Product details
Overview
LMV981IDCKR 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 rail-to-rail output swing within 80 mV of rails into 600 Ω - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in battery-powered energy metering and sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LMV981IDCKR datasheet, LMV981IDCKR pinout, LMV981IDCKR application, or LMV981IDCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown-enabled ultra-low quiescent current (0.156 µA), −40°C to 125°C operation, SC-70-6 package footprint, and verified rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 200 mV beyond supply rails.
Technical Context
The LMV981IDCKR employs a Class AB output stage with internal bias control to sustain rail-to-rail output drive into 600 Ω while maintaining stability with capacitive loads up to 1000 pF. Its input stage uses complementary NPN/PNP differential pairs to achieve 200-mV beyond-rail common-mode range and low input bias current (65 nA typical).
Shutdown functionality is implemented via a dedicated SHDN pin requiring ≥4.2 V (at 5 V supply) or ≥1.9 V (at 2.7 V) to enable; turn-on time is 8.4 µs at 5 V. The device features 71° phase margin and 8-dB gain margin at unity gain with 600-Ω load, ensuring robust small-signal transient response without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5 V - supports direct connection to single Li-ion (3.0–3.6 V), two alkaline (2.4–3.2 V), or regulated 1.8/2.7/3.3/5 V rails. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1.4 MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffer or gain-of-10 amplification up to ~140 kHz in sensor signal chains. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA per amplifier - allows continuous operation for >1 year on a 200-mAh coin cell in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 4 mV at 25°C - ensures ≤0.4% full-scale error in 1-V reference-based 10-bit ADC front-ends. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 80 mV of rails into 600 Ω at 1.8 V - preserves >95% dynamic range in low-voltage analog-to-digital conversion paths. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VCC− − 0.2 V to VCC+ + 0.2 V - accepts inputs 200 mV below ground or above VCC, simplifying level-shifting in mixed-supply systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.156 µA typical at 1.8 V - reduces system standby power to nanoampere levels during sleep cycles. |
Pinout & Package
LMV981IDCKR is housed in a 6-pin SC-70 (DCK) package measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable instrumentation and wearables.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Differential input node accepting signals from sensors or DACs; supports common-mode voltages beyond rails. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Feedback node for closed-loop configurations; matched input impedance minimizes offset drift. |
| 3 (VCC−/GND) | Negative supply / ground reference | Single-supply operation: connected to system ground; dual-supply use requires negative rail connection. |
| 4 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Accepts 1.8–5 V; internal regulation ensures consistent biasing across voltage range. |
| 5 (SHDN) | Shutdown control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.0 V (1.8 V supply) enables operation; <0.55 V disables amplifier and cuts ICC to 0.156 µA. |
| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Class AB stage drives 600 Ω loads to within 80 mV of rails; stable with 1000-pF capacitive loads. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6001UT-E/OT | Lower GBW (1 MHz), no shutdown pin, 100-µA ICC, same SC-70-6 package. | Lacks active shutdown; unsuitable for duty-cycled battery monitoring where nanoampere standby is required. | Select when shutdown is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs feature parity. |
| TSV911ICT | Higher GBW (8 MHz), 160-µA ICC, rail-to-rail I/O, SC-70-6, but no shutdown function. | Excess bandwidth and current draw reduce efficiency in ultra-low-power sensor nodes. | Prefer for higher-speed signal paths where 1.4-MHz GBW is limiting, accepting higher quiescent power. |
Compared with MCP6001UT-E/OT and TSV911ICT, the LMV981IDCKR uniquely combines shutdown capability, 1.4-MHz bandwidth, and sub-100-µA operation in SC-70 - making it optimal for energy-constrained, intermittently active measurement systems requiring precise low-voltage signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMV981IDCKR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV981IDCKR is 5.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.8 V to 5 V. Operation at 5.5 V exceeds specification limits and may compromise reliability or parametric performance. All electrical characteristics in the datasheet are validated between 1.8 V and 5 V, with optimal rail-to-rail output swing and 1.4-MHz gain bandwidth confirmed across this range. LMV981IDCKR must not be operated continuously above 5.5 V.
Does LMV981IDCKR support true rail-to-rail input at 1.8 V?
Yes, LMV981IDCKR supports true rail-to-rail input at 1.8 V, with a common-mode input voltage range specified from VCC− − 0.2 V to VCC+ + 0.2 V. At 1.8 V supply, this means inputs can extend from −0.2 V to +2.0 V - 200 mV beyond both rails - enabling direct interfacing with transducers whose outputs swing below ground or above VCC. This is verified in the datasheet's VICR specifications under 1.8-V conditions.
What is the typical output swing of LMV981IDCKR into a 600-Ω load at 1.8 V?
At 1.8 V supply and 25°C, LMV981IDCKR delivers a typical output swing of 0.077 V to 1.72 V into a 600-Ω load - i.e., within 77 mV of the lower rail and 80 mV of the upper rail. This rail-to-rail capability is maintained across the full −40°C to 125°C temperature range, with worst-case swing degrading to 0.12 V low and 1.63 V high. These values are measured with VIC = 0.5 V and RL = 600 Ω to 0.9 V, per the SLOS440H datasheet.
How does the shutdown function behave on LMV981IDCKR?
The LMV981IDCKR shutdown pin (SHDN) is active-high: pulling it ≥1.0 V (at 1.8 V supply) enables normal operation, while pulling it <0.55 V disables the amplifier and reduces supply current to 0.156 µA typical. Turn-on time from shutdown is 8.4 µs at 5 V, 12.5 µs at 2.7 V, and 19 µs at 1.8 V. The SHDN pin has no internal pull-up; external logic or microcontroller GPIO must drive it directly.
Is LMV981IDCKR qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LMV981IDCKR is characterized for operation from −40°C to +125°C and is widely used in automotive cabin sensor modules, including HVAC occupancy detection and battery monitoring. While not AEC-Q200 certified as a discrete passive, its temperature rating, robust ESD protection (2000-V HBM), and proven reliability in TI's automotive-grade process make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems. Designers should validate against specific vehicle OEM requirements.
