Typical Applications
OPA828 is suitable for 6 applications: Photodiode Transimpedance Amplifier, Precision ADC Driver, High-Fidelity Audio Signal Chain, Test and Measurement Signal Conditioning, Sensor Interface for Industrial Automation, Active Filter and Buffer Circuits.
Photodiode Transimpedance Amplifier
The OPA828s 1 pA input bias current and 4 nV/Hz noise make it ideal for photodiode TIA front ends, where input current error and voltage noise directly set sensitivity. A feedback resistor (e.g., 1 Mohm) with a small compensation capacitor across Rf maintains phase margin against photodiode junction capacitance. Its 45 MHz bandwidth enables MHz-range optical signal detection; keep feedback node leakage guarded on the PCB.
Recommended
Precision ADC Driver
Driving 16-24 bit SAR or delta-sigma ADCs demands fast settling, low noise, and low offset. The OPA828s 150 V/us slew rate and 45 MHz GBW settle quickly between ADC conversions, while 50 uV offset and 0.45 uV/C drift preserve DC accuracy. Its rail-to-rail output maximizes ADC input swing on low supply rails; add an RC filter (e.g., 10-100 ohm + 1 nF) between amplifier and ADC input to absorb charge kickback.
Recommended
High-Fidelity Audio Signal Chain
The OPA828s 4 nV/Hz noise, 60 nVRMS 0.1-10 Hz noise, and 150 V/us slew rate deliver low THD+N and fast transient response for DAC I/V conversion, line gain, and headphone-driver gain stages. The wide +/-4 V to 36 V supply range fits standard +/-15 V audio rails. DIY and professional audio communities evaluate it against the OPA627, generally reporting similar tonal character with improved speed.
Recommended
Test and Measurement Signal Conditioning
Bench instruments, oscilloscope front ends, and data acquisition systems need amplifiers combining low noise with bandwidth. The OPA828 provides 45 MHz of small-signal bandwidth and MUX-friendly inputs that tolerate fast-switched multiplexed channels without long settling artifacts. Its JFET inputs present high impedance to probes and sensors; ensure supply decoupling of 0.1 uF per pin for wideband stability.
Recommended
Sensor Interface for Industrial Automation
High-impedance industrial sensors (piezoelectric, pH, photodetector arrays) benefit from the OPA828s 1 pA bias current and 50 uV offset. The 36 V supply range tolerates industrial supply rails, and MUX-friendly inputs allow several sensors to share one amplifier through an analog multiplexer. Design gain stages with 1% resistors and guard rings to preserve picoampere-level input accuracy in noisy environments.
Recommended
Active Filter and Buffer Circuits
The OPA828 builds high-order active low-pass, band-pass, and Sallen-Key filters whose cutoffs reach the MHz range thanks to the 45 MHz GBW, preserving accurate Q at high frequencies. As a buffer, its rail-to-rail output swings close to the rails into ADCs and cables. Watch for unity-gain stability requirements and use the HVSSOP DGN thermal pad variant for lower thermal impedance in dense layouts.

Key Differentiators
- 2x+ bandwidth and 5x slew rate vs predecessor-generation parts (vs OPA827)
- Rail-to-rail output stage (vs OPA627)
- Lower noise than the leading cross-brand JFET alternative (vs AD8610)
Design Notes
Decouple V+ and V- with 0.1 uF X7R ceramics placed within 2 mm of each supply pin, plus a 2.2-10 uF bulk capacitor per rail. Guard the inverting input node with a driven or grounded guard ring to preserve the 1 pA bias current advantage, especially on high-value TIA feedback resistors above 1 Mohm.
For transimpedance designs, calculate the feedback compensation capacitor Cf = sqrt(Cin / (2*pi*Rf*GBP)) to maintain 45 degrees of phase margin; with the OPA828s 45 MHz GBW, a 1 Mohm / 10 pF photodiode node typically needs a few tenths of a picofarad of Cf. Do not add stray capacitance at IN- via long traces.
When replacing OPA627 with OPA828, the rail-to-rail output changes output-stage behavior near the rails and the input common-mode range differs; TI E2E thread 1218326 documents a legacy TIA that failed after a simple swap. Validate DC operating point and compensation on the actual PCB, and check that no circuit node relies on the OPA627s emitter-follower output characteristics.
