Product details
Overview
OPA842IDBVRG4 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 third-harmonic distortion at 5MHz, and 22ns 0.01% settling time - enabling precision buffering of 14-bit, 10MSPS ADCs like the ADS850 in professional video and test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA842IDBVRG4 datasheet, OPA842IDBVRG4 pinout, OPA842IDBVRG4 application, or OPA842IDBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained layouts, ±5V supply operation, differential gain/phase error of 0.003%/0.008°, and verified performance driving capacitive loads up to 100pF with external series isolation.
Technical Context
The OPA842IDBVRG4 employs a two-stage voltage-feedback architecture that achieves unity-gain stability without external compensation while maintaining 200MHz gain-bandwidth product and 110dB open-loop gain. Its low 2.6nV/√Hz voltage noise and 2.7pA/√Hz current noise support high dynamic range across wideband applications.
It features rail-to-rail output swing capability (±2.8V into 100Ω), 100mA output drive, and robust thermal design with 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in the SOT-23-5 package - making it suitable for continuous high-frequency operation in compact analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 400MHz - enables stable G=1 configurations for wideband signal routing without peaking or oscillation. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 200MHz - defines maximum closed-loop bandwidth achievable at higher gains (e.g., ~40MHz at G=–8). |
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.6nV/√Hz - ensures minimal added noise when amplifying low-level signals in high-resolution data acquisition. |
| Harmonic Distortion | –93dBc (3rd harmonic, 5MHz, 2VPP) - preserves signal fidelity in professional audio and imaging systems. |
| Settling Time | 22ns to 0.01% - meets timing requirements for 10MSPS ADC interfaces with 14-bit accuracy. |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.003%/0.008° - satisfies broadcast-grade NTSC video line driving specifications. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±3.5V to ±6V - supports flexible system-level power architecture including ±5V standard rails. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (DBV) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; 5-pin surface-mount configuration optimized for high-frequency layout and minimal parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN–) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; requires matched impedance for bias current cancellation in precision circuits. |
| 2 (IN+) | Noninverting Input | Differential input node; DC path must be maintained (e.g., via 147Ω resistor to ground in inverting config). |
| 3 (OUT) | Output | Capable of ±100mA sourcing/sinking; requires series isolation resistor when driving >10pF capacitive loads. |
| 4 (–VS) | Negative Supply | Connect to clean –5V rail with local 0.1μF decoupling; critical for PSRR and distortion performance. |
| 5 (+VS) | Positive Supply | Connect to clean +5V rail with local 0.1μF decoupling; decoupling placement directly impacts 400MHz bandwidth stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Stability | No external compensation required - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in G=1 buffer designs. |
| Low Distortion Architecture | –93dBc 3rd harmonic at 5MHz enables SFDR-critical ADC driver applications without degrading converter performance. |
| High Output Drive | ±100mA output current supports direct driving of 50Ω/75Ω transmission lines and heavy capacitive loads. |
| Professional Video Performance | 0.003%/0.008° differential gain/phase meets SMPTE/NTSC broadcast standards for composite video distribution. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage buffer providing fast settling, low noise, and high SFDR to preserve ADC ENOB. Use Value: 22ns 0.01% settling ensures accurate sampling window alignment; 2.6nV/√Hz noise avoids SNR degradation in 82dB SFDR converter interface. | Use Scenario: Amplifying and distributing NTSC composite video signals across multiple 75Ω coaxial cables in broadcast monitoring gear. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unity-gain stable line driver delivering flat frequency response up to 5.5MHz with minimal color distortion. Use Value: 0.003%/0.008° differential gain/phase error maintains chroma fidelity; ±2.8V swing into 75Ω sustains signal integrity over long cable runs. |
| Low-Distortion IF Amplifier | Active Filter Configuration |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-linearity gain stage preserving modulation integrity in QAM/QPSK signal paths. Use Value: –93dBc 3rd harmonic at 5MHz and 44dBm IP3 prevent adjacent-channel interference; 400MHz GBW supports multi-octave tuning. | Use Scenario: Implementing a 5th-order Chebyshev low-pass filter with 20MHz cutoff in medical ultrasound beamforming.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA843IDBVR | Lower 2.0nV/√Hz noise, 800MHz GBP, but not unity-gain stable - requires minimum G=+5. | Preferred for G≥5 video gain stages or ultra-low-noise IF amplifiers where stability margin permits. | Select OPA843IDBVR only when gain ≥5 is acceptable and lower noise justifies reduced flexibility. |
| OPA642U | Same SOT-23-5 package, 350MHz GBP, 3.1nV/√Hz noise, unity-gain stable - legacy TI part with broader temp range (–40°C to +125°C). | Better suited for automotive or extended-temperature industrial control where OPA842IDBVRG4's +85°C max is insufficient. | Choose OPA642U when extended temperature operation is mandatory and 350MHz bandwidth suffices. |
Compared with OPA842IDBVRG4, OPA843IDBVR offers superior noise and bandwidth but sacrifices unity-gain stability, while OPA642U trades 50MHz bandwidth and higher noise for extended temperature capability - making OPA842IDBVRG4 the optimal balance for 400MHz, unity-gain, industrial-grade video and ADC buffering.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA842IDBVRG4 can drive without instability?
The OPA842IDBVRG4 requires external series isolation (e.g., 20–50Ω) when driving >10pF capacitive loads. As shown in Figure 15 of the SBOS267D datasheet, stable operation up to 100pF is achievable with proper RS selection - but direct connection to >10pF loads risks peaking or oscillation due to phase margin erosion. Always verify stability with actual PCB layout and load capacitance.
Does the OPA842IDBVRG4 support single-supply operation?
No - the OPA842IDBVRG4 is specified only for dual-supply operation from ±3.5V to ±6V. Its input common-mode range extends to ±3.2V and output swing reaches ±2.8V into 100Ω with ±5V supplies. Single-supply use is not characterized or guaranteed; for rail-to-rail input/output single-supply applications, consider TI's OPA355 or OPA837 families instead.
How does the OPA842IDBVRG4 compare to the OPA642 in ADC driver applications?
The OPA842IDBVRG4 provides 400MHz unity-gain bandwidth vs. OPA642's 350MHz, 2.6nV/√Hz vs. 3.1nV/√Hz input noise, and superior 0.01% settling (22ns vs. 25ns). Both are unity-gain stable and pin-compatible in SOT-23-5, but OPA842IDBVRG4 delivers higher SFDR headroom for 14-bit, 10MSPS ADCs like the ADS850 - especially critical in test instrumentation where dynamic range is paramount.
Is the OPA842IDBVRG4 suitable for driving 75Ω video cables?
Yes - the OPA842IDBVRG4 is explicitly characterized for 75Ω video line driving per Figure 26 (differential gain/phase) and Application Note section "Video Line Driving". With G=+2 configuration and 75Ω series termination, it delivers 0.003%/0.008° NTSC performance and ±2.8V swing into 75Ω - meeting broadcast-grade requirements for SD/HD composite video distribution systems.
What thermal considerations apply to the OPA842IDBVRG4 in continuous high-frequency operation?
The OPA842IDBVRG4 has a thermal resistance of 150°C/W (θJA) in the SOT-23-5 package. At ±5V supply and 20.2mA quiescent current, power dissipation is ~202mW - resulting in ~30°C junction rise above ambient. For reliable continuous operation at full 400MHz bandwidth, ensure PCB copper area under the exposed pad and maintain ambient ≤+70°C; derate output current above +85°C case temperature per datasheet limits.
