OPA167x Low-Distortion Audio Operational Amplifiers
The OPA167x amplifiers achieve a low 4.5-nV/√Hz
noise density and low distortion of 0.0001% at 1 kHz,
which improves audio signal fidelity. These devices
also offer rail-to-rail output swing to within 800 mV
with a 2-kΩ load, which increases headroom and
maximizes dynamic range.

Low input bias current: 10 pA (typical)
Slew rate: 9 V/μs
Wide gain bandwidth: 16 MHz (G = 1)
Unity-gain stable
Rail-to-rail output
Wide supply range:
– ±2.25 V to ±18 V, or 4.5 V to 36 V
Single, dual, and quad-channel versions
Available packages:
– Single: SOIC-8, SOT-23
– Dual: SOIC-8, small SON-8, VSSOP-8
– Quad: Small QFN-16, SO-14, TSSOP-14
Temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
To accommodate the power-supply constraints of
many types of audio products, the OPA167x operate
over a very-wide supply range of ±2.25 V to ±18 V
(or 4.5 V to 36 V) on only 2 mA of supply current.
These op amps are unity-gain stable and have
excellent dynamic behavior over a wide range of load
conditions, allowing the OPA167x to be used in many
audio circuits.
The OPA167x amplifiers use completely independent
internal circuitry for lowest crosstalk and freedom from
interactions between channels, even when overdriven
or overloaded.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The OPA167x devices are unity-gain stable, dual-channel and quad-channel op amps with low noise and
distortion. Section 7.2 shows a simplified schematic of the OPA167x (one channel shown). These devices
consist of a low-noise input stage with a folded cascode and a rail-to-rail output stage. This topology exhibits
excellent noise and distortion performance across a wide range of supply voltages that are not delivered by
legacy, commodity, audio operational amplifiers.

7.3.1 Phase Reversal Protection
The OPA167x 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 OPA167x prevents phase reversal with excessive common-mode
voltage. Instead, the appropriate rail limits the output voltage. This performance is shown in Figure 7-1.

7.3.2 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.
A good understanding of this basic ESD circuitry and the relevance to an electrical overstress event is helpful.
Figure 7-2 illustrates the ESD circuits contained in the OPA167x (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 the diodes meet at an absorption device internal to the operational
amplifier. This protection circuitry is intended to remain inactive during normal circuit operation.

Figure 7-2. Equivalent Internal ESD Circuitry Relative to a Typical Circuit Application
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 amplifier device pins, current flows through one or
more 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 greater than the normal operating voltage of the
OPA167x but less than 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 (see Figure 7-2), the ESD protection components
are intended to remain inactive and do 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, there is a risk that some internal ESD protection circuits can turn on and conduct current. Any
such current flow occurs through steering-diode paths and rarely involves the absorption device.
Figure 7-2 shows a specific example where the input voltage (VIN) exceeds the positive supply voltage (V+)
by 500 mV or more. Much of what happens in the circuit depends on the supply characteristics. If V+ can
sink the current, one of the upper input steering diodes conducts and directs current to V+. Excessively high
current levels can flow with increasingly higher VIN. As a result, the data sheet specifications recommend that
applications limit the input current to 10 mA.

SBOS855E – JANUARY 2017 – REVISED DECEMBER 2022
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 (V+ or V–) are at 0 V. Again, this question depends on the supply characteristic when at 0
V, or at a level less than the input signal amplitude. If the supplies appear as high impedance, then the input
source supplies the operational amplifier current through the current-steering diodes. This state is not a normal
bias condition; most likely, the amplifier does 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 any uncertainty about the ability of the supply to absorb this current, add external Zener diodes to the
supply pins; see Figure 7-2. Select the Zener voltage so 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.
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 shown in the EMI Rejection Ratio of
Operational Amplifiers application report, available for download at www.ti.com.
The EMIRR IN+ of the OPA167x is plotted versus frequency in Figure 7-3. The dual and quad operational
amplifier device versions have approximately identical EMIRR IN+ performance. The OPA167x unity-gain
bandwidth is 16 MHz. EMIRR performance below this frequency denotes interfering signals that fall within the
operational amplifier bandwidth.

7.3.3.1 EMIRR IN+ Test Configuration
Figure 7-4 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 the EMI Rejection Ratio of Operational Amplifiers application report for
more details.

7.4.1 Operating Voltage
The OPA167x series op amps operate from ±2.25 V to ±18 V supplies while maintaining excellent performance.
The OPA167x series can operate with as little as 4.5 V between the supplies and with up to 36 V between the
supplies. However, some applications do not require equal positive and negative output voltage swing. With the
OPA167x series, power-supply voltages are not required to be equal. For example, the positive supply can be
set to 25 V with the negative supply at –5 V.
In all cases, the common-mode voltage must be maintained within the specified range. In addition, key
parameters are specified over the temperature range of TA = –40°C to +85°C. Parameters that vary significantly
with operating voltage or temperature are shown in Section 6.8.

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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Capacitive Loads
The dynamic characteristics of the OPA167x series 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 (RS equal to 50 Ω,
for example) in series with the output.
This small series resistor also prevents excess power dissipation if the output of the device short-circuits. For
more details about analysis techniques and application circuits, see the Feedback Plots Define Op Amp AC
Performance application report, available for download from the TI website (www.ti.com).

8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Phantom-Powered Preamplifier for Piezo Contact Microphones
Contact microphones are useful for amplifying the sound of musical instruments that do not contain electric
pickups, such as acoustic guitars and violins. Most contact microphones use a piezo element to convert
vibrations in the body of the musical instrument to a voltage which can be amplified or recorded. The low noise
and low input bias current of the OPA1678 make the device an excellent choice for high impedance preamplifiers
for piezo elements. This preamplifier circuit provides high input impedance for the piezo element but has low
output impedance for driving long cable runs. The circuit is also designed to be powered from 48-V phantom
power which is commonly available in professional microphone preamplifiers and recording consoles.
A TINA-TI™ simulation schematic of the circuit below is available in the Tools and Software section of the
OPA1678 or OPA1679 product folder.

In professional audio systems, phantom power is applied to the two signal lines that carry a differential audio

Figure 8-2. System Diagram Showing the Application of Phantom Power to the Audio Signal Lines
A voltage divider is used to extract the common-mode phantom power from the differential audio signal in this
type of system. The voltage at center point of the voltage divider formed by R1 and R2 does not change when
audio signals are present on the signal lines (assuming R1 and R2 are matched). A Zener diode forces the
voltage at the center point of R1 and R2 to a regulated voltage. The values of R1 and R2 are determined by the
allowable voltage drop across these resistors from the current delivered to both op amp channels and the Zener
diode. There are two power supply current pathways in parallel, each sharing half the total current of the op amp
and Zener diode. Resistors R1 and R2 can be calculated using Equation 1:

A 24-V Zener diode is selected for this design, and 1 mA of current flows through the diode at idle conditions
to maintain the reverse-biased condition of the Zener diode. The maximum idle power supply current of both op
amp channels is 5 mA. Inserting these values into Equation 1 gives the values for R1 and R2 shown in Equation

Using a value of 1.2 kΩ for resistors R1 and R2 establishes a 1-mA current through the Zener diode and
properly regulate the node to 24 V. Capacitor C1 forms a low-pass filter with resistors R1 and R2 to filter the
Zener diode noise and any residual differential audio signals. Mismatch in the values of R1 and R2 causes a
portion of the audio signal to appear at the voltage divider center point. The corner frequency of the low-pass
filter must be set below the audio band, as shown in Equation 3.

8.2.1.2.2 Input Network
Resistors R3 and R4 provide a pathway for the input bias current of the OPA1678 while maintaining the high
input impedance of the circuit. The contact microphone capacitance and the required
low-frequency response determine the values of R3 and R4. The –3-dB frequency formed by the microphone
capacitance and amplifier input impedance is shown in Equation 4:

(4)
A piezo element with 8 nF of capacitance was selected for this design because the 9-kHz resonance is towards
the upper end of the audible bandwidth, and is less likely to affect the frequency response of many musical
instruments. The minimum value for resistors R3 and R4 is then calculated with Equation 5:

1-MΩ resistors are selected for R3 and R4 to make sure the circuit meets the design requirements for –3-dB
bandwidth. The center point of resistors R3 and R4 is biased to half the supply voltage through the voltage
divider formed by R5 and R6. This sets the input common-mode voltage of the circuit to a value within the input
voltage range of the OPA1678. Piezo elements can produce very large voltages if the elements are struck with
sufficient force. To prevent damage, the input of the OPA1678 is protected by a transient voltage suppressor
(TVS) diode placed across the preamplifier inputs. The TPD1E1B04 TVS was selected due to low capacitance
and the 6.4-V clamping voltage does not clamp the desired low amplitude vibration signals. Resistors R14 and
R15 limit current flow into the amplifier inputs in the event that the internal protection diodes of the amplifier are
forward-biased.
8.2.1.2.3 Gain

Resistors R7 and R9 are selected with a value of 2 kΩ to avoid loading the output of the OPA1678 and

Capacitors C3 and C4 limit the bandwidth of the circuit so that signals outside the audio bandwidth are not

frequency must be above the desired –3-dB bandwidth point to avoid attenuating high-frequency audio signals.

C3 and C4 are 390-pF capacitors, which places the corner frequency approximately 1 decade above the desired
–3-dB bandwidth point. Capacitors C3 and C4 must be NP0 or C0G type ceramic capacitors or film capacitors.
Other ceramic dielectrics, such as X7R, are not suitable for these capacitors and produce distortion.

8.2.1.2.4 Output Network
The audio signal is ac-coupled onto the microphone signal lines through capacitors C5 and C6. The value of
capacitors C5 and C6 are determined by the low-frequency design requirements and the input impedance of
the microphone preamplifier that connect to the output of the circuit. Equation 9 shows an approximation of the
capacitor value requirements, and neglects the effects of R10, R11, R12, and R13 on the frequency response.
The microphone preamplifier input impedance (RIN_MIC) uses a typical value of 4.4 kΩ for the calculation.

For simplicity, the same 22-μF capacitors selected for the power supply filtering are selected for C5 and C6
to satisfy Equation 9. At least 50-V rated capacitors must be used for C5 and C6. If polarized capacitors are
used, the positive terminal must be oriented towards the microphone preamplifier. Resistors R10 and R11 isolate
the op amp outputs from the capacitance of long cables that can cause instability. R12 and R13 discharge
ac-coupling capacitors C4 and C5 when phantom power is removed.
8.2.1.3 Application Curves
The frequency response of the preamplifier circuit is shown in Figure 8-3. The –3-dB frequencies are 15.87 Hz
and 181.1 kHz, which meet the design requirements. The gain within the passband of the circuit is 18.9 dB,
slightly less than the design goal of 20 dB. The reduction in gain is a result of the voltage division between the
output resistors of the piezo preamplifier circuit and the input impedance of the microphone preamplifier. The
A-weighted noise of the circuit (referred to the input) is 842.2 nVRMS or –119.27 dBu.

8.3 Power Supply Recommendations
The OPA167x devices are specified for operation from 4.5 V to 36 V (±2.25 V to ±18 V); many specifications
apply from –40°C to +85°C. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating voltage
or temperature are shown in Section 6.8. Applications with noisy or high-impedance power supplies require
decoupling capacitors close to the device pins. In most cases, 0.1-µF capacitors are adequate.
8.4 Layout
8.4.1 Layout Guidelines
For best operational performance of the device, use good printed-circuit board (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 electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise pickup. Physically
separate digital and analog grounds, observing the flow of the ground current.
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 shown in Figure 8-8, 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, bake the PCB assembly 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.
8.4.1.1 Power Dissipation
The OPA167x series op amps are capable of driving 2-kΩ loads with a power-supply voltage up to ±18 V and
full operating temperature range. Internal power dissipation increases when operating at high supply voltages.
Copper leadframe construction used in the OPA167x series op amps improves heat dissipation compared to
conventional materials. Circuit board layout can also help minimize junction temperature rise. Wide copper
traces help dissipate the heat by acting as an additional heat sink. Temperature rise can be further minimized by
soldering the devices to the circuit board rather than using a socket.
