Product details
Overview
LMV821AILT from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier with shutdown functionality, designed for low-power, high-accuracy signal conditioning in automotive and portable systems. It delivers 5.5 MHz gain bandwidth, 0.8 mV max input offset voltage (at 25°C), 400 µA max supply current at 5 V, and operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to +125°C. It is used in battery-powered sensor front-ends requiring stable DC precision and fast transient response.
For engineers reviewing the LMV821AILT datasheet, LMV821AILT pinout, LMV821AILT application, or LMV821AILT equivalent, key selection criteria include its shutdown-enabled ultra-low quiescent current (50 nA), rail-to-rail output swing into 2 kΩ, ±200 mV output headroom at full temperature range, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive signal chains.
Technical Context
The LMV821AILT integrates a precision input stage with CMOS input transistors enabling 0.5–30 nA input offset current and 70–90 dB common-mode rejection. Its internal architecture supports rail-to-rail output swing down to 150 mV from each supply rail under 2 kΩ load while maintaining phase stability with capacitive loads up to 200 pF.
Shutdown control is implemented via a dedicated SHDN pin that forces output into high-impedance state and reduces total supply current to ≤50 nA at 25°C. Turn-on/turn-off times are specified at 300 ns and 20 ns respectively, enabling rapid power cycling in duty-cycled sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion or regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 5.5 MHz - supports closed-loop bandwidths >1 MHz in unity-gain buffer or active filter configurations. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.8 mV max at 25°C - ensures ≤0.5% error in 12-bit ADC front-end gain stages without trimming. |
| Quiescent Current | 400 µA max per channel at 5 V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes (e.g., tire pressure sensors). |
| Shutdown Current | 50 nA max at 25°C - reduces system standby power by >99.9% versus active mode. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail, within 150 mV of VCC+/VCC− into 2 kΩ - maximizes dynamic range for 3.3 V ADCs with 0–3.3 V input range. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - validated for under-hood automotive locations and industrial edge sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LMV821AILT is packaged in SC70-5 (SOT323-5), a 1.25 mm × 1.65 mm surface-mount package with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN−) | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts common-mode voltage from VCC− − 0.2 V to VCC+ − 1 V with no phase reversal. |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance input (IIB ≤ 120 nA) for precision sensing; supports DC-coupled sensor interfaces. |
| 3 (V−) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; tied to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 4 (SHDN) | Shutdown control | Active-low logic input; must be driven to V− to enter 50 nA shutdown mode; floating prohibited. |
| 5 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable output; drives ≥26 mA sink/source at 5 V; high-Z in shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) - certified for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications. |
| Rail-to-rail output | 150 mV headroom at 2 kΩ load - preserves full ADC input range in 3.3 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Low input offset drift | 1 µV/°C max - limits thermal-induced error to <100 µV over full temperature range. |
| ESD robustness | 4 kV HBM (non-SHDN pins), 3.5 kV HBM (SHDN pin) - withstands handling and board-level ESD events. |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Up to 200 pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors in ADC driver or filter applications. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSV851ILT | Lower IQ (180 µA max), no shutdown, 1.5 MHz GBP, same SC70-5 package | Not suitable for duty-cycled systems requiring nanoamp standby; better for always-on ultra-low-power apps | Select when shutdown is unnecessary and bandwidth demand is ≤1.5 MHz. |
| LMV321IDBVR | No shutdown, 1 MHz GBP, 7 mV Vio max, SOT23-5, non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and rail-to-rail output swing; higher offset limits DC accuracy | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer-grade designs where temperature range and precision are secondary. |
Compared with TSV851ILT and LMV321IDBVR, LMV821AILT uniquely combines automotive qualification, shutdown capability, 5.5 MHz bandwidth, and sub-millivolt offset-making it the sole choice for high-reliability, battery-conscious automotive and industrial signal chains requiring both precision and power gating.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LMV821AILT can drive stably?
The LMV821AILT maintains phase margin ≥60° with capacitive loads up to 200 pF when configured as a unity-gain follower with RL = 10 kΩ, as verified in Figure 13 of the datasheet. For loads >100 pF, layout best practices (short traces, local decoupling) are required to avoid peaking or oscillation.
Does the SHDN pin require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?
No external resistors are needed if the SHDN pin is actively driven by a microcontroller GPIO. However, if left unconnected during MCU reset, it must be pulled to V− via a 100 kΩ resistor to guarantee shutdown state and prevent undefined output behavior.
How does the input common-mode range affect single-supply sensor interfacing?
The LMV821AILT supports input voltages from V− − 0.2 V to V+ − 1 V, enabling direct connection of grounded-sensor outputs (e.g., thermocouples, bridge sensors) without level-shifting circuitry, while avoiding output phase reversal even near ground.
Is the LMV821AILT pin-compatible with the LMV321 in SC70-5 packages?
No - LMV321IDBVR uses standard SOT23-5 pinout (IN+, IN−, V−, OUT, V+), whereas LMV821AILT uses SC70-5 pinout (IN−, IN+, V−, SHDN, OUT). The SHDN pin replaces V+; direct replacement requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation for shutdown control.
