Product details
Overview
LPV321M5 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, micropower, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage (2.7 V to 5 V), battery-powered applications. It delivers 152 kHz gain-bandwidth product, 9 µA supply current at 5 V, −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, and rail-to-rail output swing (V+ −3.5 mV / V− +90 mV at 100 kΩ load), enabling precision signal conditioning in portable medical sensors and wearable health monitors.
For engineers reviewing the LPV321M5 datasheet, LPV321M5 pinout, LPV321M5 application, or LPV321M5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SC70-5 package footprint, bipolar input stage for low noise, guaranteed 2.7-V operation, input common-mode range extending to −0.2 V, and compatibility with single-supply systems requiring ground-sensing capability.
Technical Context
The LPV321M5 employs a bipolar input and output stage fabricated in Texas Instruments' submicron BiCMOS process, delivering improved noise performance (146 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz, 5 V) and higher output current drive versus CMOS alternatives. Its rail-to-rail output architecture supports full dynamic range utilization in low-voltage systems, while the input common-mode voltage range (−0.2 V to V+ −0.8 V) enables direct sensing near ground in single-supply configurations.
It operates stably under capacitive loads up to 200 pF in unity-gain configuration and exhibits no crossover distortion. The device is specified across industrial temperature range with 1.5 mV typical input offset voltage and 2 µV/°C drift, making it suitable for DC-coupled sensor front-ends where long-term accuracy and low power are critical.

Pinout & Package
LPV321M5 is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm) surface-mount package - approximately half the area of SOT-23-5 - enabling ultra-compact layouts in space-constrained portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN+ | Noninverting input | Accepts high-impedance sensor signals; supports ground-referenced inputs down to −0.2 V. |
| 2: V− | Negative supply terminal | Connects to system ground in single-supply operation; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 3: IN− | Inverting input | Used for feedback network connection; balanced resistor values minimize bias-current-induced offset. |
| 4: OUT | Amplifier output | Drives 100 kΩ loads with rail-to-rail swing; limited sourcing/sinking current (2–60 mA) constrains heavy capacitive loading. |
| 5: V+ | Positive supply terminal | Accepts 2.7–5 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to suppress supply noise and ensure stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No crossover distortion | Enables clean, linear amplification of low-amplitude AC signals (e.g., ECG, audio preamp) without harmonic artifacts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6001T-E/OT | CMOS input (0.1 pA IB), lower supply current (900 nA), but 100 kHz GBWP and no guaranteed −40°C operation. | Better for ultra-low IB apps (high-Z pH sensors); unsuitable for wide-temp industrial use or bandwidth-sensitive filters. | Select MCP6001T-E/OT only when femtoampere input bias is mandatory and temperature range is limited to 0°C–70°C. |
| TSV611ICT | RRIO, 160 kHz GBWP, 12 µA supply current, AEC-Q100 qualified, but only specified down to −40°C with derated parameters. | Automotive-qualified alternative; higher supply current reduces battery life in portable devices. | Choose TSV611ICT for automotive cabin modules requiring AEC-Q100; avoid for consumer wearables due to 33% higher quiescent power. |
Compared with MCP6001T-E/OT and TSV611ICT, LPV321M5 uniquely balances micropower (9 µA), industrial temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C), and 152 kHz bandwidth in a 2.0 × 1.25 mm SC70 package - making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, battery-powered sensor nodes requiring guaranteed performance across full industrial range.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LPV321M5 can drive without oscillation?
The LPV321M5 is characterized to drive up to 200 pF in unity-gain follower configuration without instability. This applies to direct capacitive loading on the output pin. For loads exceeding 200 pF - such as LCD panel drivers or long PCB traces - external isolation resistors (e.g., 100 Ω–1 kΩ) or compensated feedback networks per Figure 37 in the LPV321-N datasheet are required to maintain phase margin. LPV321M5 does not integrate internal compensation for heavy capacitive loads.
Does the LPV321M5 support true rail-to-rail input operation?
No, the LPV321M5 features rail-to-rail *output* swing but not rail-to-rail *input*. Its input common-mode voltage range is specified from −0.2 V to V+ −0.8 V, meaning it accepts inputs down to 0.2 V below ground (enabling ground-sensing) but cannot accept signals within 0.8 V of the positive rail. This differs from true RRIO op-amps like the TLV9001. LPV321M5's input stage is bipolar, optimizing noise and output drive rather than full input range.
What is the typical input bias current of the LPV321M5 and how does it affect circuit design?
The LPV321M5 has a typical input bias current of 1.7 nA at 2.7 V and 2 nA at 5 V, with a maximum of 50 nA over temperature. Because it uses a bipolar input stage, this bias current flows *into* both inputs. To minimize offset voltage errors, designers must balance source impedances at IN+ and IN− - for example, placing a resistor equal to the parallel combination of feedback and gain-setting resistors in the IN+ path. LPV321M5's bias current is significantly higher than CMOS op-amps but enables better noise and output drive performance.
Is the LPV321M5 pin-compatible with other members of the LPV3xx-N family?
No, the LPV321M5 (single-channel, SC70-5) is not pin-compatible with LPV358-N (dual, SOIC-8/VSSOP-8) or LPV324-N (quad, SOIC-14/TSSOP-14). While all share identical electrical specifications and functional behavior per channel, their pinouts and package footprints differ entirely. The LPV321M5's 5-pin SC70 layout (IN+, V−, IN−, OUT, V+) is unique to the single-channel variant and requires dedicated PCB layout - no shared land patterns exist across the LPV3xx-N family.
Can the LPV321M5 operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
No, the LPV321M5 is not specified or guaranteed for operation below 2.7 V. Its absolute maximum supply voltage is 5.5 V, and recommended operating conditions explicitly define 2.7 V to 5 V. Attempting to power LPV321M5 from 1.8 V will result in undefined behavior, including loss of rail-to-rail output swing, degraded GBWP (<50 kHz), increased input offset, and potential failure to amplify. For 1.8-V systems, consider TI's TLV8801 or Microchip's MCP6001, which are rated down to 1.4 V.
