Product details
Overview
OPA842ID from Texas Instruments is a unity-gain stable, voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for high-speed, low-distortion signal conditioning. It delivers 400MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 2.6nV/√Hz input voltage noise, –93dBc harmonic distortion at 5MHz, and 22ns 0.01% settling time - enabling precision ADC buffering and professional video line driving in ±5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA842ID datasheet, OPA842ID pinout, OPA842ID application, or OPA842ID equivalent, key selection criteria include its 110dB open-loop gain, ±3.2V common-mode input range, 100mA output drive capability, and SO-8 package compatibility with high-density analog layouts requiring minimal board area and thermal resistance of 125°C/W.
Technical Context
The OPA842ID employs a two-stage voltage-feedback architecture that enables unity-gain stability without external compensation while maintaining 200MHz gain-bandwidth product and 400V/µs slew rate. Its differential input stage provides 95dB CMRR and 100dB PSRR, supporting accurate dc-coupled operation across –40°C to +85°C.
It achieves –93dBc third-harmonic distortion at 5MHz with 2VPP output into 500Ω, and maintains 56MHz bandwidth for 0.1dB gain flatness at G = +2 - making it suitable for wideband active filtering, IF amplification, and differential receiver front-ends where phase linearity and transient fidelity are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 400MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation down to G = +1 with no external compensation required. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 200MHz - defines maximum usable bandwidth at higher gains (e.g., 21MHz at G = +10). |
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.6nV/√Hz - enables high-resolution signal amplification without degrading SNR in 14-bit ADC interfaces like ADS850. |
| Harmonic Distortion | –93dBc (3rd harmonic, 5MHz, 2VPP, 500Ω) - meets professional video and test instrumentation THD requirements. |
| Settling Time | 22ns to 0.01% - ensures accurate sampling in 10MSPS+ data acquisition systems with minimal aperture uncertainty. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 110dB - provides <0.001% gain error in precision buffer configurations with moderate feedback network impedance. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±3.5V to ±6V - operates reliably from ±5V rails with 20.2mA quiescent current, supporting industrial power budgets. |
Pinout & Package
OPA842ID is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) with standard pin orientation and D package marking "OPA842". Thermal resistance is 125°C/W (junction-to-ambient), and the device requires ESD handling per TI's 2000V HBM specification.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connection | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practices. |
| 2 (+VS) | Positive Supply | Connects to +5V rail with local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor for low-impedance high-frequency return path. |
| 3 (Output) | Amplifier Output | Drives up to ±100mA; requires series isolation resistor when interfacing capacitive loads (e.g., ADC inputs). |
| 4 (NC) | No Connection | Internally unused; no routing or connection recommended. |
| 5 (NC) | No Connection | Internally unused; maintain clearance per TI's SO-8 layout guidelines. |
| 6 (Inverting Input) | Inverting Input Terminal | High-impedance node; match trace length and impedance to noninverting input to preserve CMRR above 1MHz. |
| 7 (Noninverting Input) | Noninverting Input Terminal | DC-biased via matched resistors (e.g., 147Ω to ground in Figure 38) to cancel input bias current effects. |
| 8 (–VS) | Negative Supply | Connects to –5V rail with local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor adjacent to pin. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA843 | Higher GBP (800MHz), lower input voltage noise (2.0nV/√Hz), but requires minimum G = +5 for stability. | Not unity-gain stable; unsuitable for G = +1 video drivers or integrators without redesign. | Select OPA843 only when gain ≥ +5 is acceptable and ultra-low noise at >10MHz is prioritized over flexibility. |
| OPA642 | Lower GBP (500MHz), higher input voltage noise (3.2nV/√Hz), unity-gain stable, older generation process. | Higher distortion (–82dBc at 5MHz); less suitable for 14-bit ADC buffering or professional video. | Choose OPA642 only for cost-sensitive legacy designs where 400MHz bandwidth and –93dBc are not required. |
Compared with OPA842ID, OPA843 offers superior noise and bandwidth but sacrifices unity-gain stability, while OPA642 trades off distortion and noise for broader legacy support - making OPA842ID the optimal balance of speed, linearity, and design simplicity for G = +1 to +10 applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for OPA842ID?
The OPA842ID supports a maximum operating supply voltage of ±6V, with specified operation from ±3.5V to ±6V. At ±5V, it draws 20.2mA quiescent current and delivers full AC/DC performance across –40°C to +85°C. Exceeding ±6V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings.
Does OPA842ID require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, OPA842ID is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and operates robustly at G = +1 without external components. This is confirmed in the datasheet's FEATURES section and validated by 400MHz unity-gain bandwidth and stable frequency response plots (Figures 1–4). External compensation is unnecessary and not recommended.
Can OPA842ID drive a 75Ω video load directly?
Yes, OPA842ID can drive a 75Ω video load directly when configured as a G = +2 line driver, delivering ±3.0V output swing into 100Ω and maintaining 0.003%/0.008° differential gain/phase. For 75Ω systems, replace 50Ω resistors in reference circuits (e.g., Figure 37) with 75Ω values and verify layout parasitics do not degrade flatness above 5MHz.
What is the typical input offset voltage for OPA842ID?
The typical input offset voltage for OPA842ID is ±0.30mV at +25°C, with a maximum of ±1.5mV over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. This low offset supports precision dc-coupled applications such as sensor signal conditioning and active filter DC biasing without significant calibration overhead.
How does OPA842ID perform when buffering the ADS850 ADC?
OPA842ID is explicitly referenced in the datasheet as an interface solution for the ADS850 14-bit ADC. With 22ns 0.01% settling time, 2.6nV/√Hz noise, and >92dB SFDR at 5MHz, it preserves the ADS850's dynamic range without degradation - confirmed by the front-page application circuit and SBOS267D Section "Buffering High-Performance ADCs".
