Product details
Overview
LMV921M7X from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for 1.8V operation, delivering 1 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 145 µA per amplifier supply current, and 6 mV maximum input offset voltage. It operates from +1.8V to +5.0V supplies and drives 600 Ω loads with ≤100 mV output swing from rail at 1.8V - enabling use in low-voltage portable battery monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV921M7X datasheet, LMV921M7X pinout, LMV921M7X application, or LMV921M7X equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low supply current at 1.8V, guaranteed rail-to-rail I/O performance down to 1.8V, SC70-5 package footprint constraints, and bipolar-input stage behavior affecting VOS vs. VCM crossover.
Technical Context
The LMV921M7X uses a complementary PNP/NPN bipolar input stage enabling rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 300 mV beyond both supply rails. Its output stage delivers ±4 mA short-circuit current and sustains stable unity-gain operation with up to 1 nF capacitive load when configured with external isolation or pull-up resistors.
This device exhibits VOS crossover near 1 V below V+, causing input-stage-dependent distortion for large-swing signals crossing that region. Its 78 dB PSRR and 1.8V–5.0V operating range make it suitable for direct connection to decaying battery rails without regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.0V - supports direct connection to two-cell alkaline (3.0V), single-cell Li-ion (3.6V nominal), or 5V systems without LDO. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffer or low-frequency signal conditioning (e.g., sensor amplification up to ~100 kHz). |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 145 µA typical at 1.8V - allows >6800 hours of operation on a 1000 mAh alkaline AA cell in always-on monitoring. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 6 mV - sets DC accuracy limit in high-gain configurations (e.g., 100× gain yields 600 mV max error). |
| Output Swing (600 Ω load) | Within 100 mV of each rail at 1.8V - ensures full utilization of low-voltage ADC reference ranges (e.g., 1.8V VREF). |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Extends 300 mV beyond both rails - permits sensing ground-referenced or rail-referenced signals without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C junction - validated for industrial portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
LMV921M7X is packaged in the ultra-small SC70-5 surface-mount package (2.0 mm × 2.1 mm × 1.0 mm). This 5-pin package supports space-constrained PCB layouts in handheld and wearable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4 mA into 600 Ω load at 1.8V. |
| 2 (−IN) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; bias current ≤50 nA (max) - requires compensation resistor if feedback network exceeds 10 kΩ. |
| 3 (V−) | Negative Supply / Ground | Reference terminal for single-supply operation; must be connected directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 4 (+IN) | Non-Inverting Input | Differential input node; shares same bipolar input stage as −IN; VOS varies with VCM near 1 V below V+. |
| 5 (V+) | Positive Supply | Accepts 1.8V–5.0V; PSRR = 78 dB - tolerates battery voltage decay without external regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input and output | Enables full-supply-range signal handling in single-supply systems - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry in battery-powered sensors. |
| 1.8V minimum supply operation | Guaranteed functionality at 1.8V - supports direct interface with modern low-power microcontrollers and ADCs using 1.8V I/O domains. |
| 145 µA supply current per amplifier | Reduces system standby power - critical for multi-year battery life in remote monitoring nodes and wearables. |
| Bipolar input stage | Provides low input voltage noise (45 nV/√Hz) and predictable IB behavior - advantageous over CMOS inputs in precision DC-coupled applications. |
| Stable with 1 nF capacitive load | Allows direct driving of ADC input capacitance or long traces without external compensation - simplifies layout in compact designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-voltage, low-power operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9001IDBVR | FET-input, 1 MHz GBW, 50 µA supply current, 0.3 mV VOS max - lower power but higher VOS drift and no guaranteed 1.8V operation. | Preferred where ultra-low input bias current (<1 pA) is required (e.g., photodiode transimpedance); less suitable for precision DC-coupled battery sensing. | Select TLV9001IDBVR only when FET-input advantages outweigh loss of guaranteed 1.8V rail-to-rail I/O and bipolar noise performance. |
| OPA316IDBVR | Bipolar-input, 10 MHz GBW, 400 µA supply current, 0.15 mV VOS max - higher speed and precision, but 2× supply current and no 1.8V guarantee. | Suitable for higher-bandwidth sensor interfaces (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes) where 1.8V operation is not mandatory. | Choose OPA316IDBVR when bandwidth >1 MHz or VOS <1 mV is required, accepting higher power and larger solution size. |
Compared with TLV9001IDBVR and OPA316IDBVR, LMV921M7X uniquely guarantees rail-to-rail I/O and full functionality at 1.8V while maintaining bipolar noise and drive capability - making it irreplaceable in space- and voltage-constrained battery monitoring and portable audio signal paths.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage guaranteed for full specification compliance of the LMV921M7X?
The LMV921M7X is ensured to meet all electrical specifications across its operating temperature range when supplied from +1.8V to +5.0V. While functional behavior may occur down to 1.5V under light load, only the 1.8V–5.0V range is fully characterized and guaranteed per the SNOS436H datasheet. Below 1.8V, parameters such as gain, offset, and output swing are not assured.
Does the LMV921M7X support true rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range?
Yes - the LMV921M7X input common-mode voltage range extends 300 mV beyond both supply rails (e.g., −0.3V to +2.1V at 1.8V supply), verified per the 1.8V DC Electrical Characteristics table. This enables direct sensing of ground-referenced or rail-referenced signals without external level-shifting circuitry.
Can the LMV921M7X drive a 1000 pF capacitive load stably in unity-gain configuration?
Yes - the LMV921M7X can drive up to 1000 pF capacitive load with minimal ringing in unity-gain follower configuration, as confirmed in the Applications section and Figure 52 of the SNOS436H datasheet. Stability is maintained via internal compensation; however, for loads >600 pF, adding a 10–100 Ω series isolation resistor at the output is recommended to ensure phase margin >60°.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LMV921M7X in its SC70-5 package?
The LMV921M7X in the SC70-5 package has a thermal resistance θJA of 440 °C/W, as specified in the Operating Ratings table of the SNOS436H datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves with enhanced copper pour and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present) - though the SC70-5 variant lacks an exposed thermal pad.
How does the input stage architecture of the LMV921M7X affect its DC accuracy in precision applications?
The LMV921M7X uses a complementary PNP/NPN bipolar input stage, resulting in a VOS crossover point approximately 1 V below V+. This causes discontinuous offset behavior across the input common-mode range - introducing distortion in large-swing signals crossing that region and degrading small-signal CMRR. For precision DC applications, biasing the input within a 0.5 V window away from the crossover point is essential to maintain accuracy.
