Overview
The OPA2335AIDGKR is a high-precision, low-power operational amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments. Part of the OPAx335 series, it is engineered for applications demanding minimal error and extended battery life. The device integrates CMOS technology to achieve microvolt-level offset voltages and nanoampere-level quiescent currents. Its small MSOP-8 package (DGK) makes it suitable for space-constrained designs. Typical applications include portable medical instruments, strain gauge amplifiers, and energy harvesting systems where accuracy and power efficiency are critical.
Structure and Working Principle
The op-amp employs a two-stage architecture with rail-to-rail input/output stages, enabling operation across the full supply voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V). The input stage uses chopper stabilization to minimize offset voltage drift over time and temperature. Internal compensation capacitors ensure stability without external components. A shutdown feature (not available in OPA2335 variant) further reduces power consumption in idle states. The output stage delivers 20mA drive capacity while maintaining low distortion for precision analog signals.
Key Features
The OPA2335AIDGKR distinguishes itself with a maximum offset voltage of 5µV and 0.02µV/°C drift, outperforming general-purpose op-amps. Its 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise density measures 1.1µVpp, critical for sensitive measurements. With a quiescent current of 17µA per amplifier, it enables years of operation on coin-cell batteries. The 3MHz gain bandwidth product and 0.8V/µs slew rate balance speed and power efficiency. Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) ensures reliability in harsh environments.
Application Areas
Medical devices such as blood glucose monitors and ECG front-ends benefit from the amplifier’s low noise and high CMRR. In industrial systems, it interfaces with load cells, RTD sensors, and pressure transducers. Portable instrumentation including handheld multimeters and data loggers utilize its power-saving characteristics. Energy-conscious designs like wireless sensor nodes and IoT endpoints leverage the nano-power operation mode for extended field deployment.
Maintenance and Precautions
Proper ESD handling (HBM Class 2) is required during assembly. Decoupling capacitors (0.1µF ceramic) should be placed near supply pins to minimize noise coupling. Avoid exceeding absolute maximum ratings, especially input voltage beyond supply rails. Thermal considerations are minimal due to low power dissipation, but thermal vias may be needed for high-accuracy applications. For lowest noise performance, guard rings and proper grounding techniques are recommended in PCB layout.
B2B Procurement Guide
Verify package option (DGKR denotes tape-and-reel MSOP-8) and lead finish (RoHS-compliant). MOQ typically starts at 2,500 units for standard pricing tiers. Consider alternative part OPA335 (single-channel) for simpler designs. Authorized distributors like Arrow, Avnet, and TI Direct provide volume pricing below $0.70/unit for 10k+ quantities. Lead times vary from 8-12 weeks for non-stock items. Request samples through TI’s website for performance validation before large orders.
