Product details
Overview
LME49721MA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, rail-to-rail input/output audio operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low distortion and high-fidelity signal amplification. It delivers 0.00008% THD+N (RL = 2kΩ), 4nV/√Hz input noise density, ±8.5V/μs slew rate, and operates from 2.2V to 5.5V single supply - enabling precision analog front-ends in portable and professional audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the LME49721MA/NOPB datasheet, LME49721MA/NOPB pinout, LME49721MA/NOPB application, or LME49721MA/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 118dB open-loop gain, 40fA input bias current, rail-to-rail output swing within 10mV of supplies, unity-gain stability, and guaranteed performance across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LME49721MA/NOPB employs a proprietary bipolar-input, CMOS-output architecture that enables simultaneous rail-to-rail input common-mode range (V– – 0.1V to V+ + 0.1V) and rail-to-rail output swing (within 10mV of either rail at 10kΩ). Its 20MHz gain-bandwidth product and ±8.5V/μs slew rate support wideband audio fidelity without phase distortion or slew-induced IMD.
Designed for low-noise, low-distortion signal chains, it features 103dB PSRR and 93dB CMRR (min) over audio bandwidth, 117dB channel-to-channel isolation, and integrated short-circuit protection. The device maintains 2.15mA quiescent current per amplifier across its full 2.2V–5.5V supply range, enabling efficient dual-supply (±1.1V to ±2.75V) or single-supply operation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1612AIDR | Lower input noise (1.1nV/√Hz), higher quiescent current (3.6mA), same SOIC-8 package. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise mic preamps; less optimal for battery-constrained portable audio. | Select OPA1612AIDR when sub-2nV/√Hz noise is mandatory and power budget allows +69% IQ. |
| NE5532DR | Higher THD+N (0.002%), lower GBW (10MHz), wider supply range (±3V to ±20V), no rail-to-rail output. | Legacy industrial audio; unsuitable for 3.3V single-supply or high-fidelity portable designs. | Choose NE5532DR only for cost-sensitive, non-battery-powered equipment where 0.002% THD+N is acceptable. |
Compared with OPA1612AIDR and NE5532DR, the LME49721MA/NOPB uniquely balances ultra-low distortion (0.00008%), rail-to-rail operation at 2.2V–5.5V, and 2.15mA quiescent current - making it the optimal choice for modern portable and high-end analog audio where power efficiency and fidelity are co-prioritized.
