Product details
Overview
LMV981MGX/NOPB 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 the rails into 600 Ω - ideal for battery monitoring and portable audio signal conditioning in space-constrained wearable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMV981MGX/NOPB datasheet, LMV981MGX/NOPB pinout, LMV981MGX/NOPB application, or LMV981MGX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8-V minimum supply, shutdown-enabled ultra-low power mode (0.156 µA), rail-to-rail input beyond rails (±0.2 V), and DSBGA-6 package footprint (1.006 mm × 1.514 mm) for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMV981MGX/NOPB implements a CMOS input stage enabling rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 200 mV beyond both supply rails, and an output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4 mA while maintaining <105-mV rail proximity at 1.8 V with 600-Ω load. Its 1.4-MHz GBW and 0.35-V/µs slew rate support stable unity-gain buffering and low-frequency sensor amplification.
Shutdown functionality is controlled by a dedicated SHDN pin: device enters high-impedance output state and draws ≤1 µA when pin voltage falls below 0.55 V (1.8 V supply) or 0.8 V (2.7/5 V supplies); turnon time is 19 µs at 1.8 V, 12.5 µs at 2.7 V, and 8.4 µs at 5 V - enabling rapid power cycling in duty-cycled sensing nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5 V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V), or 1.8-V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1.4 MHz - enables stable AC-coupled audio preamplification and DC-stable sensor signal conditioning up to ~100 kHz with gain ≤14. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 4 mV at 25°C - ensures ≤0.8% error in 200-mV full-scale battery voltage monitoring at room temperature. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 103 µA typical at 1.8 V - allows >1-year operation on a 100-mAh coin cell in always-on wearables with 1-kHz sampling. |
| Supply Current (Shutdown) | 0.156 µA typical at 1.8 V - reduces quiescent drain to sub-nA levels during deep sleep, critical for multi-year IoT endpoint battery life. |
| Output Swing (600 Ω) | Within 80 mV of rails at 1.8 V - preserves >95% dynamic range for 12-bit ADC interfacing with minimal headroom loss. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V− −0.2 V to V+ +0.2 V - permits direct sensing of signals below ground or above supply (e.g., shunt-based current monitoring). |
Pinout & Package
LMV981MGX/NOPB is packaged in a 6-pin DSBGA (YZR) with 0.4-mm pitch, body size 1.006 mm × 1.514 mm × 0.945 mm - optimized for ultra-thin wearable PCBs where height and area are constrained.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN (C1) | Noninverting input | High-impedance CMOS node accepting signals from sensors, DACs, or resistive dividers without loading. |
| −IN (C2) | Inverting input | Accepts feedback network or inverted signal path; matched to +IN for precision differential gain configurations. |
| OUT (A2) | Amplifier output | Capable of driving 600-Ω loads and up to 1000-pF capacitive loads with minimal ringing - suitable for direct ADC input or filter interface. |
| SHDN (B1) | Shutdown control input | Active-high logic: device enabled when ≥1.0 V (1.8 V supply); output goes high-impedance and supply current drops to ≤1 µA when low. |
| V+ (A1) | Positive supply | Maximum 5.5 V absolute rating; accepts 1.8/2.7/5-V supplies; decoupling capacitor required within 2 mm for stability. |
| V− (B2) | Negative supply / ground | Supports single-supply (0 V) or split-supply (e.g., ±0.9 V) operation; must be low-impedance reference for rail-to-rail performance. |
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; 100-µA supply current; 1-MHz GBW; same SOT-23-5 package but different pinout. | Lacks active power gating - unsuitable for duty-cycled sensing; requires external enable circuitry for low-power modes. | Select when shutdown functionality is unnecessary and board layout rework for pinout change is acceptable. |
| TLV9001IDBVR | Includes shutdown; 60-µA supply current; 1-MHz GBW; SC70-6 package; lower VOS (1.6 mV max) but reduced output drive (5 mA). | Better DC precision and lower power, but insufficient output swing margin for 600-Ω loads at 1.8 V (min 100 mV from rail). | Select when ultra-low power dominates over load drive strength, and 2-kΩ minimum load is guaranteed in the system. |
Compared with MCP6001T-E/OT and TLV9001IDBVR, LMV981MGX/NOPB uniquely balances shutdown control, 600-Ω drive capability at 1.8 V, and rail-to-rail input beyond rails - making it the only option among the three that meets all requirements for battery-powered shunt-monitoring and wearable biosensor front-ends without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating supply voltage for LMV981MGX/NOPB?
The LMV981MGX/NOPB is fully specified and guaranteed to operate down to 1.8 V, with all key parameters - including 1.4-MHz gain bandwidth, 100-µA supply current, and rail-to-rail input/output - validated at this voltage. Operation below 1.8 V is not characterized and may result in degraded performance or functional failure.
Does LMV981MGX/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input, and how far beyond the rails does it extend?
Yes, LMV981MGX/NOPB supports rail-to-rail input with common-mode voltage range extending 200 mV beyond both supply rails (V− −0.2 V to V+ +0.2 V). This enables direct interfacing with signals below ground or above V+, such as current-sense shunt measurements in low-side configurations.
What is the typical output swing of LMV981MGX/NOPB into a 600-Ω load at 1.8-V supply?
At 1.8-V supply and 25°C, LMV981MGX/NOPB delivers output swing within 77–105 mV of each rail into a 600-Ω load - typically 80 mV from rail. This ensures >95% usable dynamic range for 12-bit ADCs operating from the same 1.8-V supply.
How fast does LMV981MGX/NOPB wake up from shutdown mode at 1.8-V supply?
LMV981MGX/NOPB has a typical turnon time of 19 µs from shutdown to full operation at 1.8-V supply. This enables rapid activation in burst-mode sensing applications, such as optical heart-rate monitoring, where microsecond-level latency is acceptable between sleep and acquisition.
Which package variants are available for LMV981MGX/NOPB, and which one corresponds to the /NOPB suffix?
LMV981MGX/NOPB uses the 6-pin DSBGA (YZR) package, measuring 1.006 mm × 1.514 mm × 0.945 mm. The /NOPB suffix denotes lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant packaging - consistent across all LMV981-N orderables, including SC70-6 (DCK) and SOT-23-6 (DBV) variants.
