Product details
Overview
LMV301MG from Texas Instruments is a CMOS rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply, low-voltage operation (1.8 V to 5 V), featuring 0.182 pA typical input bias current, 1 MHz gain bandwidth product, and 40 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz - enabling high-precision electrometer-grade signal conditioning in photodetection and sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LMV301MG datasheet, LMV301MG pinout, LMV301MG application, or LMV301MG equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SC70-5 package mapping, real-world design meaning of key specs, and two validated alternative op amps for low-leakage, low-voltage analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The LMV301MG implements a CMOS input stage with rail-to-rail output swing and an input common-mode range extending to −0.3 V (below ground), supporting true single-supply operation down to 1.8 V. Its 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth is achieved with only 150 µA supply current, delivering a high speed-power ratio ideal for battery-powered instrumentation.
It drives 600 Ω resistive loads and up to 1000 pF capacitive loads in unity-gain follower configurations, with DC open-loop gain of 100 dB and phase margin of 60°–70° across 1.8 V to 5 V supplies - ensuring stable operation without external compensation in most precision DC and low-frequency AC applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 0.182 pA typical - enables ultra-low-leakage transimpedance amplifiers for photodiode and ion-sensor signals without offset drift. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.0 V - supports direct interface with Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V), and regulated 1.8 V/3.3 V rails. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz - provides sufficient bandwidth for 10 Hz–100 kHz sensor signal conditioning while maintaining low power. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | 0.024 V to 1.77 V at 1.8 V supply - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems, preserving >98% of full-scale output swing. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 40 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - ensures minimal added noise in high-gain, low-level signal amplification (e.g., thermocouple, strain gauge). |
| DC Open-Loop Gain | 100 dB - guarantees <0.1% gain error in closed-loop configurations with gains ≤100, critical for precision measurement. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | −0.3 V to +1.2 V at 1.8 V - includes ground and allows direct sensing of 0 V–reference signals without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LMV301MG is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm × 1.0 mm, optimized for space-constrained portable and wearable electronics. The package is RoHS-compliant, lead-finished with matte tin (SN), and rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-input-bias-current, rail-to-rail-output op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV6001IDBVR | Higher input bias current (0.6 pA typ), lower noise (25 nV/√Hz), same SC70-5 package and 1.8 V min supply. | Better noise performance but 3.3× higher input leakage - less suitable for sub-100 nA photocurrent amplification. | Select TLV6001IDBVR when noise dominates error budget and input currents exceed 500 nA. |
| OPA316IDBVR | Higher supply current (400 µA), wider GBW (10 MHz), same 1.8 V min supply and rail-to-rail output. | Supports faster settling and higher-frequency filtering but reduces battery life by 2.7× in always-on sensor nodes. | Select OPA316IDBVR when bandwidth >1 MHz or settling time <1 µs is required in portable instrumentation. |
Compared with TLV6001IDBVR and OPA316IDBVR, the LMV301MG uniquely balances femtoamp-level input bias current, 1 MHz bandwidth, and 150 µA quiescent current - making it the optimal choice for battery-powered, high-impedance analog front-ends where leakage-induced offset and power efficiency are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the LMV301MG?
The LMV301MG is fully specified and guaranteed to operate from 1.8 V to 5.0 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains rail-to-rail output swing (0.024 V to 1.77 V), 1 MHz gain bandwidth, and 0.182 pA input bias current - enabling direct use with single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline batteries throughout their discharge curve. Operation below 1.8 V is not characterized and may result in degraded performance or instability.
Does the LMV301MG support rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage?
The LMV301MG features a rail-to-rail *output* swing but its input common-mode voltage range is −0.3 V to +1.2 V at 1.8 V supply - which includes ground but does not extend to the positive rail. This allows true single-supply operation with ground-referenced inputs, but prohibits direct sensing of signals near V+. For full rail-to-rail input capability, consider alternatives like the TLV9001. The LMV301MG's input stage remains functional and accurate within its specified VCM range.
Can the LMV301MG drive a 1000 pF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes - the LMV301MG is explicitly characterized to drive up to 1000 pF capacitive loads in unity-gain follower configurations without external compensation. This capability is confirmed in the datasheet's "Capacitive Load Tolerance" section and typical performance curves. However, for loads >500 pF, TI recommends adding a small series resistor (50 Ω–100 Ω) between the output and load to ensure robust phase margin across temperature and process variation. The LMV301MG's internal compensation is optimized for this behavior.
What is the maximum output current capability of the LMV301MG at 1.8 V supply?
At 1.8 V supply, the LMV301MG can source up to 4 mA and sink up to 3.3 mA while maintaining output voltage accuracy within specification. This is verified in the 1.8 V DC Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Short Circuit Current." Driving heavier loads will cause output voltage compression or thermal derating. For applications requiring >5 mA, the LMV301MG should be paired with an external buffer or replaced with a higher-output-current op amp such as the OPA316.
Is the LMV301MG suitable for thermocouple amplification in industrial environments?
Yes - the LMV301MG is well-suited for thermocouple signal conditioning in industrial settings due to its −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, 100 dB DC open-loop gain (enabling precise cold-junction compensation), and 40 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz. Its 0.182 pA input bias current prevents significant offset errors when used with high-impedance thermocouple leads or RTD-based reference junctions. Layout best practices (guard rings, clean PCB surfaces) are recommended to preserve low-leakage performance in humid or dusty environments.
