Product details
Overview
LMC6492AEM/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a dual CMOS rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier designed for single-supply automotive sensor signal conditioning. It operates from 5V to 15V, delivers rail-to-rail output swing within 20 mV of supply rails at 100 kΩ load, features 150 fA input bias current and 120 dB open-loop gain, and supports −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range - enabling high-accuracy transducer amplification in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6492AEM/NOPB datasheet, LMC6492AEM/NOPB pinout, LMC6492AEM/NOPB application, or LMC6492AEM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low input current for high-impedance sensor interfacing, guaranteed rail-to-rail common-mode input beyond supply rails, wide temperature operation, and low offset voltage drift of 1.0 µV/°C in automotive-grade packaging.
Technical Context
The LMC6492AEM/NOPB employs a proprietary CMOS input stage enabling true rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range - extending 0.3 V beyond both supply rails - eliminating phase inversion and non-linear errors when sensing signals near or outside supply boundaries. Its output stage delivers rail-to-rail swing with sourcing/sinking capability up to ±30 mA and output impedance of ~110 Ω (sourcing) / ~80 Ω (sinking) at 5 V.
It achieves 82 dB CMRR and PSRR across 0 V to 15 V common-mode range, supports stable operation with capacitive loads via external series resistance, and maintains 1.3 V/µs slew rate and 1.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product at 15 V supply - optimized for precision DC and low-frequency AC signal conditioning in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 15.5 V - enables direct use in 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V automotive systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Bias Current | 150 fA typical - preserves signal integrity when interfacing with high-impedance sensors (e.g., piezoresistive pressure elements). |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.11 mV typical (LMC6492AE grade) - minimizes DC error in precision differential amplifiers and instrumentation circuits. |
| CMRR | 82 dB minimum (0 V ≤ VCM ≤ 15 V) - ensures accurate non-inverting gain accuracy despite supply noise or ground bounce. |
| Output Swing | Within 20 mV of rails at 100 kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in 5 V ADC front-ends and single-supply data acquisition. |
| Offset Drift | 1.0 µV/°C - maintains calibration stability over full −40°C to +125°C operating range in under-hood applications. |
| Slew Rate | 1.3 V/µs typical - supports clean step response for pressure/temperature transducer outputs up to ~10 kHz bandwidth. |
| Gain-Bandwidth | 1.5 MHz at VS = 15 V - sufficient for closed-loop gains up to ~150 in anti-aliasing filters and sensor interface stages. |
Pinout & Package
LMC6492AEM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package (NS Package Number M08A), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, with exposed pad not present. Pinout conforms to standard dual op-amp configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output A | Amplifier A output - drives downstream circuitry with rail-to-rail swing and 30 mA sourcing/sinking capability. |
| 2 | Inverting Input A | High-impedance (≥10 TΩ) negative input node - accepts feedback networks and sensor return paths without loading error. |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input A | Rail-to-rail common-mode input - accepts signals from −0.3 V to V+ + 0.3 V, enabling direct connection to grounded sensors. |
| 4 | V− (GND) | Negative supply terminal - referenced to system ground in single-supply operation; supports split-supply down to −10 V. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input B | Independent high-Z input for second channel - allows dual-sensor monitoring (e.g., pressure + temperature) on one die. |
| 6 | Inverting Input B | Second amplifier's feedback node - supports independent gain setting per channel without crosstalk (150 dB isolation). |
| 7 | Output B | Amplifier B output - electrically isolated from Output A; shares same supply rails and thermal environment. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply input - accepts 5 V to 15.5 V; internal regulation ensures stable biasing across voltage and temperature. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Use Value: Rail-to-rail input accommodates sensor offset near ground; 150 fA bias current prevents bridge imbalance error; 120 dB gain ensures <0.1% linearity over 100 kPa range. |
Use Scenario: Buffering and amplifying Nernst cell voltage (0.1–1.0 V) from zirconia-based oxygen sensors in exhaust systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-input-impedance unity-gain buffer followed by programmable gain stage - isolates fragile electrochemical cell from ECU loading. Use Value: Input common-mode range extending below ground allows direct connection to biased Nernst cell; 1.0 µV/°C drift maintains stoichiometric air-fuel ratio accuracy across thermal cycles. |
| Engine Coolant Temperature Monitoring | Wheel Speed Sensor Interface |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision transimpedance amplifier - converts thermistor current into calibrated voltage for ADC sampling. Use Value: Ultra-low input current avoids self-heating error in high-resistance thermistor legs (>10 kΩ at 25°C); rail-to-rail output fully utilizes 5 V ADC reference. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning analog sine-wave output from variable-reluctance wheel speed sensors before Schmitt-trigger digitization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, high-CMRR differential amplifier - rejects common-mode noise induced by ignition pulses and alternator ripple.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual rail-to-rail op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC2272CDR | Higher input bias current (1 pA), lower CMRR (70 dB), wider supply range (2.2–16 V), but no guaranteed rail-to-rail input beyond rails. | Limited suitability for sensors requiring sub-ground input swing; less accurate in high-noise engine bay environments. | Prefer LMC6492AEM/NOPB when input signals exceed supply rails or CMRR >80 dB is required. |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture, lower offset (2 µV), higher quiescent current (17 µA/channel), narrower temp range (−40°C to +125°C same), but no beyond-rail input capability. | Better DC precision for calibration-critical systems, but cannot replace LMC6492AEM/NOPB in circuits relying on input overvoltage tolerance. | Select LMC6492AEM/NOPB for robustness against sensor overvoltage and rail-exceeding common-mode; choose OPA2333AIDR only if microvolt-level offset dominates design. |
Compared with TLC2272CDR and OPA2333AIDR, the LMC6492AEM/NOPB uniquely combines guaranteed beyond-rail input operation, 150 fA bias current, and 82 dB CMRR across full voltage range - making it irreplaceable in automotive transducer interfaces where signal integrity at supply boundaries is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the LMC6492AEM/NOPB?
The LMC6492AEM/NOPB supports an input common-mode voltage range from (V− − 0.3 V) to (V+ + 0.3 V) at room temperature, with guaranteed operation from −0.25 V to V+ + 0.25 V over temperature. This allows direct interfacing with grounded sensors and eliminates phase inversion even when inputs exceed supply rails - a key differentiator versus standard rail-to-rail op-amps. Absolute maximum rating is ±0.3 V beyond rails; exceeding this requires external current limiting per Figure 3 in the datasheet.
Does the LMC6492AEM/NOPB support single-supply operation at 3.3 V?
No - the LMC6492AEM/NOPB has a minimum supply voltage of 2.5 V but is not characterized or guaranteed for rail-to-rail performance at 3.3 V. Its DC specifications (e.g., output swing, CMRR, input bias current) are validated at VS = 5 V and 15 V, and the datasheet specifies guaranteed operation from 5 V to 15.5 V. For 3.3 V systems, TI recommends alternatives such as the TLV2462 or OPA2316, which are fully specified at 3.3 V.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LMC6492AEM/NOPB in its SOIC package?
The LMC6492AEM/NOPB in the 8-pin SOIC package (M08A) has a thermal resistance θJA of 171°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. Layout practices - including copper pour under the package and thermal vias - can reduce effective θJA; however, the device's 500 µA/amplifier quiescent current limits self-heating, making thermal derating rarely necessary in typical automotive sensor applications.
Can the LMC6492AEM/NOPB drive a 600 Ω load rail-to-rail?
The LMC6492AEM/NOPB can drive a 600 Ω load but does not achieve full rail-to-rail swing under that condition. At VS = 5 V, output swing is guaranteed to be ≥4.24 V (high) and ≤0.65 V (low) - i.e., within ~0.76 V of each rail. To maintain <20 mV rail margin, a minimum load of 2 kΩ is required. For 600 Ω applications, verify output compliance in simulation or test using the sourcing/sinking current vs. output voltage curves (Figures 01204927–01204932).
Is the LMC6492AEM/NOPB qualified to AEC-Q100 for automotive use?
The LMC6492AEM/NOPB is not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified per its datasheet, but it is specified and tested for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature operation - matching the Grade 0 temperature requirement of AEC-Q100. It carries automotive-grade part numbering ('A' suffix denotes extended temperature), and TI provides automotive-grade support documentation. Customers requiring formal AEC-Q100 certification should consult TI's Automotive Qualification Report or consider the pin-compatible LMC6492QML-SP (space-grade) or newer automotive-qualified alternatives like the OPA2991-Q1.
