Product details
Overview
OPA846IDBVTG4 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 ±150µV input offset voltage - enabling precision front-end amplification in ultrasound channel receivers and ADC preamplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA846IDBVTG4 datasheet, OPA846IDBVTG4 pinout, OPA846IDBVTG4 application, or OPA846IDBVTG4 equivalent, this page provides verified pin configuration, gain-stability boundaries (stable ≥ G = +7), transimpedance design guidance, thermal resistance (θJA = 150°C/W), and direct alternatives with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The OPA846IDBVTG4 uses a classical differential input stage followed by two forward-gain stages and a high-power output stage, delivering exceptional linearity and DC accuracy. Its voltage-feedback architecture supports standard op-amp configurations while maintaining stability down to closed-loop gains of +7.
It achieves 1750MHz gain-bandwidth product and flat frequency response up to 140MHz at G = +10 with 0.1dB gain flatness. External compensation enables stable operation below minimum gain, extending utility in low-gain, high-slew-rate transimpedance and differential receiver applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (G = +10) | 400MHz - supports >200MHz analog signal chains for 12–16-bit ADC drivers |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.2nV/√Hz - enables ultra-low-noise transimpedance amplification with photodiode detectors |
| Slew Rate | 625V/µs - preserves fast transient fidelity in pulse-based ultrasound and security sensor front ends |
| Harmonic Distortion | –100dBc (2nd, 5MHz, RL = 500Ω) - meets stringent SFDR requirements in VDSL and differential receivers |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1750MHz - allows high closed-loop gain (>G = +40) while retaining >40MHz bandwidth |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±150µV - ensures <±4.1mV worst-case output DC error in 10kΩ transimpedance designs |
| Supply Current | 12.6mA - balances power efficiency with wideband performance in portable medical and test equipment |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (DBV), 5-pin surface-mount, 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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 and higher supply current (18mA) | Better for ultra-low-noise transimpedance where gain ≥ +15 is acceptable; unsuitable for G = +7–+10 ADC driver use | Select OPA847 only when noise dominates distortion and gain can be increased to ≥ +15 |
| LMH6624 | Higher input voltage noise (1.9nV/√Hz), lower bandwidth (1.5GHz GBP), but stable at unity gain and lower cost | Acceptable for moderate-dynamic-range receivers where 400MHz bandwidth is not required | Choose LMH6624 for cost-sensitive, unity-gain-stable designs where 1.2nV/√Hz noise is not mandatory |
Compared with OPA846IDBVTG4, OPA847 trades gain stability for lower noise and higher speed, while LMH6624 sacrifices bandwidth and noise performance for broader gain flexibility and lower BOM cost - making OPA846IDBVTG4 the optimal balance for G = +7 to +10, 400MHz, low-distortion applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for OPA846IDBVTG4?
The OPA846IDBVTG4 is specified as stable for closed-loop gains ≥ +7. At G = +7, it achieves 500MHz bandwidth with typical peaking <0.5dB. Operation below G = +7 requires external compensation, such as the low-gain inverting network shown in Figure 5 of the SBOS250E datasheet. The OPA846IDBVTG4 does not support unity-gain or G = +2 configurations without modification.
Can OPA846IDBVTG4 be used in transimpedance amplifier circuits?
Yes - the OPA846IDBVTG4 is explicitly optimized for wideband transimpedance applications. Its 1.2nV/√Hz input voltage noise and 2.8pA/√Hz input current noise, combined with 1750MHz GBP, enable flat, stable responses up to ~23MHz with 10kΩ feedback and 50pF photodiode capacitance. The datasheet provides Equation 1 and Figure 3 for precise CF calculation.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of OPA846IDBVTG4 in its SOT-23-5 package?
The OPA846IDBVTG4 in the DBV (SOT-23-5) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W, measured on a standard JEDEC 2-layer board. This value assumes no copper pour under the package. With 1-in² 2-oz copper beneath the exposed pad area, θJA improves to ~65°C/W - critical for sustaining 12.6mA supply current at +85°C ambient.
Does OPA846IDBVTG4 support single-supply operation?
No - the OPA846IDBVTG4 is characterized and specified only for dual-supply operation (±5V typical, ±6.5V absolute max). Its input common-mode range extends to ±3.2V and output swing to ±3.4V with ≥400Ω load, but rail-to-rail input/output capability is not provided. Single-supply use would violate the specified operating conditions and degrade distortion and bandwidth performance.
How does OPA846IDBVTG4 compare to OPA686 in ADC driver applications?
The OPA846IDBVTG4 replaces the OPA686 with 2.5× higher bandwidth (400MHz vs 160MHz at G = +10), 35% lower input voltage noise (1.2nV/√Hz vs 1.85nV/√Hz), and superior harmonic distortion (–100dBc vs –88dBc at 5MHz). It also offers tighter DC specs: ±150µV VOS vs ±300µV and 625V/µs slew rate vs 470V/µs - making OPA846IDBVTG4 the preferred upgrade for 14–16-bit, >20MSPS ADC interfaces.
