Product details
Overview
LM8261M5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for high-output-current, unlimited capacitive load driving, and wide supply operation. It delivers 35 V/µs slew rate, 24 MHz gain-bandwidth product, ±125 mA short-circuit output current, and operates from 2.7 V to 32 V. It serves as a VCOM driver in TFT-LCD panels and as a low-noise buffer in precision A/D converter front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LM8261M5/NOPB datasheet, LM8261M5/NOPB pinout, LM8261M5/NOPB application, or LM8261M5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed unlimited capacitive load stability, rail-to-rail I/O at 3 V, 12 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, THD+N < 0.00022%, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained analog signal paths.
Technical Context
The LM8261M5/NOPB employs a proprietary output stage architecture enabling stable operation into unlimited capacitive loads without external isolation resistors-critical for TFT-LCD VCOM buffering where load capacitance exceeds 1 µF. Its >90 dB common-mode rejection over full rail-to-rail input range supports accurate high-side and low-side current sensing without level-shifting circuitry.
Designed for single- or dual-supply use, it maintains consistent 1.35 mA quiescent current across 2.7–32 V supply range and exhibits minimal parameter drift versus supply variation. Input voltage noise (12 nV/√Hz) and current noise (1 pA/√Hz) are specified at 1 kHz and validated over −40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-distortion unity-gain buffer isolating source impedance and driving ADC input capacitance (typically 10–30 pF). Use Value: Preserves SNR and ENOB via 12 nV/√Hz noise and <0.00022% THD+N, while rail-to-rail output swing maximizes ADC input dynamic range utilization. |
| High-Side Current Sensing | Headphone Amplifier |
Use Scenario: Measuring load current on the high-side of a 12–24 V power rail using a shunt resistor and differential amplifier configuration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential input stage rejecting common-mode voltage up to 32 V while amplifying small mV-level shunt voltage drops. Use Value: 90 dB CMRR and rail-to-rail input enable accurate measurement without level-shifting ICs or precision matched resistor networks. |
Use Scenario: Delivering low-distortion audio to stereo 16–32 Ω headphone loads in portable media players or docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-supply output stage delivering ±125 mA peak current with rail-to-rail swing into reactive loads. Use Value: Direct drive capability eliminates output coupling capacitors, reducing size/cost and extending bass response down to 20 Hz without DC blocking artifacts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rail-to-rail, high-output-current op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2782IDR | Lower supply range (1.8–10 V), lower output current (±40 mA), 10 MHz GBW, higher input bias current (1 pA typical vs. 0.4 µA). | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage battery-powered sensors; insufficient for 24 V VCOM or high-current headphone drive. | Select TLV2782IDR only when supply is ≤10 V and load current <40 mA; not drop-in for LM8261M5/NOPB's 32 V/±125 mA use cases. |
| OPA2350UA | 24 MHz GBW, 33 V/µs slew rate, but limited to ±16 V supply (32 V max), lower output current (±50 mA), no guaranteed unlimited capacitive load drive. | Acceptable for medium-current 16-bit ADC buffering but requires external compensation for >100 nF loads and cannot replace LM8261M5/NOPB in TFT-LCD VCOM roles. | Choose OPA2350UA for precision low-noise applications below 50 mA load; verify stability with RC isolation if driving >100 nF. |
Compared with TLV2782IDR and OPA2350UA, the LM8261M5/NOPB uniquely combines 32 V operation, ±125 mA output, and guaranteed unlimited capacitive load stability-making it irreplaceable in TFT-LCD VCOM and industrial high-side sensing where those three parameters coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM8261M5/NOPB can drive without oscillation?
The LM8261M5/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed for stable operation into unlimited capacitive loads-including values exceeding 1 µF-as confirmed in TI's datasheet Figure 5-29 (overshoot vs. cap load) and Section 6.1. This eliminates the need for series isolation resistors in TFT-LCD VCOM and ADC buffer applications, unlike most general-purpose op-amps which require careful compensation above 100–500 pF.
Does the LM8261M5/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input at 3 V supply?
Yes-the LM8261M5/NOPB features rail-to-rail input with common-mode voltage range spanning V− to V+, verified down to 3 V total supply (e.g., V+ = 3 V, V− = 0 V). Its input stage operates linearly across the full supply range, enabling accurate sensing and buffering even in low-voltage battery-powered systems without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the LM8261M5/NOPB in SOT-23-5 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for the LM8261M5/NOPB in the DBV (SOT-23-5) package is 185.4°C/W, as specified in Section 5.4 of the TI datasheet. This value assumes standard PCB mounting with no copper pour; adding thermal vias and copper area beneath the pad reduces effective RθJA and improves power handling capability.
Can the LM8261M5/NOPB be used in single-supply headphone amplifier applications?
Yes-the LM8261M5/NOPB supports single-supply operation (e.g., V+ = 5 V, V− = GND) and delivers ±125 mA output current with rail-to-rail output swing. Its <0.00022% THD+N at 1 kHz and 12 nV/√Hz input voltage noise make it suitable for driving 16–32 Ω headphones directly, eliminating coupling capacitors and preserving low-frequency response.
What is the ESD rating of the LM8261M5/NOPB?
The LM8261M5/NOPB has an HBM ESD rating of ±2000 V and a CDM rating of ±1500 V per JEDEC JS-001 and JS-002 standards. These ratings reflect robust on-chip protection diodes and allow safe handling in standard ESD-controlled environments without requiring additional external protection in typical PCB layouts.
