Product details
Overview
LMC6061AIM/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a precision CMOS single micropower operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-input-bias-current, rail-to-rail output, single-supply instrumentation circuits. It delivers 100 µV input offset voltage, 20 µA supply current, 10 fA input bias current, 140 dB open-loop gain, and output swing within 10 mV of rails under 100 kΩ load - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered medical sensors and handheld analyzers.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6061AIM/NOPB datasheet, LMC6061AIM/NOPB pinout, LMC6061AIM/NOPB application, or LMC6061AIM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10 fA input bias current at 25°C, −55°C to +125°C operating range for the AM-grade variant, rail-to-rail output with ground-referenced input common-mode range, and compatibility with low-leakage guard-ring PCB layouts for photodiode and piezoelectric transducer interfaces.
Technical Context
The LMC6061AIM/NOPB uses an advanced double-poly silicon-gate CMOS process to achieve ultra-low input bias current without compromising voltage gain or stability. Its output stage derives directly from the internal integrator - not a push-pull buffer - enabling rail-to-rail swing while maintaining low output impedance and high large-signal voltage gain (≥400 V/mV at 100 kΩ).
It features feed-forward compensation for wide capacitive-load tolerance and stable operation with high-impedance feedback networks. Input common-mode range extends to V− (ground), supporting true single-supply operation down to 4.5 V, and its 140 dB open-loop gain ensures <0.01% gain error in precision instrumentation amplifier configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 100 µV typical - enables sub-mV DC accuracy in sensor front-ends without trimming |
| Supply Current | 20 µA typical at 5 V - supports >10-year battery life in continuous-monitoring devices |
| Input Bias Current | 10 fA typical at 25°C - preserves signal integrity in picoamp-level photodiode and piezoelectric charge amplifiers |
| Open-Loop Gain | 140 dB typical - ensures ≤0.01% gain error in 100× instrumentation amplifier topologies |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings within 10 mV of V+ and V− at 100 kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3 V or 5 V systems |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Includes V− (ground) - allows direct interfacing to grounded transducers and single-ended sensors |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 100 kHz - sufficient for DC-coupled precision measurement, integrators, and sample-and-hold circuits |
Pinout & Package
LMC6061AIM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with narrow body (M08A), 1.27 mm pitch, and surface-mount footprint. Thermal resistance θJA is 193°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Output | Amplified signal source | Rail-to-rail swing enables full utilization of ADC reference range; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥16 mA |
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Operates from 4.5 V to 15 V; supports single-supply and split-supply configurations |
| V− | Negative supply rail | Typically grounded in single-supply use; input common-mode extends to this pin |
| NC | No connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid latchup risk |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision micropower op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6062IM/NOPB | Dual-channel version with identical specs per channel; same 20 µA/channel supply current and 10 fA bias current | Reduces board space in multi-sensor systems but requires separate power routing for dual channels | Select when two matched amplifiers are needed in one package - e.g., instrumentation amp + reference buffer |
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture; 2 µV max offset vs. 800 µV max for LMC6061AIM/NOPB; 17 µA supply current; 0.65 µV/°C drift vs. 1.0 µV/°C | Better DC precision for long-term drift-critical applications, but higher cost and no guaranteed 10 fA bias current | Select when ultra-low offset drift dominates over ultra-low bias current - e.g., precision weight scales, not photodiode amps |
Compared with LMC6061AIM/NOPB, LMC6062IM/NOPB offers channel density at identical bias-current performance, while OPA333AIDBVR trades guaranteed femtoamp input bias for superior offset stability - making LMC6061AIM/NOPB uniquely suited for charge-integration and ultra-high-impedance sensor interfaces where leakage current is the dominant error source.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LMC6061AIM/NOPB?
The LMC6061AIM/NOPB is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C, matching the AM-grade specification defined in the National Semiconductor datasheet. This extended temperature range supports deployment in automotive engine compartments, industrial control cabinets, and outdoor medical equipment where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial limits.
Does the LMC6061AIM/NOPB support true single-supply operation with input signals at ground?
Yes, the LMC6061AIM/NOPB features an input common-mode voltage range that explicitly includes V−, allowing the non-inverting and inverting inputs to operate at 0 V when V− is grounded. This enables direct interfacing with grounded transducers, thermocouples, and bridge sensors without level-shifting circuitry - a core capability confirmed in the "General Description" and "DC Electrical Characteristics" sections of the datasheet.
What is the guaranteed input bias current for LMC6061AIM/NOPB across temperature?
The LMC6061AIM/NOPB guarantees a maximum input bias current of 100 fA at −55°C to +125°C, with typical performance at 10 fA at 25°C. This value is specified in the "DC Electrical Characteristics" table under the LMC6061AM column and validated by the "Input Bias Current vs Temperature" plot (Figure 01142217), confirming femtoamp-level leakage remains stable across the full operating range.
Can LMC6061AIM/NOPB drive capacitive loads directly, and what is the recommended approach?
The LMC6061AIM/NOPB is not optimized for direct capacitive load driving; its phase margin degrades with >100 pF loads. The datasheet recommends using a pull-up resistor to V+ (typically conducting ≥10 µA) or adding an RC network (R1/C1) in the feedback path to restore stability - as shown in Figure 2 and detailed in the "Capacitive Load Tolerance" section. These methods preserve pulse fidelity without requiring external isolation buffers.
Is LMC6061AIM/NOPB pin-compatible with other members of the LMC606x family?
Yes, the LMC6061AIM/NOPB shares identical 8-pin SOIC pinout with LMC6062 (dual) and LMC6064 (quad) variants - all follow the standard op-amp configuration (V+, In−, In+, V−, NC, Output, NC, NC). However, only the single-channel LMC6061AIM/NOPB provides guaranteed 10 fA input bias current; dual/quad versions specify 4 pA max, making them unsuitable for the most demanding high-impedance applications.
