Product details
Overview
LMH6720MFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, current-feedback video operational amplifier with TTL-compatible shutdown control, 400MHz small-signal bandwidth (AV = +2V/V, VOUT = 500mVPP), 1800V/μs slew rate, and 0.02% differential gain error at 4.43MHz driving 150Ω - optimized for HDTV, NTSC/PAL video distribution and high-speed multiplexing.
For engineers reviewing the LMH6720MFX/NOPB datasheet, LMH6720MFX/NOPB pinout, LMH6720MFX/NOPB application, or LMH6720MFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown timing (11ns turn-on / 7ns turn-off), low 500μA shutdown current, 6-pin SOT-23 thermal resistance (198°C/W), and current-feedback architecture requiring precise RF selection (e.g., 300Ω for AV = +2).
Technical Context
The LMH6720MFX/NOPB uses TI's VIP10 complementary bipolar process with current-feedback topology to achieve wideband performance while maintaining stability across gains of ±1 to ±6V/V. Its input buffer features ~180Ω inverting-input impedance, and closed-loop operation requires external feedback resistor tuning - not fixed-gain configuration.
Unlike voltage-feedback op amps, the LMH6720MFX/NOPB's bandwidth remains largely independent of closed-loop gain when RF is properly selected; however, gain flatness degrades above ±5V/V due to RG limitations and input buffer output resistance constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3dB Bandwidth | 400MHz at 500mVPP 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 Error | 0.02% at 4.43MHz into 150Ω (meets broadcast-grade NTSC video fidelity requirements) |
| Shutdown Current | 500μA (reduces system power by >90% during inactive periods in portable or multi-channel systems) |
| Turn-on Time | 11ns (enables sub-frame switching in video routing applications with minimal glitching) |
| Supply Current | 5.6mA typical at ±5V (balances speed and power efficiency for continuous video signal paths) |
| Harmonic Distortion | −58dBc HD2 / −70dBc HD3 at 20MHz (preserves signal integrity in wideband active filters and cable drivers) |
Pinout & Package
LMH6720MFX/NOPB is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and standard JEDEC-compliant footprint. Pin 1 is marked via laser scribe; device orientation follows TI DBV outline drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Accepts −5V to −6.25V; must be decoupled locally to minimize ground bounce in high-speed operation |
| 2 (+IN) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance node (2MΩ); sensitive to layout parasitics - requires guard ring and minimized trace length |
| 3 (−IN) | Inverting input | Low-impedance node (~180Ω); dictates feedback network design and stability via RF selection |
| 4 (OUTPUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of 70mA continuous drive into 100Ω; supports back-terminated 75Ω video loads |
| 5 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +5V to +6.25V; bypassing with 0.1μF ceramic + bulk capacitor is mandatory |
| 6 (SD) | Shutdown control | TTL-compatible logic input: <0.8V disables (high-Z I/O), >2.0V enables; no pull-up required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible shutdown pin | Enables fast, low-power multiplexing of multiple video channels onto shared transmission lines without external level shifters |
| Current-feedback architecture | Delivers stable 400MHz bandwidth across gains +1 to +6V/V when RF is tuned per TI's recommended values (e.g., 300Ω @ AV=+2) |
| 0.1dB gain flatness to 120MHz | Ensures uniform amplitude response across entire NTSC/PAL luminance and chrominance bands |
| 1800V/μs slew rate | Prevents edge rounding on 1080p/60 video transitions and preserves rise/fall symmetry in pulse signals |
| Low 0.02% differential gain error | Meets SMPTE RP 168 specification for analog video distribution equipment used in broadcast infrastructure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband video amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6714MFX/NOPB | No shutdown pin; 5-pin SOT-23; 0.01% DG/DP (slightly better video fidelity) | Fixed-gain video driver where power gating is unnecessary | Select when lowest distortion is critical and shutdown functionality is not required |
| LMH6722MAX/NOPB | Quad-channel SOIC-14; higher 22.5mA supply current; no shutdown per channel | Multi-channel video processing (e.g., RGB+sync amplification) in space-constrained PCBs | Select when consolidating four video paths reduces board area and interconnect complexity |
Compared with LMH6714MFX/NOPB and LMH6722MAX/NOPB, the LMH6720MFX/NOPB uniquely balances single-channel speed, low-power shutdown, and compact 6-pin SOT-23 packaging - making it optimal for scalable, power-aware video routing nodes rather than fixed-driver or multi-channel integration roles.

FAQ
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for LMH6720MFX/NOPB at a gain of +2V/V?
The LMH6720MFX/NOPB requires a 300Ω feedback resistor (RF) for optimal bandwidth, gain flatness, and stability at AV = +2V/V with ±5V supplies. This value is validated in TI's SNOSA39G datasheet Figure 31 and Application Note OA-13. Using lower RF (e.g., 147Ω) causes peaking; higher RF (e.g., 400Ω) rolls off bandwidth. The LMH6720MFX/NOPB's current-feedback architecture makes RF selection critical - unlike voltage-feedback op amps.
Does LMH6720MFX/NOPB support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LMH6720MFX/NOPB operates from a single +8V to +12.5V supply (or ±4V to ±6.25V dual supplies). When using single supply, the shutdown pin (SD) must remain between 0V and VCC/2–1V per Absolute Maximum Ratings; applying SD < VCC/2 may damage the internal disable circuit. Input common-mode range extends to ±VCC, and output swings to ±3.4V into 100Ω with ±5V rails - confirming rail-to-rail output capability under proper biasing.
How does the shutdown function affect output impedance in LMH6720MFX/NOPB?
When disabled, the LMH6720MFX/NOPB places its input and output terminals in high-impedance state (>1MΩ), but effective off-isolation depends on external feedback components. In inverting configurations, RF and RG dominate output impedance during shutdown - not the IC itself. TI specifies IOZ = 0.2–1.8MΩ for the shutdown output terminal, and recommends minimizing RF/RG values to improve isolation. The LMH6720MFX/NOPB's 7ns shutdown time ensures rapid transition without signal coupling.
Can LMH6720MFX/NOPB drive a 75Ω back-terminated video load?
Yes, the LMH6720MFX/NOPB is explicitly characterized for 75Ω back-terminated video loads in TI's SNOSA39G datasheet, delivering 0.02% differential gain and 0.01° differential phase error at 4.43MHz. It provides 70mA continuous output current and maintains 0.1dB gain flatness to 120MHz into 150Ω (equivalent to two parallel 75Ω loads). For direct 75Ω termination, configure as unity-gain buffer with 600Ω feedback resistor per TI's buffer configuration guidance.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LMH6720MFX/NOPB in its SOT-23 package?
The LMH6720MFX/NOPB in 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package has a thermal resistance θJA of 198°C/W, as specified in the Operating Ratings table of SNOSA39G. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. With 5.6mA quiescent current at ±5V, power dissipation is ~56mW; at maximum ambient temperature (85°C), junction temperature reaches ~185°C - below the 150°C absolute max limit only if board-level thermal management (e.g., copper pour, thermal vias) reduces effective θJA. Derating is required for sustained high-output-current operation.
