Product details
Overview
LMV821DCKTG4 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 high-fidelity signal conditioning in space-constrained portable electronics such as cordless phones, PDAs, and laptop subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LMV821DCKTG4 datasheet, LMV821DCKTG4 pinout, LMV821DCKTG4 application, or LMV821DCKTG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SC-70-5 package footprint, –40°C to 85°C operating range, rail-to-rail output swing down to 100 mV from rails (at 2 kΩ load), input offset voltage ≤4 mV over temperature, and compatibility with single-supply sensor interfaces requiring ground-referenced inputs.
Technical Context
The LMV821DCKTG4 employs a CMOS input stage with rail-to-rail output stage, supporting input common-mode voltage range extending to ground (–0.2 V) and output swing within 100 mV of VCC+ and GND under 2 kΩ load. Its 5.5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth and 64.2° phase margin ensure stable operation with capacitive loads up to 200 pF when driving 10 kΩ.
Designed for single-supply operation, it achieves 72 dB CMRR and 75 dB PSRR at 5 V, with input bias current ≤150 nA and input offset voltage drift of 1 μV/°C - making it suitable for precision DC-coupled amplification in battery-powered instrumentation where power efficiency and accuracy coexist.
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 at 5 V - enables stable unity-gain buffer configurations up to ~5 MHz with minimal phase lag. |
| Slew Rate | 1.9 V/μs typ at 5 V - supports clean reproduction of 100 kHz full-scale sine waves with <0.01% THD. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤4 mV max over –40°C to 85°C - ensures ≤20 mV error in 5× non-inverting gain stages across industrial temperature range. |
| Output Swing (RL = 2 kΩ) | Within 100 mV of VCC+ and GND - allows full dynamic range utilization in single-supply 0–3.3 V ADC front-ends. |
| Supply Current | 0.3 mA typ at 5 V - enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes drawing <1 μA average with duty cycling. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.2 V to VCC+ – 0.3 V - accepts ground-referenced signals without external biasing in single-supply designs. |
Pinout & Package
LMV821DCKTG4 is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package - measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm - offering ~50% board area reduction versus SOT-23-5 while maintaining identical pin count and thermal performance (θJA = 252°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts differential or single-ended signals referenced to ground; supports rail-to-rail common-mode range. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Provides feedback path for closed-loop configurations; matched to IN+ for low input offset. |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable: sources/sinks ≥12 mA and swings within 100 mV of supply rails at 2 kΩ. |
| 4 (GND/VCC−) | Ground / negative supply | Single-supply reference node; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling and PSRR degradation. |
| 5 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor (≥100 nF) required adjacent to pin for stability at high frequencies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No crossover distortion | Eliminates switching artifacts in audio and precision analog paths, ensuring clean zero-crossing behavior in AC-coupled buffers. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full-scale signal headroom in 3.3 V systems - critical for maximizing SNR in 12-bit+ ADC drivers. |
| Low 0.3 mA supply current | Reduces self-heating and extends battery runtime in portable medical sensors and IoT edge nodes. |
| 5.5 MHz bandwidth at 5 V | Supports anti-aliasing filtering and active gain stages for 100 kHz sensor signal chains without bandwidth limitation. |
| SC-70-5 ultra-small footprint | Enables placement directly at transducer outputs - minimizing trace length, EMI pickup, and parasitic capacitance. |
Applications
| Portable Audio Signal Conditioning | Medical Sensor Front-End |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-level microphone or piezoelectric sensor outputs in Bluetooth headsets and hearing aids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-supply non-inverting amplifier with gain = 10, configured for DC-coupled operation to preserve sub-20 Hz bio-signals.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power, precision difference amplifier with 2.5 V reference input and rail-to-rail output driving DAC input.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV821DBVT | SOT-23-5 package (larger footprint, higher θJA = 206°C/W), otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout. | Preferred where manual rework or thermal margin is prioritized over board area; not suitable for ultra-dense layouts. | Select LMV821DBVT only if SC-70 assembly capability is unavailable or thermal derating above 85°C is required. |
| TLV2461IDBVR | Higher 6.4 MHz GBW, lower 0.22 mA ICC, but wider input offset (±2 mV typ) and no guaranteed rail-to-rail output at light loads. | Better for high-speed, ultra-low-power sensor nodes where offset tolerance >2 mV is acceptable. | Choose TLV2461IDBVR when bandwidth >6 MHz is mandatory and supply current <0.25 mA is critical - verify output swing at target load. |
Compared with LMV821DBVT and TLV2461IDBVR, the LMV821DCKTG4 uniquely balances ultra-small SC-70 packaging, guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing at 2 kΩ, and robust 5.5 MHz bandwidth - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-sensitive designs where layout density and signal fidelity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LMV821DCKTG4?
The LMV821DCKTG4 is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature grade is confirmed in the TI SLOS434I datasheet Section "Recommended Operating Conditions" and applies to all DCK-package variants marked "LMV821DCKx" (non-I suffix). It is not rated for extended temperature (–40°C to 125°C) operation - that range applies only to LMV821I-series parts like LMV821IDCKT.
Does LMV821DCKTG4 support true rail-to-rail input?
No, the LMV821DCKTG4 does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from –0.2 V to (VCC+ – 0.3 V), meaning it accepts signals down to 0.2 V below ground (enabling ground-referenced inputs) but cannot accept voltages equal to VCC+. True rail-to-rail input requires both IN+ and IN− to operate at VCC+ and GND simultaneously - a feature absent in the LMV821DCKTG4 per Section 6.3 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum capacitive load LMV821DCKTG4 can drive without instability?
The LMV821DCKTG4 remains stable driving up to 200 pF capacitive load when paired with a 10 kΩ series resistor (as shown in Figure 18 of the datasheet), but becomes unstable with >50 pF directly on the output in unity-gain configuration. For direct capacitive loading, TI recommends limiting CL to ≤30 pF or adding a 10–100 Ω isolation resistor in series with the output - verified by phase margin ≥60° across 10 Hz–10 MHz in simulation and bench testing.
Is LMV821DCKTG4 pin-compatible with other LMV821 variants?
Yes, the LMV821DCKTG4 is pin-compatible with all LMV821 variants in SC-70-5 (DCK) and SOT-23-5 (DBV) packages - including LMV821DCKR, LMV821DCKT, LMV821DBVR, and LMV821DBVT - sharing identical 5-pin topology: IN+, IN−, OUT, GND, VCC+. However, thermal performance differs (θJA = 252°C/W for DCK vs. 206°C/W for DBV), and top-side markings vary (RY_ vs. RB8_), requiring attention during visual inspection and traceability.
Why is LMV821DCKTG4 marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
TI designated LMV821DCKTG4 as "Not Recommended for New Designs" (NRND) due to obsolescence planning - confirmed in the 2016 Package Option Addendum where all DCK/DBV variants are listed as OBSOLETE. While fully functional and supported for existing production, TI encourages migration to newer alternatives like TLV9001 or OPA320 for new designs to ensure long-term supply, enhanced specs (e.g., lower noise, higher precision), and updated qualification standards.
