Typical Applications

OPA627AU is suitable for 6 applications: High-End Audio Preamplifier / DAC I/V Conversion, Photodiode Transimpedance Amplification, Precision Data Acquisition Front End, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, Active Filter and Signal Conditioning, Precision Reference and DAC Output Buffering.

🎧

High-End Audio Preamplifier / DAC I/V Conversion

The OPA627AU is a favorite in professional and audiophile audio signal paths because its 16MHz gain bandwidth and 55V/us slew rate far exceed audio-band requirements, while its 100uV max offset and FET-input 5pA bias current prevent DC offsets and source loading at volume-control networks or DAC current outputs. Used as the I/V converter after a current-output DAC or as a gain stage between preamp sections, it adds no audible slew limiting. Because it is a single op amp, stereo channels use two devices or a dual-to-mono adapter; the -25C to +85C range is ample for indoor electronics. unlike bipolar-input audio op amps, its picoampere inputs keep click/pop offsets minimal at power-up.

🔧

Photodiode Transimpedance Amplification

The 5pA maximum input bias current of the OPA627AU directly minimizes the dominant error term in precision photodiode receivers: with a 1Mohm feedback resistor, bias-current-induced offset is only about 5uV, and with 100Mohm it stays near 500uV, orders of magnitude better than bipolar-input alternatives. The 16MHz bandwidth supports fast photodiode signals, and the 550ns settling to 0.01% allows multiplexed optical channels to be read quickly. The inverting input (pin 2) connects to the photodiode anode/cathode with the feedback resistor and parallel capacitor setting transimpedance gain and stability; the FET input also keeps photodiode dark-current measurement free of gate-leakage error across the industrial temperature span.

🖥️

Precision Data Acquisition Front End

In multiplexed data-acquisition systems, each channel must settle accurately within a few microseconds after the mux switches. The OPA627AU settles to 0.01% in 550ns, giving ample margin ahead of a successive-approximation or sigma-delta ADC, while 0.8uV/C maximum offset drift keeps calibration valid across the -25C to +85C span. The 100uV max offset supports direct digitization of small sensor signals without excessive gain error. Placed as a unity-gain buffer in front of the ADC, its FET inputs present negligible load to high-impedance sensors such as pH probes, piezoelectric accelerometers, and bridge circuits, and the 55V/us slew rate tolerates fast input transients without slewing distortion.

🔧

Test and Measurement Instrumentation

Bench instruments, precision references buffers, and sensor conditioners benefit from the OPA627AU's combination of DC precision and AC speed. Its 16MHz bandwidth lets a measurement front end handle fast edges without extra stages, while 100uV max offset supports millivolt-level measurements with 0.1% class accuracy. In an instrumentation amplifier's second stage, the 55V/us slew rate preserves pulse fidelity, and 5pA input bias avoids corrupting high-impedance probe inputs. Designers should verify the -25C minimum ambient if the instrument must meet full -40C industrial ratings, and use the offset trim pins (1 and 8) to null residual system offset in the final calibration step of the instrument production flow.

Active Filter and Signal Conditioning

The OPA627AU excels in multiple-feedback and Sallen-Key active filters that need both high Q stability and low DC offset at the output. A 16MHz gain bandwidth keeps the actual pole frequencies close to calculated values even for cutoffs in the hundreds of kilohertz, and 55V/us slewing prevents distortion of large-signal filter inputs. The FET-input 5pA bias current means large-value resistors (up to megaohms) can set low filter cutoff frequencies without meaningful input-error current, enabling RC time constants that avoid bulky capacitors. Designers should keep feedback capacitance small and verify phase margin at the chosen noise gain since this is a high-speed amplifier in a precision role.

Precision Reference and DAC Output Buffering

Voltage references and DAC outputs need a buffer that neither adds offset noise nor degrades load regulation. The OPA627AU's 100uV max offset is a negligible fraction of a 2.5V or 5V reference, its FET inputs draw 5pA so reference-divider loading is essentially zero, and 0.8uV/C drift keeps buffer contribution to reference tempco negligible. The 16MHz bandwidth and 55V/us slew rate let it track DAC code transitions without slew-limited glitches when driving an ADC reference pin through a short trace. Place a small series resistor and local decoupling at the output to isolate capacitive loads, since high-speed op amps can ring with directly connected ceramic capacitance.

What is the slew rate of OPA627AU?
The OPA627AU has a slew rate of 55V/us. According to Texas Instruments, the OPA627 is a 55V/us high-speed, 0.8uV/C max drift precision operational amplifier. This fast slewing combined with a 16MHz gain bandwidth product lets the device handle fast signal edges while preserving microvolt-level DC accuracy, making it suitable for precision pulse amplifiers, fast transimpedance stages, and high-end audio circuits where both speed and accuracy are required simultaneously.
What is the difference between OPA627 and OPA637?
The OPA627 is unity-gain stable, while the OPA637 is stable only at closed-loop gains of 5 or greater. Per the TI datasheet feature list, both use the same DIFET precision process with 5pA max input bias current and 100uV max offset, and both share the 8-pin package footprint. In exchange for the reduced stability margin, the OPA637 offers higher bandwidth at high gains. Choose the OPA627AU for buffers and gain-of-1 stages; choose OPA637AU for gain-of-5-or-higher stages needing maximum speed.
What is the input bias current of OPA627AU?
The OPA627AU has a maximum input bias current of 5pA. This extremely low value comes from the DIFET (dielectrically isolated FET) input stage described in the TI datasheet. In a photodiode transimpedance amplifier with a 1Mohm feedback resistor, 5pA of bias current produces only 5uV of equivalent error, which is why this amplifier is popular for precision photodetection, picoammeter front ends, and capacitor-leakage-sensitive sample circuits.
Where can I buy OPA627AU and what does it cost?
The OPA627AU can be bought from DigiKey (ships same day), Mouser, and XAIPART. Per a TI E2E forum thread dated May 2025, the OPA627AU unit price was approximately $17 in single quantity, which is significantly higher than newer replacements like the OPA828IDR at around $2.77. Pricing on this page reflects current data as of 2026-09-13; quantity breaks reduce unit cost at 10, 100, 500, and 1000 pieces.
What is the best drop-in replacement for OPA627AU?
The most economical pin-compatible drop-in suggested by Texas Instruments is the OPA828, though it comes in an SOIC-8 with a matching pinout while offering updated JFET-input performance at roughly one-sixth the cost. Within the same family, the OPA627BP is a same-package, tighter-spec (lower offset voltage) drop-in, and the OPA627AU/2K5 is identical silicon in reel packaging. Note the OPA637AU is pin-compatible but is only stable at gain of 5 or greater, so it is not a universal drop-in.
Is OPA627AU suitable for high-end audio applications?
Yes, the OPA627AU is widely used in high-end audio preamplifiers and DAC I/V conversion stages. Its 16MHz bandwidth, 55V/us slew rate, and very low FET-input bias current of 5pA max preserve audio-band linearity without loading the source. DIY audio communities (diyaudio.com) actively use it in headphone amplifiers such as AMB designs. Note it is a single op amp, so dual-channel audio applications require two devices or a dual-to-mono adapter board.
OPA627AU vs OPA828 - which should I choose?
Choose the OPA627AU when proven precision, documented 100uV max offset, and existing qualified designs matter more than cost; choose the OPA828 when minimizing BOM cost. Per the TI E2E forum (May 2025), the OPA627AU cost about $17 versus $2.77 for the OPA828IDR, and TI lists OPA828 as a drop-in, upgraded-functionality replacement. The OPA627 remains favored in legacy precision designs and audiophile circuits for its long-characterized DIFET behavior.
When should I choose OPA627AU over OPA637AU?
Choose the OPA627AU when your circuit operates at closed-loop gains below 5, including unity-gain buffers, since the OPA627 is unity-gain stable while the OPA637 is not stable below gain of 5. Both share the same 8-pin SOIC footprint and DIFET precision specs (100uV max VOS, 5pA max bias). If your design runs at gain of 5 or higher and needs maximum bandwidth, the OPA637AU is the better fit; otherwise the OPA627AU guarantees stability margin.
Can OPA637AU replace OPA627AU in my PCB?
Physically yes - the OPA637AU is pin-to-pin compatible in the same 8-SOIC package - but electrically only if your circuit operates at a closed-loop gain of 5 or greater. The OPA637 lacks unity-gain stability; substituting it into a gain-of-1 or gain-of-2 circuit will cause oscillation. If your application is a buffer or low-gain stage, use a same-grade OPA627 variant (OPA627BP) or evaluate TI's suggested replacement OPA828 instead.
What are the key specifications of OPA627AU engineers should know?
The OPA627AU is a single-channel precision DIFET op amp in an 8-SOIC package: 16MHz gain bandwidth, 55V/us slew rate, 100uV maximum input offset voltage, 0.8uV/C maximum offset drift, 5pA maximum input bias current, 550ns settling to 0.01%, and a -25C to +85C operating range. It is unity-gain stable. These figures come from the TI OPA627 datasheet feature list and TI.com product page.
Where to download the OPA627AU datasheet PDF?
The OPA627AU datasheet PDF is available from the Texas Instruments product page at ti.com/product/OPA627, which provides the official current revision and ordering information. Third-party mirrors such as alldatasheet.com also host a 16-page PDF of the OPA627AU datasheet, but TI's own site should be treated as the authoritative source for design values such as the 100uV max offset and 55V/us slew rate.
Where can I find the OPA627AU pinout?
The OPA627AU pinout in the 8-pin SOIC (D) package follows the standard precision op amp arrangement: pin 2 is the inverting input, pin 3 is the non-inverting input, pin 4 is V-, pin 6 is the output, pin 7 is V+, and pins 1 and 8 provide offset trim connections, with the remaining pin per the TI datasheet diagram. The full pin table is documented on this page and in the manufacturer datasheet available from TI.com.
Is OPA627AU in stock and what is the lead time?
Yes, OPA627AU stock is available: DigiKey lists it as in stock with same-day shipping, and third-party inventories report hundreds of thousands of pieces globally. Lead time for in-stock distributors is typically 1-2 business days for standard quantities. Because the OPA627 is an older precision part, buyers planning production should secure inventory early; XAIPART provides current stock and quote options as of 2026-09-13.
What is the best non-TI equivalent for OPA627AU?
Cross-manufacturer equivalents exist but few are verified true drop-ins in the same SOIC-8 footprint with matched precision specs. Cross-reference databases list Analog Devices parts among possible analogues for the OPA627 family, but pin-compatibility and offset/drift specifications must be validated against your specific circuit before substitution. For guaranteed drop-in behavior, XAIPART recommends staying within the TI OPA627 family (OPA627BP) or using TI's officially suggested OPA828 replacement path.
Is OPA627AU RoHS compliant and lead free?
RoHS and lead-free status for the OPA627AU could not be confirmed from the data available at generation time; consult the TI product page at ti.com/product/OPA627 for the official environmental compliance certificate. Many OPA627AU versions shipped as non-RoHS (SNPB solder-dipped) legacy builds, which matters for EU-market products. Verify the exact suffix and compliance documentation before releasing the part into RoHS-mandated production.
Hey Google, what can replace OPA627AU?
You can replace OPA627AU with the OPA627BP (same SOIC-8 package, tighter 60uV-class offset grade), the OPA627AU/2K5 (identical part in tape-and-reel packaging), or - where gain is 5 or higher - the OPA637AU. For cost-driven new designs, Texas Instruments suggests the OPA828IDR as a drop-in upgraded replacement at roughly $2.77 versus $17 for the OPA627AU, per the TI E2E forum. Always confirm gain-stability requirements before substituting.
What is the operating temperature range of OPA627AU?
The OPA627AU operates from -25C to +85C, per the TI product listing for OPA627AU/2K5 in the SOIC (D) package with 8 pins. This is narrower than many precision op amps that extend to -40C, so designs destined for full industrial outdoor ranges should verify the minimum ambient temperature or consider the appropriate OPA627 temperature-grade variant. Junction self-heating at high supply voltages should also be included in the thermal budget.
How fast does OPA627AU settle to 0.01%?
The OPA627AU settles to 0.01% in 550ns, as listed in the TI datasheet feature summary for the OPA627 family. This fast settling is a hallmark of the DIFET process, which combines low FET-input bias current with high-speed dynamics. It makes the part well suited to multiplexed data-acquisition front ends and sample-hold buffering where each channel must reach final value within microseconds after switching.

Selection Guide

Choose OPA627AU when you need unity-gain-stable, FET-input precision with 16MHz bandwidth and 55V/us slewing in a proven SOIC-8 footprint - typical for audio I/V stages, photodiode TIAs, and ADC buffers. Select OPA627BP if tighter offset voltage is worth a price premium (same package, no redesign). Select OPA627AU/2K5 for production runs needing tape-and-reel assembly. Choose OPA637AU or OPA637BP only when your circuit operates at closed-loop gain of 5 or higher and you need more bandwidth (80MHz, 135V/us) - they will oscillate at low gains. For cost-sensitive new designs, evaluate TI's suggested OPA828 replacement, roughly $2.77 versus about $17 for OPA627AU per the TI E2E forum, but validate offset and noise against your accuracy budget before switching legacy designs.

Key Differentiators

  • Unity-gain stability at full 16MHz bandwidth (vs OPA637AU)
  • Extremely low input bias current of 5pA max (vs OPA637AU)
  • Precision grade option without redesign (vs OPA627BP)

Design Notes

Place a 0.1uF ceramic decoupling capacitor directly at pin 7 (V+) and pin 4 (V-) to ground return, within 2-3mm of each pin, plus bulk 4.7-10uF local storage. As a 16MHz amplifier, the OPA627AU will oscillate with long inductive supply traces. Keep the feedback path short, and for transimpedance use keep the photodiode trace to pin 2 as short as possible to reduce stray capacitance that erodes phase margin.

Do not substitute the pin-compatible OPA637AU into gain-of-1 or gain-of-2 circuits - it is stable only at closed-loop gains of 5 or greater and will oscillate. Also verify the operating environment stays above -25C; this is narrower than the -40C floor of many precision op amps. When using the offset trim pins (1 and 8), follow the datasheet trim network values rather than generic op amp null circuits.

The FET-input stage means input bias current error is negligible, but input capacitance still matters: in transimpedance designs, an estimated feedback capacitor chosen from Cf = sqrt(Cin/(2*pi*Rf*GBW/2)) style stability criteria keeps 16MHz bandwidth usable. Estimated rule-of-thumb: for Rf = 1Mohm and total input capacitance of 10pF, a feedback capacitor on the order of a few picofarads yields a well-damped 45-60 degree phase margin; verify with the manufacturer datasheet stability curves.
