Product details
Overview
LMV981IDBVRE4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for 1.8-V to 5-V low-power portable systems. It delivers 1.4-MHz gain bandwidth, 100-µA supply current per channel, 4-mV max input offset voltage, and shutdown capability with 0.156-µA quiescent current - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered energy metering and sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LMV981IDBVRE4 datasheet, LMV981IDBVRE4 pinout, LMV981IDBVRE4 application, or LMV981IDBVRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200-mV beyond-rail common-mode input range, 80-mV rail-to-rail output swing into 600 Ω at 1.8 V, fast 8.4-µs wake-up from shutdown, and SOT-23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMV981IDBVRE4 employs a Class AB output stage with complementary input pairs to achieve true rail-to-rail operation across 1.8–5-V supplies. Its input common-mode range extends 200 mV beyond both rails, supporting single-supply sensing of ground-referenced signals without level-shifting circuitry.
Internal biasing enables stable operation with capacitive loads up to 1000 pF while driving 600-Ω loads, and the shutdown control (SHDN) pin reduces total supply current to sub-microamp levels - critical for intermittent-sampling architectures in industrial monitoring and battery health systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5 V - supports direct connection to single Li-ion or dual alkaline cells without regulation. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1.4 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters, sensor amplification, and low-speed data acquisition up to ~100 kHz. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 4 mV at 25°C - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification of millivolt-level transducer outputs. |
| Supply Current (per channel) | 100 µA - allows integration of multiple channels in ultra-low-power systems with <100-µA sleep budgets. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | 80 mV from rail into 600 Ω at 1.8 V - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage ADC interfaces. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VCC− − 0.2 V to VCC+ + 0.2 V - accepts inputs below ground or above supply, simplifying bipolar signal conditioning. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 0.156 µA at 1.8 V - reduces system standby power by >99% versus active mode. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm body, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C reflow compatible).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN−) | Inverting input | Differential node for feedback configuration; high-impedance (65 nA bias current) enables high-gain precision circuits. |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts signals from sensors or references; supports common-mode voltages 200 mV beyond rails. |
| 3 (VCC−/GND) | Negative supply / ground reference | Single-supply operation uses this as system ground; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Accepts 1.8–5 V; internal regulation ensures stable biasing across voltage range. |
| 5 (SHDN) | Active-high shutdown control | Pull ≥1.0 V (1.8 V supply) to enable; ≤0.55 V to enter ultra-low-power shutdown state. |
| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Drives 600 Ω load to within 80 mV of rails; capable of sourcing 80 mA / sinking 58 mA at 5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9001IDBVR | Lower 0.65-mV max VIO, higher 1-MHz GBW, but 150-µA supply current and no shutdown pin. | Lacks integrated shutdown; requires external enable logic for ultra-low-power duty cycling. | Choose TLV9001IDBVR when offset-critical DC accuracy outweighs shutdown necessity and power budget allows +50 µA. |
| OPA316IDBVR | Higher 10-MHz GBW, lower 0.15-mV max VIO, 400-µA supply current, no shutdown, wider 1.8–5.5-V range. | Not suitable for intermittent-sampling systems due to absence of shutdown and higher static current. | Choose OPA316IDBVR for high-speed signal chains requiring >1-MHz bandwidth and sub-mV offset, where continuous operation is acceptable. |
Compared with TLV9001IDBVR and OPA316IDBVR, the LMV981IDBVRE4 uniquely balances micropower operation (100 µA), integrated shutdown (0.156 µA), and rail-to-rail I/O in a 6-pin SOT-23 - making it optimal for battery-gauging, energy harvesting, and always-on sensor nodes where power gating is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LMV981IDBVRE4 at 1.8-V supply?
The LMV981IDBVRE4 can source up to 4 mA and sink up to 7 mA when operating from a 1.8-V supply, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Short-Circuit Current" at TA = 25°C. This output drive strength supports direct interfacing with medium-impedance loads such as ADC input networks or LED indicators without external buffers.
Does the LMV981IDBVRE4 support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
Yes, the LMV981IDBVRE4 supports a common-mode input voltage range (VICR) from VCC− − 0.2 V to VCC+ + 0.2 V, meaning it operates 200 mV beyond both supply rails. This is confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics tables across 1.8-V, 2.7-V, and 5-V conditions - enabling direct connection to ground-referenced sensors without external biasing resistors.
What is the typical turn-on time from shutdown for the LMV981IDBVRE4?
The typical turn-on time from shutdown for the LMV981IDBVRE4 is 8.4 µs when operating from a 5-V supply, as measured in the Electrical Characteristics table. At 1.8 V, the turn-on time increases to 19 µs, and at 2.7 V it is 12.5 µs - all values reflect the time required for output to settle within 10 mV of final value after SHDN transitions high.
Is the LMV981IDBVRE4 pin-compatible with other members of the LMV98x family?
No, the LMV981IDBVRE4 (SOT-23-6) is not pin-compatible with the LMV982 dual op-amp (MSOP-10) or LMV981 variants in SC-70 (DCK) or QFN (RUG) packages. Pinout differs across packages: only the SOT-23-6 (DBV) variant shares identical pin assignments with LMV981IDBVR and LMV981IDBVTE4 - confirmed by TI's Package Drawing DBV and top-view schematics.
What is the thermal performance of the LMV981IDBVRE4 in SOT-23-6 package?
The LMV981IDBVRE4 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. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual board layout, copper area, and airflow will affect real-world junction temperature rise under continuous 100-µA operation.
