Product details
Overview
LPV801DBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel nanopower operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-power sensing in battery-operated gas detectors, PIR motion sensors, and IoT remote nodes. It delivers 320 nA typical supply current per channel, 3.5 mV maximum offset voltage, 8 kHz unity-gain bandwidth, rail-to-rail output swing within 3.5 mV of rails at 1.8 V, and operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V.
For engineers reviewing the LPV801DBVR datasheet, LPV801DBVR pinout, LPV801DBVR application, or LPV801DBVR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation insights, and two confirmed alternative options for nanopower sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LPV801DBVR features a CMOS input stage with 0.1 pA typical input bias current and negative-rail-sensing capability-its common-mode input range extends to V−, enabling true single-supply operation in low-voltage electrochemical sensor front-ends. Its rail-to-rail output stage maintains >99% dynamic range at 1.8 V supply, critical for maximizing ADC resolution in energy-constrained systems.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, the device achieves 8 kHz gain-bandwidth with only 320 nA quiescent current. EMI protection is integrated to suppress interference from RF sources (e.g., WiFi, mobile phones), making it suitable for unshielded industrial and consumer sensor modules without external filtering overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 450 nA typical per channel - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered CO detectors with periodic wake-up sampling. |
| Offset Voltage | 3.5 mV max - ensures sub-10 ppm measurement accuracy in electrochemical gas sensors with 10 kΩ feedback resistors. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 8 kHz - supports fast transient response in PIR motion detection while maintaining nanopower operation. |
| Input Bias Current | 0.1 pA typical - eliminates leakage-induced error in high-impedance pH or ion-selective electrode interfaces. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings within 3.5 mV of V+ and V− at 1.8 V/100 kΩ - preserves full-scale ADC utilization in 1.8 V microcontroller systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for thermostat and automotive cabin air quality monitoring applications. |
| EMI Protection | Integrated circuit-level hardening - reduces need for external ferrites or shielded enclosures in portable medical sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LPV801DBVR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in wearable and node-level sensor designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Output | Amplified differential signal output; drives transimpedance stage or ADC input with millivolt-level headroom near supply rails. |
| 2 - V− | Negative power supply | Reference ground for single-supply operation; common-mode input extends to this pin, enabling true 0-V sensing. |
| 3 - +IN | Non-inverting input | High-impedance node for reference electrode (RE) connection in potentiostat circuits or sensor bias monitoring. |
| 4 - −IN | Inverting input | Connects to counter electrode (CE) or feedback network; accepts femtoamp-level currents without significant error. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPV811DBVR | Lower 370 µV max offset voltage; higher 450 nA typical supply current; same SOT-23-5 package. | Better DC accuracy for precision gas calibration; slightly reduced battery life in long-duration deployments. | Select LPV811DBVR when offset-limited error dominates system budget and 100 nA extra quiescent current is acceptable. |
| TLV8811IDBVR | 350 nA typical supply current; 1.2 mV max offset; 6 kHz GBW; same SOT-23-5 footprint. | Higher speed margin for faster sensor response; lower offset than LPV801DBVR but not as low as LPV811DBVR. | Choose TLV8811IDBVR when balancing speed, power, and offset in cost-sensitive PIR or medical patch designs. |
Compared with LPV801DBVR, LPV811DBVR trades 100 nA higher quiescent current for 10× lower offset-ideal for calibration-critical gas sensors-while TLV8811IDBVR offers better speed/power ratio for motion-triggered wake-up systems where moderate DC accuracy suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LPV801DBVR?
The LPV801DBVR supports a maximum supply voltage of 6 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. However, its recommended operating range is 1.6 V to 5.5 V. Operating above 5.5 V risks reliability degradation and is not supported for functional use-designs should stay within the recommended range to ensure guaranteed performance, including 3.5 mV max offset and 320 nA quiescent current behavior.
Does LPV801DBVR support rail-to-rail input?
No, LPV801DBVR does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from V− to (V+) – 0.9 V. This negative-rail-sensing capability enables true single-supply operation down to 0 V on the input, but the upper limit is 0.9 V below V+. For example, at 1.8 V supply, the usable input range is 0 V to 0.9 V-critical for potentiostat biasing where the reference electrode must remain near ground.
Can LPV801DBVR drive a 1000 pF capacitive load directly?
No, LPV801DBVR is not designed to drive >50 pF capacitive loads directly. Driving heavy capacitance without isolation causes phase-margin loss and potential oscillation. The datasheet recommends adding a 30–50 kΩ isolation resistor (RISO) between the LPV801DBVR output and the capacitive load. This preserves stability while allowing use with ADC input filters or long PCB traces-verified in Figure 37 of the LPV801DBVR datasheet.
Is LPV801DBVR suitable for thermistor-based temperature sensing?
Yes, LPV801DBVR is well-suited for thermistor interfaces, especially in battery-powered thermostats. Its 0.1 pA input bias current prevents significant self-heating error in high-value thermistor bridges (e.g., 10 kΩ–100 kΩ), and its 3.5 mV max offset contributes less than ±0.5°C error in typical 10-bit ADC configurations. Combined with 1 µV/°C TCVos, it maintains accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient ranges.
What is the open-loop gain of LPV801DBVR and how does it affect precision?
LPV801DBVR has a minimum open-loop gain of 120 dB (1,000,000 V/V) at 25°C. This high gain ensures low closed-loop gain error-even with 100 kΩ feedback networks-and supports stable operation in precision transimpedance configurations. At elevated temperatures or low supply voltages, gain decreases slightly, but remains >100 dB across the full operating range, preserving <0.01% gain linearity in gas sensor signal chains.
