Product details
Overview
LMH6683MAX from Texas Instruments is a triple, high-speed, voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video signal conditioning in single- or dual-supply systems. It delivers 190MHz −3dB bandwidth (A = +2, ±5V), 940V/μs slew rate, 0.01% differential gain error, and 0.08° differential phase error at NTSC 3.58MHz - enabling precision composite video amplification in CD/DVD players and portable video equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6683MAX datasheet, LMH6683MAX pinout, LMH6683MAX application, or LMH6683MAX equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail output swing (0.8V from rails into 2kΩ), input common-mode range extending 0.5V beyond V− and 1.7V from V+, and immunity to output phase reversal under input overdrive - critical for servo control and ADC buffer designs requiring robustness across supply and signal transients.
Technical Context
The LMH6683MAX employs a voltage-feedback topology with a class-AB input stage that delivers exponential current drive into the Miller compensation capacitor, enabling higher slew rate at larger input differentials - unlike conventional op-amps limited by saturated Gm. This architecture supports stable operation at gains ≥ +2 and ≤ −1 without external compensation.
Its VIP10 BiCMOS process enables low quiescent current (6.5mA per channel) while sustaining high output drive (±85/−80mA), wide input common-mode range (−5.5V to +3.3V on ±5V supplies), and low distortion (−82dBc HD3 at 5MHz, RL = 2kΩ). The device is explicitly characterized for video-critical parameters including DG/DP and cross-talk rejection (−78dB at 5MHz).

Use Scenario: Amplifying composite video signals from DVD decoder ICs before transmission to RCA connectors or internal display circuitry. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage video buffer with gain = +2, DC-coupled, driving 75Ω coaxial cable. Use Value: 0.01% DG/0.08° DP prevents visible color shifts across brightness levels; 190MHz bandwidth accommodates full luminance/chroma spectrum. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6683MA | Same die, SOIC-14 tube packaging (95 pcs); identical electrical specs and pinout | No difference in circuit design or layout; only packaging and reel/tube logistics differ | Select LMH6683MA for low-volume prototyping or manual assembly where tape-and-reel is unnecessary |
| THS3203DR | Single-channel, 2.2GHz GBW, higher power (12.5mA), no DG/DP characterization; requires external compensation for A = +2 | Better for RF/IF gain blocks than video; unsuitable for NTSC/PAL due to lack of DG/DP validation | Choose THS3203DR only when >500MHz small-signal bandwidth is required and video fidelity is not critical |
Compared with LMH6683MA, LMH6683MAX offers identical performance in a large-tape-and-reel format (2500 pcs) optimized for SMT production; versus THS3203DR, it trades raw bandwidth for guaranteed video specifications, lower quiescent current, and plug-and-play stability in gain ≥ +2 configurations without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the LMH6683MAX?
The LMH6683MAX operates with a total supply voltage (V+ − V−) from 3V to 12V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ − V− ≤ 12.6V, and voltage at any pin must remain within V− − 0.8V to V+ + 0.8V. For dual-supply use, ±5V (10V total) is the most common configuration validated for 190MHz bandwidth and 0.01% DG performance. The LMH6683MAX maintains full functionality across the entire −40°C to +85°C temperature range within these limits.
Does the LMH6683MAX require external compensation for unity-gain stable operation?
No, the LMH6683MAX is internally compensated and unity-gain stable in non-inverting configuration (A ≥ +1). It is also stable for inverting gains of −1 and greater, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Stability" section and typical performance plots. No external compensation capacitor or resistor is needed for standard video gain settings (e.g., A = +2 or A = −1), simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. The LMH6683MAX achieves this via optimized VIP10 process design and controlled dominant-pole placement.
Can the LMH6683MAX drive a 75Ω video load directly?
Yes, the LMH6683MAX can drive a 75Ω load directly, delivering ±40mA minimum output current at 1V from either rail (per Electrical Characteristics table). Measured output swing is 3.75V high / −3.50V low into 75Ω on ±5V supplies - sufficient for standard 1VPP composite video. However, differential gain and phase are specified at RL = 150Ω; for 75Ω systems, verify DG/DP in final layout due to increased loading effects on frequency response. The LMH6683MAX's −78dB crosstalk rejection also prevents inter-channel interference in multi-video-path designs.
How does the LMH6683MAX handle input overvoltage conditions?
The LMH6683MAX is designed to be immune to output phase reversal when input voltages exceed the specified common-mode range - a critical feature for servo control and current-sense applications. During overdrive, the output clamps predictably near the supply rail rather than inverting polarity. This behavior is verified across temperature and supply conditions. Note that exceeding Absolute Maximum Ratings (e.g., VIN differential > ±2.5V or voltage at pins beyond V− − 0.8V/V+ + 0.8V) may cause permanent damage. The LMH6683MAX includes no integrated input protection diodes; external clamping is recommended only for ESD or extreme transients beyond datasheet limits.
Is the LMH6683MAX pin-compatible with other triple op-amps like the LM324 or TL074?
No, the LMH6683MAX is not pin-compatible with legacy quad or triple op-amps such as LM324 or TL074. It uses a dedicated 14-pin SOIC footprint (D package) with specific pin assignments for three independent amplifiers, shared supplies, and no dedicated shutdown or offset-null pins. Its pinout matches only the LMH6683 family (e.g., LMH6683MA, LMH6683MT). Substituting LMH6683MAX into an LM324 layout would result in incorrect connections, missing power routing, and functional failure. Always use the official SOIC-14 pin diagram from the LMH6683MAX datasheet for PCB design.
