Product details
Overview
LMV794MMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, decompensated CMOS-input operational amplifier optimized for low-noise, high-speed signal conditioning in 1.8V–5.5V systems. It delivers 88 MHz gain bandwidth at G = +10, 5.8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, and rail-to-rail output swing within 25 mV of either rail into 10 kΩ - enabling precision photodiode amplification and ADC driver stages.
For engineers reviewing the LMV794MMX/NOPB datasheet, LMV794MMX/NOPB pinout, LMV794MMX/NOPB application, or LMV794MMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its minimum stable gain of 10 V/V, 1.30 mA per channel supply current at 5V, −40°C to +125°C operating range, and SOIC-8 packaging with verified pin compatibility across TI's LMV79x family.
Technical Context
The LMV794MMX/NOPB employs a decompensated two-pole architecture with dominant pole at 1.6 kHz and second pole at 45 MHz, enabling 88 MHz GBW while maintaining 1.30 mA quiescent current per channel. Its CMOS input stage provides 100 fA typical input bias current and 0.01 pA/√Hz current noise density - critical for high-impedance sensor interfaces.
Stability requires closed-loop gain ≥10 V/V or external lead-lag compensation; it is not unity-gain stable. Rail-to-rail output drives ±60 mA and sustains <0.04% THD+N at 1 kHz into 600 Ω, supporting low-distortion buffering in portable medical and instrumentation signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 88 MHz at G = +10 - enables wideband filtering and fast-settling ADC drivers without increasing supply current. |
| Input Voltage Noise Density | 5.8 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level sensor front-ends like photodiode transimpedance amplifiers. |
| Supply Current per Channel | 1.30 mA at 5V - supports battery-powered instrumentation with minimal power overhead for high-speed performance. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | 25 mV from rail into 10 kΩ - maximizes dynamic range in 1.8V–5.5V single-supply systems, reducing headroom loss. |
| Input Bias Current | 100 fA typical - minimizes DC error and leakage-induced drift in high-Z pH sensors, piezoelectric pickups, and capacitive touch interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensing, industrial process control, and medical diagnostics equipment. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes negative rail (0 V) - allows ground-referenced single-supply operation without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
LMV794MMX/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant footprint, and thermal resistance θJA = 190°C/W on 2-layer PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input B (−IN B) | High-impedance CMOS node for feedback network connection in channel B; referenced to V− for common-mode range. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input B (+IN B) | High-impedance CMOS node for signal source connection in channel B; accepts inputs down to V− (0 V). |
| 3 | Output B (OUT B) | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking up to 60 mA; drives 600 Ω loads with <0.04% THD+N. |
| 4 | Ground / Negative Supply (V−) | Reference return for both channels; common-mode input includes this rail, enabling true single-supply operation. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input A (+IN A) | High-impedance CMOS node for signal source connection in channel A; identical electrical specs to Pin 2. |
| 6 | Inverting Input A (−IN A) | High-impedance CMOS node for feedback network connection in channel A; matched to Pin 1 for dual-channel symmetry. |
| 7 | Output A (OUT A) | Rail-to-rail output identical to Pin 3; supports independent dual-amplifier configurations without crosstalk degradation. |
| 8 | Positive Supply (V+) | Single-supply input accepting 1.8V–5.5V; supplies both channels; PSRR >80 dB across 2.0V–5.5V range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, low-noise operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV794IDR | Same die, SOIC-8 package, but with standard TI tape-and-reel marking (no /NOPB suffix); RoHS-compliant, Pb-free finish. | No functional difference; identical electrical specs, thermal performance, and pinout - suitable for volume production where NOPB marking is not required. | Select LMV794IDR for cost-sensitive, high-volume OEM designs needing standard TI packaging and logistics. |
| OPA2350UA | Unity-gain stable; lower GBW (38 MHz); higher supply current (5.5 mA/ch); 7 nV/√Hz noise; SOIC-8 package. | Supports G = +1 without external compensation but trades bandwidth, power, and noise performance - better for general-purpose buffering than precision high-speed sensing. | Choose OPA2350UA only when unity-gain stability is mandatory and 88 MHz GBW is unnecessary. |
Compared with LMV794IDR, the LMV794MMX/NOPB offers identical performance with guaranteed green (Pb-free/NOPB) compliance for regulated markets; versus OPA2350UA, the LMV794MMX/NOPB delivers >2× bandwidth and <25% supply current at lower noise - making it superior for battery-powered, high-fidelity sensor signal chains.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for LMV794MMX/NOPB?
The LMV794MMX/NOPB requires a minimum closed-loop gain of +10 V/V for unconditional stability without external compensation. This decompensated design enables its 88 MHz gain bandwidth while consuming only 1.30 mA per channel. Attempting unity-gain operation will cause oscillation unless lead-lag compensation is applied per TI's Application Report SNOSAX6D.
Does LMV794MMX/NOPB support rail-to-rail input?
No, the LMV794MMX/NOPB features rail-to-rail *output* but not rail-to-rail *input*. Its input common-mode voltage range extends to the negative rail (V−) but only up to 4 V with a 5 V supply - i.e., VCM = −0.3 V to +4 V. The input stage is CMOS-based, providing high impedance and low bias current, but does not swing fully to V+.
What is the maximum load capacitance LMV794MMX/NOPB can drive without instability?
The LMV794MMX/NOPB can directly drive ≤20 pF capacitive loads while maintaining ≥45° phase margin at G = +10. For larger loads (e.g., ADC input capacitance + PCB trace), TI recommends adding a series resistor (typically 10–50 Ω) between the output and load to isolate capacitance - verified in Figure 33 of the SNOSAX6D datasheet. Exceeding this without isolation risks peaking or ringing.
Is LMV794MMX/NOPB suitable for single-supply 1.8V operation?
Yes, the LMV794MMX/NOPB is fully specified and functional at 1.8V supply for temperatures from 0°C to +125°C, with verified performance including 88 MHz GBW, 5.8 nV/√Hz noise, and rail-to-rail output swing. At −40°C, operation begins at 2.0V - making it ideal for ultra-low-power portable devices powered by single Li-ion or alkaline cells.
How does LMV794MMX/NOPB differ from LMV793MMX/NOPB?
The LMV794MMX/NOPB is the dual-channel variant (two independent amplifiers), while LMV793MMX/NOPB is the single-channel version. Both share identical per-channel specifications: 88 MHz GBW, 5.8 nV/√Hz noise, 100 fA input bias, and SOIC-8 packaging for the LMV794 versus SOT-23-5 or SOIC-8 for the LMV793. Pinout, thermal characteristics, and compensation requirements are identical per channel.
