Product details
Overview
LM7171BIN/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a very high-speed, voltage-feedback amplifier optimized for video distribution, pulse amplification, and high-frequency signal conditioning. It delivers 4100 V/μs slew rate, 200 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 100 mA output current, and operates stably at gains ≥ +2 or −1 - enabling use in HDSL drivers, professional video cameras, and laser diode interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LM7171BIN/NOPB datasheet, LM7171BIN/NOPB pinout, LM7171BIN/NOPB application, or LM7171BIN/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ±15V/±5V dual-supply operation, low THD (−75 dBc at 5 MHz), differential gain/phase accuracy (0.01%/0.02°), and SOIC-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 122.5°C/W).
Technical Context
The LM7171BIN/NOPB employs a symmetrical Class AB input stage with triple-buffered output architecture to achieve CFA-like slew performance while retaining standard VFA configuration flexibility. Its internal degeneration resistor (RE) sets slew rate proportionality to input voltage, enabling predictable large-signal response across ±5V and ±15V supplies.
It maintains stability with noise gain ≥ +2 via phase margin of 50° (±15V) or 57° (±5V), supports capacitive loads up to 1000 pF without oscillation, and provides rail-to-rail output swing (±13.3 V into 1 kΩ at ±15V) with <0.1% settling in 42 ns (LM7171B grade).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 4100 V/μs at ±15V - enables clean 13-VPP pulses at >100 MHz without distortion |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 200 MHz (LM7171B) - supports full-power operation up to 100 MHz with 2× gain |
| Output Current | 100 mA sourcing/sinking into 100 Ω - drives coaxial cables, transformers, or laser diodes directly |
| Supply Current | 6.5 mA typical - achieves high speed with low power overhead in portable or multi-channel systems |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.01% / 0.02° - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements (SMPTE 253M) |
| THD + Noise | −75 dBc at 5 MHz (±15V, RL = 100 Ω) - preserves signal integrity in ADC/DAC interface and RF IF stages |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 mV max (LM7171A), 3 mV max (LM7171B) - minimizes DC error in precision gain blocks and active filters |
Pinout & Package
LM7171BIN/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 = 122.5°C/W enables reliable operation up to +85°C ambient without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 8 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no tie to ground or supply |
| 2 | Inverting Input | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; accepts standard resistive divider configurations |
| 3 | Noninverting Input | High-impedance input for signal source; supports single-ended or differential input topologies |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V−) | Connects to −15V or −5V rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stability |
| 6 | Output | Capable of ±13.3 V swing into 1 kΩ; drives 75-Ω video lines or 50-Ω RF traces directly |
| 7 | Positive Supply (V+) | Connects to +15V or +5V rail; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic + 10 μF tantalum bypassing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-feedback topology with CFA-level slew | Enables traditional op-amp circuits (I/V converters, integrators) while achieving 4100 V/μs - unlike true CFAs |
| Stable at noise gain ≥ +2 | Eliminates need for external compensation in gain-of-two video buffers or inverting amplifiers |
| ±5V and ±15V operation support | Single design covers both portable (±5V) and industrial/video (±15V) applications without redesign |
| Low harmonic distortion | HD2/HD3 ≤ −75 dBc/−88 dBc at 5 MHz ensures minimal spectral regrowth in CATV and fiber-optic transmitters |
| 100 mA linear output drive | Drives 75-Ω video loads, 50-Ω transmission lines, or laser diodes without external buffer stages |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM7171MA/NOPB | Same electrical specs; PDIP-8 package (9.81 × 9.43 mm), higher RθJA = 108°C/W | Preferred for prototyping or through-hole PCBs; unsuitable for high-density surface-mount layouts | Select when manual soldering, breadboarding, or thermal mass requirements favor DIP over SOIC |
| THS3201DR | Higher slew rate (6000 V/μs), lower supply current (5.5 mA), but only specified for ±15V; no ±5V rating | Optimized for fixed high-voltage systems; lacks dual-supply flexibility and video-grade distortion specs | Choose for ultra-fast pulse applications where ±5V operation and broadcast video linearity are not required |
Compared with LM7171MA/NOPB and THS3201DR, LM7171BIN/NOPB uniquely balances SOIC-8 compactness, dual-supply versatility (±5V/±15V), and broadcast-grade video fidelity - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-voltage, and video-critical designs.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the LM7171BIN/NOPB support?
The LM7171BIN/NOPB is fully specified for operation from ±5V (10 V total) and ±15V (30 V total) supplies. It functions across the full recommended range of 5.5 V to 36 V total supply voltage, with performance metrics including slew rate, bandwidth, and output swing explicitly characterized at both ±5V and ±15V in the official datasheet. This dual-supply flexibility makes LM7171BIN/NOPB suitable for both portable and industrial applications.
Is the LM7171BIN/NOPB stable in unity-gain configuration?
No - the LM7171BIN/NOPB is not unity-gain stable. It is designed for minimum stable noise gain of +2 (noninverting) or −1 (inverting). Attempting unity-gain operation will result in oscillation due to insufficient phase margin. For unity-gain applications, consider alternatives such as the OPA695 or THS3091, which are explicitly unity-gain stable. The LM7171BIN/NOPB datasheet confirms stability only at AV ≥ +2 or AV ≤ −1.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM7171BIN/NOPB can drive without compensation?
The LM7171BIN/NOPB can safely drive up to 1000 pF of capacitive load without external compensation while maintaining stability and specified settling time. This is validated in Figures 5-32 and 5-33 of the datasheet, which show closed-loop frequency response with CL = 1000 pF at ±5V and ±15V. For loads exceeding 1000 pF, a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) at the output is recommended to isolate capacitance and preserve phase margin.
Does the LM7171BIN/NOPB have ESD protection, and what are its ratings?
Yes, the LM7171BIN/NOPB includes integrated ESD protection rated per industry standards: ±2500 V HBM (Human Body Model) and ±1500 V CDM (Charged Device Model). These values are specified in Section 5.2 of the SNOS760D datasheet and reflect TI's robust process design. Proper handling per ANSI/ESDA-JEDEC JS-001 and JS-002 is still required during assembly to prevent latent damage.
How does the LM7171BIN/NOPB compare to current-feedback amplifiers (CFAs) in layout and application?
Unlike CFAs, the LM7171BIN/NOPB features high-impedance inputs on both inverting and noninverting terminals, allowing standard op-amp configurations - including photodiode transimpedance amplifiers, integrators, and active filters with feedback capacitors. CFAs require low-impedance inverting inputs and cannot tolerate feedback capacitance without instability. The LM7171BIN/NOPB delivers CFA-class slew (4100 V/μs) while retaining VFA design familiarity and circuit versatility.
