Product details
Overview
LMH6609MFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 900 MHz unity-gain-stable voltage-feedback operational amplifier in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 1400 V/µs slew rate, 90 mA linear output current, and 3.1 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at ±5 V supply. It serves as a high-speed A/D input driver, video line driver, or active filter core in test equipment and IF/RF signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6609MFX/NOPB datasheet, LMH6609MFX/NOPB pinout, LMH6609MFX/NOPB application, or LMH6609MFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include large-signal bandwidth at ±3.3 V/±5 V supplies, differential gain/phase performance for PAL video, transimpedance stability with photodiode interfaces, and SOT-23 thermal derating under load.
Technical Context
The LMH6609MFX/NOPB uses voltage-feedback architecture with symmetrical, balanced inputs and matched bias currents-enabling precise DC offset cancellation via input impedance balancing. Its unity-gain stability and 240 MHz gain-bandwidth product support wideband non-inverting (AV = 1 to 10) and inverting (AV = −1 to −10) configurations without external compensation.
It features low-output-impedance closed-loop operation (0.3 Ω typical), supports capacitive load driving with recommended series ROUT (e.g., 17 Ω for 100 pF), and maintains <0.01% differential gain / 0.026° differential phase at 4.43 MHz into 150 Ω-meeting PAL broadcast video fidelity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3dB Bandwidth (AV = 1) | 900 MHz at ±5 V, VOUT = 0.25 VPP - enables baseband video and wideband IF amplification without gain peaking. |
| Slew Rate | 1400 V/µs (typical, ±5 V, 4 V step) - supports clean 100+ MHz square-wave reproduction with minimal distortion. |
| Linear Output Current | ±90 mA - drives multiple 75 Ω video loads or coaxial cables without clipping or thermal foldback. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 3.1 nV/√Hz (>1 MHz, ±5 V) - preserves SNR in low-amplitude, high-frequency sensor and ADC front-end applications. |
| Differential Gain / Phase | 0.01% / 0.026° at 4.43 MHz, RL = 150 Ω - meets PAL composite video broadcast specification for color fidelity. |
| Supply Current | 7.0 mA (typical, ±5 V, no load) - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with low quiescent power. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.8 mV (max, ±5 V) - ensures sub-mV DC accuracy in precision gain stages and active filters. |
Pinout & Package
LMH6609MFX/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (DBV0005A), optimized for high-frequency layout with minimal parasitic capacitance and short trace routing. Thermal resistance is θJA = 187 °C/W and θJC = 120 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - V+ | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts +3.3 V to +6 V (relative to V−); requires local 10 µF tantalum + 0.01 µF ceramic bypassing per supply pin. |
| 2 - IN− | Inverting Input | High-impedance node; connects to feedback network (e.g., RF = 250 Ω) for gain-setting in inverting configurations. |
| 3 - OUT | Amplifier Output | Capable of ±90 mA drive; use series ROUT (e.g., 32 Ω for 33 pF load) to suppress peaking when driving capacitive loads. |
| 4 - IN+ | Non-Inverting Input | High-impedance, bias-current-matched node; terminate with RB = RF || (RG + RS) for inverting DC offset cancellation. |
| 5 - V− | Negative Supply Rail | Accepts −3.3 V to −6 V (relative to V+); symmetric dual-supply operation required for full rail-to-rail output swing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-feedback architecture | Enables stable, predictable frequency response across AV = 1 to −10; simplifies active filter and integrator design vs. current-feedback alternatives. |
| Unity-gain stability | Operates robustly at AV = 1 without external compensation-critical for buffer, cable-driver, and transimpedance amplifier topologies. |
| Matched input bias currents | Minimizes input offset drift over temperature; allows DC accuracy optimization via impedance-balanced source and feedback networks. |
| Low 1/f noise corner | 3.1 nV/√Hz broadband voltage noise with flat spectral density >1 MHz-ideal for wideband signal conditioning before high-speed ADCs. |
| Video-optimized AC performance | 0.01%/0.026° differential gain/phase at 4.43 MHz confirms suitability for PAL-compliant video distribution and reconstruction circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6601MF/NOPB | Lower 220 MHz GBW, 1100 V/µs slew rate, 55 mA output current; SOT-23-5 package. | Targeted at lower-power portable video and audio; insufficient for >500 MHz IF or multi-load video drive. | Select when supply current <5 mA and bandwidth ≤250 MHz suffice; not suitable for LMH6609MFX/NOPB's 900 MHz AV=1 requirement. |
| THS3201DGN | Current-feedback architecture, 1.8 GHz BW, 4300 V/µs slew, ±120 mA output; MSOP-8 package. | Requires careful feedback resistor selection (typically 300–600 Ω); less tolerant of input impedance mismatch than voltage-feedback LMH6609. | Choose for ultra-wideband applications >1 GHz where CFA topology is acceptable; avoid if DC precision or unity-gain stability is mandatory. |
Compared with LMH6609MFX/NOPB, LMH6601MF/NOPB trades bandwidth and output drive for lower power, while THS3201DGN offers higher speed but sacrifices DC accuracy and ease of gain configuration-making LMH6609MFX/NOPB optimal for balanced wideband analog signal chains requiring both fidelity and flexibility.

FAQ
What supply voltage range does the LMH6609MFX/NOPB support?
The LMH6609MFX/NOPB operates from ±3.3 V to ±6 V (total supply range 6.6 V to 12 V). At ±5 V, it delivers 900 MHz −3 dB bandwidth (AV = 1) and 1400 V/µs slew rate; at ±3.3 V, bandwidth reduces to 450 MHz (AV = 1) with 800 V/µs slew rate. The device is not rated for single-supply operation.
Is the LMH6609MFX/NOPB pin-compatible with other SOT-23 op amps?
No-LMH6609MFX/NOPB uses a proprietary 5-pin SOT-23 pinout (V+, IN−, OUT, IN+, V−) that differs from standard rail-to-rail or general-purpose SOT-23 op amps. Substitution requires PCB layout revision; for example, OPA837 (SOT-23-6) and THS4631 (SO-8) have incompatible pin assignments and thermal profiles.
Can the LMH6609MFX/NOPB drive a 100 pF capacitive load stably?
Yes-when paired with a series output resistor (ROUT ≈ 17 Ω, per TI's "Suggested ROUT vs. Cap Load" chart), the LMH6609MFX/NOPB maintains <0.5 dB peaking and stable settling. Without ROUT, 100 pF loads cause significant gain peaking and overshoot due to output stage interaction with load capacitance.
Does the LMH6609MFX/NOPB support transimpedance amplifier configurations?
Yes-the LMH6609MFX/NOPB is explicitly validated for transimpedance applications, leveraging its unity-gain stability, low input current noise (1.6 pA/√Hz), and wide bandwidth. TI Application Report SBAA227 provides reference designs using LMH6609MFX/NOPB with photodiodes and feedback capacitors for optical sensing.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation of LMH6609MFX/NOPB at full output current?
At ±5 V supply and ±90 mA output into 50 Ω, the LMH6609MFX/NOPB's junction temperature must stay ≤150°C. With θJA = 187 °C/W (SOT-23), maximum safe ambient temperature is ~75°C under those conditions. Derating is required above 70°C ambient-TI recommends forced airflow or reduced load current for sustained high-power operation.
