Product details
Overview
LM6144AIMX from Texas Instruments is a quad rail-to-rail input-output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, low-power precision signal conditioning. It delivers 17MHz gain-bandwidth, 30V/μs slew rate, 650μA/amplifier quiescent current, 107dB CMRR, and operates from 2.7V to 24V supply - enabling high-fidelity analog front-ends in battery-powered depth sounders and barcode scanners.
For engineers reviewing the LM6144AIMX datasheet, LM6144AIMX pinout, LM6144AIMX application, or LM6144AIMX equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed rail-to-rail input range (−0.25V to 5.25V at 5V), output swing within 30mV of rails (RL = 100kΩ), and stable operation driving capacitive loads - critical for ADC buffering and single-supply instrumentation amps.
Technical Context
The LM6144AIMX employs a patented dual-input-stage architecture (NPN + PNP) to achieve true rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range beyond the supply rails, eliminating input clipping concerns in single-supply systems. Its slew-boosted output stage enables 30V/μs transient response while maintaining stability with >1000pF capacitive loads without external compensation.
This device targets precision DC-coupled amplification where wide dynamic range, low offset drift (3µV/°C), and high open-loop gain (108dB at RL = 10kΩ) are required - particularly in 3-op-amp instrumentation amplifier topologies where input buffer impedance (>100MΩ) and CMR preservation are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 17MHz at 50kHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥100 up to ~170kHz for sensor signal amplification |
| Slew Rate | 30V/μs - enables accurate reproduction of fast transients in ultrasonic echo processing (e.g., fish finder pulse returns) |
| Input Voltage Range | −0.25V to 5.25V at VS = 5V - accepts signals 250mV below negative rail and 250mV above positive rail, simplifying level-shifting |
| Output Swing | Within 30mV of rails (RL = 100kΩ) - maximizes usable dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V systems, improving SNR |
| Quiescent Current | 650μA per amplifier - allows four-channel precision amplification in battery-operated devices with <2.6mA total IQ |
| CMRR | 107dB - rejects common-mode noise in noisy industrial or automotive environments without degrading differential signal integrity |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 24V - supports direct integration into both Li-ion portable systems and industrial 24V PLC analog I/O modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2464IDR | Lower GBW (6.4MHz), higher IQ (550μA/amplifier), no slew-boost architecture | Better DC precision (0.6mV VOS) but insufficient bandwidth for ultrasonic echo processing | Select when ultra-low offset dominates over speed; avoid in depth sounder front-ends requiring >10MHz closed-loop bandwidth |
| OPA4340UA | Higher GBW (5.5MHz), lower IQ (750μA/amplifier), rail-to-rail output only (not input) | Superior noise performance (12nV/√Hz) but limited input range restricts use with bipolar sensor outputs | Prefer for low-noise sensor interfaces where input common-mode stays within rails; not suitable for ±0.25V beyond-rail inputs |
Compared with TLV2464IDR and OPA4340UA, the LM6144AIMX uniquely combines 17MHz bandwidth, true rail-to-rail input/output, and 30V/μs slew rate at sub-1mA total quiescent current - making it the only option among the three for high-speed, single-supply, beyond-the-rails signal acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM6144AIMX?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LM6144AIMX is 33V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range remains 2.7V to 24V, and the device achieves optimal performance - including full rail-to-rail input/output swing and 17MHz gain-bandwidth - within that window. Always observe derating guidelines for thermal management at high VS.
Does LM6144AIMX support true rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, LM6144AIMX supports true rail-to-rail input with a common-mode voltage range extending 0.25V beyond both supply rails (e.g., −0.25V to 5.25V at VS = 5V). This is enabled by its patented dual-input-stage topology (NPN + PNP), allowing direct connection to sensors or DACs that swing below ground or above V+, without external level-shifting components. This capability is confirmed across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Can LM6144AIMX drive large capacitive loads without instability?
Yes, LM6144AIMX is explicitly characterized for stable operation with capacitive loads ≥1000pF, thanks to its internal slew-boosted output architecture and optimized compensation. Unlike many general-purpose op amps, it does not require external isolation resistors or feedback capacitors when driving ADC input capacitors, long traces, or LCD bias networks. Stability is verified across supply voltages (2.7V–24V) and temperatures (−40°C to +85°C).
What is the typical quiescent current per amplifier in LM6144AIMX?
The typical quiescent current per amplifier in LM6144AIMX is 650μA at VS = 5V and TA = 25°C, rising to 800μA maximum across temperature and process variation. At 2.7V supply, typical IQ drops to 510μA, supporting ultra-low-power modes. This value is measured under standard test conditions (RL > 1MΩ, VCM = VS/2, VO = VS/2) and directly enables four-channel precision amplification with <2.6mA total supply current - ideal for coin-cell or USB-powered devices.
How does the LM6144AIMX differ from older LM6144 variants like LM6144BINFF?
The LM6144AIMX uses the newer "RFB" die revision, which features improved slew-boosted architecture (vs. standard slew in older "GF6" die), tighter output swing specifications (e.g., 30mV from rail vs. 5mV in old die), and updated absolute maximum ratings (33V max VS vs. 35V). It retains identical pinout, electrical specs, and package (SOIC-14) as LM6144BINFF, ensuring drop-in compatibility. The AI grade denotes enhanced initial offset (0.3–1mV) and drift (3µV/°C) versus BI grade.
