1. LMP7718MME/NOPB Substitution Conclusion
A viable substitute with improvements in key performance parameters. As a general-purpose voltage-feedback amplifier, the LMP7718 fully meets and even exceeds the core requirements of the original transimpedance amplifier OPA2381. Its input bias current is as low as 0.1 pA (superior to 3 pA), resulting in lower error current introduced by the amplifier itself when converting weak photocurrent to voltage, leading to higher signal-to-noise ratio and precision. Its gain bandwidth product is 88 MHz (significantly higher than 18 MHz), providing wider signal bandwidth under the same closed-loop gain and superior dynamic performance. Furthermore, its supply voltage range (2V to 5.5V) fully covers and exceeds the original requirement, with pin-compatible packaging. Although labeled as a "standard amplifier," its ultra-low input bias current makes it an ideal choice for transimpedance applications. Substitution will not degrade system performance; on the contrary, it may offer benefits in bandwidth and precision.
2. ADA4891-2ARMZ-RL Substitution Conclusion
Not recommended as a direct substitute due to fundamental differences in core precision specifications. The ADA4891 is a high-speed CMOS amplifier with an input offset voltage as high as 2.5 mV (far exceeding 7 µV). Even in a unity-gain transimpedance configuration, this would generate a fixed mV-level DC error at the output. For processing photocurrent signals in the nA range or smaller, this error could completely swamp the valid signal, rendering the system inoperable. Although it features a very high slew rate (210V/µs) and gain bandwidth product (105 MHz), which are advantageous for large-signal, high-frequency voltage amplification, these cannot compensate for its critical weakness in DC precision. Additionally, its quiescent current (4.4mA per channel) is significantly higher. Unless the application is entirely insensitive to DC precision and demands extremely high speed, it is unsuitable as a substitute for the OPA2381.
