Product details
Overview
OPA743UA 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 - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in LCD gamma correction buffers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA743UA datasheet, OPA743UA pinout, OPA743UA application, or OPA743UA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1pA input bias current, 84dB CMRR at full scale, 0.0008% THD+N at 6kHz, SO-8 package compatibility, and verified performance across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The OPA743UA employs a complementary input stage (N- and P-channel differential pairs) to achieve rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 100mV beyond supply rails. 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 features no phase inversion when inputs exceed supply rails-provided input current is limited to ≤10mA via series resistance. The device is fully specified over ±1.75V to ±6V dual supply or 3.5V–12V single supply, with guaranteed AC performance including 9µs 0.1% settling time on a 5V step.
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 adequate phase margin. |
| Slew Rate | 10V/µs - supports clean 1Vpp signals up to ~1.6MHz without slew-induced distortion. |
| Input Bias Current | 1pA typical - minimizes voltage error in high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision integrators. |
| Output Swing (100kΩ) | Within 100mV of rails - preserves >98% dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V systems with rail-referenced references. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.1mA per amplifier - allows battery-powered operation for >100 hours with 100mAh coin cell. |
| CMRR (full scale) | 84dB - rejects >100× common-mode noise in single-ended front-end stages driving ADCs. |
| THD+N @ 6kHz | 0.0008% - meets audio-grade fidelity requirements for active filters and transducer amplifiers. |
Pinout & Package
OPA743UA is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) surface-mount package with standard D-body outline (Package Drawing D), JEDEC MS-012AC, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice. |
| 2 (–In) | Inverting input | Differential node accepting feedback or signal; 1pA bias current enables high-Z source interfacing. |
| 3 (+In) | Non-inverting input | Reference or signal input; rail-to-rail common-mode range (V– –0.1V to V+ +0.1V) supports direct sensor connection. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Accepts ground (single-supply) or negative rail (dual-supply); bypass with 1µF tantalum + 1000pF ceramic. |
| 5 (Out) | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±20mA; swings to within 100mV of rails into 100kΩ, 325mV into 1kΩ. |
| 6 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; no routing or termination required. |
| 7 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; leave unconnected. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 3.5–12V (single) or +1.75–+6V (dual); requires local decoupling as specified in datasheet Figure 4. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision DC-coupled gain stage with ultra-low input bias current and minimal power consumption. Use Value: 1pA IB prevents offset drift in high-impedance bridges; 1.1mA IQ extends battery life without sacrificing 7MHz bandwidth for anti-alias filtering. |
| Automotive Audio Pre-amplifier | Data Acquisition Front-End Driver |
Use Scenario: Low-noise pre-amplification of microphone or line-level signals in automotive infotainment head units with 5V or 12V supply rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unity-gain stable, low-THD+N buffer preceding ADC or digital signal processor. Use Value: 0.0008% THD+N at 6kHz and 30nV/√Hz input voltage noise preserve audio fidelity; rail-to-rail I/O maximizes dynamic range. | Use Scenario: Driving SAR or sigma-delta ADC inputs in industrial data loggers where multiplexed sensors require fast settling and low charge injection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Track-and-hold buffer with 9µs 0.1% settling time and high capacitive load drive capability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA374AIDR | Lower 6.5MHz GBW, 1.6mA IQ, same SO-8 package and rail-to-rail I/O. | Higher power consumption; less suitable for battery-constrained designs requiring 7MHz bandwidth. | Select OPA374AIDR only if 6.5MHz suffices and TI's enhanced ESD protection (4kV HBM) is prioritized over quiescent current. |
| LMV721IDBVR | 3MHz GBW, 1.25mA IQ, 1.2pA IB, SOT-23-5 package - not pin-compatible. | Lower speed limits use in active filters above ~1MHz; smaller footprint trades off thermal performance (θJA = 200°C/W). | Choose LMV721IDBVR for space-constrained PCBs where 3MHz bandwidth and ultra-small size outweigh need for SO-8 layout reuse. |
Compared with OPA374AIDR and LMV721IDBVR, the OPA743UA provides superior bandwidth-efficiency trade-off (7MHz at 1.1mA), verified SO-8 pinout compatibility for drop-in replacement in existing layouts, and tighter production distribution on input offset voltage (±1.5mV max vs ±2.5mV).

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the OPA743UA?
The OPA743UA has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 13.2V (V+ to V–). Its recommended operating range is 3.5V to 12V for single-supply configurations or ±1.75V to ±6V for dual supplies. Exceeding 13.2V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in SBOS201.
Does the OPA743UA support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
Yes - the OPA743UA's input common-mode voltage range extends from (V–) – 0.1V to (V+) + 0.1V at room temperature, achieved via complementary N- and P-channel input stages. This enables direct interfacing with sensors or references referenced to ground or supply rails without external level shifting.
Can the OPA743UA drive a 1000pF capacitive load stably?
Yes, the OPA743UA is characterized to drive up to 1000pF pure capacitive load while maintaining stability. For unity-gain configurations with heavy capacitive loads, TI recommends inserting a 10Ω–20Ω series resistor inside the feedback loop (as shown in Figure 4 of SBOS201) to suppress ringing without degrading DC accuracy.
What is the output voltage swing specification for the OPA743UA into a 1kΩ load?
Into a 1kΩ load, the OPA743UA delivers a minimum output voltage swing of 300mV from each rail (i.e., V– + 0.3V to V+ – 0.3V) at room temperature, with 425–450mV degradation over the full –40°C to +85°C range. This is verified under conditions where open-loop gain remains ≥96dB.
Is the OPA743UA pin-compatible with other op-amps in the SO-8 package?
No - the OPA743UA uses a nonstandard SO-8 pinout with three no-connect (NC) pins (pins 1, 6, and 7). It is not pin-compatible with generic SO-8 op-amps like LM358 or TL072. Layout reuse requires verification against the exact pin mapping shown in the SBOS201 datasheet diagram for SO-8.
