The OPA172 is specified for operation from 4.5 V to 36 V (±2.25 V to ±18 V); many specifications apply from –40°C to +125°C. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating voltage or temperature are presented in the Typical Characteristics.

Place 0.1-μF bypass capacitors close to the power-supply terminals to reduce errors coupling in from noisy or high-impedance power supplies. For more detailed information on bypass capacitor placement, see the Layout section.
