Product details
Overview
LMV791MK/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output, CMOS-input operational amplifier optimized for low-noise, low-voltage sensor signal conditioning. It delivers 5.8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise density, 17 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and 1.15 mA supply current at 5 V, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. It is used in photodiode transimpedance amplifiers where femtoampere bias current and ground-sensing capability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LMV791MK/NOPB datasheet, LMV791MK/NOPB pinout, LMV791MK/NOPB application, or LMV791MK/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 fA input bias current, shutdown mode (0.02 µA), rail-to-rail swing into 2-kΩ load (±45 mV from rails), and SOT-23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained portable instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LMV791MK/NOPB employs a CMOS input stage enabling femtoampere-level input bias current and ground-referenced common-mode operation down to V−. Its internal architecture supports stable unity-gain operation with 17 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 9.5 V/µs typical slew rate under 5-V supply.
It integrates an active enable/shutdown control pin (EN) that toggles between 1.15 mA active mode and sub-1 µA shutdown state, with defined logic thresholds referenced to V+ and V−. Output stage design enables ±60 mA sourcing/sinking capability while maintaining rail-to-rail swing within 25 mV of either rail at 10-kΩ load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Noise | 5.8 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - enables high-fidelity amplification of weak sensor signals without adding significant noise floor |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 17 MHz - supports wideband signal conditioning up to audio and ultrasonic frequencies |
| Supply Current (Active) | 1.15 mA at 5 V - balances performance and battery life in portable systems |
| Shutdown Current | 0.02 µA - extends battery runtime during idle periods in duty-cycled sensor nodes |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | ±25 mV from rails at 10-kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in 1.8–5.5 V single-supply systems |
| Input Bias Current | 100 fA max at 125°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance photodiode and pH electrode interfaces |
| Enable Pin Threshold | VEN ≥ 4.6 V (enable), ≤ 0.4 V (shutdown) at 5 V supply - ensures robust digital control interface with standard logic levels |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA376AIDBVR | Lower input voltage noise (4.2 nV/√Hz), higher supply current (760 µA), no shutdown pin | Better noise performance but lacks power-gating capability; unsuitable for duty-cycled systems | Select when lowest possible noise dominates over power budget and shutdown is unnecessary |
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Higher input bias current (1 pA), lower bandwidth (1 MHz), no shutdown, smaller 5-pin SOT-23 package | Cost-optimized general-purpose op-amp; insufficient for precision photodiode or medical front-ends | Select only for non-critical, low-bandwidth, ultra-low-cost sensor buffering where femtoampere bias is not required |
Compared with OPA376AIDBVR and MCP6001T-E/OT, LMV791MK/NOPB uniquely combines 100 fA input bias, 5.8 nV/√Hz noise, 17 MHz bandwidth, and integrated shutdown in a 6-pin SOT-23-making it the only option among the three suitable for battery-powered, high-precision, intermittently active sensor amplifiers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for LMV791MK/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ − V−) for LMV791MK/NOPB is 6 V. The recommended operating range is 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Operation beyond 5.5 V risks permanent damage and violates the device's qualified electrical specifications; sustained use at 6 V is not supported per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does LMV791MK/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
No. LMV791MK/NOPB supports rail-to-rail *output* swing and has an input common-mode voltage range that extends to the negative rail (V−), but does not reach the positive rail (V+). At 5 V supply, the specified common-mode input range is −0.3 V to +4 V, meaning it is ground-sensing but not full rail-to-rail input capable.
What is the typical turn-on time for LMV791MK/NOPB from shutdown mode?
The typical turn-on time (ton) for LMV791MK/NOPB is 110 ns at 5 V supply, measured from EN rising edge to output settling within 1% of final value. This fast wake-up enables use in high-frequency sampling systems where amplifier activation must align precisely with sensor readout windows.
Can LMV791MK/NOPB drive a 600-Ω load effectively?
Yes. LMV791MK/NOPB is explicitly characterized driving 600-Ω loads, delivering 0.01% THD+N at 1 kHz and maintaining rail-to-rail output swing within 45 mV of either rail at 2-kΩ and 25 mV at 10-kΩ. While output swing degrades slightly at 600 Ω, its ±60 mA output current capability ensures stable operation into such loads.
Is LMV791MK/NOPB suitable for use as a comparator?
No. LMV791MK/NOPB is not designed or characterized for open-loop comparator operation. Its internal compensation, output stage architecture, and lack of built-in hysteresis make it prone to instability and slow response in comparator configurations. TI explicitly advises against using LMV791MK/NOPB as a comparator in the datasheet's Feature Description section.
