Product details
Overview
OPA846IDBVT from Texas Instruments is a wideband, low-noise, voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for high-dynamic-range signal conditioning. It delivers 400MHz bandwidth at G = +10, 1.2nV/√Hz input voltage noise, –100dBc 2nd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz, 625V/µs slew rate, and stable operation down to gain ≥7 - enabling precision ADC preamplification, ultrasound channel amplification, and VDSL line reception.
For engineers reviewing the OPA846IDBVT datasheet, OPA846IDBVT pinout, OPA846IDBVT application, or OPA846IDBVT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin-level design meaning, confirmed transimpedance and differential receiver use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The OPA846IDBVT employs a classical differential input stage followed by two forward-gain stages and a high-power output stage, delivering exceptional DC accuracy (±150µV VIO) alongside wideband AC performance. Its voltage-feedback architecture supports standard op-amp configurations while maintaining stability at gains ≥7 and enabling flat frequency response up to 140MHz (0.1dB gain flatness, G = +10).
It achieves ultra-low distortion via optimized internal biasing and output stage linearity, with –100dBc 2nd-harmonic at 5MHz into 500Ω and 44dBm 3rd-order intercept. The 1.75GHz gain-bandwidth product enables high-gain, wideband operation - e.g., 110MHz at G = +20 - while its 12.6mA quiescent current balances speed and power efficiency.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Bandwidth (G = +10) | 400MHz - supports >200MHz small-signal bandwidth in ADC driver and ultrasound front-end applications. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.2nV/√Hz - enables high-sensitivity transimpedance amplification where diode capacitance dominates noise floor. |
| Slew Rate | 625V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast-rising pulses in security sensor front ends and digital communications receivers. |

| Low-Noise Differential Receiver | VDSL Line Receiver |
Use Scenario: Receiving balanced 100Ω differential signals in broadband security sensor front ends operating from 1–50MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential-to-single-ended converter with GD = +20V/V; uses dual OPA846IDBVT in matched layout for CMRR >90dB to 10MHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband, low-noise op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA847 | Lower input voltage noise (0.85nV/√Hz), higher GBP (3900MHz), but unstable below G = +15; requires careful compensation. | Better for ultra-low-noise transimpedance stages >50MHz; unsuitable for G = +7–+10 stable ADC drivers without redesign. | Select OPA847 only when noise budget demands sub-1.0nV/√Hz and gain can be ≥+15; verify layout stability per SBOS347. |
| LMH6624 | Higher input voltage noise (1.9nV/√Hz), lower GBP (1.5GHz), but stable down to G = +1; wider supply range (±2.5V to ±6V). | Preferred for single-supply or unity-gain buffer applications; insufficient SFDR for 14-bit+ ADC preamps above 10MHz. | Choose LMH6624 for cost-sensitive, low-gain, or single-supply designs where 1.9nV/√Hz noise is acceptable; avoid for >12-bit high-frequency sampling. |
Compared with OPA846IDBVT, OPA847 offers superior noise and bandwidth but sacrifices gain flexibility, while LMH6624 trades noise and speed for broader supply compatibility and unity-gain stability - making OPA846IDBVT the optimal balance for G = +7 to +10, ±5V, high-SFDR applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for OPA846IDBVT?
The OPA846IDBVT is unconditionally stable for closed-loop gains ≥ +7 in noninverting configuration. At G = +7, it delivers 500MHz bandwidth with <1dB peaking. Gains below +7 require external compensation (e.g., CF/CS network per Figure 5 in SBOS250E) to maintain phase margin and flat response. This stability boundary is measured and specified across –40°C to +85°C.
Can OPA846IDBVT be used in single-supply applications?
OPA846IDBVT is characterized for ±5V operation and supports input common-mode range from ±3.2V (min) - making true single-supply use (e.g., 0V to +10V) impractical without level-shifting circuitry. Its input stage is not rail-to-rail, and output swing is limited to ±3.3V into 100Ω. For single-supply designs, consider TI's OPA837 or OPA836, which feature rail-to-rail I/O and wider VCM range.
How does OPA846IDBVT compare to OPA686 in transimpedance applications?
OPA846IDBVT improves upon OPA686 with 1.2nV/√Hz vs. 1.9nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 1750MHz vs. 1000MHz GBP, and –100dBc vs. –85dBc 2nd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz. In photodiode transimpedance designs with CD >20pF, OPA846IDBVT reduces equivalent input noise current by up to 40% - directly increasing system SNR in optical sensing and LIDAR front ends.
What decoupling is required for OPA846IDBVT at 400MHz operation?
For stable 400MHz operation, OPA846IDBVT requires local 0.1µF ceramic + 6.8µF tantalum (or low-ESR polymer) decoupling on each supply pin, placed ≤5mm from the DBV package. A ground plane beneath the SOT-23-5 is mandatory; vias must connect supply traces directly to inner ground layers. RF layout guidelines in SBOS250E Section 9.1 specify 50Ω source/load matching and minimized parasitic inductance in feedback paths.
Is OPA846IDBVT pin-compatible with other SOT-23-5 op-amps?
No - OPA846IDBVT uses a nonstandard SOT-23-5 pinout: Pin 1 = +VS, Pin 2 = –IN, Pin 3 = OUT, Pin 4 = –VS, Pin 5 = +IN. Most generic SOT-23-5 op-amps (e.g., OPA355, LMV791) assign Pin 1 = OUT or Pin 1 = –IN. Swapping packages without verifying pin mapping will cause catastrophic failure. Always confirm pinout against SBOS250E Figure 7 before PCB layout.
