Product details
Overview
LHV870LCX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, high-voltage, ultra-low-noise operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity audio and precision instrumentation. It delivers 2.7 nV/√Hz input voltage noise density, ±20 V/μs slew rate, and 55 MHz gain bandwidth product while operating from ±2.5 V to ±22 V supplies - enabling low-distortion signal amplification in professional audio preamplifiers and ultrasound front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LHV870LCX/NOPB datasheet, LHV870LCX/NOPB pinout, LHV870LCX/NOPB application, or LHV870LCX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.00003% THD+N at 3 VRMS, 140 dB open-loop gain into 600 Ω, and guaranteed stability with up to 100 pF capacitive loads - critical for active filter and line driver designs requiring wide dynamic range and DC accuracy.
Technical Context
The LHV870LCX/NOPB employs a proprietary high-voltage bipolar process to achieve simultaneous low noise (2.7 nV/√Hz), high slew rate (±20 V/μs), and exceptional DC precision (0.1 mV VOS, 120 dB CMRR/PSRR). Its output stage drives 600 Ω loads to within 1.4 V of either rail and supports ±26 mA continuous output current.
Designed for unity-gain stability, it maintains phase margin >60° with 100 pF capacitive loads and exhibits vanishingly low DC gain linearity error (0.000009%), making it suitable for RIAA phono preamps and high-resolution ADC driver stages where harmonic integrity and DC offset rejection are paramount.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.5 V to ±22 V - supports dual-rail operation across industrial and pro-audio supply rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Voltage Noise Density | 2.7 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz - enables sub-μV-level signal amplification in microphone and sensor front-ends. |
| Slew Rate | ±20 V/μs - preserves transient fidelity in fast-slewing audio waveforms and pulse amplification. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 55 MHz - allows stable closed-loop gains up to ~100× at 500 kHz for active crossover networks. |
| THD+N | 0.00003% @ 3 VRMS, 1 kHz, 2 kΩ - meets Class A audio preamp requirements for distortion-limited dynamic range. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 140 dB @ 600 Ω load - ensures <1 ppm gain error in precision transimpedance and reference buffer applications. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.1 mV (max) - minimizes DC error in DC-coupled instrumentation chains and active filters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, low-noise op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1612AIDR | Lower supply range (±2.25 V to ±18 V), 1.1 nV/√Hz noise, no short-circuit protection | Better suited for battery-powered audio; lacks LHV870LCX/NOPB's 600 Ω drive and high-voltage headroom | Select when ultra-low noise dominates over output drive and supply flexibility. |
| AD827JRZ | Higher noise (4.5 nV/√Hz), ±250 mA output, wider supply (±4 V to ±18 V), no 100 pF load guarantee | Preferred for high-current video line drivers; less optimal for precision audio due to higher distortion | Choose only if peak output current >±100 mA is required and THD+N >0.0001% is acceptable. |
Compared with OPA1612AIDR and AD827JRZ, the LHV870LCX/NOPB uniquely balances 2.7 nV/√Hz noise, ±20 V/μs slew rate, and 600 Ω drive capability within a 10-pin UQFN package - making it irreplaceable for high-fidelity, high-voltage analog signal chains where all three parameters are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LHV870LCX/NOPB can drive without instability?
The LHV870LCX/NOPB is specified for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100 pF. Driving larger loads requires isolation via a series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) placed between the output and the load capacitance to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking or oscillation. This requirement is confirmed in the "APPLICATION INFORMATION" section of the SNOSB50B datasheet.
Does the LHV870LCX/NOPB support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LHV870LCX/NOPB supports single-supply operation with a total supply voltage ranging from 5 V to 44 V (i.e., VCC = 0 V to VCC = 44 V, VEE = 0 V). Its input common-mode range extends to within 2 V of either rail, and output swings to within 1 V of VCC and 1.4 V of VEE under 2 kΩ load - enabling robust single-ended configurations in data acquisition systems.
What is the typical quiescent current of the LHV870LCX/NOPB?
The LHV870LCX/NOPB draws 5 mA typical total quiescent current (IS) at ±18 V supply with zero output load. Maximum quiescent current is 6.5 mA across temperature and supply variations. This value is measured per the Electrical Characteristics table in the SNOSB50B datasheet under "Total Quiescent Current".
Is the LHV870LCX/NOPB pin-compatible with other TI op-amps in the same package?
No - the LHV870LCX/NOPB uses a custom 10-pin UQFN (NKY0010A) pinout with five NC pins and non-standard placement of IN+, IN–, OUTPUT, VCC, and VEE. It is not pin-compatible with OPA16xx, TL07x, or any other TI op-amp family. Layout must follow the Connection Diagram in Figure 1 of the SNOSB50B datasheet.
Why is the LHV870LCX/NOPB marked "Not Recommended For New Designs"?
The LHV870LCX/NOPB is designated "Not Recommended For New Designs" by Texas Instruments due to strategic portfolio rationalization, not performance or reliability issues. It remains fully functional, in production, and supported with full datasheet documentation (SNOSB50B). Customers designing new products should evaluate TI's newer alternatives like OPA1612 or OPA827, but LHV870LCX/NOPB remains viable for legacy continuity and niche high-voltage audio applications.
