What this single op amp delivers for your signal chain
The Texas Instruments OPA234E is a single-channel general-purpose operational amplifier in an 8-VSSOP package. It offers a gain-bandwidth product of 350 kHz and a slew rate of 0.2 V/µs, making it suitable for low-frequency signal conditioning, sensor buffering, and active filter stages where speed is secondary to stability and low power. Supply voltage spans 2.7 V to 36 V single supply. The -40°C to 125°C operating range covers automotive under-hood and factory-floor environments. Input offset voltage is 70 µV typical, input bias current 12 nA, and each channel can source or sink 22 mA. Quiescent supply current is 275 µA per amplifier — a reasonable trade-off for a general-purpose part that doesn't need rail-to-rail output.
Package and mounting — fits tight boards
The OPA234E is supplied in bulk (tube) and mounts as a surface-mount device. The 8-VSSOP package (3.00 mm body width) is footprint-compatible with standard MSOP-8 land patterns. No special thermal pad is required for this power level.
Lifecycle and compliance — active, no end-of-life concern
The OPA234E is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. For new designs or production replenishment, the part is available through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ.
