Overview

The OPA2134PA is a high-performance, dual-channel FET-input operational amplifier specifically optimized for high-fidelity audio applications. It features ultra-low distortion and noise, making it a standard choice for signal paths that require high transparency and sonic accuracy. Operating from a wide supply range of +/-2.5V to +/-18V, this amplifier provides high open-loop gain and high output swing capacity.

Why Choose This Part

This op-amp combines a 20 V/us slew rate with a 8 MHz bandwidth, ensuring fast transient response in audio signals. Its true FET-input stage provides extremely low input bias current, reducing DC offset errors in high-impedance circuits. The PDIP-8 package offers ease of prototyping and replacement in legacy hardware or breadboard designs.

Applications

Professional Audio Equipment
Ideal for mixing consoles, preamplifiers, and high-end studio gear where signal integrity is paramount.
High-Performance Line Drivers
Capable of driving audio cables with high speed and wide output swing while maintaining ultra-low distortion.
Active Filters
Utilized in high-order crossover networks and equalization circuits due to its true FET-input and unity-gain stability.
Audiophile Headphone Amplifiers
Commonly used in DIY and boutique audio designs for its warm sonic character and 8nV/rtHz noise floor.

Getting Started

When designing for audio, ensure the power supply is decoupled with 0.1uF ceramic capacitors placed as close to the V+ and V- pins as possible. The part is unity-gain stable, allowing it to be used as a simple buffer without external compensation. For best noise performance, keep feedback resistor values low to minimize thermal noise contributions.
