A consolidated, data-driven reference for hardware teams designing low-voltage, rail-to-rail amplifier stages. This report validates performance metrics to accelerate prototype-to-production handoff.
The device is a quad, rail-to-rail input/output (RRIO) operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage single-supply systems. Ideal for sensor front-ends, low-noise buffering, and ADC drivers in battery-powered equipment where headroom and low quiescent current are critical.
Confirming datasheet specs in the lab ensures margin for system-level behavior. Key focus areas: supply range, input offset, and noise density, as these drive ADC error budgets and filter selection.
| Parameter | Datasheet Value | Test Condition | Measured Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.8–5.5 V | ±1% supply, no load | Pass/Fail |
| Input Offset | ±200 µV | Vcm = mid-supply, 25°C | Mean ±2σ |
| Output Swing | Rail − 50 mV | RL = 10 kΩ to Vdd/2 | Measured Delta |
A controlled testbench minimizes measurement artifacts. Use low-noise linear supplies with 0.1% regulation and Kelvin-probed pads. Placement of decouplers within 5 mm is mandatory to reduce false oscillation.
Use sample sizes of 10–30 units for characterization. Report mean, standard deviation, and 95% confidence bounds.
| Parameter | Datasheet | Measured Mean | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input Offset | ±200 µV | 120 µV |
|
| Iq per Amp | 350 µA | 360 µA |
|
| Input Bias | 1–10 nA | 3.2 nA |

AC Note: Typical unity-gain bandwidth measured near 6 MHz with phase margin ≈60°. If measured phase margin is marginal for chosen feedback, add small-series output resistors to damp capacitive loads.
Measured offset drift is ~0.8 µV/°C. GBW reduces by ~10% at the low end of the supply range. Reserve headroom for output swing in high-temperature environments (30–60 min soak time recommended).
Device survives typical HBM pulses with series input resistors. Direct shorts to ground trigger current limiting but increase thermal stress. Always follow unit-level ESD standards.
| Metric | Performance Level | Benchmark Status |
|---|---|---|
| Noise | 12 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz | Competitive |
| Output Swing | Vdd - 50mV (10kΩ) | Load Dependent |
| Quiescent Current | 350 µA per Amp | Moderate |
Continuous analog ground plane is essential. Route feedback traces away from noisy digital signals and use star entry for power connections.
Low-noise buffer for ADC input: RG = 10 kΩ, CF = 1 pF. Ensure 50 Ω source termination for high-speed sampling.
