Product details
Overview
LMC6081IN/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision single-channel CMOS operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-input-bias-current, rail-to-rail output swing (within 20mV of rails at 2kΩ), and single-supply operation from 4.5V to 15.5V. It delivers 123dB open-loop gain, 150μV typical input offset voltage, and 10fA typical input bias current - making it ideal for photodiode preamplification, medical sensor front-ends, and high-impedance transducer signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6081IN/NOPB datasheet, LMC6081IN/NOPB pinout, LMC6081IN/NOPB application, or LMC6081IN/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified input bias current ≤10fA at 25°C, guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing under 2kΩ load, confirmed SOIC-8 package compatibility, and documented performance in charge-amplifier and instrumentation-amplifier topologies with RES11A matched resistor networks.
Technical Context
The LMC6081IN/NOPB employs a proprietary CMOS input stage enabling input common-mode range extending to V– and ultra-low leakage (10fA), while its output stage uses a rail-to-rail complementary architecture delivering 20mV headroom at 2kΩ. Its 1.3MHz gain-bandwidth product and 0.8–1.5V/µs slew rate support precision DC and low-frequency AC signal amplification without phase-margin degradation in standard configurations.
Unlike micropower op-amps, the LMC6081IN/NOPB integrates enhanced latch-up immunity via process-level SCR suppression and maintains stability with capacitive loads when paired with external pull-up resistors or feedback compensation - critical for sample-and-hold and DAC buffer applications where output settling and leakage integrity are non-negotiable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input offset voltage | ±150 µV typical - enables sub-mV error in 12-bit+ precision DC measurement paths |
| Input bias current | 10 fA typical at 25°C - preserves signal integrity in >100 GΩ source impedance circuits (e.g., piezoelectric sensors) |
| Supply voltage range | 4.5V to 15.5V single supply - supports battery-powered portable instrumentation without dual-rail generation |
| Output swing | Within 20 mV of V+ and V– at 2kΩ - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems with limited headroom |
| Open-loop gain | 123 dB (400 V/mV) typical - ensures <0.01% gain error in unity-gain buffers and high-precision amplifiers |
| Gain bandwidth product | 1.3 MHz - sufficient for 10kHz bandwidth in G=100 configurations with stable phase margin |
| Input common-mode range | Includes V– (ground) - allows direct interfacing with grounded-sensor outputs without level-shifting circuitry |
Pinout & Package
LMC6081IN/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with industry-standard footprint and thermal resistance of 193°C/W (junction-to-ambient). Pin 1 and Pin 5 are no-connect (NC); all NC pins may be left floating per TI specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN (Pin 3) | Noninverting input | High-impedance node accepting signals down to V–; guard-ring routing required for <100fA leakage |
| –IN (Pin 2) | Inverting input | Feedback node; sensitive to stray capacitance - requires guarded trace layout per TI layout guidelines |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 2kΩ loads to within 20mV of rails; sinking/sourcing up to 30mA short-circuit current |
| V+ (Pin 7) | Positive supply | Highest potential rail; must be decoupled with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| V– (Pin 4) | Negative supply | Lowest potential rail (often ground in single-supply); reference for input common-mode and output swing |
| NC (Pins 1, 5, 8) | No internal connection | Electrically isolated; may be left unconnected or tied to V– for mechanical stability - no functional impact |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low input bias current | 10 fA typical at 25°C - enables accurate integration and charge amplification with pC-level input signals |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | 20 mV from rails at 2kΩ - eliminates need for level-shifting in single-supply data acquisition front-ends |
| Input common-mode range including V– | Operates with inputs at ground potential - simplifies interface to grounded transducers and bridge sensors |
| High open-loop gain | 123 dB (400 V/mV) - ensures <0.005% gain error in precision instrumentation amplifier topologies |
| Improved latch-up immunity | Process-hardened against SCR-triggering events - enhances reliability in noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision low-input-bias-current operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1050CN8#PBF | Chopper-stabilized architecture; 0.5µV max offset; 50pA input bias; 1.5MHz GBW; requires external nulling capacitor | Better DC accuracy but higher noise floor (25nV/√Hz vs 22nV/√Hz); less suitable for high-frequency photodiode pulse response | Select LTC1050CN8#PBF only when sub-µV offset dominates design requirements and chopper ripple is acceptable |
| OPA377AIDR | CMOS input; 250µV max offset; 10pA input bias; 10MHz GBW; rail-to-rail input/output; 1.8–5.5V supply | Higher bandwidth and rail-to-rail input, but narrower supply range limits use in 12V industrial systems | Choose OPA377AIDR for battery-powered portable devices needing >1MHz bandwidth and 3.3V operation |
Compared with LTC1050CN8#PBF and OPA377AIDR, the LMC6081IN/NOPB uniquely balances ultra-low bias current (10fA), wide 4.5–15.5V supply, and proven stability in charge-amplifier layouts - making it the preferred choice for legacy and new designs requiring robustness across temperature and supply variations without chopper artifacts.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMC6081IN/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMC6081IN/NOPB is 16V (V+ – V–), but the recommended operating range is 4.5V to 15.5V for single-supply use. Exceeding 15.5V risks reliability degradation, especially when sourcing current to V+ above 13V - as explicitly warned in TI's datasheet Section 5.1.
Does LMC6081IN/NOPB support rail-to-rail input?
No, LMC6081IN/NOPB does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode range extends to V– (including ground) but stops at (V+) – 1.9V minimum. This means the maximum allowable input voltage is typically ~1.9V below the positive rail - confirmed in Table 5.7 under "Input Voltage Common-Mode Range".
Can LMC6081IN/NOPB drive capacitive loads directly?
LMC6081IN/NOPB is not optimized for direct capacitive loading. As noted in Section 6.1.3, large capacitive loads reduce phase margin and cause oscillation. TI recommends using a pull-up resistor to V+ or adding R1/C1 compensation (Figure 6-2) - both validated methods for stabilizing LMC6081IN/NOPB when driving >100pF loads.
What is the quiescent current of LMC6081IN/NOPB at 5V supply?
At VS = 5V and TA = 25°C, the LMC6081IN/NOPB draws 0.45–0.75 mA per amplifier (Table 5.7). Over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), quiescent current rises to ≤0.9 mA - making it suitable for low-power portable instrumentation without compromising precision.
Is LMC6081IN/NOPB pin-compatible with other LMC608x variants?
No, LMC6081IN/NOPB is not pin-compatible with LMC6082 or LMC6084. While all share the SOIC-8 package footprint, the LMC6081IN/NOPB has only one amplifier channel and unique pin mapping (e.g., OUT on Pin 6, NC on Pins 1/5/8), whereas LMC6082 places OUT A on Pin 1 and OUT B on Pin 7 - requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
