Product details
Overview
LMH6559MFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-speed, unity-gain closed-loop buffer IC designed for video signal distribution and high-frequency analog signal routing on PCBs. It delivers 1750 MHz small-signal bandwidth, 4580 V/µs slew rate, 0.06% differential gain / 0.02° differential phase at 3.58 MHz, and −52 dBc THD at 20 MHz into 100 Ω - enabling precise composite video buffering in broadcast and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6559MFX/NOPB datasheet, LMH6559MFX/NOPB pinout, LMH6559MFX/NOPB application, or LMH6559MFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin SOIC package, single- or dual-supply operation (3–10 V), 1.2 Ω output resistance, 200 kΩ input resistance, and guaranteed performance across −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The LMH6559MFX/NOPB uses TI's VIP10 high-speed bipolar process and features internally fixed loop gain of 1, eliminating external feedback components. Its architecture supports stable operation into resistive, capacitive, and transmission-line loads up to 100 Ω without compensation.
It achieves ultra-fast transient response (0.4 ns rise time, 9 ns settling to ±0.1%) and maintains low distortion across supply voltages - with verified 745 MHz SSBW and 2070 V/µs slew rate under +5 V single supply, and 315 MHz SSBW at +3 V - making it suitable for portable and low-voltage high-fidelity signal paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small Signal Bandwidth | 1750 MHz (±5 V supply): enables full HD/SDI video signal passband without attenuation |
| Slew Rate | 4580 V/µs (±5 V): supports clean 3.3 VPP step response with <4% overshoot and sub-10 ns settling |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.06% / 0.02° at 3.58 MHz: meets NTSC/PAL broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | −52 dBc at 20 MHz, 2 VPP into 100 Ω: ensures minimal spectral contamination in wideband IF stages |
| Output Resistance | 1.2 Ω (100 kHz): allows direct 50 Ω/75 Ω transmission line driving without series termination |
| Supply Current | 10 mA typical (±5 V): delivers extreme speed at low quiescent power for thermal-constrained layouts |
| Input Resistance | 200 kΩ: provides high-Z interface compatibility with DAC outputs, PLL VCXOs, and sensor front-ends |
Pinout & Package
LMH6559MFX/NOPB is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (Package Code D, R-PDSO-G8) with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SNOSA57C Rev. MARCH 2013.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VEE (Negative Supply) | Ground reference for dual-supply operation; tied to GND in single-supply configurations |
| 2 | Inverting Input (NC) | No-connect terminal; internally unused and must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input | High-impedance (200 kΩ) signal input node; accepts DC-coupled or AC-coupled video/baseband sources |
| 4 | VCC (Positive Supply) | Primary power rail; supports 3–10 V operation with PSRR >48 dB up to 100 kHz |
| 5 | Output | Low-impedance (1.2 Ω) buffered output; drives 100 Ω loads directly with 3.45 V swing (±5 V) |
| 6 | NC | No-connect; electrically isolated and must remain unconnected |
| 7 | NC | No-connect; electrically isolated and must remain unconnected |
| 8 | VCC (Positive Supply) | Second positive supply pin; paralleled with Pin 4 to reduce supply inductance and improve HF PSRR |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar closed-loop buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6554MA/NOPB | Higher 2.8 GHz SSBW but requires external feedback; not unity-gain stable | Used where adjustable gain >1 is needed; unsuitable for direct replacement in fixed-gain video paths | Select only when gain flexibility and higher bandwidth outweigh simplicity and layout robustness |
| THS3201DGNR | 1.8 GHz SSBW, 4000 V/µs slew, but 0.12% DG at 3.58 MHz - double LMH6559MFX/NOPB's error | Acceptable for non-broadcast video or instrumentation where DG/DP specs are relaxed | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs broadcast compliance; verify system-level color fidelity |
Compared with LMH6559MFX/NOPB, LMH6554MA/NOPB offers higher bandwidth but demands careful compensation design, while THS3201DGNR trades video linearity for lower unit cost - making LMH6559MFX/NOPB the optimal choice for broadcast-qualified, drop-in unity-gain buffering.

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the LMH6559MFX/NOPB support?
The LMH6559MFX/NOPB operates from 3 V to 10 V total supply range - supporting both single-supply (e.g., +5 V / GND) and split-supply (e.g., ±5 V) configurations. At +3 V, it delivers 315 MHz bandwidth and 770 V/µs slew rate; at ±5 V, it achieves 1750 MHz bandwidth and 4580 V/µs. The LMH6559MFX/NOPB maintains specified differential gain/phase and THD performance across this full range.
Is the LMH6559MFX/NOPB unity-gain stable without external components?
Yes, the LMH6559MFX/NOPB is internally configured for closed-loop unity gain (ACL = 1) and requires no external feedback resistors. Its architecture is optimized for unconditional stability into 100 Ω loads, including reactive and transmission-line terminations. This eliminates layout sensitivity and component count - a key differentiator versus open-loop amplifiers like the LMH6554MFX/NOPB, which require external compensation.
What is the maximum output current capability of the LMH6559MFX/NOPB?
The LMH6559MFX/NOPB delivers ±74 mA linear output current (sourcing/sinking) under ±5 V supply with VIN–VOUT = ±0.5 V. Short-circuit current exceeds ±83 mA. This enables direct driving of 50 Ω or 75 Ω coaxial cables and heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF) without external buffers - confirmed in TI SNOSA57C Figure 28–29 and Electrical Characteristics Table.
Does the LMH6559MFX/NOPB meet broadcast video specifications?
Yes, the LMH6559MFX/NOPB meets broadcast-grade video requirements: 0.06% differential gain and 0.02° differential phase at 3.58 MHz (NTSC color subcarrier), verified per TI SNOSA57C Figure 7. These values satisfy SMPTE RP-168 and ITU-R BT.470 for professional video routing, switching, and distribution equipment - distinguishing it from general-purpose op amps with >0.2% DG error.
What package type is used for the LMH6559MFX/NOPB?
The LMH6559MFX/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with package code D (R-PDSO-G8), per TI SNOSA57C Figure 2. It is not offered in SOT-23; that variant corresponds to the LMH6559MF/NOPB. The SOIC package provides robust thermal performance (θJA = 172°C/W) and standard surface-mount compatibility for automated PCB assembly.
