Product details
Overview
LMC6061IMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a precision single-channel CMOS micropower operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-input-bias-current, rail-to-rail output, single-supply operation. It delivers 100 µV max input offset voltage, 20 µA supply current, 10 fA input bias current, and rail-to-rail output swing within 10 mV of supply rails under 100 kΩ load - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered medical sensors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6061IMX/NOPB datasheet, LMC6061IMX/NOPB pinout, LMC6061IMX/NOPB application, or LMC6061IMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 140 dB open-loop gain, −55°C to +125°C extended temperature range (AM grade), input common-mode range extending to V−, and compatibility with photodiode preamplifier, charge amplifier, and true instrumentation amplifier topologies requiring sub-picoampere leakage control.
Technical Context
The LMC6061IMX/NOPB uses an internal integrator-based output stage instead of a conventional push-pull buffer, enabling rail-to-rail swing while maintaining low output impedance and high DC gain. Its double-Poly Silicon-Gate CMOS process ensures ultra-low input bias current and improved latchup immunity.
It supports stable operation with capacitive loads when paired with external compensation (e.g., pull-up resistor or RC network), and features feed-forward compensation to preserve phase margin across wide supply (4.5–15 V) and temperature (−55°C to +125°C) ranges - critical for single-supply sensor front-ends where ground-referenced inputs and minimal quiescent power are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 15 V single supply - enables direct integration into 5 V or 12 V battery-powered systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Bias Current | 10 fA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance transducer interfaces (e.g., piezoelectric sensors, pH electrodes). |
| Input Offset Voltage | 100 µV typical, 800 µV max (I-grade) - supports <0.01% gain accuracy in instrumentation amplifiers with 100× gain. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 140 dB typical - ensures <1 ppm error contribution in precision closed-loop configurations with ≥1000 V/V gain. |
| Output Swing | Within 10 mV of V+ and V− at 100 kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply data acquisition with 0–5 V ADCs. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 100 kHz - sufficient for DC-coupled sensor signal chains, integrators, and low-frequency active filters up to ~10 kHz. |
| Supply Current | 20 µA typical at 5 V - extends battery life beyond 10 years in 10 µA-sleep-cycle IoT sensor nodes. |
Pinout & Package
LMC6061IMX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package (TI package code M08A), surface-mount compatible with standard 1.27 mm pitch PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output | Amplified signal output; rail-to-rail swing capability enables full utilization of 0–5 V ADC input range. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (−) | High-impedance node; requires guarding to maintain <10 fA leakage in photodiode or charge amplifier applications. |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+) | Ground-referenced input support allows direct connection to transducer outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| 4 | V− (Ground or Negative Supply) | Reference for single-supply operation; input common-mode range includes this pin, enabling true ground-sensing. |
| 5 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines. |
| 6 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines. |
| 7 | V+ (Positive Supply) | Primary power rail; supports 4.5–15 V operation; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stability. |
| 8 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output stage | Delivers >99.8% of supply voltage swing at 100 kΩ load - eliminates need for dual supplies in portable medical devices. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6062IMX/NOPB | Dual-channel version in same SOIC-8 package; identical specs per channel but higher total supply current (40 µA). | Required when two independent precision amplifiers are needed on same board (e.g., differential sensor pair). | Select LMC6062IMX/NOPB only if dual-channel functionality justifies 2× quiescent power and shared thermal environment. |
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture; 2 µV max offset, 17 µA supply current, but 200 pA input bias current - 20,000× higher than LMC6061IMX/NOPB. | Better for DC-critical applications needing <1 µV drift/°C, but unsuitable for >100 MΩ source impedances. | Choose OPA333AIDBVR for ultra-low-offset DC measurement; retain LMC6061IMX/NOPB for femtoampere-level transducer interfacing. |
Compared with LMC6062IMX/NOPB and OPA333AIDBVR, the LMC6061IMX/NOPB uniquely balances femtoampere input bias current, rail-to-rail output, and single-supply ground-sensing capability - making it irreplaceable in photodiode, piezoelectric, and electrochemical sensor front-ends where leakage dominates error budgets.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LMC6061IMX/NOPB?
The LMC6061IMX/NOPB is rated for −40°C to +85°C (I-grade). For extended-range operation, the LMC6061AMJ/883 variant supports −55°C to +125°C. The IMX/NOPB suffix confirms commercial-grade SOIC packaging with tape-and-reel delivery, and all electrical specifications in the datasheet apply across its rated temperature range without derating.
Does LMC6061IMX/NOPB support true single-supply operation with input signals at ground potential?
Yes. The LMC6061IMX/NOPB features an input common-mode voltage range that explicitly includes V− (ground in single-supply configurations), allowing direct connection of 0 V-referenced transducers such as thermocouples or resistive bridge outputs without external biasing networks - a key enabler for simplified, low-power sensor front-ends.
Can LMC6061IMX/NOPB drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
The LMC6061IMX/NOPB is not unity-gain stable with direct capacitive loading. However, its feed-forward compensation architecture allows stable operation with up to 100 pF when combined with a 10 µA pull-up resistor to V+, or via RC compensation (e.g., Cf across Rf). TI's Application Hints (Figure 2 and 3) provide validated circuits for driving ADC input capacitance or long cables.
What is the significance of the "NOPB" suffix in LMC6061IMX/NOPB?
The "NOPB" suffix indicates lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant construction. LMC6061IMX/NOPB uses matte-tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3), requiring bake-before-reflow if exposed to ambient for >168 hours. This ensures compliance with global environmental regulations without performance trade-offs.
How does LMC6061IMX/NOPB compare to LMC6081 in terms of bandwidth and power trade-offs?
The LMC6061IMX/NOPB offers 100 kHz GBW and 20 µA supply current, optimized for ultra-low-power precision; the LMC6081 provides 1.3 MHz GBW and 120 µA supply current - a 13× speed increase at 6× higher quiescent power. Choose LMC6061IMX/NOPB for sub-100 kHz sensor conditioning where battery life is paramount; select LMC6081 only when faster settling (e.g., 10-bit ADC sampling at 100 kSPS) justifies the power penalty.
