Product details
Overview
LMV821DCKR 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 supply current at 5 V, operating across –40°C to 85°C. It serves as a precision signal-conditioning amplifier in portable sensor interfaces and battery-powered analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LMV821DCKR datasheet, LMV821DCKR pinout, LMV821DCKR application, or LMV821DCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC-70-5 package size, rail-to-rail output swing (4.85 V at 5 V supply), input offset voltage (≤4 mV over temperature), and compatibility with space-constrained, low-noise signal chains in consumer and industrial edge devices.
Technical Context
The LMV821DCKR implements a CMOS-input, rail-to-rail output op-amp architecture with no crossover distortion, enabling clean small-signal amplification near supply rails. Its input common-mode range includes ground, supporting single-supply operation with inputs referenced to 0 V.
It achieves stable unity-gain operation with 64.2° phase margin at 5 V and 600 Ω load, and maintains ≥135 dB amplifier-to-amplifier isolation-critical in multi-channel systems where crosstalk must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Gain Bandwidth | 5.5 MHz typ at 5 V - enables stable closed-loop gain up to ~55 at 100 kHz for sensor signal amplification. |
| Slew Rate | 1.9 V/μs typ at 5 V - supports 100-kHz full-power bandwidth for 1-VPP signals without distortion. |
| Output Swing | 0.1 V from rail (sinking) / 0.15 V from rail (sourcing) at 2 kΩ load and 5 V supply - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply data acquisition. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤4 mV over –40°C to 85°C - ensures ≤0.8% gain error in 100-mV full-scale sensor outputs without trimming. |
| Supply Current | 0.3 mA typ at 5 V - allows continuous operation for >1 year on a 200-mAh coin cell in always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤150 nA over temperature - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance pH or photodiode sources. |
Pinout & Package
LMV821DCKR is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package - 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm, 0.65 mm pitch - designed for ultra-compact PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts reference or sensor signal; common-mode range extends to GND for single-supply biasing. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Connects to feedback network; matched input impedance minimizes offset drift due to bias current mismatch. |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable: drives ADC inputs or low-side current-sense resistors directly without external level shift. |
| 4 (GND/VCC−) | Ground / negative supply | Single-supply operation: tied to system GND; no separate negative rail required. |
| 5 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; internal ESD protection rated per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 (±2 kV contact). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No crossover distortion | Eliminates 2nd-harmonic artifacts in audio and precision DC-coupled signal paths, preserving waveform fidelity. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers >97% of full supply voltage swing, maximizing SNR when driving SAR ADCs with 0–VCC input ranges. |
| Low 0.3 mA supply current | Reduces thermal load in dense layouts and extends battery life in wearables and IoT endpoints without sacrificing bandwidth. |
| SC-70-5 package | Occupies 50% less board area than SOT-23-5, enabling placement adjacent to sensors to minimize trace-induced noise pickup. |
| –40°C to 85°C operation | Validated for use in automotive cabin modules, industrial HMI panels, and outdoor environmental monitors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV321IDBVR | Lower bandwidth (1 MHz), higher supply current (0.85 mA), same SC-70-5 package and rail-to-rail output. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-speed applications like simple comparators or slow-settling filters. | Select when bandwidth <2 MHz suffices and power budget allows +180% ICC increase. |
| TLV9001IDCKR | Higher precision (0.3 mV VIO max), lower noise (30 nV/√Hz), same 5-pin SC-70 and 5.5 V supply range. | Designed for high-resolution sensor interfaces requiring <0.01% gain error and sub-16-bit ENOB. | Select when offset and noise dominate system error budget, and 1.2 mA ICC is acceptable. |
Compared with LMV321IDBVR, LMV821DCKR provides 4.5× more bandwidth and 65% lower supply current; compared with TLV9001IDCKR, it trades 10× higher offset and 1.4× higher noise for 60% lower ICC and broader legacy design support.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for LMV821DCKR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV821DCKR is 5.5 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond this voltage risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 5 V, where all electrical characteristics-including gain bandwidth, slew rate, and output swing-are guaranteed across temperature.
Does LMV821DCKR support true rail-to-rail input?
No, LMV821DCKR does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from VCC− (GND) to VCC+ − 0.3 V at 25°C, meaning the maximum allowable input voltage is typically 4.7 V at 5 V supply. However, it does provide rail-to-rail output swing, reaching within 100 mV of both supply rails under 2 kΩ load.
Is LMV821DCKR suitable for driving ADC inputs directly?
Yes, LMV821DCKR is well-suited for direct ADC driving in single-supply systems. Its rail-to-rail output delivers 0.1 V to 4.9 V swing at 5 V supply, fully covering typical 0–VCC ADC input ranges. Its 5.5 MHz bandwidth and 1.9 V/μs slew rate support settling to 12-bit accuracy within 1 μs for moderate-gain configurations.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LMV821DCKR SC-70 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the LMV821DCKR in the SC-70 (DCK) package is 252°C/W, as documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves with added copper pour or thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present) - though the DCK package has no thermal pad.
Why is LMV821DCKR marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
TI designated LMV821DCKR as "Not Recommended for New Designs" due to the introduction of newer, higher-performance alternatives like the TLV9001 series, which offer lower offset, lower noise, and improved CMRR while maintaining SC-70 packaging and supply compatibility. LMV821DCKR remains fully functional and supported for existing designs and legacy production, but TI encourages new designs to evaluate successors for enhanced accuracy and long-term supply assurance.
