Product details
Overview
LMC6041AIM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, micropower CMOS operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-input-current and rail-to-rail output applications. It delivers 2 fA typical input bias current, 10 µA/amp supply current, and operates from 4.5 V to 15 V single supply - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered pH probes and photodiode preamplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6041AIM/NOPB datasheet, LMC6041AIM/NOPB pinout, LMC6041AIM/NOPB application, or LMC6041AIM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified rail-to-rail output swing at 25 kΩ load, input common-mode range extending to ground, and confirmed 75 kHz gain-bandwidth product under 5 V operation.
Technical Context
The LMC6041AIM/NOPB employs TI's double-poly silicon-gate CMOS process to achieve ultra-low input leakage while maintaining stability across capacitive loads up to 1 nF when compensated with external components. Its architecture supports single-supply operation with input voltage range including ground and output swing within 30 mV of both rails at 100 kΩ load.
It features internal compensation optimized for low-power instrumentation topologies, including two-op-amp instrumentation amplifiers with <20 µA total quiescent current and high-impedance sample-and-hold circuits using polypropylene hold capacitors - all without requiring external pulldown resistors for ground-referenced outputs.

Pinout & Package
LMC6041AIM/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with industry-standard pinout and thermal characteristics suitable for surface-mount assembly on compact PCBs. The device uses a non-inverting configuration by default and requires no external biasing for ground-referenced inputs.

| 2 | Inverting input (–IN) | Primary feedback node; accepts differential or inverting configurations |
| 3 | Noninverting input (+IN) | High-impedance sensing node; compatible with guarded PCB traces |
| 4 | Negative supply (V–) | Ground reference in single-supply mode; connects to system GND |
| 6 | Output (OUT) | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 100 kΩ loads to within 13 mV of supply rails |
| 7 | Positive supply (V+) | Accepts 4.5–15 V; powers internal CMOS circuitry and output stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6061IM/NOPB | Higher GBW (1.3 MHz), 10× higher supply current (100 µA), same 2 fA input bias | Better for AC-coupled sensor signals above 10 kHz; unsuitable for multi-year battery use | Select when bandwidth >100 kHz is required and power budget allows ≥100 µA |
| TLV2461CDR | 250 pA input bias (125× higher than LMC6041), 25 µA supply current, rail-to-rail I/O | Lower cost; acceptable for pH buffers where 250 pA leakage is tolerable | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 250 pA input bias does not degrade measurement integrity |
Compared with LMC6041AIM/NOPB, LMC6061IM/NOPB trades ultra-low power for higher speed, while TLV2461CDR offers lower cost at the expense of 125× higher input leakage - making LMC6041AIM/NOPB uniquely suited for picoamp-level, battery-constrained instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMC6041AIM/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMC6041AIM/NOPB is 16 V, but the recommended operating range is 4.5 V to 15 V for reliable performance. Operation at 15.5 V is specified in the datasheet for single-supply conditions, and exceeding 16 V risks permanent damage to the internal CMOS structure. LMC6041AIM/NOPB must never be operated beyond its absolute maximum ratings, even momentarily.
Does LMC6041AIM/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input?
LMC6041AIM/NOPB does not support rail-to-rail input - its input common-mode range extends to ground and up to (V+) – 2.3 V at room temperature. This means it accepts signals down to 0 V (ground) but cannot reliably process inputs within 2.3 V of the positive rail. However, its rail-to-rail output capability remains fully functional across the entire supply range.
Can LMC6041AIM/NOPB drive a 10 nF capacitive load directly?
No, LMC6041AIM/NOPB is not stable driving 10 nF directly. The datasheet confirms stable operation only up to ~1 nF with appropriate external compensation (e.g., series resistor + feedback capacitor). Driving 10 nF without compensation causes severe peaking or oscillation due to phase margin loss; TI recommends using a 10–100 Ω isolation resistor plus guard ring layout for such loads.
What is the typical input offset voltage for LMC6041AIM/NOPB?
The typical input offset voltage for LMC6041AIM/NOPB is ±1 mV at 25°C, with a maximum of ±3 mV for the AI grade. Over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range, the maximum offset is ±3.3 mV. This low offset enables accurate DC-coupled amplification in pH probe buffers and transducer signal chains without frequent recalibration.
Is LMC6041AIM/NOPB pin-compatible with other LMC604x variants?
No, LMC6041AIM/NOPB is not pin-compatible with LMC6042 or LMC6044. It uses an 8-pin SOIC package with a unique pinout (e.g., pins 1/5/8 are NC), whereas LMC6042 shares the same 8-pin footprint but assigns active functions to those pins, and LMC6044 uses a 14-pin SOIC. PCB layout must be specific to the single-channel LMC6041AIM/NOPB.
