Product details
Overview
LME49720NA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual high-fidelity audio operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low distortion and low-noise signal amplification in professional and consumer audio systems. It delivers 0.00003% THD+N at 3VRMS, 2.7nV/√Hz input noise density, ±20V/μs slew rate, and drives 600Ω loads - making it ideal for phono preamplifiers, line drivers, and active filters.
For engineers reviewing the LME49720NA/NOPB datasheet, LME49720NA/NOPB pinout, LME49720NA/NOPB application, or LME49720NA/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified THD+N performance at 600Ω, channel-to-channel isolation >112dB, PSRR/CMRR >120dB, rail-to-rail output swing capability, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LME49720NA/NOPB employs a proprietary bipolar input stage with advanced process optimization to achieve vanishingly low voltage noise and distortion across audio bandwidths. Its fully differential dual-channel architecture maintains >112dB channel-to-channel isolation up to 20kHz while supporting independent gain configurations per channel.
Designed for split-supply operation (±2.5V to ±17V), the device features short-circuit protected outputs, robust thermal design (RθJA = 107.9°C/W in SOIC-8), and stable unity-gain operation without external compensation - enabling direct integration into RIAA equalization networks and active crossover topologies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual audio op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LME49720MA/NOPB | Same electrical specs; TO-99 metal can package with superior thermal resistance (RθJC = 35°C/W) but through-hole mounting | Better suited for discrete high-power analog stages where thermal mass and EMI shielding are prioritized over board space | Select when thermal management or RF immunity outweighs surface-mount assembly requirements |
| OPA1612AIDR | Lower input bias current (1.3pA vs 10nA), higher GBWP (50MHz vs 55MHz), slightly higher THD+N (0.00005% vs 0.00003%) | Preferred in DC-coupled sensor front-ends or ultra-low-input-current applications; less optimal for high-swing 600Ω drive | Choose for ultra-high-impedance sources or when lower quiescent current (2.6mA vs 12mA) is critical |
Compared with LME49720MA/NOPB and OPA1612AIDR, the LME49720NA/NOPB uniquely balances 600Ω drive capability, industry-leading THD+N, and SOIC-8 manufacturability - making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, high-density, high-fidelity audio PCBs requiring proven 20kHz transient fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage swing of the LME49720NA/NOPB into a 600Ω load?
The LME49720NA/NOPB delivers ±13.6V maximum output voltage swing into a 600Ω load at ±17V supplies, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (VOUTMAX). This corresponds to 19.2VPP or ~6.8VRMS, sufficient for professional line-level (+24dBu) signal transmission without clipping under typical operating conditions. The LME49720NA/NOPB maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Does the LME49720NA/NOPB require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the LME49720NA/NOPB is internally compensated for stable operation at unity gain (AV = 1) with capacitive loads up to 100pF, as confirmed by the datasheet's "Typical Characteristics" section (Figure 73 shows phase margin >60° at G = 1). This eliminates the need for external compensation components in standard inverting/non-inverting configurations, simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost. The LME49720NA/NOPB remains stable even with moderate PCB trace capacitance.
How does the LME49720NA/NOPB compare to the LME49710 in terms of channel count and noise performance?
The LME49720NA/NOPB is a dual-channel device with 2.7nV/√Hz input voltage noise density, while the LME49710 is single-channel with 2.5nV/√Hz - a 0.2nV/√Hz advantage. However, the LME49720NA/NOPB maintains identical THD+N (0.00003%), slew rate (±20V/μs), and GBWP (55MHz) per channel. The LME49720NA/NOPB is optimized for stereo or dual-path applications where space and matching matter more than absolute minimum noise.
Is the LME49720NA/NOPB pin-compatible with other SOIC-8 op-amps like the NE5532?
No, the LME49720NA/NOPB is not pin-compatible with the NE5532 or other legacy SOIC-8 op-amps. Its pinout follows TI's standard dual-op-amp configuration (V+, Out A, In+ A, V−, In+ B, In− B, Out B, In− A), whereas NE5532 uses V−, In− A, In+ A, Out A, Out B, In+ B, In− B, V+. Swapping them requires PCB redesign. The LME49720NA/NOPB pinout is shared across the LME497xx family, including LME49720MA/NOPB and LME49721, ensuring layout reuse within TI's audio portfolio.
What thermal considerations apply to the LME49720NA/NOPB in SOIC-8 packaging?
The LME49720NA/NOPB in SOIC-8 (N package) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 107.9°C/W, meaning a 12mA quiescent current at ±15V (360mW total dissipation) raises junction temperature by ~39°C above ambient. To maintain TJ ≤125°C, ambient must stay ≤86°C with no airflow - underscoring the need for adequate copper pour, thermal vias, and spacing from heat sources. The LME49720NA/NOPB thermal data is validated per JEDEC JESD51 standards.
