Product details
Overview
LM6171AIM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-speed, unity-gain-stable voltage-feedback amplifier optimized for video and precision analog signal conditioning. It delivers 3600 V/μs slew rate, 76 MHz unity-gain bandwidth (LM6171A), 110 dB CMRR, 2.5 mA supply current, and operates from ±5 V to ±15 V supplies - enabling high-fidelity NTSC/PAL line driving and ADC/DAC buffering in broadcast and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM6171AIM/NOPB datasheet, LM6171AIM/NOPB pinout, LM6171AIM/NOPB application, or LM6171AIM/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world video and data-converter interface use cases, thermal and stability characteristics under ±5 V and ±15 V operation, and validated alternative options for high-speed amplifier selection.
Technical Context
The LM6171AIM/NOPB uses a voltage-feedback architecture with internal compensation for unity-gain stability. Its high slew rate and wide bandwidth stem from a low-input-capacitance, high-transconductance input stage paired with a robust output stage capable of ±116 mA sourcing into 100 Ω at ±15 V.
It maintains >57° phase margin across supply voltages and load conditions, supports rail-to-rail output swing up to ±13.3 V (±15 V supplies) or ±3.5 V (±5 V supplies), and exhibits low 0.03% differential gain / 0.5° differential phase distortion - critical for composite video fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 3600 V/μs - enables clean 10–20 MHz pulse amplification without slewing distortion in HDTV or pulse detection circuits. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 76 MHz (LM6171A) - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥1 with ≤0.1% settling in <21 ns for fast data acquisition front-ends. |
| Supply Current | 2.5 mA typical - allows low-power operation in portable ±5 V systems while retaining high-speed performance. |
| CMRR | 110 dB - rejects common-mode noise in noisy industrial or broadcast environments, preserving signal integrity in differential-sense applications. |
| Output Swing | ±13.3 V (RL = 1 kΩ, ±15 V) - delivers full dynamic range for legacy analog video and test equipment requiring large signal excursions. |
| Differential Gain / Phase | 0.03% / 0.5° - meets NTSC/PAL broadcast specifications for minimal color fidelity loss in video distribution amplifiers. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 12 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz - ensures low-noise amplification in precision instrumentation and active filter stages. |
Pinout & Package
LM6171AIM/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.9 mm × 6 mm body size, with standard surface-mount footprint and thermal pad compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 8 | No Connect (N/C) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground/V+ for mechanical stability - no electrical function. |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting Input | Differential input node for feedback configuration; high-impedance (40 MΩ common-mode) and low bias current (1–3 μA). |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-Inverting Input | High-impedance input for single-ended or differential signal injection; matched to –IN for optimal CMRR. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply Rail | Accepts –5 V to –15 V; must be decoupled locally to minimize PSRR degradation above 100 kHz. |
| 6 (OUTPUT) | Amplified Output | Capable of ±116 mA drive into 100 Ω; requires series resistor or ferrite bead when driving capacitive loads >100 pF. |
| 7 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts +5 V to +15 V; dual-supply operation enables true bipolar signal handling and rail-symmetric output swing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-feedback topology | Enables intuitive gain-setting with standard resistive networks and predictable stability margins - unlike current-feedback amplifiers requiring specialized layout. |
| Unity-gain stability | Operates stably at AV = +1 without external compensation, simplifying design for buffer, gain-of-one, or active filter configurations. |
| ±5 V and ±15 V operation | Supports both portable battery-powered systems (±5 V) and high-dynamic-range test/broadcast gear (±15 V) with identical AC performance scaling. |
| Low distortion (HD2/HD3 < –90 dBc) | Maintains signal purity in ADC driver and video reconstruction paths where harmonic artifacts degrade SNR and image quality. |
| High output current drive | Delivers ±116 mA into 100 Ω at ±15 V - sufficient to directly drive 75 Ω video lines or multiple parallel ADC inputs without external buffers. |
Applications
| NTSC/PAL Video Distribution | ADC Driver for High-Speed Data Acquisition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed voltage-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3091DR | Higher slew rate (2000 V/μs), lower supply current (4.5 mA), but only specified for ±15 V - no ±5 V support. | Better suited for high-voltage pulse amplification; not drop-in for portable ±5 V designs. | Select THS3091DR when ±15 V operation and ultra-fast pulse fidelity are required, and board space allows SOIC-8 footprint. |
| OPA695ID | Current-feedback architecture (not voltage-feedback), 1.7 GHz GBW, 4300 V/μs slew rate, but requires careful feedback network design. | Superior bandwidth for RF/IF signal chains; unsuitable for precision DC-coupled or unity-gain stable applications. | Choose OPA695ID only for wideband AC-coupled applications where stability analysis and layout control can be rigorously enforced. |
Compared with THS3091DR and OPA695ID, LM6171AIM/NOPB offers guaranteed unity-gain stability, dual-supply flexibility, and proven video distortion performance - making it the preferred choice for broadcast, instrumentation, and mixed-signal interface designs where predictability and ease of use outweigh raw bandwidth.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the LM6171AIM/NOPB support?
The LM6171AIM/NOPB is fully specified for operation from ±5 V to ±15 V dual supplies, with tested performance across the full range including 2.5 mA typical supply current at ±5 V and 3600 V/μs slew rate at ±15 V. Absolute maximum supply voltage is 36 V (V+ – V–), and it remains unity-gain stable across all supported rails.
Is the LM6171AIM/NOPB unity-gain stable?
Yes, the LM6171AIM/NOPB is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. It achieves ≥57° phase margin and settles to 0.1% in 21 ns (LM6171A) at AV = −1 with ±15 V supplies and 500 Ω load - confirmed per TI's SNOS745D datasheet Section 5.5 and Figure 5-26.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM6171AIM/NOPB can drive?
The LM6171AIM/NOPB can reliably drive up to 100 pF without external compensation, as shown in Figure 5-23 and 5-40 of the datasheet. For loads >100 pF, a small series resistor (10–47 Ω) at the output is recommended to maintain stability and prevent peaking or oscillation.
Does the LM6171AIM/NOPB meet NTSC and PAL video specifications?
Yes - the LM6171AIM/NOPB delivers 0.03% differential gain and 0.5° differential phase error at 3.58 MHz with 75 Ω terminations, satisfying SMPTE and ITU-R BT.470 requirements for NTSC/PAL broadcast signal distribution as documented in Section 5.5 and Figure 5-44–5-49.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the LM6171AIM/NOPB in SOIC package?
The LM6171AIM/NOPB in the D (SOIC-8) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 122.5 °C/W for the A version and 172 °C/W for the B version, per Section 5.4 of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board mounting with no copper pour; actual thermal performance improves significantly with PCB copper heatsinking.
