Product details
Overview
LMV981MG from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for 1.8-V operation, delivering 1.4-MHz gain bandwidth, 100-µA supply current per channel, and output swing within 80 mV of rails into 600-Ω load - enabling precision signal conditioning in space-constrained, battery-powered systems such as wearable health monitors and portable audio interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LMV981MG datasheet, LMV981MG pinout, LMV981MG application, or LMV981MG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8-V minimum supply, shutdown functionality with 19-µs turnon time, −40°C to 125°C operating range, and compatibility with DSBGA/SC70/SOT-23 packages - critical for low-power analog front-end design in Li-ion–powered devices.
Technical Context
The LMV981MG implements a CMOS input stage enabling rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range extending 200 mV beyond supplies (V− −0.2 V to V+ +0.2 V), paired with a robust output stage capable of driving 600-Ω loads and up to 1000-pF capacitive loads with minimal ringing. Its architecture supports stable unity-gain operation across 1.8–5-V supply range.
Shutdown control is active-low on the SHDN pin, placing the output in high-impedance state and reducing quiescent current to ≤1 µA. The device exhibits 101-dB DC open-loop gain and 60-dB minimum CMRR over extended temperature, ensuring accuracy in low-frequency sensor amplification and supply monitoring circuits.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LMV981MG is available in SC70-6 (DCK) package: 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm footprint, 0.95-mm height, 0.65-mm pitch. Pinout matches industry-standard SC70-6 configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN | Noninverting input | High-impedance (≥1012 Ω) node accepting signals from resistive sensors or filtered transducer outputs. |
| −IN | Inverting input | Feedback node for configuring gain, filtering, or current-to-voltage conversion with precision resistors. |
| OUT | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4 mA into 600-Ω load while maintaining rail-to-rail swing - drives ADC inputs or small speakers directly. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled high to V+ to enable; driven low (<0.55 V at 1.8 V) to reduce supply current to ≤1 µA and isolate output. |
| V+ | Positive supply | Accepts 1.8–5 V; must be decoupled with ≥0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed <1 mm from pin to minimize noise coupling. |
| V− | Negative supply / ground | Connected to system ground in single-supply configurations; supports split-supply operation down to −2.5 V. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6001T-E/OT | No shutdown pin; 1-µA lower supply current but 1-MHz GBW; 2-mV max VOS at 25°C. | Lacks active power gating - unsuitable for duty-cycled sensing; better for always-on ultra-low-power biasing. | Select when shutdown is unnecessary and 1-MHz bandwidth suffices; verify stability with target capacitive load. |
| TLV9001IDBVR | Higher 100-µA supply current; 1-MHz GBW; includes EMI-hardened input; 0.75-mV max VOS. | Superior noise immunity in noisy industrial environments; tighter offset improves DC accuracy in precision bridges. | Prefer for EMI-prone applications (e.g., motor-driven wearables); confirm layout adherence to TI's EMI mitigation guidelines. |
Compared with MCP6001T-E/OT and TLV9001IDBVR, LMV981MG uniquely balances shutdown capability, 1.4-MHz bandwidth, and rail-to-rail I/O at 1.8 V - making it optimal for battery-constrained systems requiring both fast wake-up and wide dynamic range.

FAQ
What supply voltage range does the LMV981MG support?
The LMV981MG operates from 1.8 V to 5 V, with guaranteed specifications at 1.8 V, 2.7 V, and 5 V. This makes it compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V), and regulated 3.3-V or 5-V systems. Absolute maximum supply is 5.5 V, and operation below 1.8 V is not characterized or supported.
Does the LMV981MG have rail-to-rail input and output capability?
Yes, the LMV981MG features true rail-to-rail input and output. Its input common-mode voltage extends 200 mV beyond both supply rails (V− −0.2 V to V+ +0.2 V), and its output swings within 80 mV of each rail into a 600-Ω load at 1.8 V - delivering >95% of full-scale dynamic range in low-voltage applications.
How does the shutdown function work on the LMV981MG?
The LMV981MG uses an active-low SHDN pin: pulling it below 0.55 V (at 1.8 V supply) disables the amplifier, reducing supply current to ≤1 µA and placing the output in high-impedance state. Pulling SHDN ≥1 V enables normal operation. Turnon time from shutdown is 19 µs at 1.8 V, supporting rapid signal acquisition in burst-mode systems.
What package options are available for the LMV981MG?
The LMV981MG is offered in SC70-6 (DCK) package: 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size, 0.65-mm lead pitch, and 0.95-mm maximum height. It shares pinout compatibility with other SC70-6 op-amps, simplifying board reuse. DSBGA and SOT-23 variants exist under different part numbers (e.g., LMV981YZR, LMV981DBVR), but LMV981MG specifically denotes the SC70-6 variant.
What is the typical input offset voltage and drift of the LMV981MG?
The LMV981MG has a maximum input offset voltage of 4 mV at 25°C and 6 mV over −40°C to 125°C. Its typical offset voltage drift is 5.5 µV/°C - meaning total drift over a 100°C span adds ≤0.55 mV, preserving accuracy in temperature-varying environments like automotive cabins or outdoor wearables.
