Product details
Overview
LM7171BIM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a very high-speed, high-output-current voltage-feedback amplifier optimized for video distribution, pulse amplification, and HDSL/ADSL line drivers. It delivers 4100 V/μs slew rate, 200 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 100 mA output current, and operates on ±5 V or ±15 V supplies - enabling large-signal swing in professional video cameras and laser diode driver circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM7171BIM/NOPB datasheet, LM7171BIM/NOPB pinout, LM7171BIM/NOPB application, or LM7171BIM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include slew-rate-limited transient response, ±15 V supply compatibility, SOIC-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 172 °C/W), and differential gain/phase accuracy of 0.01%/0.02° for broadcast-grade signal integrity.
Technical Context
The LM7171BIM/NOPB uses a symmetrical Class AB input stage with triple-buffered output architecture to achieve CFA-like slew behavior while retaining standard VFA configuration flexibility. Its internal degeneration resistor (RE) sets slew rate proportionally to input voltage, enabling predictable large-signal dynamics at gains ≥ +2.
Stable for noise gains ≥ +2, it avoids CFA limitations in integrator, photodiode, or I-to-V applications. The device maintains 50° phase margin at ±15 V and supports ±13.35 V common-mode input range, making it suitable for DC-coupled video signal chains requiring wide dynamic range and low THD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 4100 V/μs at ±15 V, AV = +2 - enables sub-10 ns settling for 10 V step signals without slewing distortion |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 200 MHz (LM7171B) - supports full-power bandwidth up to ~140 MHz for 1 VPP signals |
| Output Current | ±100 mA linear output drive - sufficient for driving 50 Ω coaxial lines or transformer-coupled video loads |
| Supply Current | 6.5 mA typical at ±15 V - balances speed and power efficiency for portable and mains-powered systems |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.01% / 0.02° - meets SMPTE 259M broadcast video fidelity requirements |
| Input Offset Voltage | 3 mV max (−40°C to +85°C) - ensures minimal DC error in precision gain stages |
| THD @ 5 MHz | −75 dBc (2nd/3rd harmonic) - preserves signal purity in ADC/DAC interface and RF IF amplification |
Pinout & Package
LM7171BIM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.90 mm × 6.00 mm body size with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Thermal resistance RθJA = 172 °C/W enables operation up to +85°C ambient with moderate PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 8 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or grounding allowed |
| 2 | Inverting Input | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; sensitive to parasitic capacitance |
| 3 | Noninverting Input | High-impedance input for reference or signal source; requires matched trace length to Pin 2 |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V−) | Connects to −5 V or −15 V rail; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm |
| 6 | Output | Capable of sourcing/sinking 100 mA into 100 Ω load; layout must minimize inductance |
| 7 | Positive Supply (V+) | Connects to +5 V or +15 V rail; separate 0.1 μF ceramic + 4.7 μF tantalum decoupling recommended |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM7171AIM/NOPB | Higher precision: 1 mV max VOS, 16 ns settling (0.1%), 160 MHz unity-gain bandwidth | Better suited for DC-coupled instrumentation where offset drift dominates error budget | Select LM7171AIM/NOPB when VOS < 1 mV and settling < 20 ns are mandatory; LM7171BIM/NOPB preferred for cost-sensitive video drivers |
| THS3201DGN | Current-feedback architecture; 4300 V/μs slew, 1.8 GHz bandwidth, but unstable below G = +3 and incompatible with capacitive feedback | Requires redesign for integrator, photodiode, or I-to-V topologies due to low-Z inverting input | Choose THS3201DGN only for pure high-gain, AC-coupled, non-inverting video paths where layout allows strict CFA layout rules |
Compared with LM7171AIM/NOPB and THS3201DGN, LM7171BIM/NOPB offers the best balance of voltage-feedback design flexibility, 200 MHz bandwidth, and production-ready cost for broadcast video and DSL line drivers - without requiring layout-level CFA compensation or premium offset trimming.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the LM7171BIM/NOPB support?
The LM7171BIM/NOPB is fully specified for operation on ±5 V and ±15 V dual supplies. It supports total supply ranges from 5.5 V to 36 V, enabling use in both portable 5 V systems and legacy ±15 V industrial signal chains. At ±5 V, it delivers 950 V/μs slew rate and 125 MHz unity-gain bandwidth; at ±15 V, it achieves 4100 V/μs and 200 MHz - making LM7171BIM/NOPB adaptable across multiple power domains without circuit redesign.
Is the LM7171BIM/NOPB stable in unity-gain configuration?
No, the LM7171BIM/NOPB is not unity-gain stable. It is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable for noise gains ≥ +2 (i.e., minimum closed-loop gain of +2 V/V or −1 V/V). Attempting unity-gain operation risks oscillation due to insufficient phase margin. For unity-gain applications, consider alternatives like OPA695 or THS3091, or add external compensation per TI's Application Report SLOA058.
What is the maximum output current capability of the LM7171BIM/NOPB?
The LM7171BIM/NOPB delivers ±100 mA of continuous linear output current into a 100 Ω load at ±15 V supplies, with short-circuit current up to +140 mA / −135 mA. This enables direct driving of 75 Ω video lines (with series termination), transformer primaries, or laser diode anodes/cathodes without external boost transistors - a key advantage over general-purpose op-amps limited to ±20 mA.
How does the LM7171BIM/NOPB compare to the LM7171AIM/NOPB in performance?
The LM7171BIM/NOPB and LM7171AIM/NOPB share identical pinout, package, and core architecture, but differ in grade-specification: LM7171AIM/NOPB guarantees tighter input offset voltage (1 mV max vs. 3 mV max), faster 0.1% settling (16 ns vs. 42 ns), and higher unity-gain bandwidth (160 MHz vs. 200 MHz). LM7171BIM/NOPB trades minor DC precision for broader small-signal bandwidth - making it optimal for AC-coupled video and pulse applications where speed outweighs offset sensitivity.
Can the LM7171BIM/NOPB be used in photodiode transimpedance amplifiers?
Yes, the LM7171BIM/NOPB is suitable for photodiode TIA applications due to its true voltage-feedback topology, high input impedance at both terminals, and absence of CFA-style low-Z inverting input limitations. Unlike current-feedback amplifiers, it supports stable operation with feedback capacitors required for bandwidth limiting and noise optimization - confirmed by TI's Application Report SLOA058 and Layout Guide SLVA727.
