Product details
Overview
LMV796QMF/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, low-noise, CMOS-input operational amplifier optimized for automotive-grade sensor interface and precision signal conditioning. It delivers 5.8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 1.15 mA supply current at 5 V, 17 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, rail-to-rail output swing (25 mV from rail @ 10 kΩ), and operates across −40°C to +125°C - enabling high-fidelity amplification in battery-powered automotive sensors and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LMV796QMF/NOPB datasheet, LMV796QMF/NOPB pinout, LMV796QMF/NOPB application, or LMV796QMF/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, guaranteed 2.5 V/5.0 V performance, 100 fA input bias current, low 1/f noise corner (400 Hz), and stable operation driving 600 Ω loads with <0.01% THD+N at 1 kHz.
Technical Context
The LMV796QMF/NOPB uses TI's VIP50 CMOS process to achieve ultra-low input bias current (100 fA) and low input-referred voltage noise (5.8 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz), making it suitable for photodiode transimpedance and high-impedance sensor front-ends. Its rail-to-rail output stage employs positive feedback to sustain >40 mA sourcing capability even at 1.8 V supply.
It features a 17 MHz gain-bandwidth product with unity-gain stability, supports supply voltages from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, and includes ground-sensing input common-mode range (down to V−). The device is not recommended for open-loop comparator use due to output stage design constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Noise | 5.8 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - enables high-SNR amplification of microvolt-level sensor signals without degrading dynamic range. |
| Supply Current | 1.15 mA per channel at 5 V - supports extended battery life in portable automotive and medical devices. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 17 MHz - allows stable gain-of-10 amplification up to ~1.7 MHz or gain-of-100 up to ~170 kHz for wideband signal chains. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | 25 mV from rail @ 10 kΩ load - maximizes usable output voltage swing at low supply voltages (e.g., 2.5 V or 3.3 V systems). |
| Input Bias Current | 100 fA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance pH, photodiode, and piezoelectric sensor interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - meets automotive under-hood and industrial control environmental requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, CMOS-input op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA376AIDBVR | Lower input voltage noise (4.6 nV/√Hz), higher supply current (760 µA), no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Better for ultra-low-noise lab instrumentation; unsuitable for automotive production due to lack of automotive qualification. | Select when absolute lowest noise dominates over qualification and power; verify thermal stability at 125°C junction. |
| TSV911ILT | Higher input bias current (1 pA), lower GBW (8 MHz), wider supply range (2.7–5.5 V), no 1.8 V operation. | Cost-optimized for consumer-grade sensor interfaces; lacks low-voltage operation and automotive temp range. | Choose for non-automotive, cost-sensitive designs where 1.8 V operation and 125°C operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with OPA376AIDBVR and TSV911ILT, the LMV796QMF/NOPB uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 1.8 V operation, 100 fA input bias, and 17 MHz bandwidth - making it the only option qualified for automotive under-hood sensor signal chains requiring simultaneous low-noise, low-power, and extended temperature performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LMV796QMF/NOPB can drive stably in unity-gain configuration?
The LMV796QMF/NOPB is specified to drive up to 120 pF capacitive load without oscillation in unity-gain follower configuration. This stability margin eliminates the need for external isolation resistors in many PCB layouts. For loads exceeding 120 pF, an isolation resistor (RISO) between the output and load capacitance is recommended to restore phase margin. The LMV796QMF/NOPB datasheet Figure 45 provides design guidance for such cases.
Does the LMV796QMF/NOPB support true 1.8 V operation across its full temperature range?
The LMV796QMF/NOPB is fully specified for operation at 1.8 V supply voltage across 0°C to +125°C ambient temperature. At −40°C to +125°C, the minimum operating supply is 2.0 V. This dual-voltage specification enables flexible use in battery-powered automotive modules that start at 1.8 V (e.g., coin-cell or energy-harvesting systems) while maintaining robustness across full automotive temperature extremes.
Is the LMV796QMF/NOPB pin-compatible with other members of the LMV79x family?
No - the LMV796QMF/NOPB (single-channel, 5-pin SOT-23) is not pin-compatible with the LMV797 (dual-channel, 8-pin VSSOP). Pin compatibility exists only within same-channel-count variants: LMV796/LMV796Q share identical 5-pin SOT-23 pinout, while LMV797 uses a separate 8-pin layout. Swapping between single and dual versions requires PCB redesign.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the LMV796QMF/NOPB at 5 V supply?
At 5 V supply, the LMV796QMF/NOPB supports an input common-mode voltage range of −0.3 V to +4.0 V (CMRR ≥55 dB) and −0.3 V to +3.7 V (CMRR ≥60 dB). This includes the negative rail (ground in single-supply use), enabling direct connection to grounded sensors like thermocouples and resistive bridges without level-shifting circuitry - a critical feature for precision DC measurements.
Can the LMV796QMF/NOPB be used as a comparator?
The LMV796QMF/NOPB is not recommended for open-loop comparator use. Its output stage uses positive feedback to enhance current drive, which limits slew rate asymmetry and causes unpredictable recovery behavior when overdriven. TI explicitly advises against using the LMV796QMF/NOPB as a comparator. For comparator functions, dedicated devices such as TLV3201 or TLV7031 are appropriate alternatives.
