Product details
Overview
LMV842QMAX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS 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, 133 dB open-loop gain, and 0.3 pA input bias current - enabling precision signal conditioning in space-constrained industrial and portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMV842QMAX/NOPB datasheet, LMV842QMAX/NOPB pinout, LMV842QMAX/NOPB application, or LMV842QMAX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its RRIO capability at 3.3 V/5 V/±5 V supply, −40°C to +125°C temperature range, low 1 mA per channel supply current, and VSSOP-8 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMV842QMAX/NOPB implements a CMOS input stage with anti-parallel ESD diodes limiting differential input voltage to ±300 mV, and features internal compensation for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100 pF. 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 under 10 kΩ load.
Designed for single-supply and split-supply configurations, it maintains 112 dB CMRR and 108 dB PSRR across frequency, with 20 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz - supporting low-noise amplification in high-gain transducer interfaces without external filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V microcontroller I/O domains and 5 V/±5 V analog subsystems without level-shifting. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 4.5 MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~300 kHz with gain ≥10 while preserving phase margin >67°. |
| Input Bias Current | 0.3 pA typical - minimizes voltage error in high-Z sensor bridges (e.g., 10 MΩ source) to <3 µV at 25°C. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±500 µV max - ensures ≤0.5% gain error in 100× instrumentation amplifier configurations at room temperature. |
| Output Swing (RL = 10 kΩ) | Within 32 mV of V+ and 38 mV of V− at 5 V supply - allows full-scale ADC utilization without headroom loss in 12-bit+ data acquisition. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial motor control feedback loops. |
| Supply Current per Channel | 1.5 mA max - enables dual-amplifier operation on coin-cell or energy-harvesting power budgets. |
Pinout & Package
LMV842QMAX/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) with nominal body size 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, optimized for thermal performance (RθJA = 179.2°C/W) and board area efficiency.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT A) | Amplifier A output | Delivers rail-to-rail sourced/sunk current up to 33 mA; requires local 100 nF bypass capacitor at V+ pin. |
| 2 (−IN A) | Inverting input A | High-impedance node (7 pF capacitance); differential voltage must be limited to ±300 mV to avoid protection diode conduction. |
| 3 (+IN A) | Noninverting input A | CMOS input with 0.3 pA bias current; common-mode range extends to V− − 0.1 V and V+ + 0.2 V at 5 V supply. |
| 4 (V−) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation or −5 V rail in split-supply designs; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| 5 (+IN B) | Noninverting input B | Independent high-Z input for second channel; shares same ESD protection topology and bias current spec as Pin 3. |
| 6 (−IN B) | Inverting input B | Matches Pin 2 electrical behavior; differential input limitation applies separately per channel. |
| 7 (OUT B) | Amplifier B output | Functionally identical to Pin 1; supports independent loading and decoupling. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.7–12 V; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥100 nF) between Pins 4 and 8 for stability. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV842IDR | Same silicon die, SOIC-8 package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm); RθJA = 121.4°C/W vs 179.2°C/W for VSSOP. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board compatibility; higher thermal resistance limits power density. | Select when mechanical mounting or reworkability outweighs board area constraints. |
| TLV9062IDR | Higher 10 MHz GBW, 0.5 pA input bias current, but only rated to 85°C ambient; no guaranteed 125°C operation. | Suitable for consumer-grade portable instruments but not automotive or industrial control environments. | Choose for bandwidth-critical applications where extended temperature qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with LMV842IDR and TLV9062IDR, LMV842QMAX/NOPB uniquely balances 125°C operation, ultra-low input bias current, and VSSOP-8 footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, thermally demanding sensor nodes where long-term reliability is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input voltage allowed for LMV842QMAX/NOPB?
The LMV842QMAX/NOPB specifies an absolute maximum differential input voltage of ±300 mV, enforced by internal anti-parallel ESD diodes. Exceeding this limit risks forward-biasing the diodes and drawing excessive current from the signal source. For safe operation, ensure input signals remain within this window or add series current-limiting resistors per TI's layout guidance.
Does LMV842QMAX/NOPB support true rail-to-rail output swing at 3.3 V supply?
Yes, LMV842QMAX/NOPB achieves rail-to-rail output swing at 3.3 V supply: typical high-level output is within 50 mV of V+, and low-level output is within 65 mV of V− under 2 kΩ load. At 10 kΩ load, swing improves to within 28 mV (high) and 33 mV (low), enabling full utilization of 3.3 V ADC references without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for LMV842QMAX/NOPB at 5 V supply?
At 5 V supply, the LMV842QMAX/NOPB input common-mode voltage range is specified from −0.2 V to +5.2 V (CMRR ≥50 dB), extending 200 mV beyond both rails. This allows direct interfacing with signals referenced to negative supplies or above V+, such as current-sense shunt voltages in high-side configurations.
Can LMV842QMAX/NOPB drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
LMV842QMAX/NOPB is internally compensated for stability with capacitive loads up to 100 pF. For loads exceeding 100 pF, TI recommends adding a small isolation resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) in series with the output. Phase margin remains >67° at CL = 20 pF, and overshoot stays below 15% across the full operating temperature range.
Is LMV842QMAX/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
LMV842QMAX/NOPB is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates across −40°C to +125°C and meets many automotive environmental requirements, it lacks formal automotive qualification. For automotive use, consider TI's AEC-Q200 qualified alternatives like TLV9062-Q1 or OPA2333-Q1, which provide equivalent performance with certified reliability testing.
