Product details
Overview
LMV821DBVTG4 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, operating across –40°C to 85°C. It serves signal conditioning in portable sensor interfaces and battery-powered analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LMV821DBVTG4 datasheet, LMV821DBVTG4 pinout, LMV821DBVTG4 application, or LMV821DBVTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output swing (4.85 V at 5 V supply), input common-mode range extending to ground, low input offset voltage (≤3.5 mV), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMV821DBVTG4 implements a CMOS input stage with rail-to-rail output stage, enabling full-swing operation into high-impedance loads while maintaining low crossover distortion. Its 5.5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth and 64.2° phase margin ensure stable closed-loop performance with capacitive loads up to 22 pF.
Designed for single-supply operation, it supports input common-mode voltage from –0.2 V to 4.3 V (at 5 V supply) and delivers ±20 mA output drive capability. The device exhibits 42 nV/√Hz input voltage noise and 0.2 pA/√Hz input current noise at 1 kHz, making it suitable for precision DC-coupled amplification.

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 GBW (1 MHz), higher supply current (0.85 mA), same SOT-23-5 package | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth applications where 5.5 MHz is unnecessary | Select when design prioritizes lowest BOM cost over speed/power trade-off |
| TLV9001IDBVR | Higher precision (0.3 mV VIO), lower noise (30 nV/√Hz), same supply range and package | Preferred for high-accuracy sensor signal chains requiring sub-12-bit linearity | Select when offset drift and noise dominate system error budget over bandwidth |
Compared with LMV321DBVR, LMV821DBVTG4 provides 5.5× higher bandwidth and 53% lower supply current; compared with TLV9001IDBVR, it trades 0.3 mV offset and 12 nV/√Hz noise reduction for 2.2× higher slew rate and broader industrial temperature support.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LMV821DBVTG4?
The LMV821DBVTG4 is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range ensures reliable performance in embedded systems deployed in uncontrolled ambient environments, including factory automation controllers and outdoor sensor nodes. The device's electrical characteristics-including gain bandwidth, slew rate, and input offset-are guaranteed across this full range per the TI SLOS434I datasheet revision July 2006.
Does LMV821DBVTG4 support rail-to-rail input?
No, LMV821DBVTG4 does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from –0.2 V to 4.3 V at 5 V supply (i.e., 0.2 V below ground and 0.7 V below VCC+). While the output is rail-to-rail, the input stage requires at least 0.2 V headroom below GND and 0.7 V headroom below VCC+ for proper operation. This allows ground-referenced sensor interfacing but excludes true input swing to the positive rail.
What is the maximum capacitive load LMV821DBVTG4 can drive stably?
The LMV821DBVTG4 maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 22 pF, as confirmed by phase margin measurements of ≥64.2° under 5 V supply and 22 pF load conditions. Driving larger capacitive loads-such as ADC input capacitances exceeding 22 pF-requires an isolation resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) between the LMV821DBVTG4 output and the load to preserve phase margin and prevent peaking or oscillation.
Is LMV821DBVTG4 pin-compatible with other SOT-23-5 op-amps?
LMV821DBVTG4 uses the standard SOT-23-5 pinout (OUT, IN−, GND, IN+, VCC+) and is mechanically compatible with other SOT-23-5 op-amps. However, electrical behavior-including bandwidth, noise, and supply current-differs significantly from alternatives like LMV321 or TLV9001. Pin compatibility does not guarantee functional interchangeability; circuit revalidation is required when substituting.
Why is LMV821DBVTG4 marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
LMV821DBVTG4 is marked "Not Recommended for New Designs" because Texas Instruments has superseded it with newer-generation amplifiers such as the TLV9001 and OPA320 families, which offer improved offset, noise, and power efficiency. While LMV821DBVTG4 remains fully functional and supported for existing designs, TI advises new projects to adopt these enhanced alternatives to benefit from extended lifetime availability and superior specifications.
