Product details
Overview
LM321LVIDCKR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, low-voltage operational amplifier designed for cost-sensitive, battery-powered systems. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±1 mV input offset voltage, 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 40 nV/√Hz input voltage noise density, and consumes only 90 µA per channel. It serves as a precision signal conditioner in low-side current sensing and sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LM321LVIDCKR datasheet, LM321LVIDCKR pinout, LM321LVIDCKR application, or LM321LVIDCKR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SC70-5 package details, real-world use cases in power management and environmental sensing, and validated alternative options for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The LM321LVIDCKR uses a P-channel input differential pair enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to the negative supply (including ground), with an auxiliary N-channel pair preventing phase reversal during overdrive. Its internal architecture ensures unity-gain stability without external compensation.
It features EMI rejection ratio (EMIRR+) up to 120 dB at 100 MHz, robust 2-kV HBM ESD protection, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +125°C. Electrical characteristics-including open-loop gain (110–125 dB), PSRR (80–100 dB), and CMRR (63–92 dB)-are specified over full supply (2.7–5.5 V) and temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V logic, and dual-supply ±2.75 V operation without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1 mV (typ) - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification in sensor signal chains with ≤0.1% initial error at room temperature. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filtering, active low-pass stages up to ~100 kHz, and stable closed-loop gain ≥1 configurations. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA per channel - allows continuous operation in always-on battery monitors and IoT endpoint nodes with multi-year runtime. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 40 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - suitable for conditioning low-level signals from thermistors, RTDs, and bridge sensors without dominating system noise floor. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Extends to V− (ground) and within 1 V of V+ - permits direct interface with grounded shunt resistors and single-supply transducer outputs. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 40–75 mV of V− and 1 V of V+ - delivers usable dynamic range in 3.3 V systems with rail-referenced loads. |
Pinout & Package
LM321LVIDCKR is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 1.25 mm × 2.00 mm, optimized for space-constrained portable and wearable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN+ | Noninverting input | Accepts reference or sensor signal; high impedance (>1012 Ω) minimizes loading on high-Z sources like thermocouples. |
| 2: V− | Negative supply / ground | Reference node for single-supply operation; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 3: IN− | Inverting input | Feedback node for closed-loop configurations; matched input bias current (±15 pA) reduces offset drift in precision integrators. |
| 4: OUT | Amplifier output | Drives 2 kΩ minimum load; slew rate of 1.5 V/µs supports 10-bit settling in <5 µs for ADC front-end buffering. |
| 5: V+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; internal ESD diodes clamp transients to rails-external series resistors recommended for >10 mA surge events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal under overdrive | Eliminates output latch-up during input overvoltage events-critical for fault-tolerant current-sense and motor-control feedback loops. |
| Extended temperature range | –40°C to +125°C operation validated - enables deployment in automotive cabin modules, industrial HVAC controllers, and outdoor sensor nodes. |
| Low broadband noise | 40 nV/√Hz spectral density - preserves SNR in 20-bit ADC interfaces where amplifier noise dominates quantization error. |
| EMI rejection ratio | ≥100 dB from 100 MHz to 1 GHz - suppresses RF interference from Bluetooth/Wi-Fi coexistence in compact consumer electronics layouts. |
| Unity-gain stable | No external compensation required - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in gain-of-1 buffers and active filters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9001IDCKR | Lower input offset (0.75 mV typ), higher GBW (1 MHz), but 150 µA IQ - 67% higher quiescent current than LM321LVIDCKR. | Better DC precision for high-resolution data acquisition; less suitable for ultra-low-power always-on monitoring. | Choose TLV9001IDCKR when offset drift and long-term stability outweigh battery life requirements. |
| LM321MFX/NOPB | Same core architecture but in SOT-23-5 package; wider offset range (±3 mV max vs ±1 mV typ); identical 90 µA IQ and 1 MHz GBW. | Compatible for footprint-limited designs where ±3 mV offset is acceptable; not drop-in due to different thermal pad and pinout. | Choose LM321MFX/NOPB when legacy SOT-23 compatibility is prioritized over SC70 size reduction and tighter offset spec. |
Compared with TLV9001IDCKR and LM321MFX/NOPB, LM321LVIDCKR offers the lowest quiescent current among SC70-packaged alternatives while maintaining industry-standard offset and bandwidth-making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained industrial sensor nodes where long-term reliability is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for LM321LVIDCKR?
The LM321LVIDCKR is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its electrical characteristics-including input offset voltage, gain, and PSRR-are guaranteed across this range, making it suitable for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Does LM321LVIDCKR support rail-to-rail input or output?
LM321LVIDCKR supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range (down to V− and within 1 V of V+), but its output swing is limited to within 40–75 mV of V− and 1 V of V+. It does not provide rail-to-rail output-designers must ensure headroom for the intended load and supply voltage.
Can LM321LVIDCKR replace LM321 in existing designs?
LM321LVIDCKR is not a direct replacement for legacy LM321 due to lower supply voltage range (2.7–5.5 V vs 3–32 V), different input stage architecture, and SC70 packaging. It replaces LM321 only in new low-voltage, space-constrained designs where its 90 µA IQ and ±1 mV offset provide measurable benefit.
What is the overload recovery time of LM321LVIDCKR?
The LM321LVIDCKR has a typical overload recovery time of 1 µs, defined as the time required for the output to return from saturation to linear operation after an overdrive event. This enables fast response in comparator-like applications and transient-heavy current-sense circuits.
Is LM321LVIDCKR qualified for automotive applications?
LM321LVIDCKR is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates across –40°C to +125°C and includes 2-kV HBM ESD protection, it lacks automotive-specific stress testing, failure analysis reporting, and PPAP documentation required for Tier-1 automotive subsystems.
