Product details
Overview
LMH6683MT from Texas Instruments is a triple, high-speed, single-supply voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video signal conditioning. 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 portable and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6683MT datasheet, LMH6683MT pinout, LMH6683MT application, or LMH6683MT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world video-system design constraints, package-specific thermal and layout guidance, and validated alternative options for dual- and triple-channel video buffer replacement.
Technical Context
The LMH6683MT uses a voltage-feedback topology with a class-AB input stage that delivers exponential current to the Miller compensation capacitor, enabling higher slew rate at large differential inputs - unlike conventional saturated-input op-amps. Its input common-mode range extends 0.5V beyond V− and to within 1.7V of V+, supporting rail-to-rail input operation under single-supply conditions.
Output swing reaches within 0.8V of either rail into 2kΩ, and it drives ±85/−80mA output current while maintaining <0.01% DG and <0.08° DP at NTSC frequencies. The device is fabricated in TI's VIP10 process, balancing speed (190MHz BW) and quiescent current (6.5mA/amp) for power-sensitive video front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3dB Bandwidth | 190MHz at A = +2, ±5V supply - supports full NTSC/PAL baseband video without attenuation. |
| Slew Rate | 940V/μs - enables distortion-free reproduction of fast video transients (e.g., sync pulses, chroma bursts). |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.01% (NTSC 3.58MHz, RL = 150Ω) - preserves color saturation accuracy across cascaded video stages. |
| Differential Phase Error | 0.08° (NTSC 3.58MHz, RL = 150Ω) - maintains hue fidelity and avoids color shift in analog video chains. |
| Supply Current per Channel | 6.5mA (typ.) - allows triple-channel video buffering in battery-powered portable devices with low thermal load. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Extends 0.5V below V− and to within 1.7V of V+ - supports DC-coupled video input with ground-referenced sources. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 0.8V of rails into 2kΩ - maximizes dynamic range for 1Vpp–2Vpp video signals on 5V single supply. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.4mm × 5.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch, thermally enhanced pad, rated for −40°C to +85°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 155°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Ch1) | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; supports stable gain ≥ −1 or ≥ +2. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Ch1) | Accepts input signal down to 0.5V below V−; immune to phase reversal during overdrive. |
| 3 | Output (Ch1) | Capable of ±85/−80mA drive into 75Ω/150Ω video loads; swing limited to 0.8V from rails. |
| 4 | V− (GND for single supply) | Reference for all channels; must be low-impedance; ties to system ground or negative rail. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (Ch2) | Independent channel input; identical CMVR and noise specs as Ch1. |
| 6 | Inverting Input (Ch2) | Feedback node for Ch2; supports unity-gain stable configuration per channel. |
| 7 | Output (Ch2) | Electrically isolated output; no crosstalk >77dB at 5MHz between adjacent channels. |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; leave unconnected or tie to GND for mechanical stability. |
| 9 | Output (Ch3) | Third independent video buffer output; same AC/DC performance as Ch1/Ch2. |
| 10 | Inverting Input (Ch3) | Feedback terminal for Ch3; supports standard video gain configurations (e.g., +2, −1). |
| 11 | Non-Inverting Input (Ch3) | DC-coupled input capable of accepting video sync tip at 0V with 0.5V headroom below V−. |
| 12 | V+ | Positive supply rail (3V to 12V); requires local 0.1μF ceramic + 4.7μF tantalum decoupling. |
| 13 | NC | No internal connection; do not route signals or apply voltage. |
| 14 | Thermal Pad | Internally connected to V−; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Immunity to output phase reversal | Guaranteed under input overvoltage conditions - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in servo or video sync circuits. |
| Video-optimized AC performance | 0.01% DG / 0.08° DP at NTSC 3.58MHz ensures color fidelity across multi-stage analog video paths. |
| Class-AB input stage | Delivers exponential slew current - sustains 940V/μs even at large differential inputs, avoiding slewing-induced distortion. |
| Single-supply operation | Input CMVR extends 0.5V below V− and output swings to within 0.8V of rails - enables true DC-coupled 5V video buffers. |
| Low crosstalk between channels | −78dB at 5MHz - prevents interference between RGB or Y/C signal paths in triple-buffer applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-channel high-speed operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6683MA | SOIC-14 package; θJA = 145°C/W vs. TSSOP-14's 155°C/W; identical electrical specs. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board compatibility; larger footprint but easier hand-soldering. | Select LMH6683MA when thermal margin >10°C is required or SOIC-14 footprint is already allocated. |
| THS3203D | Triple 1.8GHz current-feedback op-amp; higher bandwidth but requires external compensation; 12mA/amp supply current. | Better for >100MHz RF/IF signal paths; unsuitable for DC-coupled video due to limited input CMVR (−2.5V to +1.5V). | Choose THS3203D only for ultra-wideband non-video applications where gain-bandwidth product >500MHz is mandatory. |
Compared with LMH6683MA and THS3203D, the LMH6683MT offers optimal balance of video-grade linearity (0.01% DG), single-supply usability (0.5V beyond V−), and compact TSSOP-14 packaging - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, battery-operated video systems requiring guaranteed NTSC/PAL fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the LMH6683MT?
The LMH6683MT supports a total supply voltage (V+ − V−) up to 12.6V, with recommended operating range of 3V to 12V. At ±5V (10V total), it achieves its specified 190MHz bandwidth and 940V/μs slew rate. Operation above 12.6V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LMH6683MT support true single-supply operation with DC-coupled inputs?
Yes. The LMH6683MT accepts input voltages down to 0.5V below V− (e.g., −0.5V when V− = 0V), enabling direct connection to ground-referenced video sources. Its output swings to within 0.8V of both rails into 2kΩ, making it fully compatible with 5V single-supply DC-coupled video buffer designs.
How does the LMH6683MT prevent phase reversal during input overvoltage?
The LMH6683MT uses an input stage architecture immune to transistor saturation-induced phase reversal. When inputs exceed the common-mode range, the output clamps predictably to the nearest rail instead of inverting - a critical feature for video sync detection and servo control loops where phase inversion causes system instability.
Can the LMH6683MT drive a 75Ω video load while maintaining differential gain accuracy?
Yes. Tested at RL = 150Ω to 0V (standard for NTSC video), the LMH6683MT delivers 0.01% differential gain error. While driving 75Ω increases output current demand, its ±85/−80mA capability and 0.8V rail headroom ensure full compliance - confirmed by TI's Electrical Characteristics table showing VO(H)/VO(L) specifications at RL = 75Ω.
Is the thermal pad on the LMH6683MT TSSOP-14 package electrically connected?
Yes. The exposed thermal pad on the LMH6683MT is internally connected to V− (pin 4). It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the system ground plane to achieve rated θJA = 155°C/W and ensure reliable operation at full output current and ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
