Product details
Overview
LM6211 MDC from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, rail-to-rail output (RRO), CMOS-input operational amplifier optimized for high-voltage, low-distortion signal conditioning. It operates from 5V to 24V single supply, delivers 20 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 5.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 10 kHz, and 5.6 V/μs slew rate - enabling precision active loop filters in wideband PLL systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM6211 MDC datasheet, LM6211 MDC pinout, LM6211 MDC application, or LM6211 MDC equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated SOT-23 pin mapping, real-world use cases in PLL loop filtering and strain gauge amplification, and two confirmed alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM6211 MDC employs a CMOS input stage with 2.3 pA typical input bias current and 5.5 pF input capacitance, enabling high-impedance sensor interfacing without gain peaking. Its ground-sensing input common-mode range (0 V to VS − 1.5 V) supports true single-supply operation down to the negative rail.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, it maintains ≥40° phase margin up to 100 pF capacitive load (RL = 2 kΩ, VS = 24 V). Output stage delivers rail-to-rail swing - within 150 mV of rails at 10 kΩ load - and short-circuit protection (25 mA sourcing / 38 mA sinking) without latch-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 5 V to 24 V single supply - enables direct integration into industrial 24 V control rails and portable 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 20 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain configurations up to 10× at 2 MHz, critical for fast-settling active PLL filters. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 5.5 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz - directly limits in-band phase noise contribution in VCO tuning voltage paths. |
| Input Bias Current | 2.3 pA max @ 25°C - prevents DC error accumulation in high-Z feedback networks (e.g., >10 MΩ loop filter resistors). |
| Slew Rate | 5.6 V/μs - ensures distortion-free reproduction of fast transient signals in microphone preamps and active filters. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.01% @ 1 kHz, 600 Ω load - meets fidelity requirements for audio-grade microphone amplifiers and instrumentation front-ends. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial motor control environments. |
Pinout & Package
LM6211 MDC is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (DC package code), with 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. Thermal resistance θJA = 178°C/W enables operation at full rating in compact PCB layouts without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Output | Amplified signal output | Rail-to-rail swing (≤150 mV from rails @ 10 kΩ) maximizes dynamic range for VCO tuning voltage generation. |
| 2 - Inverting Input (−) | Inverting input node | Low 5.5 pF input capacitance minimizes interaction with high-value feedback resistors in transimpedance configurations. |
| 3 - Non-Inverting Input (+) | Non-inverting input node | Ground-sensing capability (CMVR includes 0 V) allows direct connection to single-ended sensor outputs referenced to system ground. |
| 4 - V− | Negative supply terminal | Connects to system ground in single-supply operation; absolute max rating −0.3 V prevents damage during power sequencing. |
| 5 - V+ | Positive supply terminal | Accepts 5–24 V; internal overvoltage clamp protects against 25 V transients per Absolute Maximum Ratings. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low 1/f noise corner | 400 Hz - reduces low-frequency drift in strain gauge bridges and DC-coupled sensor interfaces. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 150 mV of both rails @ 10 kΩ - extends usable tuning voltage range for wideband VCOs in PLL synthesizers. |
| Ultra-low input current | 2.3 pA max - eliminates offset error in high-impedance photodiode transimpedance amplifiers and piezoelectric sensor buffers. |
| Stable with capacitive loads | ≥40° phase margin @ 100 pF (RL = 2 kΩ) - permits direct driving of ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces without external isolation resistors. |
| High PSRR & CMRR | 98 dB PSRR / 105 dB CMRR @ 24 V - rejects supply ripple and common-mode interference in noisy industrial power domains. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1611AIDBVR | Lower noise (1.1 nV/√Hz), but narrower supply range (±2.25 V to ±18 V), higher quiescent current (1.6 mA), and no rail-to-rail output. | Better suited for dual-supply audio line drivers; unsuitable for single-supply 24 V PLL loop filters due to output headroom limitations. | Select OPA1611AIDBVR only when ultra-low noise dominates over supply flexibility and output swing requirements. |
| ADA4898-1ARMZ | Higher slew rate (275 V/μs), wider bandwidth (290 MHz), but higher input bias current (1.2 μA) and noise (1.1 nV/√Hz), limited to 12 V max supply. | Optimized for high-speed data acquisition; incompatible with 24 V industrial rails and high-impedance sensor nodes due to bias current-induced offset. | Choose ADA4898-1ARMZ for high-frequency pulse amplification, not for low-drift, high-voltage precision analog signal chains. |
Compared with OPA1611AIDBVR and ADA4898-1ARMZ, LM6211 MDC uniquely balances 24 V operation, rail-to-rail output, sub-6 nV/√Hz noise, and picoampere input bias - making it the only viable option for single-supply, wide-tuning-range PLL active filters and high-Z sensor interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM6211 MDC can drive without external compensation?
The LM6211 MDC maintains ≥40° phase margin with up to 100 pF capacitive load when configured as a unity-gain buffer with RL = 2 kΩ and VS = 24 V. Beyond 100 pF, external compensation (e.g., isolation resistor or in-the-loop RC network) is required to prevent oscillation. This limit is verified in Figure 30 and Figure 31 of the official SNOSAH2C datasheet.
Does the LM6211 MDC support true single-supply operation with input signals at ground potential?
Yes. The LM6211 MDC features a ground-sensing input common-mode voltage range (0 V to VS − 1.5 V), allowing the non-inverting input (Pin 3) to accept signals referenced directly to system ground in single-supply configurations. This is explicitly confirmed in the Operating Ratings table and Application Notes section of the datasheet.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for LM6211 MDC at 24 V supply?
At VS = 24 V and TA = 25°C, the LM6211 MDC has a guaranteed input offset voltage of ±2.7 mV (maximum) and ±2.5 mV (typical), as specified in the 24V Electrical Characteristics table. Over the full −40°C to +125°C range, the maximum is ±3.0 mV, with average drift of ±2 μV/°C.
Can LM6211 MDC be used in transimpedance amplifier configurations for photodiode sensing?
Yes. With its 2.3 pA input bias current, 5.5 pF input capacitance, and low 1/f noise corner (400 Hz), the LM6211 MDC is well-suited for transimpedance amplifiers driving high-impedance photodiodes. The low input capacitance avoids gain peaking with large feedback resistors (e.g., 10–100 MΩ), preserving stability and bandwidth as detailed in the "Low Input Capacitance" Application Note.
Is LM6211 MDC pin-compatible with other SOT-23 op amps like LMV721 or TLV2461?
No. While all are 5-pin SOT-23 op amps, LM6211 MDC uses standard op amp pinout (Pin 1 = Output, Pin 2 = Inverting Input, Pin 3 = Non-Inverting Input, Pin 4 = V−, Pin 5 = V+), but LMV721 and TLV2461 follow different pin assignments (e.g., TLV2461 places V+ on Pin 8 in SOIC; SOT-23 variants differ). Direct replacement requires board-level verification - LM6211 MDC is not a drop-in substitute.
