Product details
Overview
LM7372MR from Texas Instruments is a high-speed dual voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video, xDSL, and pulse amplification. It delivers 3000 V/µs slew rate, 120 MHz gain bandwidth product, −80 dBc HD2 at 1 MHz (2 VP-P, RL = 100 Ω), ±150 mA output current, and operates on ±5 V to ±15 V supplies - enabling use as an ADSL line driver or HDTV video buffer.
For engineers reviewing the LM7372MR datasheet, LM7372MR pinout, LM7372MR application, or LM7372MR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 PowerPAD package details, dual-channel video/line-driver use cases, and TI-validated alternatives with documented harmonic distortion and thermal performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM7372MR employs a complementary bipolar Advance VIP™III process with class-AB output stage, enabling simultaneous high slew rate (3000 V/µs) and low distortion (−91 dBc HD3 at 1 MHz). Its voltage-feedback architecture supports stable operation at gains ≥ +2 or ≤ −1 without external compensation.
It integrates two independent amplifiers sharing supply rails, each capable of driving 100 Ω loads to ±13.4 V swing (±15 V supply) or ±2.8 V (±5 V supply), with input common-mode range extending to ±13 V and PSRR > 75 dB across supply variations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 3000 V/µs - enables clean 100-MHz small-signal response and fast settling for pulse amplification |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 120 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥ +2 up to ~200 MHz (−3 dB) |
| Output Current | ±150 mA - drives 100 Ω video lines or transformer-coupled xDSL interfaces without external buffers |
| Harmonic Distortion | −80 dBc HD2 / −91 dBc HD3 @ 1 MHz, 2 VP-P, RL = 100 Ω - meets CATV and ADSL spectral mask requirements |
| Supply Range | ±5 V to ±15 V - supports portable (±5 V) and high-dynamic-range (±15 V) signal chain designs |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.01% / 0.02° @ 3.58 MHz - preserves color fidelity in professional video camera signal paths |
| Input Voltage Noise | 14 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz - maintains SNR in ADC driver and precision pulse amplification stages |
Pinout & Package
LM7372MR is packaged in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD (DDA) with exposed thermal pad tied to V−. This thermally enhanced package achieves 47°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance when mounted with 2 in² copper heatsink (top/bottom layers, 1 oz Cu).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Channel A output - drives 100 Ω loads directly; requires local 0.1 µF bypass to V− |
| 2 | −IN A | Channel A inverting input - connects to feedback network for gain-setting configurations |
| 3 | +IN A | Channel A non-inverting input - referenced to ground or bias network for single-supply operation |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail - internal die attach ties exposed PowerPAD to this pin; must be low-impedance |
| 5 | +IN B | Channel B non-inverting input - electrically isolated from Channel A; shares V+ and V− rails |
| 6 | −IN B | Channel B inverting input - used independently for dual-path signal conditioning (e.g., differential video) |
| 7 | OUT B | Channel B output - identical drive capability to OUT A; supports independent load termination |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor required between V+ and V− near package pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High Output Current | ±150 mA per channel - eliminates need for external current boosters in laser diode or transformer driver circuits |
| Low Harmonic Distortion | −80 dBc HD2 / −91 dBc HD3 @ 1 MHz - ensures compliance with xDSL spectral emission limits and HDTV color accuracy |
| Wide Supply Range | Operates from ±5 V to ±15 V - supports both battery-powered portable gear and high-voltage broadcast equipment |
| Thermally Optimized Package | SO PowerPAD (DDA) with 47°C/W θJA - sustains full output current at 85°C ambient without derating |
| Stable at Unity-Gain-Inverted Configurations | Stable for gains ≥ +2 or ≤ −1 - enables direct use in inverting video gain blocks without stability compensation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3202D | Higher slew rate (4700 V/µs), lower supply current (11 mA), but only −68 dBc HD3 @ 1 MHz (RL = 100 Ω) | Better for ultrafast pulse shaping; less suitable for xDSL where harmonic suppression is critical | Select THS3202D when speed dominates over distortion; verify spectral purity in final layout |
| OPA2691U | Lower distortion (−92 dBc HD3 @ 1 MHz), wider GBW (320 MHz), but limited output current (±110 mA) | Preferred for wideband ADC drivers; insufficient for 100 Ω video line driving at full swing | Choose OPA2691U for high-resolution data acquisition; avoid for transformer or coaxial cable driving |
Compared with THS3202D and OPA2691U, LM7372MR uniquely balances ±150 mA drive, −91 dBc HD3, and SO PowerPAD thermal performance - making it optimal for xDSL line cards and broadcast video where both current delivery and spectral purity are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for LM7372MR?
The LM7372MR has an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. Its SO PowerPAD package achieves 47°C/W thermal resistance with proper PCB copper heatsinking, allowing full ±150 mA output current at 85°C ambient without exceeding the 150°C maximum junction temperature. Thermal design must include 2 in² of 1 oz copper connected to the exposed pad and V− pin.
Can LM7372MR operate on single-supply configurations?
Yes, LM7372MR supports single-supply operation down to +5 V total supply (e.g., V+ = 5 V, V− = 0 V), with input common-mode range extending to within 2 V of rails and output swing to within 1.2 V of each rail under 1 kΩ load. For optimal performance, bias the +IN pins at mid-supply using resistor dividers and bypass capacitors, as shown in Figure 24 of the SNOS926F datasheet.
What is the recommended PCB layout for LM7372MR's PowerPAD?
The LM7372MR's exposed PowerPAD must be soldered to a low-thermal-resistance copper area tied to V−. TI recommends connecting the pad to V− using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) spaced evenly beneath the pad, each landing on inner-layer 1 oz copper planes. Avoid floating the pad - die attach material is conductive and internally bonded to V−, so electrical isolation risks latch-up or damage.
How does LM7372MR compare to standard voltage-feedback op-amps in stability?
LM7372MR is unconditionally stable for closed-loop gains ≥ +2 or ≤ −1 without external compensation, unlike many high-speed op-amps requiring gain-setting resistors or feedback capacitors. This stability arises from its hybrid voltage-feedback architecture with current-feedback slewing characteristics, enabling direct use in video gain blocks and line drivers without risk of oscillation at high frequencies.
Is LM7372MR pin-compatible with other TI dual op-amps like LMH6624?
No, LM7372MR is not pin-compatible with LMH6624 or other TI dual op-amps. LM7372MR uses an 8-pin SO PowerPAD (DDA) pinout: OUT A, −IN A, +IN A, V−, +IN B, −IN B, OUT B, V+. LMH6624 uses an 8-pin SOIC with different pin assignments (e.g., V− at Pin 4, V+ at Pin 8, no dedicated PowerPAD). PCB redesign is required for substitution.
