |
| THD+N | 0.0008% at 6kHz - meets fidelity requirements for LCD reference buffering and test equipment |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture; 17µV max VOS vs. ±7mV for OPA743NA/250G4; 350kHz GBW vs. 7MHz | Better DC precision but lower speed; unsuitable for >100kHz signal paths or gamma correction timing | Select OPA333AIDBVR only when µV-level offset stability outweighs bandwidth needs |
| MCP6001T-E/OT | 1MHz GBW, 0.6V/µs slew rate, 100µA IQ; SOT23-5 package; rail-to-rail I/O | Lower power and cost, but insufficient speed/noise performance for LCD reference or audio line driving | Choose MCP6001T-E/OT for simple sensor buffering where 7MHz is unnecessary and 1.1mA IQ is prohibitive |
Compared with OPA333AIDBVR and MCP6001T-E/OT, the OPA743NA/250G4 uniquely balances 7MHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail operation at 12V, and 1.1mA quiescent current - making it irreplaceable in high-fidelity, medium-speed analog signal chains where both precision and speed are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for OPA743NA/250G4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OPA743NA/250G4 is 13.2V between V+ and V– pins. Continuous operation is specified from 3.5V to 12V, with full electrical performance guaranteed across this range at temperatures from –40°C to +85°C. Exceeding 13.2V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in SBOS201.
Does OPA743NA/250G4 support true rail-to-rail input beyond the supply rails?
Yes, OPA743NA/250G4 features a complementary input stage allowing common-mode voltage range from (V–) – 0.1V to (V+) + 0.1V at 25°C. This 100mV beyond-rail capability is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Application Information section, enabling direct connection to overvoltage-safe sensors without level-shifting.
Can OPA743NA/250G4 drive heavy capacitive loads without oscillation?
OPA743NA/250G4 is stable with up to 1000pF pure capacitive load in unity-gain configuration. For loads >100pF, TI recommends adding a 10Ω–20Ω series resistor inside the feedback loop (as shown in Figure 4 of SBOS201) to suppress ringing while preserving DC accuracy - a validated method documented in the Capacitive Load and Stability section.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA743NA/250G4 package?
The OPA743NA/250G4 uses a SOT23-5 package with a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 200°C/W, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and confirms safe operation at 1.1mA quiescent current up to +85°C ambient without derating.
Is OPA743NA/250G4 pin-compatible with other members of the OPA743 family?
No - OPA743NA/250G4 is a single-channel device in SOT23-5, while OPA2743 (dual) and OPA4743 (quad) use different pinouts and footprints (MSOP-8, TSSOP-14, SO-8, SO-14). Pin compatibility exists only within same-channel-count variants sharing identical package types, such as OPA743NA/250G4 and OPA743NA/3K (both SOT23-5).
