Product details
Overview
LPC660IM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a low-power CMOS quad operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from +5 V to +15 V, featuring rail-to-rail output swing, ultra-low input bias current (2 fA), and 120 dB open-loop voltage gain into 100 kΩ load - ideal for high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision analog signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LPC660IM/NOPB datasheet, LPC660IM/NOPB pinout, LPC660IM/NOPB application, or LPC660IM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower consumption (160 μA per amplifier), input common-mode range extending to V−, low offset drift (1.3 μV/°C), and verified stability with ≥5 kΩ loads - critical for long-term integrators, photodiode transimpedance amplifiers, and low-leakage sample-and-hold circuits.
Technical Context
The LPC660IM/NOPB uses a nonstandard topology where the output is taken directly from the integrator stage-enabling rail-to-rail swing without a unity-gain buffer-while embedding dual feed-forward compensation (Cf and Cff) and a push-pull output stage to sustain sourcing/sinking capability up to ±16 mA at V+ = 5 V. Its compound gain path delivers higher sinking gain than typical CMOS op amps, especially above 5 kΩ loads.
Designed for high-impedance applications, it requires guard-ring PCB layout or air-wire input connections to preserve sub-100 fA bias current performance; capacitive load tolerance is enhanced via series output resistors (50–100 Ω) and feedback capacitors (5–10 pF), as instability arises near 500 Ω resistive or unbuffered >100 pF capacitive loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +4.75 V to +15.5 V - supports single-supply operation from 5 V logic rails up to industrial 15 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Bias Current | 2 fA typical - enables femtoampere-level current measurement in photodiode, ion-sensor, or electrometer front-ends. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 10 mV of V− and 60 mV of V+ at RL = 100 kΩ - preserves dynamic range in low-voltage single-supply data acquisition. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 120 dB into 100 kΩ - ensures <0.01% gain error in precision gain stages with ≤100× closed-loop gain. |
| Slew Rate | 0.11 V/μs - sufficient for ≤1 kHz full-power bandwidth in unity-gain buffers driving 100 kΩ loads. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 3 mV max - stable over temperature (1.3 μV/°C drift) for DC-coupled signal chains requiring <10 mV total offset budget. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.01% at 1 kHz - meets audio-grade and precision active-filter linearity requirements with 8 VPP output swing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-pin SOIC (D0014A), 3.9 mm × 8.7 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance node requiring guard ring or air-wire layout to maintain ≤2 fA leakage. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | Same layout sensitivity as Pin 1; referenced to same guard potential for matched bias current rejection. |
| 3 | Output (Amplifier A) | Capable of sourcing/sinking ≥12 mA; add 50–100 Ω series resistor for >100 pF capacitive load stability. |
| 4 | V− (Ground for single-supply) | Reference for input common-mode range down to V−; must be low-impedance to avoid PSRR degradation. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Independent high-Z input; shares guard ring with Pins 1 and 2 when used in multi-amp configurations. |
| 6 | Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Matched to Pin 5 for differential pair use; input resistance >1 TΩ enables ultra-high-Z buffering. |
| 7 | Output (Amplifier B) | Electrically isolated from other outputs; amp-to-amp isolation >130 dB minimizes crosstalk in multi-channel filters. |
| 8 | V+ | Power supply pin; decoupling capacitor (0.1 μF ceramic) required within 5 mm for AC stability. |
| 9 | Output (Amplifier C) | Identical drive strength to Pins 3 and 7; supports independent channel operation without shared thermal coupling. |
| 10 | Inverting Input (Amplifier C) | Layout rules identical to Pins 1 and 6; surface contamination on PCB can dominate 2 fA spec if unguarded. |
| 11 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier C) | Enables three independent high-Z buffers or transimpedance stages on one IC with minimal board area. |
| 12 | Output (Amplifier D) | Final output stage; slew rate and THD match other channels - validated for simultaneous 4-channel active filtering. |
| 13 | Inverting Input (Amplifier D) | Supports fourth independent sensor interface; input common-mode includes V−, enabling ground-referenced inputs. |
| 14 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier D) | Completes quad configuration; all four amplifiers share identical DC/AC specs per datasheet Table 1–3. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2474IDR | Higher supply current (600 μA/amp), no rail-to-rail input, 1.2 mV VOS - better speed (1.5 MHz GBW) but 300× higher bias current (3 pA). | Preferred for higher-bandwidth active filters (>10 kHz) where input impedance >100 MΩ suffices. | Select TLV2474IDR only when bandwidth >500 kHz is required and femtoampere bias current is not critical. |
| LMC660CMX/NOPB | Same architecture and pinout; LMC660 specifies 1.5 mV VOS (vs. 3 mV), 0.5 fA bias current, but only rated for −40°C to +85°C (same as LPC660IM/NOPB). | Drop-in replacement with tighter DC specs; identical SOIC-14 package and layout compatibility. | LMC660CMX/NOPB offers superior offset and bias current for new designs where cost premium is acceptable. |
Compared with TLV2474IDR, LPC660IM/NOPB provides 1500× lower input bias current and rail-to-rail output at 25% of the quiescent power, making it irreplaceable in femtoampere-sensing applications; versus LMC660CMX/NOPB, LPC660IM/NOPB trades 0.5 mV higher VOS for broader military-grade temp option availability and legacy qualification status.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LPC660IM/NOPB can drive without oscillation?
The LPC660IM/NOPB becomes unstable with unbuffered capacitive loads exceeding ~100 pF in unity-gain follower configuration. Stability is restored using a 50–100 Ω series resistor at the output and a 5–10 pF feedback capacitor from inverting input to output. Verified in Figure 26 of the SNOS554D datasheet, this method allows reliable operation with >1 nF loads while maintaining phase margin >50°. The LPC660IM/NOPB itself does not integrate internal compensation for capacitive loading.
Does the LPC660IM/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
No - the LPC660IM/NOPB features rail-to-rail *output* swing but its input common-mode range extends only to V− and up to V+ − 1.9 V (min) at 25°C, as specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table. It fully includes V−, enabling ground-referenced inputs in single-supply systems, but does not accept inputs at V+ or above. This differs from modern RRO (rail-to-rail input/output) op amps like the TLV2474.
Can the LPC660IM/NOPB operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No - the absolute minimum supply voltage for the LPC660IM/NOPB is +4.75 V, and the recommended operating range is +5 V to +15 V per the Operating Ratings table. At 3.3 V, the internal CMOS circuitry fails to bias correctly, resulting in undefined output behavior, loss of rail-to-rail swing, and potential damage if input signals exceed safe operating area limits. Use the TLV2474 or OPA333 for 3.3 V-compatible alternatives.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LPC660IM/NOPB in SOIC package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the LPC660IM/NOPB in 14-pin SOIC package is 115°C/W when soldered directly to a printed circuit board, as documented in the Operating Ratings section of the SNOS554D datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions; actual θJA may vary with copper pour, airflow, and board stack-up. Derating is required above 70°C ambient to maintain TJ ≤ 125°C.
Is the LPC660IM/NOPB pin-compatible with the LMC660 series?
Yes - the LPC660IM/NOPB and LMC660CMX/NOPB share identical 14-pin SOIC package dimensions, pinout, and electrical interface. Both devices implement the same core topology and feature rail-to-rail output, micropower operation, and ultra-low input bias current. The LMC660 offers tighter DC specifications (lower VOS and bias current) but identical functional compatibility, enabling drop-in replacement in existing LPC660IM/NOPB designs.
