Product details
Overview
LM7321MA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for high-output-current, wide-supply, and capacitive-load-tolerant applications. It delivers ±125mA output current, 24MHz gain bandwidth, 35V/µs slew rate, and operates from ±1.35V to ±16V (2.7V–32V total), enabling use in automotive power supply monitoring and MOSFET gate driving.
For engineers reviewing the LM7321MA/NOPB datasheet, LM7321MA/NOPB pinout, LM7321MA/NOPB application, or LM7321MA/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package details, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, and real-world implementation guidance for high-side sensing, photodiode biasing, and analog optocoupler driving.
Technical Context
The LM7321MA/NOPB employs a robust output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ±125mA while maintaining stability into unlimited capacitive loads - a key differentiator versus standard rail-to-rail op amps. Its input common-mode range extends 0.1V beyond both rails, supporting true high-side and low-side current sensing across its full 2.7V–32V supply range.
With 12nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 1pA/√Hz input current noise, and −113dB THD+N at 1kHz, it maintains precision signal integrity in demanding analog front-ends. All electrical characteristics are fully specified from −40°C to +125°C and across supply voltages including ±5V and ±15V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 32V (±1.35V to ±16V) - supports single- and dual-supply industrial and automotive systems without level-shifting. |
| Output Current | ±125mA - drives power transistors, MOSFET gates, and capacitive loads directly without external buffers. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 24MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~1MHz with moderate gain, suitable for active filtering and fast-settling sensor interfaces. |
| Slew Rate | 35V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transient signals (e.g., pulse-width modulated references) without distortion. |
| Capacitive Load Tolerance | Unlimited - eliminates need for isolation resistors when driving ADC inputs, LCD column drivers, or long cables. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (V−) − 0.1V to (V+) + 0.1V - enables direct connection to ground-referenced or above-rail sensors in high-side configurations. |
| THD+N | −113dB at 1kHz - preserves dynamic range in audio and precision measurement paths where harmonic contamination must be minimized. |
Pinout & Package
LM7321MA/NOPB is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90mm × 3.90mm, rated for surface-mount assembly and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N/C | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or grounding required. |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input - accepts feedback or differential signal; rail-to-rail common-mode range enables flexible topology selection. |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - accepts reference or sensor signal; immune to input phase reversal due to extended common-mode range. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply terminal - connects to system ground (in single-supply) or negative rail (in dual-supply); supports −16V minimum. |
| 5 | N/C | No internal connection - electrically isolated; PCB pad may be omitted or used for thermal relief. |
| 6 | OUT | Amplifier output - delivers ±125mA into capacitive or resistive loads; rail-to-rail swing minimizes headroom loss. |
| 7 | N/C | No internal connection - unused pin; no electrical function or thermal role. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts up to +16V; supplies internal bias circuitry and output stage; insensitive to supply ripple. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-output-current, rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2376AIDR | Lower output current (±50mA), lower noise (7.5nV/√Hz), but no AEC-Q100 qualification; SOIC-8 package. | Preferred for precision low-noise instrumentation where high drive strength is unnecessary. | Select OPA2376AIDR only when automotive qualification is not required and output current demand stays below ±50mA. |
| AD8676ARZ | Higher precision (50µV VOS), lower noise (2.8nV/√Hz), but limited output current (±30mA) and no unlimited capacitive load support. | Suitable for metrology-grade DC-coupled amplifiers, not for capacitive load or power device driving. | Choose AD8676ARZ for ultra-low-offset, low-noise DC applications - avoid where >±30mA drive or capacitive stability is needed. |
Compared with OPA2376AIDR and AD8676ARZ, LM7321MA/NOPB uniquely combines automotive qualification, ±125mA drive, and unlimited capacitive load tolerance - making it irreplaceable in high-reliability power interface and sensor excitation roles where those three attributes intersect.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM7321MA/NOPB can drive without external compensation?
The LM7321MA/NOPB is explicitly designed to drive unlimited capacitive loads without oscillation or instability - a feature confirmed in TI's datasheet Figure 5-31 and Section 6.4.1. This eliminates the need for series isolation resistors when driving ADC inputs, LCD column lines, or long PCB traces, simplifying layout and reducing component count. The LM7321MA/NOPB achieves this via internal compensation optimized for high-current output stages.
Is LM7321MA/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM7321MA/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, meaning it is tested and certified for operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature - meeting requirements for engine compartment and powertrain electronics. This qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity testing, and lifetime reliability validation per automotive standards, making LM7321MA/NOPB suitable for battery monitoring, EPS, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LM7321MA/NOPB?
The LM7321MA/NOPB features a true rail-to-rail input stage with common-mode range extending 0.1V beyond both supply rails: (V−) − 0.1V to (V+) + 0.1V. This allows direct connection to ground-referenced sensors in high-side configurations or to signals exceeding the supply - critical for accurate current sensing and photodiode biasing. The specification is guaranteed over full temperature and supply range.
Can LM7321MA/NOPB operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, LM7321MA/NOPB is fully specified down to 2.7V total supply voltage - including single 3.3V operation. At 3.3V, it maintains rail-to-rail input/output swing, 12nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and ±60mA output current (per datasheet Section 5.5). Its parameters remain stable across supply voltage, making LM7321MA/NOPB ideal for battery-powered portable instrumentation and low-voltage industrial controls.
What package type is used for LM7321MA/NOPB?
LM7321MA/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) outline measuring 4.90mm × 3.90mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly, offers good thermal performance (θJA = 133.5°C/W), and is pin-compatible with numerous industry-standard op amps - facilitating drop-in replacement in existing designs where electrical specs align.
