Product details
Overview
LMV821DBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage (2.5 V to 5.5 V), low-power applications. It delivers 5.5 MHz gain bandwidth, 1.9 V/μs slew rate, and 0.3 mA typical supply current at 5 V - enabling precision signal conditioning in space-constrained portable electronics such as cordless phones and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the LMV821DBVR datasheet, LMV821DBVR pinout, LMV821DBVR application, or LMV821DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-5 package footprint, –40°C to 85°C operating range, rail-to-rail output swing down to 0.17 V from VCC+ and 0.1 V from GND at 5 V/2 kΩ, and compatibility with single-supply sensor interfaces requiring low input bias current (≤30 nA) and low offset voltage (≤4 mV).
Technical Context
The LMV821DBVR employs a CMOS input stage with rail-to-rail output architecture, supporting common-mode input voltage range extending 0.3 V below ground and up to 4.3 V at 5 V supply. Its internal compensation ensures stability with capacitive loads up to 22 pF while maintaining ≥64.2° phase margin at 5 V/600 Ω.
Designed for single-supply operation, it achieves 95–105 dB large-signal voltage amplification and 72–90 dB CMRR across –40°C to 85°C, with output sourcing/sinking capability of ±20 mA at 5 V - suitable for driving resistive loads without external buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery rails and 3.3 V/5 V logic domains |
| Gain Bandwidth | 5.5 MHz typ at 5 V - supports closed-loop configurations up to ~500 kHz with unity-gain stability |
| Slew Rate | 1.9 V/μs typ at 5 V - sufficient for 10-bit ADC driver stages with ≤100 kHz full-scale transitions |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤4 mV max over –40°C to 85°C - maintains accuracy in DC-coupled sensor front-ends |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail: 0.1 V above GND / 0.17 V below VCC+ at 5 V/2 kΩ - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems |
| Supply Current | 0.3 mA typ at 5 V - allows integration into always-on monitoring circuits with <1 μA sleep leakage |
| Input Bias Current | ≤30 nA max over temperature - minimizes voltage error in high-impedance photodiode or thermistor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV321DBVR | Lower 1 MHz GBW, 0.25 mA ICC, same SOT-23-5 package and pinout | Targeted at cost-sensitive DC/low-frequency apps (e.g., battery voltage monitor); insufficient for >100 kHz signal chains | Select LMV321DBVR only when bandwidth <1 MHz suffices and power budget is tighter than 0.3 mA |
| TLV9001IDBVR | Higher 1 MHz GBW, 0.15 mA ICC, rail-to-rail I/O, same DBV package | Optimized for ultra-low-power IoT endpoints; lower drive strength (40 mA sink) but superior noise (30 nV/√Hz) | Choose TLV9001IDBVR for sub-100 μA average current designs where 1 MHz bandwidth meets requirements |
Compared with LMV321DBVR, LMV821DBVR provides 4.5× higher bandwidth and faster settling for dynamic signals, while TLV9001IDBVR trades 1.5× lower supply current for reduced drive capability and narrower small-signal bandwidth - making LMV821DBVR optimal for mid-speed, moderate-drive analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LMV821DBVR?
The LMV821DBVR is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per TI's SLOS434I datasheet, with electrical characteristics guaranteed across this span - including input offset voltage ≤4 mV, supply current ≤0.6 mA, and output swing maintaining rail-to-rail behavior. It is not rated for automotive or extended industrial temperatures.
Does LMV821DBVR support dual-supply operation?
No, LMV821DBVR does not support true dual-supply operation. Its pinout defines Pin 4 as GND/VCC−, indicating it is designed exclusively for single-supply use with ground as the negative reference. While the input common-mode range extends 0.3 V below ground, applying a negative voltage to Pin 4 violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage.
What is the maximum capacitive load LMV821DBVR can drive stably?
LMV821DBVR is stable driving up to 22 pF capacitive load with 40-dB closed-loop DC gain, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Gain and Phase Margin vs Frequency" plots (Figures 17–21). Driving larger capacitances - such as ADC input capacitors exceeding 22 pF - requires an isolation resistor (≥100 Ω) between LMV821DBVR output and the load to maintain ≥64° phase margin and prevent oscillation.
How does LMV821DBVR compare to LMV821IDBVR?
LMV821DBVR and LMV821IDBVR share identical electrical specifications and SOT-23-5 packaging, but differ in temperature grade: LMV821DBVR is rated for –40°C to +85°C, while LMV821IDBVR extends to –40°C to +125°C. The 'I' suffix denotes the extended temperature variant, with identical pinout, marking (RB1B vs RB8B), and supply current - making them functionally interchangeable where ambient conditions stay within 85°C.
Is LMV821DBVR recommended for new designs?
No - LMV821DBVR is marked "Not Recommended for New Designs" in the official TI datasheet (SLOS434I, Rev. July 2006) and listed as OBSOLETE in TI's 2016 Packaging Addendum. While functional and available through authorized distributors, TI advises migration to newer alternatives like TLV9001 or LPV821 for long-term supply assurance and improved specs including lower noise and enhanced ESD protection.
