Product details
Overview
LMC660CMX from Texas Instruments is a quad CMOS operational amplifier optimized for precision single-supply operation, featuring rail-to-rail output swing (±0.15V from rails at 5V/2kΩ), ultra-low input bias current (2fA typ), 1.1V/μs slew rate, and 1.4MHz gain-bandwidth product - enabling high-impedance sensor buffering and low-leakage sample-and-hold circuits in medical instrumentation and industrial controls.
For engineers reviewing the LMC660CMX datasheet, LMC660CMX pinout, LMC660CMX application, or LMC660CMX equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-14 package mapping, real-world design context for rail-to-rail output driving 600Ω loads, and validated alternative options for precision amplifier selection.
Technical Context
The LMC660CMX employs a proprietary CMOS front-end topology with differential input stage extending common-mode range to V− (ground in single-supply mode) and rail-to-rail output stage using complementary push-pull drivers. Its open-loop gain exceeds 126dB into 2kΩ loads and maintains ≥100V/mV even under 600Ω loading at 15V supply.
Designed for stability with capacitive loads up to 100pF when compensated with series output resistor (50–100Ω) and feedback capacitor (5–10pF), the device supports unity-gain configurations while delivering 130dB channel-to-channel crosstalk and 50° phase margin across temperature.

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75V to 15.5V single supply; enables direct interfacing with 5V/12V systems without level-shifting |
| Input Bias Current | 2fA typical; allows use with >1GΩ source impedances without significant DC error |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings within 0.15V of V− and 0.37V of V+ at 5V/2kΩ; supports full dynamic range in single-supply data acquisition |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.4MHz; sufficient for precision filtering (e.g., 10Hz band-pass) and low-frequency signal conditioning |
| Slew Rate | 1.1V/μs; handles 10V step responses in <10μs for fast settling in sample-and-hold applications |
| Input Offset Drift | 1.3μV/°C max; ensures <10μV total drift over 0°C to 70°C operating range |
| Quiescent Current | 375–675μA per amplifier; enables low-power multi-channel designs with predictable thermal dissipation |
Pinout & Package
LMC660CMX is supplied in a 14-pin SOIC (D package) with standard JEDEC outline and 1.27mm pitch. Thermal resistance θJA is 115°C/W, supporting operation up to +70°C ambient without forced cooling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN A (Pin 3) | Noninverting input, Channel A | High-impedance node (≥1TΩ) accepting signals down to V−; guard ring required for sub-pA leakage control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC662CMX | Dual-channel version in SOIC-8; identical electrical specs but half channel count and lower quiescent current (375–650μA per amp) | Better suited for space-constrained dual-signal paths; lacks two channels needed for 4-sensor systems | Select LMC662CMX when board area or power budget favors dual configuration over quad integration |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture; 0.02μV/°C offset drift vs 1.3μV/°C; higher 350kHz GBW but 120pA input bias current | Superior DC accuracy for long-term integrators; unsuitable for pA-level current measurement due to 60,000× higher bias current | Choose OPA2333AIDR only when ultra-low drift dominates over input leakage requirements |
Compared with LMC660CMX, LMC662CMX reduces channel count and package size while preserving all key precision parameters, whereas OPA2333AIDR trades ultra-low bias current for near-zero offset drift - making LMC660CMX uniquely suitable for high-impedance, moderate-bandwidth applications where leakage is the dominant error source.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMC660CMX?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMC660CMX is 16V, but the recommended operating range is 4.75V to 15.5V. Exceeding 13V while shorting the output to V+ may adversely affect long-term reliability, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation at 15.5V is fully characterized and supported across the full temperature range.
Does LMC660CMX support true rail-to-rail input?
LMC660CMX does not provide rail-to-rail input common-mode range - its input range extends to V− (including ground in single-supply mode) but stops 1.9V below V+ at 15V supply. However, it delivers true rail-to-rail output swing, reaching within 0.15V of V− and 0.37V of V+ under 2kΩ load conditions at 5V supply.
Can LMC660CMX drive a 600Ω load stably?
Yes, LMC660CMX is explicitly specified for 600Ω loads in its Electrical Characteristics table, with guaranteed output swing (e.g., 4.27V to 0.30V at 5V/600Ω) and open-loop gain (≥150V/mV). Stability is maintained with proper PCB layout and optional 50Ω series output resistor for capacitive loads exceeding 50pF.
What is the input bias current specification for LMC660CMX at 85°C?
At TA = –40°C to +85°C, the input bias current for LMC660CMX is specified as ±4pA maximum (not fA), reflecting increased leakage at elevated temperature. The 2fA typical value applies only at +25°C; designers must account for this 2000× increase when specifying leakage-critical applications operating at maximum junction temperature.
Is LMC660CMX pin-compatible with LM358?
No, LMC660CMX is not pin-compatible with LM358. While the dual LMC662 is pin-compatible with LM358 in SOIC-8, the quad LMC660CMX uses a 14-pin SOIC package with different pin assignments (e.g., V– on Pin 11 vs Pin 4 in LM324). Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and verification of layout-dependent leakage paths.
