Product details
Overview
OPA856IDSGR from Texas Instruments is a 1.1-GHz unity-gain bandwidth, bipolar-input operational amplifier optimized for transimpedance and high-speed voltage amplification in optical time-of-flight (ToF) systems. It delivers 0.9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 350 V/µs slew rate, and operates from 3.3 V to 5.25 V supply - enabling high-bandwidth photodiode signal conditioning in LIDAR receiver front ends.
For engineers reviewing the OPA856IDSGR datasheet, OPA856IDSGR pinout, OPA856IDSGR application, or OPA856IDSGR equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-noise, wideband analog signal acquisition where closed-loop bandwidth >200 MHz and integrated input-referred noise <1.2 nV/√Hz are required in photodetector interfaces.
Technical Context
The OPA856IDSGR implements a voltage-feedback op amp architecture with bipolar input stage, delivering 1.1 GHz gain-bandwidth product and 110 MHz large-signal bandwidth at 2 VPP. Its feedback (FB) pin-internally tied to the output-enables compact, low-parasitic feedback routing directly adjacent to the inverting input (IN–), isolated by an NC pin to suppress capacitive coupling.
Designed specifically for optical ToF receivers, it interfaces with time-to-digital converters (e.g., TDC7201) and differential ADC drivers (e.g., THS4541), supporting transimpedance configurations with photodiode capacitances up to 20 pF while maintaining >135 MHz closed-loop bandwidth and <135 nARMS integrated input-referred noise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain bandwidth | 1.1 GHz - enables stable unity-gain operation with >175 MHz 0.1-dB flatness for precision pulse fidelity. |
| Input voltage noise | 0.9 nV/√Hz at 1 MHz - minimizes contribution to total system noise floor in weak-signal photodiode applications. |
| Slew rate | 350 V/µs - supports accurate reproduction of sub-ns optical pulses (e.g., OTDR, LIDAR return signals). |
| Input capacitance | 0.7 pF differential / 0.4 pF common-mode - reduces phase margin degradation in high-Z photodiode nodes. |
| Supply range | 3.3 V to 5.25 V - compatible with standard industrial and automotive single-supply rails, including 3.3 V and 5 V systems. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood, industrial, and outdoor LIDAR environments. |
| Power-down current | 70–85 µA - enables low-power idle mode in battery-operated drone or robotic vision systems. |
Pinout & Package
OPA856IDSGR is housed in an 8-pin WSON (DSG) package measuring 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm with exposed thermal pad. The package supports high-frequency layout integrity via optimized pin spacing and dedicated FB pin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - FB | Feedback connection | Internally tied to output; enables direct, low-inductance RF routing to IN– without crossing package edges. |
| 2 - NC | No connect | Floating isolation pin; increases physical separation between FB and IN– to reduce high-frequency capacitive coupling. |
| 3 - IN– | Inverting input | Primary input node for transimpedance configuration; low 0.7 pF differential capacitance preserves stability. |
| 4 - IN+ | Noninverting input | Used for bias cancellation or reference level setting; common-mode range extends to within 1.1 V of rails. |
| 5 - VS– | Negative supply | Ground or negative rail; thermal pad must be connected to VS– for optimal thermal performance. |
| 6 - OUT | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±80 mA linearly; swing limited to ~3 V for optimal slew rate and noise trade-off. |
| 7 - VS+ | Positive supply | 3.3 V to 5.25 V input; PSRR+ >80 dB ensures immunity to supply ripple in noisy digital environments. |
| 8 - PD | Power-down control | Logic-compatible enable: <0.65 V = off (85 µA), >1.5 V = active; 15 ns turnon/250 ns turnoff support burst-mode operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized TIA layout topology | FB pin adjacent to IN– with NC isolation reduces parasitic CFB–IN–, enabling stable >200 MHz closed-loop bandwidth with 10–20 pF photodiode capacitance. |
| Bipolar input stage | Delivers 0.9 nV/√Hz noise and –15 µA typical input bias current - ideal for low-leakage photodiode and SiPM interfaces requiring minimal DC error. |
| High-speed power-down | 250 ns turnoff and 15 ns turnon allow precise gating of amplifier activity during laser pulse windows, reducing system power by >99% in standby. |
| Thermal-enhanced WSON | Exposed thermal pad connected to VS– achieves RθJB = 45 °C/W - critical for maintaining <125°C junction temperature in compact LIDAR modules. |
| Robust ESD protection | ±1500 V HBM/CDM rating on all pins - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parametric shift. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-noise amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA855IDSGR | Higher minimum stable gain (7 V/V vs 1 V/V); 0.98 nV/√Hz noise; 8 GHz GBWP but requires gain ≥7 for stability. | Not suitable for unity-gain TIA configurations; better for fixed-gain post-amplification stages. | Select OPA855IDSGR only when closed-loop gain ≥7 V/V is acceptable and higher GBWP justifies reduced noise margin. |
| LMH5401RTWT | Differential output; 18 GHz GBWP; 2.2 nV/√Hz noise; requires external common-mode feedback network. | Designed for driving high-speed ADCs directly; lacks integrated FB pin and photodiode-optimized input capacitance. | Choose LMH5401RTWT when driving fully differential ADC inputs with >1 GSPS sampling; not drop-in for single-ended TIA designs. |
Compared with OPA855IDSGR and LMH5401RTWT, the OPA856IDSGR uniquely combines unity-gain stability, 0.9 nV/√Hz noise, and photodiode-optimized pinout - making it the only option among the three for low-capacitance, single-supply, unity-gain transimpedance amplifiers in portable ToF systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum photodiode capacitance supported by OPA856IDSGR in transimpedance configuration?
The OPA856IDSGR maintains >135 MHz closed-loop bandwidth with integrated input-referred noise <135 nARMS for photodiode capacitances up to 20 pF when configured with RF = 5 kΩ, as validated in Figure 1 of the SBOS623 datasheet. Stability is preserved across this range due to its low 0.7 pF differential input capacitance and FB/IN– pin isolation.
Does OPA856IDSGR require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA856IDSGR is internally compensated for unity-gain stability, with 57° phase margin verified in Figure 8-5 of the datasheet. It operates stably at G = 1 V/V without external compensation components, unlike the OPA855IDSGR which requires minimum gain of 7 V/V.
Can OPA856IDSGR operate from a single 3.3-V supply?
Yes, OPA856IDSGR is fully specified for 3.3 V to 5.25 V total supply range. At 3.3 V, it delivers VOH = 2.4 V and VOL = 1.15 V (typical), with common-mode input range extending from 1.1 V to 2.9 V - sufficient for midsupply-biased photodiode interfaces in space-constrained 3.3-V systems.
How does the FB pin improve PCB layout for high-frequency TIA designs?
The FB pin (Pin 1) on OPA856IDSGR allows the feedback resistor to route directly to the adjacent IN– pin (Pin 3) on the same side of the package, minimizing loop area and parasitic inductance. Combined with the NC pin (Pin 2) isolating FB from IN–, this reduces high-frequency capacitive coupling that could degrade phase margin in >200 MHz designs.
What is the typical power-down quiescent current of OPA856IDSGR?
The typical power-down quiescent current of OPA856IDSGR is 70–85 µA, as specified in Section 7.5 of the SBOS623 datasheet. This low standby current enables energy-efficient burst-mode operation in battery-powered LIDAR and drone vision systems where the amplifier is gated synchronously with laser pulses.
