What this part is and where it fits
The OPA861IDBVT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel transconductance amplifier — its output is a current proportional to the differential input voltage, not a voltage swing.
Key ratings and what they mean for the design
The 900 V/µs slew rate and 80 MHz gain-bandwidth product define the small-signal bandwidth. Input bias current is 1 µA; input offset voltage is 3 mV typical. Output current capability is 15 mA per channel.
