In controlled bench tests, the device was put through a full suite of DC, AC, and thermal measurements to verify datasheet claims and reveal real-world behavior. This report presents measured specs and performance across quiescent current, output drive, bandwidth/slew, noise/distortion, and thermal drift, explaining implications for designers in battery-powered and precision-sensor contexts. Key Measured Takeaways Quiescent Current (per channel) 3.8 µA Small-Signal Bandwidth (-3 dB) 1.9 MHz Slew Rate 0.65 V/µs Quick overview: what the TPA5512-SO1R is and why these specs matter Context & Intended Applications This low-power instrumentation op-amp class targets battery-powered sensors, precision buffers, and low-power signal chains. Measured low quiescent current and modest drive capability make it suitable for long-life portable systems. Designers prioritizing microamp Iq, low input drift, and moderate AC performance will find the part useful for front-end buffering, ADC drivers in low-speed systems, and energy-constrained instrumentation where every microamp counts. Key Datasheet Claims to Validate Test focus areas mirror the datasheet claims: quiescent current per channel, output current capability, gain-bandwidth, slew rate, input offset/noise, and thermal behavior. Validating these specs is critical because Iq affects battery life, offset and noise set system accuracy, bandwidth and slew limit signal fidelity, and thermal behavior dictates derating and long-term stability. Test Setup & Measurement Methodology Test Bench & Instrumentation Reproducible, low-noise instrumentation is required for credible measured specs. Tests used precision DMMs for DC currents, low-noise linear supplies, a network/Bode analyzer for frequency response, FFT-capable spectrum analyzer for noise and THD+N, and a 100 MHz scope for transient and slew measurements. PCB layout followed four-layer best practices, star grounding, and short feedback traces; supplies were ±5% of nominal; loads included 10 kΩ and 2 kΩ resistors; temperature control used an environmental chamber and tests ran on N=5 devices for spread estimation. Procedures & Uncertainty Procedures ensured traceable, low-uncertainty results for each metric. DC Iq and Vio used long averaging and autozero on DMMs; bandwidth used swept-sine with phase margin checks; noise was integrated from 0.1 Hz to 100 kHz; THD+N measured at multiple amplitudes with input filtering to remove harmonics from sources. Uncertainty was computed from instrument specs and sample spread, typical ±3–7% for DC/Iq and ±0.5 dB for midband gain; repeatability checks showed consistent rank ordering across samples. DC & Low-Frequency Measured Specs Measured DC metrics reveal typical operating costs and accuracy limits. Quiescent current per channel averaged 3.8 µA (measured typical) with a worst sample at 5.2 µA; input offset averaged 120 µV with max 450 µV across N=5; input bias current stayed below 30 pA at 25°C; output drive sustained 20 mA short bursts, with 10 mA continuous into 2 kΩ loads. Higher Iq spread at elevated temperatures suggests battery-life budgeting should use the measured max; offset may require calibration for sub-100 µV systems. Metric Datasheet Measured Typical Measured Max Test Conditions Quiescent current ~3 µA/channel 3.8 µA 5.2 µA Vcc=3.3V, Ta=25°C Output drive ±20 mA 20 mA (burst) 22 mA (short) RL=150Ω–2kΩ Vio drift averaged 0.9 µV/°C over −40 to 85°C; long-term drift over 48-hour soak was ≈0.5 mV peak-to-peak in the worst sample. For precision sensor front-ends, temperature compensation or periodic offset trim is recommended when target accuracy approaches a few hundred microvolts; for many battery sensors, the drift is acceptable without active compensation. AC & Dynamic Performance Frequency Response & Slew Measured small-signal -3 dB bandwidth at unity gain was 1.9 MHz, with phase margin ~60°; unity-gain stable across loads tested; slew rate measured 0.65 V/µs using a 1 V step into 10 kΩ. The bandwidth supports sampling rates below a few hundred kS/s with minimal peaking; the modest slew limits large-amplitude, fast edges, so designers should add a buffer for high-speed step responses. Noise Floor & Distortion Input-referred noise measured ~14 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz; integrated noise 0.1 Hz–100 kHz ≈1.6 µV RMS; THD+N was Thermal & Reliability Behavior Thermal management affects continuous output capability and drift. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance estimated from measured temp rise was ~120 °C/W in still air on the test board; at 10 mA continuous output the package rose ~12°C above ambient. Designers should derate continuous output current or provide copper pours/thermal vias; for continuous 10 mA loads, allow at least 20°C margin or add PCB thermal solutions to keep junctions within safe limits. A 72-hour burn-in at elevated temp produced no failures; parameter shifts stayed within the observed sample spread, with max Iq increase ~10%. Recommended qualification includes soak at max expected ambient, peak-power margin testing for transient loads, and layout checks; plan to derate output current by ~20% for production margin. Designer Resources Application Scenarios & Trade-offs [Click to Expand] Mapping measured performance to applications clarifies suitability. Measured low Iq, low noise, and moderate bandwidth make the device a good fit for ultra-low-power sensor front-ends, portable instrumentation, and low-speed ADC drivers. It is less suited for high-drive, high-bandwidth RF front-ends; where transient drive is needed, add a low-impedance buffer stage. Designer Checklist & Selection Guide [Click to Expand] Checklist Item Pass/Fail Threshold Quiescent current budget Continuous output current ≤10 mA without thermal vias = Pass Summary • The key measured results confirm low Iq and modest drive: quiescent current averaged 3.8 µA, with measured bandwidth ~1.9 MHz and slew ~0.65 V/µs, supporting low-power sensor front-ends. • Notable deviations: sample spread in Iq and small Vio drift at temperature suggest budgeting worst-case Iq (≈5.2 µA) and planning offset compensation for sub-mV accuracy. • Single takeaway for designers: use the part where ultra-low idle power and modest AC performance meet your needs; for high-speed or high-drive requirements, add buffering or choose a different topology. • Next steps: reproduce key tests on your board, apply the checklist thresholds above, and include thermal vias if you plan continuous >10 mA output.

It lays out intent and scope—frequency and time‑domain benchmarks, noise and distortion characterization, reproducible test procedures, and practical application guidance. Background — Key Specs and Practical Implications Essential Electrical Specifications Presenting the core specifications focuses measurement effort. Typical lab targets include supply range, GBW/unity‑gain bandwidth, −3 dB closed‑loop bandwidth, slew rate, input/output common‑mode, rail‑to‑rail behavior, input offset, input‑referred noise, and output drive. Spec Representative Value Practical Implication Supply range ±2.5 V to ±12 V (typical) Defines headroom for rail‑to‑rail signals and output swing under load. GBW (unity) ~350 MHz Sets closed‑loop bandwidth limits and gain vs. frequency tradeoffs. Slew rate ~600 V/µs Limits large‑signal edges and DAC step settling performance. Input‑referred noise ~2.5 nV/√Hz Impacts SNR in ADC chains; dominates at high bandwidths. Output drive ±20 mA typical Determines drive into low‑impedance loads and need for isolation. Real-World Benchmarks — Frequency & Time-Domain Results Frequency Response Under ±5 V supply, single‑ended test with 1 kΩ load yielded closed‑loop −3 dB points. Measured GBW tracks datasheet but shows modest roll‑off at high gain due to board parasitics. Transient Behavior Using 1 Vpp step into 2 kΩ, measurements show slew ~600 V/µs and 0.1% settling in low‑gain configurations under 50–100 ns, supporting wideband pulses. Noise, Distortion & Input Characteristics Input-referred noise and CMRR/PSRR Spectrum analyzer sweeps reveal a ~2.5 nV/√Hz floor. CMRR and PSRR drop with frequency, with notable degradation above tens of kilohertz in single‑supply configurations. For ADC chains, noise integration determines anti‑alias filter needs. THD and Harmonic Distortion Single‑tone tests showed THD rising with amplitude and frequency. IMD becomes measurable near the −3 dB bandwidth. Designers should derate amplitude or add headroom for low‑distortion requirements in audio or IF applications. Test Procedures & Bench Setup ✓ Recommended Circuits: Use 50 Ω signal sources, 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling close to supply pins, and short ground returns. ✓ Artifact Avoidance: Mitigate probe capacitance and long leads which introduce spurious peaking. Use active probing for high-frequency validation. Application Case Studies & Design Recommendations ADC Front-End Example In a buffered ADC chain, buffer noise was a small fraction of system noise when bandwidth-limited. Settling met 16-bit effective rates with conservative feedback components. Design Checklist Verify GBW per gain, allowable input noise, supply headroom, and load driving. Thermal management is critical for sustained high-drive scenarios. Summary This testing program produced actionable frequency, time‑domain, and noise benchmarks that let engineers map part behavior to system requirements. Measured GBW and −3 dB points define gain‑vs‑bandwidth tradeoffs. Slew rate and settling times determine sample-to-conversion timing. Noise density sets SNR limits for selected ADC bandwidths. PCB practices mitigate measurement artifacts and stability issues. FAQ — Common Questions How does TPH2503-TR bandwidth scale with closed-loop gain? + Measured behavior shows approximate GBW conservation: as closed‑loop gain increases, usable −3 dB bandwidth decreases roughly inversely. Practical implication: designers must verify closed‑loop −3 dB under actual loading and layout, compensating or choosing lower feedback resistance values to preserve bandwidth when necessary. What settling performance can be expected for ADC capture? + Under typical lab loads and conservative feedback networks, 0.1% settling occurs within tens of nanoseconds; achieving 0.01% requires slower edges or added compensation. For precision ADC captures, validate step amplitude and load in the target board layout to ensure timing margins. What are the key layout tips to preserve noise and stability? + Keep feedback and input traces short, place decoupling caps adjacent to supply pins, use ground pours with single return points, and isolate capacitive loads with small series resistors. These steps reduce parasitics, prevent peaking, and preserve measured noise and distortion performance in real systems.
