Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Input pins are diode-clamped to the power-supply rails. Input signals that can swing more than 0.5 V beyond the supply rails must be
current-limited to 10 mA or less. The input voltage and output negative-voltage ratings can be exceeded if the input and output current
ratings are followed.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The OPA164x family of operational amplifiers combine an ultra low noise JFET input stage with a rail-to-rail
output stage to provide high overall performance in audio applications. The internal topology is selected
specifically to deliver extremely low distortion, consume limited power, and accommodate small packages. These
amplifiers are well-suited for analog signal processing applications such as active filter circuits, pre-amplifiers,
and tone controls. The unique input stage design and semiconductor processes used in this device deliver
extremely high performance even in applications with high source impedance and wide common-mode voltage
swings.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Phase Reversal Protection
The OPA164x family has internal phase-reversal protection. Many op amps exhibit phase reversal when the
input is driven beyond the linear common-mode range. This condition is most often encountered in noninverting
circuits when the input is driven beyond the specified common-mode voltage range, causing the output to
reverse into the opposite rail. The input of the OPA164x prevents phase reversal with excessive common-mode
voltage. Instead, the appropriate rail limits the output voltage. This performance is shown in Figure 29.

7.3.2 Output Current Limit
The output current of the OPA164x series is limited by internal circuitry to 36 mA and –30 mA (sourcing and
sinking), to protect the device if the output is accidentally shorted. This short-circuit current depends on
temperature; see Figure 26.
Although uncommon for most modern audio applications to require 600-Ω load drive capability, many audio
operational amplifier applications continue to specify the total harmonic distortion (THD+N) at 600-Ω load for
comparative purposes. Figure 7 and Figure 8 provide typical THD+N measurement curves for the OPA164x
series, where the output drives a 3-VRMS signal into a 600-Ω load. However, correct device operation cannot be
ensured when driving 600-Ω loads at full supply. Depending on supply voltage and temperature, this operating
condition can possibly trigger the output current limit circuitry of the device.
7.3.3 EMI Rejection Ratio (EMIRR)
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection ratio, or EMIRR, describes the EMI immunity of operational
amplifiers. An adverse effect that is common to many operational amplifiers is a change in the offset voltage as a
result of RF signal rectification. An operational amplifier that is more efficient at rejecting this change in offset as
a result of EMI has a higher EMIRR and is quantified by a decibel value. Measuring EMIRR can be performed in
many ways, but this document provides the EMIRR IN+, which specifically describes the EMIRR performance
when the RF signal is applied to the noninverting input pin of the operational amplifier. In general, only the
noninverting input is tested for EMIRR for the following three reasons:
• Operational amplifier input pins are known to be the most sensitive to EMI, and typically rectify RF signals
better than the supply or output pins.
• The noninverting and inverting operational amplifier inputs have symmetrical physical layouts and exhibit
nearly matching EMIRR performance.
• EMIRR is easier to measure on noninverting pins than on other pins because the noninverting input pin can
be isolated on a printed-circuit-board (PCB). This isolation allows the RF signal to be applied directly to the
noninverting input pin with no complex interactions from other components or connecting PCB traces.
A more formal discussion of the EMIRR IN+ definition and test method is provided in application report EMI
Rejection Ratio of Operational Amplifiers (SBOA128), available for download at www.ti.com.

7.3.3.1 EMIRR IN+ Test Configuration
Figure 31 shows the circuit configuration for testing the EMIRR IN+. An RF source is connected to the
operational amplifier noninverting input pin using a transmission line. The operational amplifier is configured in a
unity-gain buffer topology with the output connected to a low-pass filter (LPF) and a digital multimeter (DMM). A
large impedance mismatch at the operational amplifier input causes a voltage reflection; however, this effect is
characterized and accounted for when determining the EMIRR IN+. The resulting dc offset voltage is sampled
and measured by the multimeter. The LPF isolates the multimeter from residual RF signals that can interfere with
multimeter accuracy. See EMI Rejection Ratio of Operational Amplifiers (SBOA128) for more details.

7.4.1 Operating Voltage
The OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 series of operational amplifiers can be used with single or dual supplies
from an operating range of VS = 4.5 V (±2.25 V) and up to VS = 36 V (±18 V). These devices do not require
symmetrical supplies; only a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V (±2.25 V) is required. For VS less than ±3.5 V, the
common-mode input range does not include midsupply. Supply voltages higher than 40 V can permanently
damage the device; see the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for more information. Key parameters are specified
over the operating temperature range, TA = –40°C to +85°C. Key parameters that vary over the supply voltage or
temperature range are illustrated in the Typical Characteristics section.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 are unity-gain stable, audio operational amplifiers with very low noise,
input bias current, and input offset voltage. Applications with noisy or high-impedance power supplies require
decoupling capacitors placed close to the device pins. In most cases, 0.1-μF capacitors are adequate. Figure 32
shows a simplified schematic of the OPA1641.

8.1.1 Noise Performance
Figure 33 illustrates the total circuit noise for varying source impedances with the operational amplifier in a unitygain configuration (with no feedback resistor network and therefore no additional noise contributions). The
OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 are shown with total circuit noise calculated. The operational amplifier
contributes both a voltage noise component and a current noise component. The voltage noise is commonly
modeled as a time-varying component of the offset voltage. The current noise is modeled as the time-varying
component of the input bias current and reacts with the source resistance to create a voltage component of
noise. Therefore, the lowest noise operational amplifier for a given application depends on the source
impedance. For low source impedance, current noise is negligible, and voltage noise generally dominates. The
OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 family has both low voltage noise and extremely low current noise because
of the FET input of the operational amplifier. As a result, the current noise contribution of the OPA164x series is
negligible for any practical source impedance, which makes the OPA164x series of amplifiers better choices for
applications with high source impedance.
The equation in Figure 33 illustrates the calculation of the total circuit noise, where:
• en = voltage noise
• In = current noise
• RS = source impedance
• k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.38 × 10–23 J/K
• T = temperature in degrees Kelvin (K)
For more details on calculating noise, see the Basic Noise Calculations section.

8.1.2 Basic Noise Calculations
Low-noise circuit design requires careful analysis of all noise sources. External noise sources can dominate in
many cases; consider the effect of source resistance on overall operational amplifier noise performance. Total
noise of the circuit is the root-sum-square combination of all noise components.
The resistive portion of the source impedance produces thermal noise proportional to the square root of the
resistance. This function is plotted in Figure 33. The source impedance is usually fixed; consequently, select the
operational amplifier and the feedback resistors to minimize the respective contributions to the total noise.
Figure 34 illustrates both noninverting (A) and inverting (B) operational amplifier circuit configurations with gain.
In circuit configurations with gain, the feedback network resistors also contribute noise. In general, the current
noise of the operational amplifier reacts with the feedback resistors to create additional noise components.
However, the extremely low current noise of the OPA164x means that the device current noise contribution can
be neglected.
The feedback resistor values can generally be chosen to make these noise sources negligible. Note that low
impedance feedback resistors do load the output of the amplifier. The equations for total noise are given in
Figure 34 for both configurations.

8.1.3 Total Harmonic Distortion Measurements
The OPA164x series operational amplifiers have excellent distortion characteristics. THD + noise is below
0.00005% (G = 1, VO = 3 VRMS, BW = 80 kHz) throughout the audio frequency range, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a
2-kΩ load (see Figure 7).
The distortion produced by the OPA164x series operational amplifiers is below the measurement limit of many
commercially available distortion analyzers. However, a special test circuit (such as shown in Figure 35) can be
used to extend the measurement capabilities.
Operational amplifier distortion can be considered an internal error source that can be referred to the input.
Figure 35 shows a circuit that causes the operational amplifier distortion to be 101 times (or approximately
40 dB) greater than that normally produced by the operational amplifier. The addition of R3 to the otherwise
standard noninverting amplifier configuration alters the feedback factor or noise gain of the circuit. The closedloop gain is unchanged, but the feedback available for error correction is reduced by a factor of 101, thus
extending the resolution by 101. Note that the input signal and load applied to the operational amplifier are the
same as with conventional feedback without R3. Keep the value of R3 small to minimize any effect on distortion
measurements.
The validity of this technique can be verified by duplicating measurements at high gain or high frequency where
the distortion is within the measurement capability of the test equipment. Measurements for this document were
made with an audio precision system two distortion and noise analyzer that greatly simplifies such repetitive
measurements. The measurement technique can, however, be performed with manual distortion measurement
instruments.

8.1.4 Source Impedance and Distortion
In traditional JFET-input operational amplifiers, the impedance applied to the positive and negative inputs in
noninverting applications must be matched for lowest distortion. Legacy methods for fabricating the JFETs in the
FET input stage exhibit a varying input capacitance with applied common-mode input voltage. In inverting
configurations, the input does not vary with input voltage because the inverting input is held at virtual ground.
However, in noninverting applications, the inputs do vary, and the gate-to-source voltage is not constant. This
effect produces increased distortion as a result of the varying capacitance for unmatched source impedances.
However, the OPA164x family of amplifiers is designed to maintain a constant input capacitance with varying
common-mode voltage to prevent this mechanism of distortion. The variation of input capacitance with commonmode voltage for a traditional amplifier is compared to the OPA164x family in Figure 36.

By stabilizing the input capacitance, the distortion performance of the amplifier is greatly improved for
noninverting configurations with high source impedances. The measured performance of an OPA164x amplifier

8.1.5 Capacitive Load and Stability
The dynamic characteristics of the OPA164x are optimized for commonly encountered gains, loads, and
operating conditions. The combination of low closed-loop gain and high capacitive loads decreases the phase
margin of the amplifier and can lead to gain peaking or oscillations. As a result, heavier capacitive loads must be
isolated from the output. The simplest way to achieve this isolation is to add a small resistor (ROUT equal to 50 Ω,
for example) in series with the output.
Figure 19 and Figure 20 illustrate graphs of Small-Signal Overshoot vs Capacitive Load for several values of
ROUT. Also, see Applications Bulletin AB-028, Feedback Plots Define Op Amp AC Performance (SBOA015)

8.1.6 Power Dissipation and Thermal Protection
The OPA164x series of operational amplifiers are capable of driving 2-kΩ loads with power-supply voltages of up
to ±18 V over the specified temperature range. In a single-supply configuration, where the load is connected to
the negative supply voltage, the minimum load resistance is 2.8 kΩ at a supply voltage of 36 V. For lower supply
voltages (either single-supply or symmetrical supplies), a lower load resistance can be used, as long as the
output current does not exceed 13 mA; otherwise, the device short-circuit current protection circuit can activate.

SBOS484D – DECEMBER 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2016
Internal power dissipation increases when operating at high supply voltages. Copper leadframe construction
used in the OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 series of devices improves heat dissipation compared to
conventional materials. PCB layout can also help reduce a possible increase in junction temperature. Wide
copper traces help dissipate the heat by functioning as an additional heatsink. Temperature rise can be further
minimized by soldering the devices directly to the PCB rather than using a socket.
Although the output current is limited by internal protection circuitry, accidental shorting one or more output
channels of a device can result in excessive heating. For instance, when an output is shorted to mid-supply, the
typical short-circuit current of 36 mA leads to an internal power dissipation of over 600 mW at a supply of ±18 V.
In case of a dual OPA1642 in an VSSOP-8 package (thermal resistance θJA = 180°C/W), such a power
dissipation results in the die temperature to be 220°C above ambient temperature, when both channels are
shorted. This temperature increase will destroy the device.
To prevent such excessive heating that can destroy the device, the OPA164x series has an internal thermal
shutdown circuit that shuts down the device if the die temperature exceeds approximately 180°C. When this
thermal shutdown circuit activates, a built-in hysteresis of 15°C ensures that the die temperature must drop to
approximately 165°C before the device switches on again.
8.1.7 Electrical Overstress
Designers often ask questions about the capability of an operational amplifier to withstand electrical overstress.
These questions tend to focus on the device inputs, but can involve the supply voltage pins or even the output
pin. Each of these different pin functions have electrical stress limits determined by the voltage breakdown
characteristics of the particular semiconductor fabrication process and specific circuits connected to the pin.
Additionally, internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is built into these circuits to protect them from
accidental ESD events both before and during product assembly.
Having a good understanding of this basic ESD circuitry and its relevance to an electrical overstress event is
helpful. Figure 38 illustrates the ESD circuits contained in the OPA164x series (indicated by the dashed line
area). The ESD protection circuitry involves several current-steering diodes connected from the input and output
pins and routed back to the internal power-supply lines where an internal absorption device is connected. This
protection circuitry is intended to remain inactive during normal circuit operation.
An ESD event produces a short duration, high-voltage pulse that is transformed into a short-duration, highcurrent pulse when discharging through a semiconductor device. The ESD protection circuits are designed to
provide a current path around the operational amplifier core to prevent damage. The energy absorbed by the
protection circuitry is then dissipated as heat.
When an ESD voltage develops across two or more of the amplifier device pins, current flows through one or
more of the steering diodes. Depending on the path that the current takes, the absorption device can activate.
The absorption device has a trigger, or threshold voltage, that is above the normal operating voltage of the
OPA164x but below the device breakdown voltage level. When this threshold is exceeded, the absorption device
quickly activates and clamps the voltage across the supply rails to a safe level.
When the operational amplifier connects into a circuit such as the one illustrated in Figure 38, the ESD protection
components are intended to remain inactive and not become involved in the application circuit operation.
However, circumstances can arise where an applied voltage exceeds the operating voltage range of a given pin.
If this condition occurs, some of the internal ESD protection circuits can be biased on and conduct current. Any
such current flow occurs through steering diode paths and rarely involves the absorption device.
Figure 38 depicts a specific example where the input voltage, VIN, exceeds the positive supply voltage (+VS) by
500 mV or more. Much of what happens in the circuit depends on the supply characteristics. If +VS can sink the
current, one of the upper input steering diodes conducts and directs current to +VS. Excessively high current
levels can flow with increasingly higher VIN. As a result, the datasheet specifications recommend that applications
limit the input current to 10 mA.
If the supply is not capable of sinking the current, VIN can begin sourcing current to the operational amplifier, and
then take over as the source of positive supply voltage. The danger in this case is that the voltage can rise to
levels that exceed the operational amplifier absolute maximum ratings.

Another common question involves what happens to the amplifier if an input signal is applied to the input when
the power supplies +VS and –VS are at 0 V. The amplifier behavior depends on the supply characteristic when at
0 V, or at a level below the input signal amplitude. If the supplies appear as high impedance, then the operational
amplifier supply current can be supplied by the input source through the current steering diodes. This state is not
a normal bias condition; the amplifier most likely will not operate normally. If the supplies are low impedance,
then the current through the steering diodes can become quite high. The current level depends on the ability of
the input source to deliver current, and any resistance in the input path.
If there is an uncertainty about the ability of the supply to absorb this current, external Zener diodes can be
added to the supply pins, as shown in Figure 38. The Zener voltage must be selected such that the diode does
not turn on during normal operation. However, the Zener voltage must be low enough so that the Zener diode
conducts if the supply pin begins to rise above the safe operating supply voltage level.

8.2 Typical Application
The noise and distortion performance of the OPA164x family of amplifiers is exceptional in applications with high
source impedances, which makes these devices an excellent choice in preamplifier circuits for moving magnet
phono cartridges. The high source impedance of the cartridge, and high gain required by the RIAA playback
curve at low frequency, requires an amplifier with both low input current noise and low input voltage noise.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Vinyl records are recorded using an equalization curve specified by the Recording Institute Association of
America (RIAA). The purpose of this equalization curve is to decrease the amount of space occupied by a grove
on the record and therefore maximize the amount of information able to be stored. Proper playback of music
stored on the record requires a preamplifier circuit that applies the inverse transfer function of the recording
equalization curve. The combination of the recording equalization and the playback equalization results in a flat
frequency response over the audio range; see Figure 40.

Figure 40. RIAA Recording and Playback Curves Normalized at 1 kHz
The basic RIAA playback curve implements three time constants: 75 μs, 380 μs, and 3180 μs. An IEC
amendment is later added to the playback curve and implements a pole in the curve at 20 Hz with the intent of
protecting loudspeakers from excessive low frequency content. Rather than strictly adhering to the IEC
amendment, this design moves this pole to a lower frequency to improve low frequency response and still
providing protection for loudspeakers.
Resistor R1 and capacitor C1 are selected to provide the proper input impedance for the moving magnet
cartridge. Cartridge loading is specified by the manufacturer in the cartridge datasheet and is absolutely crucial
for proper response at high frequency. 47 kΩ is a common value for the input resistor, and the capacitive loading
is usually specified to 200 pF to 300 pF per channel. This capacitive loading specification includes the
capacitance of the cable connecting the turntable to the preamplifier, as well as any additional parasitic
capacitances at the preamplifier input. Therefore, the value of C1 must be less than the loading specification to
account for these additional capacitances.
The output network consisting of R5, R6, and C5 serves to ac couple the preamplifier circuit to any subsequent
electronics in the signal path. The 100-Ω resistor R5 limits in-rush current into coupling capacitor C5 and
prevents parasitic capacitance from cabling from causing instability. R6 prevents charge accumulation on C5.
Capacitor C5 is chosen to be the same value as C4; for simplicity however, the value of C5 must be large
enough to avoid attenuating low frequency information.
The feedback resistor elements must be selected to provide the correct response within the audio bandwidth. In
order to achieve the correct frequency response, the passive components in Figure 39 must satisfy Equation 1,
Equation 2, and Equation 3:
R2 u C2 3180Ps
(1)
R3 u C3
75Ps
R2 || R3 u C2
(2)

318Ps
(3)
R2, R3, and R4 must also be selected to meet the design requirements for gain. The gain at 1 kHz is determined
by subtracting 20 dB from gain of the circuit at very low frequency (near dc), as shown in Equation 4:
A1kHz ALF 20dB

SBOS484D – DECEMBER 2009 – REVISED APRIL 2016
Typical Application (continued)
Therefore, the low frequency gain of the circuit must be 60 dB to meet the goal of 40 dB at 1 kHz and is
determined by resistors R2, R3, and R4 as shown in Equation 5:
R3 R 2
ALF 1

Because there are multiple combinations of passive components that satisfy these equations, a spreadsheet or
other software calculation tool is the easiest method to examine resistor and capacitor combinations.
Capacitor C4 forces the gain of the circuit to unity at dc in order to limit the offset voltage at the output of the
preamplifier circuit. The high-pass corner frequency created by this capacitor is calculated by Equation 6:
1
FHP
2SR 4 C4
(6)
The circuit described in Figure 39 is constructed with 1% tolerance resistors and 5% tolerance NP0, C0G
ceramic capacitors without any additional hand sorting. The large value of C4 typically requires an electrolytic
type to be used. However, electrolytic capacitors have the potential to introduce distortion into the signal path.
This circuit is constructed using a bipolar electrolytic capacitor specifically intended for audio applications.
8.2.3 Application Curves
The deviation from the ideal RIAA transfer function curve is shown in Figure 41 and normalized to an ideal gain
of 40 dB at 1 kHz. The measured gain at 1 kHz is 0.05 dB less than the design goal, and the maximum deviation
from 100 Hz to 20 kHz is 0.18 dB. The deviation from the ideal curve can be improved by hand-sorting resistor
and capacitor values to their ideal values. The value of C4 can also be increased to reduce the deviation at low
frequency.
A spectrum of the preamplifier output signal is shown in Figure 42 for a 10 mVRMS, 1-kHz input signal (1-VRMS
output). All distortion harmonics are below the preamplifier noise floor.

temperature are presented in the Typical Characteristics section.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For best operational performance of the device, use good PCB layout practices, including:
• Noise can propagate into analog circuitry through the power pins of the circuit as a whole and of op amp
itself. Bypass capacitors are used to reduce the coupled noise by providing low-impedance power
sources local to the analog circuitry.
– Connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground, placed as
close to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable for singlesupply applications.
• Separate grounding for analog and digital portions of circuitry is one of the simplest and most-effective
methods of noise suppression. One or more layers on multilayer PCBs are usually devoted to ground
planes. A ground plane helps distribute heat and reduces EMI noise pickup. Make sure to physically
separate digital and analog grounds, paying attention to the flow of the ground current. For more detailed
information, see Circuit Board Layout Techniques, SLOA089.
• To reduce parasitic coupling, run the input traces as far away from the supply or output traces as
possible. If these traces cannot be kept separate, crossing the sensitive trace perpendicular is much
better as opposed to in parallel with the noisy trace.
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. As illustrated in Figure 43, keeping RF
and RG close to the inverting input minimizes parasitic capacitance.
• Keep the length of input traces as short as possible. Always remember that the input traces are the most
sensitive part of the circuit.
• Consider a driven, low-impedance guard ring around the critical traces. A guard ring can significantly
reduce leakage currents from nearby traces that are at different potentials.
• Cleaning the PCB following board assembly is recommended for best performance.
• Any precision integrated circuit can experience performance shifts resulting from moisture ingress into the
plastic package. Following any aqueous PCB cleaning process, baking the PCB assembly is
recommended to remove moisture introduced into the device packaging during the cleaning process. A
low temperature, post-cleaning bake at 85°C for 30 minutes is sufficient for most circumstances.
