Product details
Overview
LMV301MGX from Texas Instruments is a CMOS-input, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, single-supply operation (1.8 V to 5 V), featuring 0.182 pA typical input bias current, 1 MHz gain bandwidth product, 150 µA supply current at 1.8 V, 40 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, and 100 dB DC open-loop gain - ideal for high-impedance sensor signal conditioning in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMV301MGX datasheet, LMV301MGX pinout, LMV301MGX application, or LMV301MGX equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SC70-5 package mapping, real-world electrometer-grade performance constraints, and validated alternative options for low-leakage analog front-end design.
Technical Context
The LMV301MGX employs a CMOS input stage enabling sub-picoampere input bias current, critical for transimpedance amplifiers where leakage dominates error budgets. Its rail-to-rail output swing (e.g., 0.024 V to 1.77 V at 1.8 V supply) and ground-sensing input common-mode range (−0.3 V to +1.2 V) support true single-supply signal acquisition without level-shifting circuitry.
It achieves stable unity-gain operation into 600 Ω resistive loads and up to 1000 pF capacitive loads when compensated per TI's recommended RC network (e.g., 50–100 Ω series output resistor + 5–10 pF feedback capacitor), with phase margin maintained ≥60° across 1.8–5 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 0.182 pA typical - enables <1 mV input offset error in 10 GΩ photodiode transimpedance configurations |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.0 V - supports direct interfacing with Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) battery systems |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz - provides usable bandwidth for ≤100 kHz sensor signals while maintaining low power (150 µA) |
| Input Voltage Noise | 40 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - limits detectable signal floor to ~120 nV RMS in 10 Hz–10 kHz band |
| DC Open-Loop Gain | 100 dB (10⁵ V/V) - ensures ≤0.1% gain error in precision 10× non-inverting amplifiers with 600 Ω load |
| Output Swing (1.8 V) | 0.024 V to 1.77 V - delivers >98% of rail-to-rail dynamic range for ADC input buffering |
| Input Common-Mode Range | −0.3 V to +1.2 V - allows direct connection of grounded thermocouples or bridge sensors without biasing resistors |
Pinout & Package
LMV301MGX is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm × 1.0 mm, optimized for space-constrained portable electronics. The package features gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant Sn lead finish, and JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (−) | High-impedance CMOS node; requires guard ring layout to maintain <0.2 pA leakage |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (+) | Ground-referenced input capable of −0.3 V common-mode; critical for single-supply sensor interfaces |
| 3 | Output | Rail-to-rail sourcing/sinking; drives 600 Ω loads to within 24 mV of rails at 1.8 V |
| 4 | Ground (V−) | Reference return for single-supply operation; must be low-impedance path to minimize PSRR degradation |
| 5 | Supply (V+) | Accepts 1.8–5.0 V; supply current remains stable across full range (150–163 µA typ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low input bias current | 0.182 pA typical - preserves signal integrity in picoamp-level photodiode and ion-sensor applications |

| Ground-sensing input range | −0.3 V to +1.2 V - eliminates need for external bias networks in grounded thermistor or strain gauge bridges |
| Low-noise, low-power trade-off | 40 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz with only 150 µA supply - enables battery life >1 year in always-on environmental monitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-input-bias-current op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMP7721MA/NOPB | 3 fA input bias current (100× lower), 17 MHz GBW, 1.1 mA supply current | Better for femtoamp electrometers; unsuitable for battery-constrained designs due to 7× higher quiescent current | Select LMP7721MA/NOPB only when input leakage must be <1 fA and power budget permits >1 mA. |
| OPA316IDBVR | 0.2 pA input bias current, 10 MHz GBW, 400 µA supply current, rail-to-rail I/O | Higher speed and noise (19 nV/√Hz) - trades off low-frequency precision for wider bandwidth in active filters | Choose OPA316IDBVR when system requires >100 kHz closed-loop bandwidth and can tolerate 2.6× higher supply current. |
Compared with LMV301MGX, LMP7721MA/NOPB delivers superior leakage performance at significant power cost, while OPA316IDBVR offers higher bandwidth and noise at moderate power penalty - making LMV301MGX optimal for sub-100 kHz, battery-operated, ultra-low-leakage signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LMV301MGX can drive without oscillation?
The LMV301MGX remains stable into 1000 pF capacitive loads when externally compensated with a 50–100 Ω series resistor at the output and a 5–10 pF capacitor from output to inverting input. Without compensation, oscillation may occur above ~100 pF in unity-gain follower configuration. This behavior is confirmed in TI's SNOS968A datasheet Figure 36 and Application Hints section on capacitive load tolerance. LMV301MGX must be evaluated on target PCB layout due to trace parasitics.
Does the LMV301MGX support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the LMV301MGX operates with split supplies (e.g., ±2.5 V) as long as total supply voltage remains between 1.8 V and 5.0 V and differential input voltage stays within ±supply voltage limits. However, its input common-mode range extends only to −0.3 V below V−, so true dual-supply use requires careful biasing. The device is primarily optimized for single-supply systems, and all guaranteed specifications (e.g., output swing, CMRR) are characterized from 1.8 V to 5.0 V single-ended operation. LMV301MGX data sheet Section "Operating Ratings" confirms −40°C to +85°C junction temperature range applies under both configurations.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage for LMV301MGX over temperature?
The LMV301MGX has a maximum input offset voltage of 9 mV over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), as specified in the "1.8V DC Electrical Characteristics" table of the SNOS968A datasheet. At 25°C, the typical value is 0.9 mV, with a maximum of 8 mV. This parameter is tested and ensured across temperature - not just at room temperature. The offset drift is not explicitly characterized in the datasheet, but the guaranteed max ensures predictable performance in thermocouple and bridge amplifier applications where offset directly impacts measurement accuracy. LMV301MGX maintains this spec regardless of supply voltage within 1.8–5.0 V.
Can LMV301MGX be used in a unity-gain stable transimpedance configuration with >1 GΩ feedback resistor?
Yes, the LMV301MGX is unity-gain stable and supports transimpedance gains up to 10¹⁰ V/A (10 GΩ) due to its ultra-low 0.182 pA input bias current and high DC gain (100 dB). However, layout is critical: guard rings around inputs, air-wiring of pins, and minimized stray capacitance (<0.5 pF) are required to preserve bandwidth and avoid instability. TI's Application Hints (Section "Compensating Input Capacitance") provide exact formulas for feedback capacitor selection based on source impedance and desired bandwidth. LMV301MGX performance degrades if board leakage exceeds 10¹² Ω - verified in Figures 38–43 of SNOS968A.
Is LMV301MGX pin-compatible with LMV321 or other SC70-5 op amps?
No, LMV301MGX is not pin-compatible with LMV321. Although both use SC70-5 packages, LMV321 has different pin assignments: Pin 1 = Output, Pin 2 = Inverting Input, Pin 3 = Non-Inverting Input, Pin 4 = Ground, Pin 5 = Supply - whereas LMV301MGX uses Pin 1 = Inverting Input, Pin 2 = Non-Inverting Input, Pin 3 = Output, Pin 4 = Ground, Pin 5 = Supply. This reversal makes direct replacement impossible without PCB redesign. TI explicitly states "LMV301 is similar to LMV321 except the LMV301 has a CMOS input" - confirming functional similarity but not mechanical or electrical compatibility. LMV301MGX pinout is defined in Figure 1 (SC70-5 Package) of SNOS968A.
