Product details
Overview
LMV821DBVRG4 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 0.4 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 LMV821DBVRG4 datasheet, LMV821DBVRG4 pinout, LMV821DBVRG4 application, or LMV821DBVRG4 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 100 mV from rails (at 2 kΩ load), and absence of crossover distortion in audio and sensor front-end designs.
Technical Context
The LMV821DBVRG4 employs a CMOS input stage with rail-to-rail output stage, supporting input common-mode voltage down to ground and output swing within 100 mV of supply rails under 2 kΩ load. Its 5.5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth and 64.2° phase margin ensure stable operation with capacitive loads up to 22 pF when driving 600 Ω–100 kΩ loads.
Designed for single-supply operation, it features 75 dB typical CMRR and PSRR over 1.7 V–4 V supply range, with input bias current below 100 nA and input offset voltage ≤3.5 mV (typical) across temperature - making it suitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 5.5 MHz (typ @ 5 V) - enables stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 500 kHz for anti-aliasing or active filtering. |
| Slew Rate | 1.9 V/μs (typ @ 5 V) - supports 100 kHz full-power sine wave output at 1.2 Vpp without distortion. |
| Output Swing | Within 100 mV of rails (RL = 2 kΩ) - preserves dynamic range in low-voltage ADC driver and comparator reference circuits. |
| Supply Current | 0.4 mA (typ @ 5 V) - allows continuous operation in always-on sensor nodes with <1 μA sleep leakage. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤3.5 mV (max @ –40°C to 85°C) - ensures ≤0.7% error in 500 mV full-scale medical sensor amplification. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive cabin electronics. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (DBV): ultra-compact 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint with 0.95 mm height, optimized for PCB area savings in portable devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts signals from 0 V to VCC; supports DC-coupled sensor inputs referenced to ground. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | High-impedance node (IIB < 100 nA); used for feedback network connection in transimpedance or differential configurations. |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable: sources/sinks ≥12 mA while maintaining linearity near supply rails. |
| 4 (GND/VCC−) | Ground / negative supply | Single-supply reference point; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling in mixed-signal layouts. |
| 5 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; bypass capacitor (0.1 μF) required adjacent to pin for stability at high frequencies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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, lower-bandwidth applications (e.g., simple comparators, basic buffers). | Select LMV321DBVR only if bandwidth <1 MHz suffices and power budget is tighter than 0.4 mA. |
| TLV9001IDBVR | Higher 1 MHz GBW, 0.15 mA ICC, rail-to-rail I/O, but specified for –40°C to 125°C. | Designed for extended-temperature industrial and automotive environments requiring higher reliability. | Choose TLV9001IDBVR when operating above 85°C or when lower quiescent current is mandatory despite reduced bandwidth. |
Compared with LMV821DBVRG4, LMV321DBVR trades 82% bandwidth for 38% lower supply current, while TLV9001IDBVR offers wider temperature qualification and lower ICC but sacrifices 82% bandwidth - making LMV821DBVRG4 optimal for 5.5 MHz–capable, 85°C-limited portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LMV821DBVRG4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV821DBVRG4 is 5.5 V. Operation beyond this risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 5 V per TI's SLOS434I datasheet, ensuring reliable rail-to-rail output swing and specified electrical performance across temperature.
Does LMV821DBVRG4 support true rail-to-rail input?
No, LMV821DBVRG4 does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range extends to ground (0 V) but only up to VCC – 0.2 V (min) at 25°C - meaning it accepts inputs from 0 V to ~4.8 V when powered from 5 V. Full rail-to-rail input capability is not specified for this device.
What is the typical output current drive capability of LMV821DBVRG4?
LMV821DBVRG4 can source and sink ≥12 mA while maintaining linearity (VO = 0 V to 2.7 V at VCC = 2.7 V). At 5 V supply, it delivers ≥20 mA sourcing and ≥20 mA sinking into resistive loads - sufficient for driving ADC references, LED bias networks, or moderate-capacitance signal chains.
Is LMV821DBVRG4 still recommended for new designs?
No - LMV821DBVRG4 is marked "Not Recommended for New Designs" in TI's official documentation (SLOS434I, Rev. July 2006). While fully functional and supported for legacy production, TI recommends newer alternatives like TLV9001 or LMV321 for new projects due to improved specs and long-term availability assurance.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SOT-23-5 package used by LMV821DBVRG4?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package of LMV821DBVRG4 is 206°C/W, as specified in TI's SLOS434I datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves significantly with copper pour and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present) - though DBV lacks an exposed thermal pad.
