Product details
Overview
LMH6720MF/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, current-feedback video operational amplifier in a 6-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 400MHz small-signal bandwidth (AV = +2V/V), 1800V/μs slew rate, and TTL-compatible shutdown control. It achieves 0.02% differential gain and 0.01° differential phase error driving 150Ω NTSC video loads, making it suitable for high-speed analog video switching and distribution systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6720MF/NOPB datasheet, LMH6720MF/NOPB pinout, LMH6720MF/NOPB application, or LMH6720MF/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown timing (11ns turn-on / 7ns turn-off), low 5.6mA quiescent supply current, 500μA shutdown current, and verified performance at ±5V supplies with 75Ω/150Ω video load compatibility.
Technical Context
The LMH6720MF/NOPB employs Texas Instruments' VIP10 high-speed complementary bipolar process with current-feedback topology, enabling gain-independent bandwidth optimization via external feedback resistor tuning (recommended RF = 300Ω for AV = +2). Its input stage features ~180Ω inverting-input impedance and supports stable operation from unity gain to AV = ±6V/V.
Shutdown functionality is voltage-controlled (ONMIN = 2.0V, OFFMAX = 0.8V) and TTL-compatible; during disable, inputs and output enter high-impedance state (>1MΩ), reducing supply current to 500μA while maintaining rail-to-rail common-mode input range and ±3.9V linear output swing into 100Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3dB Bandwidth | 400MHz at 0.5VPP output - enables full HD baseband video signal amplification without attenuation |
| Slew Rate | 1800V/μs - supports fast transient response for composite sync pulses and digital video edges |
| Differential Gain / Phase | 0.02% / 0.01° at 4.43MHz - meets broadcast-grade NTSC video fidelity requirements |
| Supply Current | 5.6mA typical at ±5V - balances speed and power for portable and multi-channel video systems |
| Shutdown Current | 500μA - reduces system-level standby power in multiplexed video routing applications |
| Turn-on / Turn-off Time | 11ns / 7ns - enables sub-20ns channel switching for real-time video matrix routing |
| Input Voltage Range | ±2.2V common-mode - accommodates DC-coupled video signals with headroom for sync tips |
Pinout & Package
LMH6720MF/NOPB is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), optimized for high-frequency layout with minimal parasitic inductance. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-178 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Low-impedance (0.06Ω) buffered output capable of driving 70mA continuous into 100Ω loads |
| 2 (−IN) | Inverting Input | Current-feedback node with ~180Ω input impedance; requires matched RF for stability |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-inverting Input | High-impedance (2MΩ) input; used for unity-gain buffer or non-inverting configurations |
| 4 (V−) | Negative Supply Rail | Accepts −5V to −6.25V; must be bypassed with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 (SD) | Shutdown Control | TTL-compatible logic input; <0.8V disables amplifier, >2.0V enables; floats high by internal pull-up |
| 6 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts +5V to +6.25V; requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass to ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| HDTV Video Switching Matrix | NTSC/PAL Broadcast Signal Distribution |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Routing multiple HD video sources (HDMI-derived analog RGB/YUV) to display outputs using analog crosspoint switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed buffer and gain stage between switch matrix output and 75Ω coaxial transmission line. Use Value: 400MHz bandwidth preserves edge integrity of 1080p/60Hz signals; 0.02% DG/0.01° DP prevents hue/saturation shift across 16-channel distribution. | Use Scenario: Amplifying and distributing legacy NTSC composite video from security DVRs to wall monitors over 100m coaxial runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage driver with back-termination for impedance matching and reflection suppression. Use Value: 70mA output current drives long cables without sag; shutdown mode cuts power per channel during idle periods in multi-camera systems. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Core gain element in digitally switched resistor network PGA architecture (Figure 36). Use Value: Fast 11ns enable time allows gain reconfiguration mid-frame; low 5.6mA ICC minimizes thermal drift during calibration sequences. | Use Scenario: Selecting one of eight video inputs for digitization in automated test equipment with minimal crosstalk and settling delay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Per-channel enable/disable amplifier acting as analog SPST switch with high off-isolation. Use Value: 7ns shutdown time enables <20ns channel-to-channel switching; high-Z output during disable prevents loading of shared bus lines. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6714MF/NOPB | No shutdown pin; 5-pin SOT-23; identical bandwidth (400MHz) and video specs (0.01% DG/0.01° DP) | Lacks channel enable/disable; suited for always-on video buffers or fixed-gain stages | Select when shutdown functionality is unnecessary and board space favors 5-pin footprint |
| THS3201DRBT | Higher 1.8GHz bandwidth but higher 12.5mA supply current; no integrated shutdown; SO-8 package | Better for RF/IF signal chains beyond video baseband; less optimized for composite video DG/DP | Select when >1GHz small-signal BW is required and power budget allows 2.2× higher ICC |
Compared with LMH6714MF/NOPB, LMH6720MF/NOPB adds precise TTL shutdown control at minor cost in pin count and identical video fidelity; versus THS3201DRBT, it trades raw bandwidth for lower power, smaller footprint, and broadcast-validated differential gain/phase performance.

FAQ
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for LMH6720MF/NOPB at AV = +2V/V?
The LMH6720MF/NOPB datasheet specifies a recommended feedback resistor (RF) of 300Ω for non-inverting gain of +2V/V with ±5V supplies. This value delivers optimal bandwidth (400MHz), gain flatness (0.1dB to 120MHz), and stability. Lower RF values increase bandwidth but risk peaking and oscillation; higher values reduce bandwidth and improve phase margin. The inverting input impedance is ~180Ω, so RF must be selected to maintain proper loop dynamics.
Does LMH6720MF/NOPB support single-supply operation?
Yes, LMH6720MF/NOPB supports single-supply operation with VEE = 0V and VCC = +8V to +12.5V (e.g., +10V). However, the shutdown pin (SD) voltage thresholds shift: ONMIN becomes VCC/2 + 1.2V and OFFMAX becomes VCC/2 − 1.2V per datasheet Section 6.5. Input common-mode range remains rail-to-rail (0V to VCC), and output swing is typically ±3.4V into 100Ω. Decoupling and layout best practices remain unchanged.
How does LMH6720MF/NOPB differ from LMH6714MF/NOPB in video performance?
LMH6720MF/NOPB and LMH6714MF/NOPB share identical core video performance: both achieve 0.1dB gain flatness to 120MHz and deliver 0.02% differential gain / 0.01° differential phase at 4.43MHz into 150Ω. The primary distinction is functional: LMH6720MF/NOPB adds a TTL-compatible shutdown pin (Pin 5), enabling channel enable/disable, while LMH6714MF/NOPB is a 5-pin device without shutdown. LMH6714MF/NOPB has marginally better DG/DP (0.01%/0.01°) per datasheet Table 1.
What is the maximum continuous output current of LMH6720MF/NOPB?
The LMH6720MF/NOPB delivers up to 70mA continuous output current into a resistive load, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "IOUT" (Output Current). This rating assumes operation within thermal limits: at ±5V supplies and ambient temperature ≤85°C, the 6-pin SOT-23 package (θJA = 198°C/W) can dissipate ~350mW before reaching 150°C junction temperature. For sustained 70mA into 100Ω, ensure adequate PCB copper area and airflow to maintain safe thermal operation.
Can LMH6720MF/NOPB be used in inverting configurations?
Yes, LMH6720MF/NOPB supports stable inverting configurations across gains −1V/V to −5V/V. For AV = −1V/V, a 600Ω feedback resistor is required for stability (buffer configuration). At higher inverting gains, RF must be adjusted per Figure 33 in the datasheet - e.g., RF = 300Ω for AV = −2V/V. The inverting input impedance remains ~180Ω, so RG (gain-setting resistor to ground) must be chosen to avoid excessive current draw and maintain bandwidth. Layout must minimize capacitance on the −IN node to prevent instability.
