Product details
Overview
LM6172IN/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual, high-speed, low-power, voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video, communications, and precision analog signal conditioning. It delivers 100MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 3000V/μs slew rate, ±15V or ±5V operation, 50mA output current per channel, and 2.3mA supply current per channel - enabling high-fidelity NTSC/PAL amplification and ADC/DAC buffering in compact systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM6172IN/NOPB datasheet, LM6172IN/NOPB pinout, LM6172IN/NOPB application, or LM6172IN/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel voltage-feedback architecture, SOIC-8 package compatibility, ±5V/±15V dual-supply flexibility, 0.1% settling time of 65ns, and specified performance across −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The LM6172IN/NOPB employs a symmetrical Class AB input stage with triple-buffered output topology, delivering unity-gain stability without external compensation. Its slew rate is internally current-limited and scales with input differential voltage, enabling predictable large-signal response in gain configurations ≥ +1.
It features matched channel bandwidth (≤2MHz mismatch), low 12nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 10kHz, and robust 70dB CMRR up to 1MHz - supporting high-accuracy differential signal paths in ADSL drivers and scanner I-to-V converters where crosstalk and distortion must be minimized.

| Output current | 50mA/channel continuous (RL = 100Ω) - drives 75Ω video loads or ADC input capacitors without external boost |
| Input offset voltage | 0.4mV typical (±15V), 0.1mV typical (±5V) - ensures DC accuracy in precision I-to-V conversion and sensor signal chains |
| Harmonic distortion | HD2 = −88dBc, HD3 = −93dBc (fIN = 10kHz, ±15V) - meets broadcast-grade NTSC/PAL differential gain/phase specs (0.28%/0.6°) |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded video and telecom infrastructure applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM6171N/NOPB | Single-channel version; identical electrical specs except single output and 8-pin PDIP-only packaging | Used where only one high-speed amplifier is needed; lacks dual-channel integration for space-constrained designs | Select when board area allows discrete placement and dual-channel correlation is not required |
| THS3201DR | Current-feedback architecture; 3750V/μs slew rate but requires external compensation; higher supply current (12mA) | Better for ultra-high-speed (>200MHz) applications but less stable at low gains and more layout-sensitive | Prefer for >150MHz closed-loop bandwidth needs where THS3201's CFB advantages outweigh added design complexity |
Compared with LM6171N/NOPB, LM6172IN/NOPB provides dual-channel integration in SOIC-8, reducing PCB area by ~40%; versus THS3201DR, it offers simpler voltage-feedback stability and lower power, trading peak speed for ease of use in 100MHz-class video and comms systems.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the LM6172IN/NOPB support?
The LM6172IN/NOPB operates from ±5V to ±15V dual supplies. At ±15V, it delivers 100MHz bandwidth and 3000V/μs slew rate; at ±5V, bandwidth reduces to 70MHz and slew rate to 750V/μs. Both configurations maintain 0.1% settling in ≤72ns and are fully specified over −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Is the LM6172IN/NOPB unity-gain stable?
Yes, the LM6172IN/NOPB is unity-gain stable without external compensation. Its voltage-feedback architecture and internal compensation network ensure stable operation with closed-loop gains of +1, −1, or higher. This eliminates the need for external feedback capacitors in most buffer and inverting amplifier configurations, simplifying layout and reducing component count.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM6172IN/NOPB can drive?
The LM6172IN/NOPB can directly drive up to 100pF without instability, per TI's application guidance. For larger capacitive loads (e.g., >150pF), a series isolation resistor (typically 10–100Ω) placed between the output and load restores phase margin. The device's triple-buffered output stage minimizes interaction between load capacitance and open-loop gain peaking.
Does the LM6172IN/NOPB have ESD protection?
Yes, the LM6172IN/NOPB features integrated ESD protection rated to ±3000V HBM (Human Body Model) and ±300V Machine Model. This level of protection supports safe handling during automated assembly and operation in environments with moderate electrostatic risk, though external TVS diodes are still recommended for I/O pins in harsh industrial settings.
How does the LM6172IN/NOPB compare to the LM6171N/NOPB?
The LM6172IN/NOPB is the dual-channel counterpart to the single-channel LM6171N/NOPB, sharing identical per-channel specifications including 100MHz bandwidth, 3000V/μs slew rate, and ±5V/±15V operation. However, LM6172IN/NOPB integrates both amplifiers in a single SOIC-8 package, whereas LM6171N/NOPB uses PDIP-8 and supports only one channel - making LM6172IN/NOPB optimal for space-constrained dual-path designs.
