Product details
Overview
LMV797MMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, low-noise, CMOS-input operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, high-fidelity signal conditioning. It delivers 5.8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 17 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and rail-to-rail output swing within a 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range - enabling precision photodiode amplification and sensor interface in battery-powered medical and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LMV797MMX/NOPB datasheet, LMV797MMX/NOPB pinout, LMV797MMX/NOPB application, or LMV797MMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 100 fA input bias current, guaranteed 2.5 V/5.0 V performance, −40°C to 125°C operating temperature, THD+N ≤ 0.01% at 1 kHz into 600 Ω, and stable operation driving capacitive loads up to 120 pF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LMV797MMX/NOPB employs a CMOS input stage with femtoampere-level bias current and a proprietary output stage delivering >40 mA sourcing capability at 1.8 V while maintaining rail-to-rail swing. Its 17 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 9.5 V/μs slew rate support wideband closed-loop configurations including transimpedance and active filtering.
It features an input common-mode range extending to the negative rail (ground-sensing), 85 dB minimum open-loop gain (RL = 10 kΩ), and robust PSRR (≥80 dB) and CMRR (≥75 dB) across 1.8–5.5 V supplies - making it suitable for single-supply, low-noise analog front-ends where DC accuracy and AC fidelity are co-critical.

| 4 (V−) | Negative supply / ground | Reference for both inputs and output; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive applications |
| 5 (+IN B) | Non-inverting input B | Dual-channel independence: electrically isolated from Channel A; shares V− and V+ rails |
| 6 (−IN B) | Inverting input B | Independent high-Z node for second signal path; supports differential or dual-sensor architectures |
| 7 (OUT B) | Amplifier B output | Identical performance to OUT A; enables dual-path signal conditioning without cross-talk penalty |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; internal regulation ensures consistent noise and bandwidth across full range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2376IDGKR | Lower noise (4.5 nV/√Hz), higher supply current (750 μA/channel), same 8-pin VSSOP package | Better suited for ultra-low-noise audio preamps; less optimal for battery-limited sensor nodes due to higher quiescent draw | Select when noise dominates over power budget; verify stability with same feedback network |
| ADA4661-2ARZ | Higher input bias current (1 pA), wider supply range (3–36 V), SOIC-8 package only | Preferred for industrial sensors requiring >5 V headroom or high-voltage rail compatibility; not drop-in for 1.8 V systems | Choose for multi-supply systems or legacy board reuse; requires layout revision for SOIC footprint |
Compared with OPA2376IDGKR and ADA4661-2ARZ, the LMV797MMX/NOPB uniquely balances 5.8 nV/√Hz noise, 1.3 mA/channel consumption, and 1.8 V operation - making it the optimal choice for compact, battery-powered, wideband sensor signal chains where both noise and energy efficiency are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LMV797MMX/NOPB can drive stably in unity-gain configuration?
The LMV797MMX/NOPB is characterized to remain stable with up to 120 pF capacitive load in unity-gain follower configuration without external compensation. This is validated per TI's SNOSAU9D datasheet Figure 39–40 (Phase Margin vs. CL). Exceeding 120 pF requires isolation resistor (RISO) or feedback capacitor (CF) per Figure 45. The LMV797MMX/NOPB's output stage architecture enables this high capacitive drive capability while maintaining >45° phase margin.
Does the LMV797MMX/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
No - the LMV797MMX/NOPB features rail-to-rail *output* swing but its input common-mode range extends only to the negative rail (V−), not the positive rail. Per datasheet Section 7.5, CMVR is −0.3 V to (V+ − 1.3 V) at 5 V supply, meaning the upper limit is ~3.7 V. This ground-sensing capability enables single-supply operation with DC-coupled sensors referenced to 0 V, but high-side sensing above V+ − 1.3 V requires level-shifting. The LMV797MMX/NOPB's input stage is CMOS-based, not RRIO.
What is the guaranteed minimum open-loop voltage gain (AVOL) for the LMV797MMX/NOPB at 25°C and 5 V supply?
The LMV797MMX/NOPB guarantees a minimum open-loop voltage gain of 78 dB (≈7,940 V/V) at TA = 25°C, V+ = 5 V, V− = 0 V, RL = 10 kΩ, and VOUT = 0.3 V to 4.7 V, as specified in Table 2 (5V Electrical Characteristics). This gain ensures ≤0.1% closed-loop error for gains up to 100 when using precision resistors, supporting high-accuracy instrumentation amplifier topologies where the LMV797MMX/NOPB serves as a gain block.
Can the LMV797MMX/NOPB operate reliably at 1.8 V supply across the full −40°C to 125°C temperature range?
No - per Operating Ratings (Section 6.2), the LMV797MMX/NOPB is specified for 1.8 V operation only from 0°C to 125°C. At −40°C, the minimum functional supply voltage is 2.0 V. For full-temperature-range operation down to −40°C, the device must be supplied with ≥2.0 V. This limitation is process-dependent and reflects guaranteed performance margins; using 1.8 V at −40°C may result in degraded bandwidth, increased offset drift, or instability. Always consult TI's SNOSAU9D Revision March 2013 for validated conditions.
How does the LMV797MMX/NOPB's input referred current noise compare to its voltage noise in high-impedance sensor applications?
The LMV797MMX/NOPB exhibits 0.01 pA/√Hz input-referred current noise at 1 kHz, which is exceptionally low due to its CMOS input stage. When paired with high-impedance sources (>100 kΩ), this current noise contributes significantly less to total output noise than its 5.8 nV/√Hz voltage noise - making it ideal for photodiode (typically 100 MΩ–1 GΩ) and piezoelectric sensor interfaces. For example, with a 100 MΩ source impedance, current noise contributes ~1.0 μV/√Hz, while voltage noise dominates at 5.8 nV/√Hz. The LMV797MMX/NOPB's balanced noise profile ensures optimal SNR in both voltage- and current-driven transducers.
