DESCRIPTION
The OPA170 is a 36-V, single-supply, low-noise
operational amplifier that features a micro package
with the ability to operate on supplies ranging from
+2.7V (±1.35V) to +36V (±18V). It offers good offset,
drift, and bandwidth with low quiescent current.
Unlike most op amps, which are specified at only one
supply voltage, the OPA170 is specified from +2.7V
to +36V. Input signals beyond the supply rails do not
cause phase reversal. The OPA170 is stable with
capacitive loads up to 300pF. The input can operate
100mV below the negative rail and within 2V of the
positive rail for normal operation. Note that these
devices can operate with full rail-to-rail input 100mV
beyond the positive rail, but with reduced
performance within 2V of the positive rail.
The OPA170 is available in the SOT553-5 package
and is specified from –40°C to +150°C.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The OPA170 operational amplifier provides high
overall performance. This device is ideal for many
general-purpose applications. The excellent offset
drift of only 2µV/°C provides excellent stability over
the entire temperature range. In addition, the device
offers very good overall performance with high
CMRR, PSRR, and AOL. As with all amplifiers,
applications with noisy or high-impedance power
supplies require decoupling capacitors placed close
to the device pins. In most cases, 0.1µF capacitors
are adequate.
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
The OPA170 is specified for operation from 2.7V to
36V (±1.35V to ±18V). Many of the specifications
apply from –40°C to +150°C. Parameters that can
exhibit significant variance with regard to operating
voltage or temperature are presented in the Typical
Characteristics.
This device can operate with full rail-to-rail input
100mV beyond the positive rail, but with reduced
performance within 2V of the positive rail. The typical
performance in this range is summarized in Table 1.
PHASE-REVERSAL PROTECTION
The OPA170 has an internal phase-reversal
protection. Many op amps exhibit a phase reversal
when the input is driven beyond its linear commonmode 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 OPA170 prevents phase reversal
with excessive common-mode voltage. Instead, the
output limits into the appropriate rail. This
performance is shown in Figure 38.

For best operational performance of the device, good
printed circuit board (PCB) layout practices are
recommended. Low-loss, 0.1µF bypass capacitors
should be connected between each supply pin and
ground, placed as close to the device as possible. A
single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is
applicable to single-supply applications.

CAPACITIVE LOAD AND STABILITY
ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS
The dynamic characteristics of the OPA170 have
been optimized for common 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 (for example, ROUT
equal to 50Ω) in series with the output. Figure 39 and
Figure 40 illustrate graphs of small-signal overshoot
versus capacitive load for several values of ROUT.
Also, refer to Applications Bulletin AB-028, Feedback
Plots Define Op Amp AC Performance (literature
number SBOA015, available for download from the TI
website), for details of analysis techniques and
application circuits.
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 may 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.

These ESD protection diodes also provide in-circuit,
input overdrive protection, as long as the current is
limited to 10mA as stated in the Absolute Maximum
Ratings. Figure 41 shows how a series input resistor
may be added to the driven input to limit the input
current. The added resistor contributes thermal noise
at the amplifier input and its value should be kept to a
minimum in noise-sensitive applications.

An ESD event produces a short duration, highvoltage pulse that is transformed into a short
duration, high-current pulse as it discharges through
a semiconductor device. The ESD protection circuits
are designed to provide a current path around the
operational amplifier core to prevent it from being
damaged. The energy absorbed by the protection
circuitry is then dissipated as heat.
When the operational amplifier connects into a circuit,
the ESD protection components are intended to
remain inactive and not become involved in the
application circuit operation. However, circumstances
may arise where an applied voltage exceeds the
operating voltage range of a given pin. Should this
condition occur, there is a risk that some of the
internal ESD protection circuits may be biased on,
and conduct current. Any such current flow occurs
through ESD cells and rarely involves the absorption
device.

If there is an uncertainty about the ability of the
supply to absorb this current, external zener diodes
may be added to the supply pins. The zener voltage
must be selected such that the diode does not turn
on during normal operation. However, its zener
voltage should be low enough so that the zener diode
conducts if the supply pin begins to rise above the
safe operating supply voltage level.
