Product details
Overview
LMH6702MA from Texas Instruments is a 1.7-GHz current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low harmonic distortion in high-fidelity signal paths. It delivers −100 dBc HD2 and −96 dBc HD3 at 5 MHz (SOT-23), 3100 V/µs slew rate, 1.83 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and 13.4 ns settling to 0.1% - enabling use as a flash ADC driver in radar receivers and high-resolution video systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6702MA datasheet, LMH6702MA pinout, LMH6702MA application, or LMH6702MA equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-feedback architecture, package-dependent distortion performance (SOT-23 vs SOIC), ±5 V supply operation, 100 Ω load drive capability, and absence of external compensation requirements.
Technical Context
The LMH6702MA employs a current-feedback topology where loop gain and bandwidth are set primarily by the feedback resistor value (optimized at 237 Ω), not closed-loop gain - enabling stable 1.7 GHz −3-dB bandwidth at AV = 2 with minimal gain dependency. Its VIP10™ complementary bipolar process supports high-speed operation while maintaining DC accuracy.
Harmonic distortion is highly sensitive to PCB layout: supply decoupling ground return separation and package choice (SOT-23 offers superior HD2/HD3 vs SOIC due to shorter bond wires) directly impact measured −100 dBc/−96 dBc performance at 5 MHz. Input bias currents are uncorrelated between inverting and non-inverting inputs, precluding standard impedance-matching offset cancellation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3-dB Bandwidth | 1.7 GHz at AV = 2, VOUT = 0.5 VPP - enables baseband-to-UHF signal amplification without gain-bandwidth trade-off |
| Slew Rate | 3100 V/µs - supports full-scale transient response for >10-bit resolution at multi-MSPS sampling rates |
| HD2 / HD3 (5 MHz) | −100 dBc / −96 dBc (SOT-23) - meets distortion floor requirements for 10+ ENOB flash ADC drivers |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.83 nV/√Hz above 1 MHz - preserves SNR in wideband IF and video signal chains |
| Settling Time | 13.4 ns to 0.1% - ensures accurate sampling window closure for high-speed data acquisition |
| Supply Current | 12.5 mA at ±5 V - balances power efficiency with RF-grade linearity in portable or thermally constrained systems |
| Output Current | 80 mA - drives 100 Ω loads directly, eliminating need for output buffer stages in ADC interface designs |
Pinout & Package
The LMH6702MA is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with internal no-connect (NC) pins at positions 1, 5, and 8. This package variant provides thermal resistance RθJA = 133 °C/W and supports higher power dissipation than the SOT-23 option.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practices |
| 2 | Inverting input | Current-summing node for feedback network; high-impedance input with −8 µA typical bias current |
| 3 | Non-inverting input | High-impedance voltage-sensing node; −6 µA typical bias current, 1.4 MΩ input resistance |
| 4 | Negative supply | Accepts −4 V to −6 V; requires low-ESR decoupling (e.g., 6.8 µF + 0.01 µF) referenced to clean ground |
| 5 | No connection | Internally unconnected; avoid routing traces or vias to this pad |
| 6 | Output | Capable of ±3.5 V swing into 100 Ω; 30 mΩ closed-loop output impedance minimizes gain error |
| 7 | Positive supply | Accepts +4 V to +6 V; decoupling identical to V−; CSS capacitor critical for HD2 optimization |
| 8 | No connection | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated from die; no thermal or electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback architecture | Enables 1.7 GHz bandwidth independent of closed-loop gain, eliminating traditional gain-bandwidth compromise |
| Ultra-low distortion at RF frequencies | −67 dBc OIM3 at 75 MHz supports wide dynamic range communication receiver IF stages |
| Optimized for ADC/DAC interface | 13.4 ns 0.1% settling and 1.83 nV/√Hz noise meet timing and SNR requirements of 10+ bit, >100 MSPS converters |
| Unity-gain stable without compensation | Eliminates external compensation components, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity in high-speed circuits |
| VIP10™ bipolar process | Delivers 3100 V/µs slew rate and 80 mA output drive while maintaining <±4.5 mV input offset voltage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6703MA | Higher supply current (15 mA), improved HD2 (−105 dBc @ 5 MHz), same SOIC-8 footprint | Better suited for ultra-low-distortion IF stages where power budget allows +2.5 mA per channel | Select when HD2 improvement >5 dB outweighs 20% higher quiescent power |
| THS3201D | Lower bandwidth (1.8 GHz), higher noise (2.1 nV/√Hz), different pinout (non-inverting input on Pin 3, inverting on Pin 2) | Compatible for gain-of-2 non-inverting configurations but requires PCB redesign for inverting topologies | Consider only for new designs where THS3201's rail-to-rail output swing is required |
Compared with LMH6702MA, LMH6703MA delivers measurable HD2 improvement at modest power cost, while THS3201D offers alternative output swing and noise trade-offs but demands layout revision - making LMH6702MA optimal for drop-in upgrades of CLC409/CLC449-based systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for the LMH6702MA?
The LMH6702MA has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±6.75 V, but its recommended operating range is ±4 V to ±6 V. Operation at ±5 V is typical and ensures optimal distortion and bandwidth performance as characterized in the datasheet. Exceeding ±6.75 V risks permanent damage, while operation below ±4 V may reduce output swing and slew rate.
Does the LMH6702MA require external compensation capacitors?
No, the LMH6702MA is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation capacitors. Its current-feedback architecture inherently provides stability across gains ≥1 when used with the recommended 237 Ω feedback resistor. Adding compensation capacitors would degrade bandwidth and transient response without benefit.
How does package choice affect harmonic distortion in the LMH6702MA?
The SOT-23 package delivers −100 dBc HD2 and −96 dBc HD3 at 5 MHz, while the SOIC package measures −87 dBc HD2 and −98 dBc HD3 under identical conditions. This difference arises from shorter bond wires in the SOT-23, reducing supply-to-input coupling - a key distortion mechanism. The LMH6702MA (SOIC-8) reflects the SOIC performance profile.
Can the LMH6702MA drive a 50 Ω load effectively?
The LMH6702MA is specified for 100 Ω loads (e.g., −100 dBc HD2 at 5 MHz), but it can drive 50 Ω with reduced output swing (±3.2 V) and increased distortion (HD2 degrades ~3–5 dB). For sustained 50 Ω operation, verify thermal limits: RθJA = 133 °C/W and 12.5 mA supply current yield ~1.25 W dissipation - adequate with proper PCB copper area.
What is the purpose of the CSS capacitor in LMH6702MA applications?
The CSS capacitor (placed across V+ and V− supplies near the LMH6702MA) is critical for minimizing second-harmonic distortion. It shunts high-frequency supply transients away from the internal current mirrors. TI recommends a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF) placed as close as possible to Pins 4 and 7 - omitting CSS increases HD2 by up to 15 dB in the 10–20 MHz band.
