The OPA2172-Q1 and OPA4172-Q1 (OPAx172-Q1)
are a family of 36-V, single-supply, low-noise
operational amplifiers capable of operating on
supplies ranging from 4.5 V (±2.25 V) to 36 V
(±18 V). The OPAx172-Q1 are available in
micropackages, and offer low offset, drift, and
quiescent current. These devices also offer wide
bandwidth, fast slew rate, and high output current
drive capability. The dual and quad versions all have
identical specifications for maximum design flexibility.

Unlike most op amps that are specified at only one
supply voltage, the OPAx172-Q1 family is specified
from 4.5 V to 36 V. Input signals beyond the supply
rails do not cause phase reversal. The input can
operate 100 mV below the negative rail and within 2
V of the top rail during normal operation. Note that
these devices can operate with full rail-to-rail input
100 mV beyond the top rail, but with reduced
performance within 2 V of the top rail.

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.
Transient conditions that exceed these voltage ratings must be current limited to 10 mA or less.
Refer to the Electrical Overstress section for more information.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The OPAx172-Q1 family of operational amplifiers provide high overall performance, making the devices ideal for
many general-purpose applications. The excellent offset drift of only 1.5 µV/°C (maximum) provides excellent
stability over the entire temperature range. In addition, the family offers very good overall performance with high
CMRR, PSRR, AOL, and superior THD.
The Functional Block Diagram section shows the simplified diagram of the OPA172-Q1 design. The design
topology is a highly-optimized, three-stage amplifier with an active-feedforward gain stage.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 EMI Rejection
The OPAx172-Q1 uses integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering to reduce the effects of EMI from
sources such as wireless communications and densely-populated boards with a mix of analog signal chain and
digital components. EMI immunity can be improved with circuit design techniques; the OPAx172-Q1 benefits
from these design improvements. Texas Instruments has developed the ability to accurately measure and
quantify the immunity of an operational amplifier over a broad frequency spectrum extending from 10 MHz to
6 GHz. Figure 42 shows the results of this testing on the OPAx172-Q1. Table 3 shows the EMIRR IN+ values for
the OPAx172-Q1 at particular frequencies commonly encountered in real-world applications. Applications listed in
Table 3 can be centered on or operated near the particular frequency shown. Detailed information can also be
found in the EMI Rejection Ratio of Operational Amplifiers application report (SBOA128), available for download
from www.ti.com.

8.3.2 Phase-Reversal Protection
The OPAx172-Q1 family has internal phase-reversal protection. Many op amps exhibit a 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 OPAx172-Q1 prevents phase reversal with excessive
common-mode voltage. Instead, the appropriate rail limits the output voltage. This performance is shown in
Figure 43.

8.3.3 Capacitive Load and Stability
The dynamic characteristics of the OPAx172-Q1 are optimized for commonly-used 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 = 50 Ω) in series with the
output. Figure 44 and Figure 45 show graphs of small-signal overshoot versus capacitive load for several values
of ROUT. See the Feedback Plots Define Op Amp AC Performance application bulletin (SBOA015), available for
download from www.ti.com, for details of analysis techniques and application circuits.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Common-Mode Voltage Range
The input common-mode voltage range of the OPAx172-Q1 series extends 100 mV below the negative rail and
within 2 V of the top rail for normal operation.
This device can operate with a full rail-to-rail input 100 mV beyond the top rail, but with reduced performance
within 2 V of the top rail. The typical performance in this range is summarized in Table 4.

8.4.2 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 terminals or even the
output terminal. Each of these different terminal functions have electrical stress limits determined by the voltage
breakdown characteristics of the particular semiconductor fabrication process and specific circuits connected to
the terminal. Additionally, internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is built into these circuits for protection
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 46 illustrates the ESD circuits contained in the OPAx172-Q1 (indicated by the dashed line area). The ESD
protection circuitry involves several current-steering diodes connected from the input and output terminals 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 46. 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 terminals, 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 above the normal operating voltage of the OPAx172-Q1 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 (as shown in Figure 46), 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 terminal. 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 46 shows 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 data sheet 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 or –VS are at 0 V. Again, this question 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 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 terminals; see Figure 46. 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
terminal begins to rise above the safe-operating, supply-voltage level.
The OPAx172-Q1 input terminals are protected from excessive differential voltage with back-to-back diodes; see
Figure 46. In most circuit applications, the input protection circuitry has no effect. However, in low-gain or G = 1
circuits, fast-ramping input signals can forward-bias these diodes because the output of the amplifier cannot
respond rapidly enough to the input ramp. If the input signal is fast enough to create this forward-bias condition,
limit the input signal current to 10 mA or less. If the input signal current is not inherently limited, an input series
resistor can be used to limit the input signal current. This input series resistor degrades the low-noise
performance of the OPAx172-Q1. Figure 46 illustrates an example configuration that implements a currentlimiting feedback resistor.
8.4.3 Overload Recovery
Overload recovery is defined as the time required for the op amp output to recover from the saturated state to
the linear state. The output devices of the op amp enter the saturation region when the output voltage exceeds
the rated operating voltage, either resulting from the high input voltage or the high gain. After the device enters
the saturation region, the charge carriers in the output devices need time to return back to the normal state. After
the charge carriers return back to the equilibrium state, the device begins to slew at the normal slew rate. Thus,
the propagation delay in case of an overload condition is the sum of the overload recovery time and the slew
time. The overload recovery time for the OPAx172-Q1 is approximately 200 ns.

9 Applications 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.
9.1 Application Information
The OPAx172-Q1 family of amplifiers is specified for operation from 4.5 V to 36 V (±2.25 V to ±18 V). Many of
the specifications apply from –40°C to +125°C. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to
operating voltage or temperature are presented in the Typical Characteristics section.
9.2 Typical Applications
The following application examples highlight only a few of the circuits where the OPAx172-Q1 can be used.
9.2.1 Capacitive Load Drive Solution Using an Isolation Resistor
The OPA172-Q1 can be used capacitive loads such as cable shields, reference buffers, MOSFET gates, and
diodes. The circuit uses an isolation resistor (RISO) to stabilize the output of an op amp. RISO modifies the openloop gain of the system to ensure the circuit has sufficient phase margin, as shown in Figure 47.

Typical Applications (continued)
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 47 depicts a unity-gain buffer driving a capacitive load. Equation 1 shows the transfer function for the
circuit in Figure 47. Not depicted in Figure 47 is the open-loop output resistance of the op amp, Ro.
1 + CLOAD × RISO × s
T(s) =
1 + Ro + RISO × CLOAD × s
(1)
The transfer function in Equation 1 has a pole and a zero. The frequency of the pole (fp) is determined by (Ro +
RISO) and CLOAD. Components RISO and CLOAD determine the frequency of the zero (fz). A stable system is
obtained by selecting RISO such that the rate of closure (ROC) between the open-loop gain (AOL) and 1 / β is
20 dB per decade. Figure 48 shows the concept. Note that the 1 / β curve for a unity-gain buffer is 0 dB.

ROC stability analysis is typically simulated. The validity of the analysis depends on multiple factors, especially
the accurate modeling of Ro. In addition to simulating the ROC, a robust stability analysis includes a
measurement of overshoot percentage and ac gain peaking of the circuit using a function generator,
oscilloscope, and gain and phase analyzer. Phase margin is then calculated from these measurements. Table 5
shows the overshoot percentage and ac gain peaking that correspond to phase margins of 45° and 60°. For
more details on this design and other alternative devices that can be used in place of the OPA172-Q1, see the
Capacitive Load Drive Solution using an Isolation Resistorprecision design (TIPD128).

The OPA172-Q1 meets the supply voltage requirements of 30 V. The OPA172-Q1 is tested for various capacitive

9.2.2 Bidirectional Current Source
The improved Howland current-pump topology shown in Figure 50 provides excellent performance because of
the extremely tight tolerances of the on-chip resistors of the INA132. By buffering the output using an OPA172Q1, the output current the circuit is able to deliver is greatly extended.
The circuit dc transfer function is shown in Equation 2.
IOUT = VIN / R1
(2)
The OPA172-Q1 can also be used as the feedback amplifier because the low bias current minimizes error
voltages produced across R1. However, for improved performance, select a FET-input device with extremely low
offset, such as the OPA192, OPA140, or OPA188 as the feedback amplifier.

9.2.3 JFET-Input Low-Noise Amplifier
Figure 51 shows a low-noise composite amplifier built by adding a low noise JFET pair (Q1 and Q2) as an input
preamplifier for the OPA172-Q1. Transistors Q3 and Q4 form a 2-mA current sink that biases each JFET with 1
mA of drain current. Using 3.9-kΩ drain resistors produces a gain of approximately 10 in the input amplifier,
making the extremely-low, broadband-noise spectral density of the JFET pair, Q1 and Q2, the dominant noise
source of the amplifier. The output impedance of the input differential amplifier is large enough that a FET-input
amplifier such as the OPA172-Q1 provides superior noise performance over bipolar-input amplifiers.
The gain of the composite amplifier is given by Equation 3.
AV = (1 + R3 / R4)
(3)
The resistances shown are standard 1% resistor values that produce a gain of approximately 100 (99.26) with
68° of phase margin. Gains less than 10 may require additional compensation methods to provide stability.
Select low resistor values to minimize the resistor thermal noise contribution to the total output noise.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The OPA172-Q1 is specified for operation from 4.5 V to 36 V (±2.25 V to ±18 V); many specifications apply from
–40°C to +125°C. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating voltage or
temperature are presented in the Typical Characteristics section.
CAUTION
Supply voltages larger than 40 V can permanently damage the device; see the
Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Place 0.1-μF bypass capacitors close to the power-supply terminals to reduce errors coupling in from noisy or
high-impedance power supplies. For more detailed information on bypass capacitor placement, see the Layout
section.
11 Layout
11.1 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 EMI noise pickup. Make sure to physically
separate digital and analog grounds paying attention to the flow of the ground current.
• In order 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 as opposed
to in parallel with the noisy trace is preferable.
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. As illustrated in Figure 52, 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.
