Product details
Overview
LMV981IDBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage portable applications. It operates from 1.8 V to 5 V, delivers 1.4 MHz gain bandwidth, consumes only 100 µA per amplifier in active mode, and features shutdown capability with 0.156 µA quiescent current - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered energy metering and supply-current monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV981IDBVR datasheet, LMV981IDBVR pinout, LMV981IDBVR application, or LMV981IDBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 mV beyond-rail input common-mode range, 80 mV rail-to-rail output swing into 600 Ω at 1.8 V, 4 mV max input offset voltage, −40°C to 125°C operating temperature, and SOT-23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMV981IDBVR employs a CMOS input stage enabling rail-to-rail input operation with VICR extending 200 mV beyond supply rails, and a Class AB output stage supporting rail-to-rail output swing under load. Its internal architecture achieves 101 dB open-loop DC gain and 67° phase margin at 1.8 V, ensuring stable unity-gain operation with capacitive loads up to 1000 pF.
Shutdown control is implemented via a dedicated SHDN pin requiring ≥1.0 V (1.8 V supply) or ≥4.2 V (5 V supply) to enable; pull-low disables the amplifier, reducing supply current to 0.156 µA while maintaining fast 8.4 µs turn-on time at 5 V - critical for duty-cycled sensor front-ends and power-aware analog subsystems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9001IDBVR | Higher 1 MHz GBW, lower 0.3 mV VIO, but 150 µA IQ and no shutdown pin. | Lacks hardware shutdown control - requires MCU GPIO toggling and software sequencing for power gating. | Preferred when ultra-low offset dominates over shutdown autonomy and power budget permits +50 µA. |
| OPA316IDBVR | 10 MHz GBW, 0.15 mV VIO, 400 µA IQ, shutdown pin present, but minimum 1.8 V supply not guaranteed below 2.1 V. | Not specified for reliable operation at 1.8 V - risks instability or increased distortion in true low-voltage battery systems. | Selected for higher-speed signal chains where supply is regulated ≥2.2 V and offset-critical precision outweighs quiescent power. |
Compared with TLV9001IDBVR and OPA316IDBVR, the LMV981IDBVR uniquely balances sub-100 µA quiescent current, integrated hardware shutdown, rail-to-rail operation down to 1.8 V, and industrial temperature range - making it optimal for always-on, battery-constrained, and thermally demanding embedded analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LMV981IDBVR at 1.8 V supply?
The LMV981IDBVR can source up to 4 mA and sink up to 7 mA at 1.8 V supply, as specified in the electrical characteristics table for VO = 0 V (source) and VO = 1.8 V (sink) conditions. This is sufficient for driving high-impedance ADC inputs or small capacitive loads but not intended for direct LED or relay driving. The LMV981IDBVR maintains stability under these conditions without external compensation.
Does the LMV981IDBVR support true rail-to-rail input when operating from a 1.8 V single supply?
Yes, the LMV981IDBVR supports true rail-to-rail input: its common-mode input voltage range extends from VCC− − 0.2 V to VCC+ + 0.2 V, meaning it accepts inputs from −0.2 V to +2.0 V at 1.8 V supply. This 200 mV beyond-rail capability allows direct interfacing with transducers whose outputs may slightly exceed the supply rails, eliminating the need for external level-shifting circuitry in the LMV981IDBVR design.
How does the shutdown functionality of the LMV981IDBVR behave across different supply voltages?
The LMV981IDBVR shutdown threshold is supply-dependent: turn-on voltage (VSHDN) is 1.0 V min at 1.8 V supply, 1.9 V min at 2.7 V, and 4.2 V min at 5 V supply. Turn-off voltage is 0.55 V (1.8 V), 0.8 V (2.7 V), and 0.8 V (5 V). This ensures reliable enable/disable behavior across the full 1.8–5 V operating range without external level translation - a key feature of the LMV981IDBVR's integrated control logic.
Can the LMV981IDBVR drive a 1000-pF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes, the LMV981IDBVR is characterized to drive up to 1000-pF capacitive loads with minimal ringing, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Simplified Schematic" and "Typical Performance Characteristics" (Figure 9–12). Its 67° phase margin at 1.8 V and 71° at 5 V ensures unconditional stability into such loads when used in unity-gain buffer configuration - a verified capability of the LMV981IDBVR, not a generic claim.
What is the thermal performance of the LMV981IDBVR in the SOT-23-6 (DBV) package?
The LMV981IDBVR in SOT-23-6 (DBV) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 165°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. At 100 µA quiescent current and 1.8 V supply, power dissipation is ~180 µW, resulting in negligible junction temperature rise (<0.03°C) under still-air conditions - confirming the LMV981IDBVR's suitability for thermally constrained PCB layouts without heatsinking.
