Product details
Overview
LMC6492BEMX 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, 120 dB open-loop gain, and −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range-enabling high-accuracy pressure, oxygen, and temperature sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6492BEMX datasheet, LMC6492BEMX pinout, LMC6492BEMX application, or LMC6492BEMX equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low input current for high-impedance transducer interfacing, guaranteed rail-to-rail common-mode input beyond supply rails, CMRR of 82 dB at 0–15 VCM, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with automotive-grade thermal performance (θJA = 171°C/W).
Technical Context
The LMC6492BEMX employs a proprietary CMOS input stage enabling true rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range (V− −0.25 V to V+ +0.25 V), eliminating phase inversion when inputs exceed supply rails-a critical advantage over Bi-FET amplifiers in automotive transducer interfaces. Its output stage provides complementary rail-to-rail sourcing/sinking capability with 110 Ω sourcing and 80 Ω sinking impedance at 5 V supply.
It achieves 82 dB CMRR and PSRR across 0–15 V common-mode range and 5–15 V supply range, supporting stable operation in noisy automotive environments. The 1.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 1.3 V/µs slew rate (at 15 V) enable accurate low-frequency sensor signal amplification without stability compromise under capacitive loads when properly compensated.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 5 V to 15 V - supports direct interface with standard automotive 5 V and 12 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Bias Current | 150 fA typical - enables direct connection to high-impedance sensors (e.g., piezoresistive pressure bridges) without significant offset error. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 120 dB (10⁶ V/V) at RL = 100 kΩ - ensures <0.001% gain error in precision non-inverting configurations. |
| CMRR | 82 dB minimum (0–15 V VCM, V+ = 15 V) - maintains accuracy in differential sensing despite power rail fluctuations. |
| Output Swing | Within 20 mV of rails at 100 kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in 5 V ADC-coupled systems (e.g., 0–4.98 V output span). |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications including manifold absolute pressure (MAP) and exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) sensors. |
| Slew Rate | 1.3 V/µs (typical, V+ = 15 V) - sufficient for <10 kHz sensor bandwidths while preserving pulse fidelity in transient detection. |
| Input Offset Drift | 1.0 µV/°C - limits thermal-induced offset shift to <125 µV over full temperature range, critical for uncalibrated sensor systems. |
Pinout & Package
LMC6492BEMX is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) surface-mount package (NS Package Number M08A), measuring 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.75 mm, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. Thermal resistance θJA is 171°C/W on standard JEDEC 2-layer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (A) | High-impedance CMOS node accepting signals from −0.25 V to V+ +0.25 V - enables direct connection to bridge midpoints without clamping diodes. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (A) | Identical input specification as Pin 1; used for differential or single-ended sensor reference paths. |
| 3 | Output (A) | Rail-to-rail sourcing/sinking output capable of driving 100 kΩ loads to within 20 mV of supply rails - interfaces directly with SAR or sigma-delta ADC inputs. |
| 4 | V− (Ground) | Power ground reference for single-supply operation; must be low-impedance path to minimize PSRR degradation. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (B) | Second independent amplifier input; electrically identical to Pin 2 - supports dual-sensor or chopper-stabilized architectures. |
| 6 | Inverting Input (B) | Second amplifier inverting input; matches Pin 1 specs - allows matched dual-channel instrumentation amplifier topologies. |
| 7 | Output (B) | Independent rail-to-rail output; isolated from Output A to maintain >150 dB amp-to-amp isolation - prevents crosstalk in multi-channel sensor arrays. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail (5–15 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable high-frequency PSRR performance. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L2CDR | Lower supply current (125 µA/amp) but higher input bias current (0.6 pA) and narrower VCM range (V− to V+ −1.5 V). | Not suitable for inputs exceeding rails or high-Z sensors >1 GΩ; limited to commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). | Select only for low-power battery-operated non-automotive systems where rail exceedance and wide temperature are not required. |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture (0.02 µV/°C offset drift), lower noise (1.1 µVpp), but 1.8–5.5 V supply range and no rail-to-rail input beyond rails. | Superior DC precision but incompatible with 12 V automotive supplies and transducer signals exceeding 5 V rails. | Prefer for precision medical or industrial instrumentation at 3.3 V; avoid where 5–15 V operation or over-rail input tolerance is mandatory. |
Compared with TLC27L2CDR and OPA2333AIDR, the LMC6492BEMX uniquely combines rail-exceeding input capability, −40°C to +125°C qualification, and 150 fA input current in a single SOIC-8 package-making it irreplaceable for automotive sensor front-ends requiring robustness, wide supply, and ultra-high impedance interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the LMC6492BEMX?
The LMC6492BEMX supports an input common-mode voltage range from V− −0.25 V to V+ +0.25 V at room temperature, enabling signals to exceed both supply rails without phase inversion. Absolute maximum input voltage is V− −0.3 V to V+ +0.3 V. This rail-exceeding capability is confirmed in the datasheet's "Input Common-Mode Voltage Range" section and Figure 1, making LMC6492BEMX suitable for direct connection to unbuffered transducer outputs in automotive applications.
Does the LMC6492BEMX require external compensation for capacitive loads?
Yes, the LMC6492BEMX requires external compensation when driving capacitive loads >100 pF directly. Its output stage exhibits reduced phase margin under pure capacitive loading, potentially causing oscillation. The datasheet recommends adding a series resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) between the output and load, or using the compensated non-inverting configuration shown in Figure 5. LMC6492BEMX stability vs. capacitive load curves (Figures 01204971–01204976) confirm this behavior and provide design guidance.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LMC6492BEMX in its SOIC-8 package?
The LMC6492BEMX in the M08A SOIC-8 package has a thermal resistance θJA of 171°C/W on a standard JEDEC 2-layer test board. This value is explicitly listed in the "Thermal Resistance" table under "M Package, 8-Pin Surface Mount". It reflects real-world PCB layout conditions and is critical for junction temperature calculation: TJ = TA + (θJA × PD). For continuous 5 V operation, power dissipation remains below 10 mW per amplifier, keeping TJ well within the 150°C limit even at +125°C ambient.
Can the LMC6492BEMX operate from a 2.5 V supply?
No, the LMC6492BEMX cannot operate reliably from a 2.5 V supply. Its specified minimum supply voltage is 2.5 V only for absolute maximum ratings context; the guaranteed operating condition starts at 5 V, as stated in the "Operating Conditions" table. At 2.5 V, rail-to-rail output swing, CMRR, and open-loop gain degrade significantly-datasheet electrical characteristics are not guaranteed below 5 V. LMC6492BEMX is optimized for 5–15 V single-supply automotive systems.
How does the LMC6492BEMX compare to the LMC6492AEMX variant?
The LMC6492BEMX and LMC6492AEMX share identical pinout, package, and electrical architecture, differing only in input offset voltage specifications: LMC6492BEMX has a maximum VOS of 6.0 mV (vs. 3.0 mV for AEMX) and higher TCVOS (1.0 µV/°C for both). Both are rated for −40°C to +125°C and use the same SOIC-8 (M08A) package. The B-grade offers cost-optimized performance for applications where <6 mV offset is acceptable, such as pressure sensor gain stages with digital calibration.
