Product details
Overview
LMV842MM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, CMOS-input, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for high-impedance sensor interface and battery-powered instrumentation. It operates from 2.7 V to 12 V, delivers 4.5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, draws only 1 mA per channel, and features 500 µV max input offset voltage and 0.3 pA input bias current - enabling precision signal conditioning in space-constrained, low-power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMV842MM/NOPB datasheet, LMV842MM/NOPB pinout, LMV842MM/NOPB application, or LMV842MM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its VSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm), −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range, RRIO performance at 3.3 V/5 V/±5 V supplies, and suitability for DAC buffering, active filtering, and high-gain instrumentation amplifier front-ends.
Technical Context
The LMV842MM/NOPB implements a CMOS input stage with anti-parallel ESD diodes limiting differential input voltage to ±300 mV, and supports single-supply (2.7–12 V) or split-supply (±5 V) operation. Its rail-to-rail input common-mode range extends from V− – 0.1 V to V+ + 0.2 V (at 5 V), and output swing reaches within 32 mV of rails (RL = 10 kΩ, VO = V+/2).
It achieves 133 dB open-loop gain, 112 dB CMRR, and 108 dB PSRR at DC, with 20 nV/√Hz input voltage noise and 2.5 V/µs slew rate. Phase margin remains stable at 67° across load capacitances up to 100 pF, supporting robust closed-loop stability in active filter and buffer configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - enables direct interfacing with Li-ion, 3.3 V logic, and industrial 12 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 4.5 MHz - supports stable amplification of audio-band and fast-sensor signals up to ~300 kHz at moderate gains. |
| Input Bias Current | 0.3 pA typical - preserves signal integrity in >1 GΩ sensor interfaces (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoresistive sensors). |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±500 µV maximum - ensures <1 LSB error in 12-bit systems with 2 V full-scale input ranges. |
| Supply Current per Channel | 1.5 mA maximum - allows dual-channel operation on 10 mA budget in portable instrumentation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and outdoor sensor nodes. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Input CMVR: V− – 0.1 V to V+ + 0.2 V; Output swing: within 32 mV of rails (10 kΩ load) - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems. |
Pinout & Package
LMV842MM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm × 1.00 mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and thermal performance (RθJA = 179.2°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT A) | Channel A output | Drives loads ≥2 kΩ; rail-to-rail swing supports full utilization of ADC reference voltage. |
| 2 (–IN A) | Channel A inverting input | Accepts feedback networks; protected by internal 130 Ω series resistors and ±300 mV differential clamp. |
| 3 (+IN A) | Channel A noninverting input | High-impedance node (0.3 pA bias); connects directly to high-Z sensors or reference dividers. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Ground reference in single-supply use; supports true split-rail operation down to –5 V. |
| 5 (+IN B) | Channel B noninverting input | Independent high-Z input for differential sensing or dual-path signal conditioning. |
| 6 (–IN B) | Channel B inverting input | Enables independent feedback per channel; no crosstalk between A/B paths (≥140 dB channel separation at 1 kHz). |
| 7 (OUT B) | Channel B output | Electrically isolated output stage; supports simultaneous buffering of two sensor outputs. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.7–12 V; internal regulation ensures stable biasing across supply variation. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9062IDR | Higher 10 MHz GBW, 0.55 pA input bias, but 1.8–5.5 V supply limit and lower 110 dB CMRR. | Better for high-speed filtering; less suitable for ±5 V or 12 V industrial sensor interfaces. | Select TLV9062IDR when bandwidth >5 MHz is required and supply is limited to ≤5.5 V. |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture, 0.02 µV/°C offset drift, but 350 kHz GBW and 17 µA supply current per channel. | Superior DC accuracy for precision weigh scales; insufficient bandwidth for audio or fast sensor sampling. | Select OPA2333AIDR when long-term offset stability dominates over speed and power. |
Compared with TLV9062IDR and OPA2333AIDR, LMV842MM/NOPB uniquely balances 4.5 MHz bandwidth, 0.3 pA input bias, 2.7–12 V operation, and 1 mA/channel power - making it optimal for general-purpose, wide-supply, high-impedance analog signal chains where neither extreme speed nor zero-drift is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMV842MM/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ – V−) for LMV842MM/NOPB is 13.2 V, with recommended operation from 2.7 V to 12 V. Exceeding 13.2 V risks permanent damage. At 12 V, it maintains rail-to-rail output swing and 4.5 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for industrial 12 V rail applications without external regulators. LMV842MM/NOPB must not be operated beyond its absolute maximum ratings under any condition.
Does LMV842MM/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input at 3.3 V supply?
Yes, LMV842MM/NOPB supports rail-to-rail input with common-mode voltage range from V− – 0.1 V to V+ + 0.2 V at 3.3 V supply - meaning it accepts inputs from –0.1 V to 3.5 V. This enables direct interfacing with sensors that swing below ground or above V+, such as bridge-based strain gauges with offset references. LMV842MM/NOPB achieves this via its CMOS input stage and internal level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the LMV842MM/NOPB VSSOP package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for LMV842MM/NOPB in the 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package is 179.2°C/W, measured on a standard JEDEC 2S2P test board. This value assumes standard PCB copper pour and no added heatsinking. LMV842MM/NOPB can safely dissipate up to ~350 mW at 25°C ambient before reaching its 150°C max junction temperature, supporting continuous dual-channel operation in compact enclosures.
Can LMV842MM/NOPB drive capacitive loads up to 100 pF without oscillation?
Yes, LMV842MM/NOPB maintains 67° phase margin with capacitive loads up to 100 pF, as verified in Figure 20 of the datasheet. Its internal compensation ensures stability in DAC buffer and active filter configurations where load capacitance arises from PCB traces or downstream ADC inputs. LMV842MM/NOPB does not require external isolation resistors for loads ≤100 pF, simplifying layout and reducing component count.
Is LMV842MM/NOPB suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, LMV842MM/NOPB is qualified for operation from –40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for Grade 1 temperature range. Its 12 V supply capability, high PSRR (108 dB), and robust ESD protection (±2000 V HBM) make it suitable for engine control modules, cabin sensor hubs, and ADAS pre-processing stages. LMV842MM/NOPB is widely deployed in automotive-grade designs requiring precision analog signal conditioning.
