Product details
Overview
OPA843IDR from Texas Instruments is a wideband, low-distortion, medium-gain voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for high dynamic range signal conditioning. It delivers 260MHz small-signal bandwidth at G = +5, 800MHz gain-bandwidth product, –96dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz, and 2.0nV/√Hz input voltage noise - enabling precision ADC/DAC buffering and wideband transimpedance amplification in test instrumentation and professional audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA843IDR datasheet, OPA843IDR pinout, OPA843IDR application, or OPA843IDR equivalent, key selection considerations include its SO-8 package thermal resistance (θJA = 125°C/W), ±100mA output drive capability, fast 10.5ns 0.01% settling time, and verified performance in differential driver configurations up to 8VP-P with <–100dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion.
Technical Context
The OPA843IDR employs a two-stage voltage-feedback architecture with classic differential input, delivering high open-loop gain (110dB) and exceptional DC precision alongside RF-grade AC performance. Its design balances high slew rate (1000V/µs min), low input offset voltage (±0.3mV max), and robust power-supply rejection (100dB min) to support demanding mixed-signal interfaces.
This amplifier operates over ±4V to ±6V supplies with specified performance from –40°C to +85°C. Its SO-8 package supports stable operation into capacitive loads up to 100pF when compensated with series output resistance (RS), and it maintains >65MHz 0.1dB gain flatness at G = +5 into 100Ω loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 800MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain ≥+5 with >260MHz bandwidth and predictable phase margin. |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +5) | 260MHz min - supports high-fidelity signal amplification up to UHF frequencies in IF stages and receiver chains. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.0nV/√Hz max above 1MHz - critical for preserving SNR in low-level sensor and photodiode transimpedance applications. |
| Harmonic Distortion (5MHz) | –96dBc 3rd-harmonic max into 500Ω - ensures >80dB SFDR in differential configurations for 12–16-bit converter interfaces. |
| Settling Time (0.01%) | 10.5ns typ for 2V step - meets timing requirements for fast-settling ADC drivers and pulse-amplification circuits. |
| Output Current Drive | ±100mA min - sustains full-scale output swing into 100Ω loads without clipping in active filter and line-driver designs. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 110dB min - provides high loop gain for accurate gain setting and low gain error in precision buffer applications. |
Pinout & Package
OPA843IDR is housed in an SO-8 (D) surface-mount package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connection | Internally unconnected - must remain floating or tied to ground only if required by PCB layout EMI mitigation. |
| 2 | Inverting Input | Differential input node; requires matched trace length and impedance control for optimal CMRR and distortion performance. |
| 3 | Noninverting Input | Differential input node; referenced to system ground or common-mode bias in single-supply configurations. |
| 4 | –VS | Negative supply rail; decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for low-impedance AC return path. |
| 5 | Output | Class-AB output stage; capable of ±100mA sourcing/sinking and driving 100Ω loads with <0.01% settling error. |
| 6 | +VS | Positive supply rail; decoupled identically to –VS; supports ±4V to ±6V operation with 20.2mA typical quiescent current. |
| 7 | No Connection | Internally unconnected - no external connection permitted per TI specification. |
| 8 | No Connection | Internally unconnected - not used for thermal pad attachment; thermal pad is separate and must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Speed Precision Architecture | Combines 260MHz bandwidth with ±0.3mV input offset and 110dB open-loop gain - enabling DC-coupled wideband amplification without trimming. |
| Ultra-Low Distortion Output Stage | Delivers –96dBc 3rd-harmonic at 5MHz into 500Ω - supports high-SFDR differential drivers for 14-bit ADCs up to 8VP-P. |

Use Value: Achieves 33dBm 3rd-order intercept at 44MHz while dissipating only 200mW - outperforming fixed-gain IF amps on intercept-per-watt basis. |
| Wideband Transimpedance Amplifier | Professional Audio Line Driver |
Use Scenario: Converting photocurrent from a 20pF silicon photodiode into voltage with 10kΩ transimpedance gain and 24MHz –3dB bandwidth.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA842IDR | Lower GBW (200MHz), higher input voltage noise (2.6nV/√Hz), same SO-8 package and pinout. | Less suitable for >5MHz ADC buffering or 3rd-order intercept–critical IF stages due to reduced bandwidth and noise floor. | Select OPA842IDR only when 200MHz bandwidth suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs 0.6nV/√Hz noise advantage of OPA843IDR. |
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Higher slew rate (1800V/µs), lower input offset (±100µV), but lower GBW (550MHz) and no guaranteed 0.01% settling spec. | Better for ultrafast pulse amplification but less validated for precision 12–16-bit converter interface where OPA843IDR's 10.5ns settling is documented. | Choose LMH6629MA/NOPB for sub-5ns transient response needs; retain OPA843IDR where datasheet-verified 0.01% settling and harmonic distortion specs are mandatory. |
Compared with OPA842IDR and LMH6629MA/NOPB, the OPA843IDR uniquely balances 800MHz GBW, 2.0nV/√Hz noise, and –96dBc distortion in a production-qualified SO-8 package - making it the preferred choice for high-SFDR, medium-gain, wideband signal chain nodes where both AC and DC precision are concurrently required.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for the OPA843IDR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the OPA843IDR is ±6.5VDC, but the specified operating range is ±4V to ±6V. Operation at ±6V is supported with 22.5mA maximum quiescent current and full AC/DC performance across –40°C to +85°C. Exceeding ±6V risks permanent damage per TI's absolute maximum ratings.
Does the OPA843IDR require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No - the OPA843IDR is not unity-gain stable. It is optimized for minimum stable gain of +3 (noninverting) or –1 (inverting). For G = +1 applications, external compensation (e.g., dominant-pole capacitor across feedback resistor) is required. The datasheet specifies stable operation at G = +5 without compensation, with 260MHz bandwidth and >65MHz 0.1dB flatness.
Can the OPA843IDR drive a 50Ω load directly?
Yes - the OPA843IDR delivers ±100mA output current and is characterized into 100Ω and 50Ω loads. At G = +5 with RL = 50Ω, it sustains ±3.0V output swing (min) and maintains –96dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion. Layout best practices (short traces, local 0.1µF decoupling, ground plane) are essential to preserve this performance.
How does the OPA843IDR compare to the OPA643 in terms of upgrade path?
The OPA843IDR is explicitly positioned as an OPA643 upgrade, offering 2.5× higher GBW (800MHz vs 320MHz), 40% lower input voltage noise (2.0nV/√Hz vs 3.3nV/√Hz), and –96dBc vs –88dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz. It retains pin compatibility with OPA643 in SO-8 packages, enabling drop-in replacement in most existing layouts with improved dynamic range.
What thermal considerations apply to the OPA843IDR in SO-8 package?
The OPA843IDR in SO-8 (D) package has θJA = 125°C/W. With 20.2mA quiescent current at ±5V (200mW dissipation), junction temperature rise is ~25°C above ambient under still-air conditions. For continuous 100mA output into 100Ω, power dissipation increases to ~500mW - requiring thermal vias to inner ground planes and/or airflow to maintain TJ < 125°C.
