Product details
Overview
LMH6640MFX from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a single, rail-to-rail output voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for TFT-LCD VCOM buffering. It delivers ±100 mA linear output current, 190 MHz −3 dB bandwidth at 16 V supply, and 170 V/µs slew rate while consuming only 4 mA quiescent current - enabling high-fidelity video signal conditioning in space-constrained portable displays.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6640MFX datasheet, LMH6640MFX pinout, LMH6640MFX application, or LMH6640MFX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 mV rail-to-rail output swing, 0.12% differential gain/0.12° differential phase at 5 MHz, and validated stability driving 200 nF capacitive loads under unity-gain conditions - critical for TFT panel timing integrity and power efficiency.
Technical Context
The LMH6640MFX employs National's VIP10 bipolar process to achieve simultaneous high speed and high output current. Its input common-mode range extends from −0.3 V below V− to within 0.9 V of V+, supporting true single-supply operation across 4.5–16 V. The amplifier maintains stability at AV = +1 with no phase reversal when CMVR is exceeded.
It features fully characterized performance at both 5 V and 16 V supplies, with closed-loop output resistance of 0.35 Ω at 1 MHz and THD of −64 dBc at 5 MHz (2 VPP). The device drives 150 Ω video loads with <0.13% differential gain error and <0.12° differential phase shift - meeting NTSC video fidelity requirements without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 16 V - supports both low-voltage portable and high-voltage industrial display systems |
| −3 dB Bandwidth (AV = +1) | 190 MHz at 16 V - enables full-power video bandwidth up to 28 MHz (2 VPP, −1 dB) |
| Slew Rate | 170 V/µs - ensures fast settling (35 ns, ±0.1%, 2 VPP) for high-resolution TFT frame updates |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 100 mV of either rail - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3 V or 5 V single-supply designs |
| Output Current (Linear) | ±100 mA - directly drives heavy capacitive VCOM loads (up to 200 nF) without external buffers |
| Differential Gain / Phase | 0.12% / 0.12° at 5 MHz, RL = 150 Ω - meets broadcast-grade video signal fidelity standards |

Pinout & Package
LMH6640MFX is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (NSC drawing MF05A), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable display modules. Thermal resistance is 265 °C/W, requiring minimal copper area for thermal management in battery-powered applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (−IN) | Inverting Input | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; supports unity-gain stable configurations |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-Inverting Input | Accepts DC-biased VCOM reference; common-mode range includes ground at 16 V supply |
| 4 (V−) | Negative Supply | Ground reference in single-supply operation; supports −0.3 V input common-mode extension |
| 5 (V+) | Positive Supply | 16 V max rating; enables direct interface with TFT panel logic supplies without regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output phase reversal | Guaranteed stability even when input exceeds common-mode limits - eliminates latch-up risk in VCOM transients |
| Fully characterized at 5 V & 16 V | Validated performance across portable (3.3/5 V) and industrial (12/16 V) supply rails - reduces design requalification effort |
| Low 65 mW power dissipation | Enables thermally constrained TFT module designs without heatsinking or derating |
| 0.12% differential gain error | Preserves color accuracy in NTSC/PAL video signals without post-processing correction |
| 100 nA max input offset current | Minimizes DC drift in high-impedance VCOM bias networks over temperature and time |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-output-current op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3201DR | Higher 300 MHz bandwidth but 12 mA supply current; requires dual supply for full rail-to-rail input | Better suited for RF/IF signal chains than DC-coupled VCOM buffering | Select when >200 MHz small-signal bandwidth is required and power budget allows ≥3× higher quiescent draw |
| OPA690U | 120 mA output current, 500 MHz GBW, but only 1.5 V output swing from rails at 5 V supply | Limited dynamic range in low-voltage portable designs; not validated for 200 nF capacitive loads | Prefer for wideband AC-coupled amplification where rail-to-rail swing is non-critical |
Compared with THS3201DR and OPA690U, the LMH6640MFX uniquely balances 190 MHz bandwidth, ±100 mA output, 100 mV rail-to-rail swing, and 4 mA quiescent current in a 5-pin SOT-23 - making it the only option qualified for battery-powered TFT VCOM buffering with NTSC-grade video fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LMH6640MFX can drive stably in unity-gain configuration?
The LMH6640MFX is validated to drive up to 200 nF capacitive loads stably in unity-gain configuration, as demonstrated in its TFT VCOM application circuit with 209 nF simulated load and 54 Ω series resistance. This capability eliminates the need for isolation resistors or external compensation networks in display panel designs.
Does the LMH6640MFX support true single-supply operation with input referenced to ground?
Yes, the LMH6640MFX supports true single-supply operation: its input common-mode voltage range extends to −0.3 V below V− (ground) and to within 0.9 V of V+, enabling ground-referenced inputs at 16 V supply. This allows direct interface with DAC outputs or resistor-divider references without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the guaranteed output current capability of the LMH6640MFX at 16 V supply?
At 16 V supply, the LMH6640MFX guarantees ±100 mA linear output current into loads where the output voltage remains within 0.5 V of either rail. Short-circuit current is specified at 60 mA sourcing and 50 mA sinking under continuous test conditions - sufficient for driving large-area TFT VCOM nodes.
How does the LMH6640MFX achieve NTSC-compliant video performance?
The LMH6640MFX achieves NTSC compliance through measured 0.12% differential gain and 0.12° differential phase error at 5 MHz into 150 Ω loads - results verified across temperature and supply voltage. Its low 170 V/µs slew rate and optimized feedback architecture suppress harmonic distortion to −64 dBc, preserving color fidelity without post-processing.
Is the LMH6640MFX pin-compatible with other SOT-23 op-amps for drop-in replacement?
No documented pin-compatible replacements exist for the LMH6640MFX in the SOT-23-5 footprint. While pinout matches standard single-op-amp SOT-23 layouts (V+, OUT, −IN, +IN, V−), its combination of 190 MHz bandwidth, ±100 mA output, and rail-to-rail swing is unique - requiring full electrical validation if substituting with alternatives like THS3201DR or OPA690U.
