Product details
Overview
LMC7101AIM5 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. It delivers 1 MHz gain bandwidth, 0.5 mA quiescent current at 5 V, 0.01% THD at 10 kHz, and operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - ideal for space-constrained, battery-powered sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMC7101AIM5 datasheet, LMC7101AIM5 pinout, LMC7101AIM5 application, or LMC7101AIM5 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail swing capability at low supply current, input offset voltage stability over temperature, SOT-23 thermal resistance (RθJA = 193.5°C/W), and compatibility with 2.7 V to 15 V single-supply operation.
Technical Context
The LMC7101AIM5 uses a high-input-impedance CMOS input stage (>1 TΩ) with rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 300 mV beyond either supply rail and output swing within 180 mV of rails (at 2 kΩ load, 5 V). Its open-loop gain exceeds 80 V/mV (typical), enabling precision closed-loop configurations with minimal error contribution from AOL roll-off.
It features low input bias current (±1 pA typ), ultra-low input offset voltage drift (1 µV/°C), and robust capacitive load tolerance up to 100 pF without oscillation in unity-gain follower configuration - supported by internal compensation optimized for wide supply voltage operation (2.7 V to 15 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 15 V single supply - supports direct integration into portable, automotive, and industrial systems with variable rail voltages. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz at 5 V - enables stable unity-gain buffer or noninverting amplification up to ~100 kHz with 10× gain. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.5 mA typical at 5 V - reduces power dissipation in high-density PCBs and extends battery life in portable devices. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.11 mV (A-grade) - ensures <10 µV error in precision DC-coupled sensor signal conditioning at room temperature. |
| THD + N | 0.01% at 10 kHz, 5 V supply, 10 kΩ load - meets audio-grade linearity requirements for low-frequency analog front-ends. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
| Input Bias Current | ±1 pA typical - minimizes voltage drop across high-impedance sources (e.g., photodiodes, pH electrodes). |
Pinout & Package
LMC7101AIM5 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.43 mm - optimized for minimal board area and low profile in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Output | Amplified signal node; capable of sourcing/sinking up to 24 mA (short-circuit limited); rail-to-rail swing depends on load impedance. |
| 2 (V+) | Power | Positive supply terminal; accepts 2.7 V to 15 V; decoupling capacitor recommended near pin for stability. |
| 3 (+IN) | Input | Noninverting input; rail-to-rail common-mode range supports direct connection to sensors operating near supply rails. |
| 4 (−IN) | Input | Inverting input; matched to +IN for balanced differential operation; high CMRR (≥70 dB) maintains accuracy with common-mode noise. |
| 5 (V−) | Power | Negative supply terminal; tied to ground in single-supply configurations; must be referenced to system GND for proper biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input and output | Enables full dynamic range utilization in low-voltage systems (e.g., 3 V microcontroller ADC reference buffers) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| 0.5 mA quiescent current at 5 V | Reduces self-heating in dense layouts and allows use in always-on sensor nodes with multi-year battery life. |
| 1 µV/°C input offset drift | Minimizes calibration frequency in temperature-varying applications such as automotive cabin sensors or industrial process monitors. |
| 100 pF capacitive load drive capability | Eliminates need for external isolation resistors when driving multiplexer inputs or ADC sample-and-hold capacitors directly. |
| 1 TΩ input resistance | Preserves signal integrity from ultra-high-impedance sources like piezoelectric transducers or electrochemical cells. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6482IMX | Dual-channel SOIC-8; higher IQ (1.2 mA), wider GBW (1.5 MHz), no SOT-23 option | Requires PCB redesign for dual-channel needs; unsuitable for ultra-compact single-amplifier placements | Select when dual amplifiers are needed and board area is less constrained than for LMC7101AIM5. |
| TLV2461CDCKR | Single-channel SOT-23-5; higher IQ (600 µA), lower THD (0.003%), but narrower supply range (2.7–6 V) | Limited to ≤6 V systems; not suitable for 12/15 V industrial or automotive supplies where LMC7101AIM5 operates reliably | Prefer for ultra-low-distortion audio paths below 6 V; avoid if 15 V operation or extended temperature range is required. |
Compared with LMC6482IMX and TLV2461CDCKR, the LMC7101AIM5 uniquely balances ultra-small footprint, 2.7–15 V supply flexibility, and sub-1 mV offset in a single-channel SOT-23 - making it optimal for space-limited, multi-rail embedded systems where channel count and voltage range outweigh marginal THD improvements.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LMC7101AIM5?
The LMC7101AIM5 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VS) of 16 V, with recommended operation from 2.7 V to 15.5 V. Exceeding 16 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. At 15 V operation, it delivers 1.1 MHz GBW and 0.8–1.5 mA quiescent current - confirming robust performance across its full rated range. Always observe layout best practices including local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling at the V+ pin for reliable LMC7101AIM5 operation.
Does the LMC7101AIM5 support true rail-to-rail input and output operation?
Yes, the LMC7101AIM5 supports rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range extending 300 mV beyond both supply rails and rail-to-rail output swing - delivering ≥4.7 V output at 2 kΩ load with 5 V supply, and ≥14.4 V with 15 V supply. This is enabled by its CMOS input stage and complementary output stage. Input phase inversion is absent even when signals exceed rails, verified in Figure 6-1 of the LMC7101AIM5 datasheet - critical for sensor interfaces where transients may exceed nominal supply levels.
What is the typical input offset voltage and drift specification for the LMC7101AIM5?
The LMC7101AIM5 (A-grade) has a typical input offset voltage of ±0.11 mV at 25°C and maximum of ±3 mV over –40°C to +85°C. Its input offset voltage drift is specified at 1 µV/°C - among the lowest in its class - ensuring minimal drift-induced error in precision DC applications like strain gauge amplification. These values are measured under standard conditions (VS = 5 V, RL > 1 MΩ) and confirmed across multiple production lots per TI's LMC7101AIM5 characterization data.
Can the LMC7101AIM5 drive capacitive loads without external compensation?
Yes, the LMC7101AIM5 can directly drive up to 100 pF capacitive loads at unity gain with 15 V supply without oscillation, as validated in typical characteristics (Figure 5-34–5-35). For larger loads (e.g., >330 pF ADC inputs), TI recommends resistive isolation (e.g., 300 Ω series resistor) as shown in Figure 7-1 of the LMC7101AIM5 datasheet. This capability simplifies design in data acquisition systems where the LMC7101AIM5 buffers signals before multiplexers or SAR ADCs.
Is the LMC7101AIM5 suitable for automotive applications?
The commercial-grade LMC7101AIM5 is specified for –40°C to +85°C and used in many automotive infotainment and body electronics modules. However, for ASIL-compliant or AEC-Q100 qualified applications, TI offers the automotive-grade LMC7101Q-Q1 variant. The LMC7101AIM5 itself is not AEC-Q100 certified, so designers requiring formal automotive qualification must select LMC7101Q-Q1 instead - though electrical performance, pinout, and SOT-23 package remain identical between LMC7101AIM5 and LMC7101Q-Q1.
