Product details
Overview
LM6142AIM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, battery-powered instrumentation. It delivers 17 MHz gain-bandwidth, 30 V/μs slew rate, 650 μA per amplifier quiescent current, ±4000 V HBM ESD rating, and operates from 2.7 V to 24 V supply. It enables high-fidelity signal conditioning in depth sounders and barcode scanners where supply headroom and dynamic range are constrained.
For engineers reviewing the LM6142AIM/NOPB datasheet, LM6142AIM/NOPB pinout, LM6142AIM/NOPB application, or LM6142AIM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail CMVR (−0.25 V to 5.25 V at 5 V), output swing within 30 mV of rails (RL = 100 kΩ), 107 dB CMRR, 87 dB PSRR, and verified capacitive-load drive stability-critical for ADC buffering and single-supply sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The LM6142AIM/NOPB employs a patented dual-input-stage architecture (NPN + PNP) enabling true rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range beyond the supply rails (−0.25 V to +5.25 V at VS = 5 V), eliminating input clipping in single-supply systems. Its slew-boosted output stage achieves 30 V/μs slew rate while maintaining stability into ≥100 pF loads without external compensation.
It features internally trimmed input offset voltage (1 mV typ, 2.2 mV max over −40°C to +85°C), 126 MΩ common-mode input resistance, and open-loop gain of 108 dB (RL = 10 kΩ). The device is specified across 2.7 V–24 V supplies with thermal metrics validated for SOIC-8 (RθJA = 127.1°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-bandwidth product | 17 MHz at 50 kHz (typ); supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~10 MHz with unity-gain compensation. |
| Slew rate | 30 V/μs (typ); enables full-scale step response in <330 ns for 10 V output swing-critical for pulse amplification. |
| Input CMVR | −0.25 V to 5.25 V at VS = 5 V; accepts signals 0.25 V below negative rail and 0.25 V above positive rail-no level-shifting needed. |
| Output swing | Within 30 mV of rails (RL = 100 kΩ); preserves >99% of available dynamic range at low supply voltages. |
| Quiescent current | 650 μA per amplifier (typ); enables >100-hour battery life in 3.3 V, 10 μA-sleep microcontroller systems. |
| CMRR | 107 dB (typ); rejects >99.999% of common-mode interference-essential for precision sensor front-ends. |
| PSRR | 87 dB (typ); maintains DC accuracy despite ±100 mV supply ripple-key for noisy embedded power rails. |
Pinout & Package
LM6142AIM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Thermal resistance RθJA = 127.1°C/W ensures reliable operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C under typical PCB layout conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT A) | Amplifier A output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing; drives 100 kΩ load to within 30 mV of either supply rail. |
| 2 (−IN A) | Inverting input A | High-impedance node (126 MΩ); accepts common-mode signals from −0.25 V to +5.25 V at 5 V supply. |
| 3 (+IN A) | Non-inverting input A | Matches −IN A in bias current (250 nA typ); enables precision differential sensing with minimal offset drift. |
| 4 (V−) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; supports true 0 V input when tied to system GND. |
| 5 (+IN B) | Non-inverting input B | Electrically isolated from Channel A; enables independent dual-channel signal paths with >130 dB amp-to-amp isolation. |
| 6 (−IN B) | Inverting input B | Identical specs to Pin 2; allows matched dual instrumentation amplifier configurations without inter-channel crosstalk. |
| 7 (OUT B) | Amplifier B output | Functionally identical to Pin 1; supports simultaneous dual-signal processing in compact layouts. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.7 V–24 V; internal regulation ensures stable biasing across full voltage range and temperature. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2462IDR | Lower GBW (6.4 MHz), higher IQ (550 μA), same SOIC-8 package; 100% compatible pinout. | Not suitable for >100 kHz signal chains; better for ultra-low-power (<1 μA sleep) systems with relaxed bandwidth needs. | Select TLV2462IDR only if bandwidth ≤6 MHz suffices and supply current must be minimized below 600 μA. |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture (0.02 μV/°C drift), lower IQ (17 μA), but GBW = 350 kHz and slew rate = 0.16 V/μs. | Optimized for DC-critical applications (e.g., weigh scales); unsuitable for AC-coupled or wideband signal paths. | Choose OPA2333AIDR only when sub-μV offset drift dominates over speed-never for depth sounder or scanner use cases. |
Compared with TLV2462IDR and OPA2333AIDR, LM6142AIM/NOPB uniquely balances 17 MHz bandwidth, 30 V/μs slew rate, and 650 μA IQ in a standard SOIC-8, making it the only viable option for battery-powered, wideband analog front-ends requiring rail-to-rail performance without zero-drift trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM6142AIM/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LM6142AIM/NOPB is 33 V, as specified in Section 5.1 of the SNOS726E datasheet. Operation beyond this voltage risks permanent damage. Recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 32 V, with full electrical specifications guaranteed from 2.7 V to 24 V across −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Does LM6142AIM/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input at 3.3 V supply?
Yes. At VS = 3.3 V, LM6142AIM/NOPB maintains rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range from −0.25 V to +3.55 V, confirmed in Section 5.6 (VCM spec) and Figure 5-4 of the datasheet. This allows direct interfacing with 0–3.3 V sensors without external level shifting or clamping diodes.
Can LM6142AIM/NOPB drive a 1000 pF capacitive load stably?
No. LM6142AIM/NOPB is characterized for stable operation into ≥100 pF loads without external compensation, as noted in the "Description" section and Application Note SNOS726E Section 6.2.2. Driving 1000 pF requires a series isolation resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) between the output and load to prevent peaking or oscillation.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM6142AIM/NOPB over temperature?
For LM6142AIM/NOPB (AI grade), input offset voltage is 2.2 mV maximum over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, per Section 5.6 of SNOS726E. The typical value is 1 mV at 25°C, with drift of 3 µV/°C, resulting in predictable, bounded error in precision DC-coupled circuits.
Is LM6142AIM/NOPB RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The /NOPB suffix explicitly denotes lead-free and RoHS-compliant packaging. LM6142AIM/NOPB uses matte tin lead finish on its SOIC-8 package and meets all requirements of Directive 2011/65/EU, including exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature type solders.
