Product details
Overview
MP8101DJ-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a rail-to-rail output, ultra-low-power operational amplifier in TSOT-23-5 package, delivering 400kHz gain-bandwidth product, 11µA supply current, and 1.8V to 5.5V single-supply operation. It serves as a precision signal conditioning amplifier in battery-powered portable electronics requiring minimal quiescent power and ground-sensing capability.
For engineers reviewing the MP8101DJ-LF-Z datasheet, MP8101DJ-LF-Z pinout, MP8101DJ-LF-Z application, or MP8101DJ-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output swing (V– +19mV / V+ –23mV), input common-mode range extending to ground, 2pA input bias current, and capacitive load drive capability up to 1000pF.
Technical Context
The MP8101DJ-LF-Z employs a CMOS input stage enabling 2pA input bias current and rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to ground. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports direct use in buffer, comparator hysteresis, and sensor interface configurations without external compensation.
It achieves 400kHz gain-bandwidth with only 11µA supply current by optimizing transconductance and output stage efficiency-enabling continuous operation in energy-constrained systems where thermal dissipation and battery life are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V single supply - enables direct integration with Li-ion, coin-cell, and low-voltage MCU I/O domains |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 400kHz - supports DC-coupled sensor amplification and low-frequency filtering up to ~300kHz |
| Supply Current | 11µA typical - extends battery life in always-on wearable or remote sensor nodes |
| Input Bias Current | 2pA - minimizes voltage error in high-impedance pH, thermistor, or photodiode front-ends |
| Output Swing | V– +19mV / V+ –23mV into 10kΩ - delivers full dynamic range across 1.8V rails for ADC input buffering |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Up to 1000pF - allows direct connection to long PCB traces or EMI-filtered inputs without instability |
| Input Common-Mode Range | 0V to V+ –1.2V - supports ground-referenced single-ended sensors without level-shifting circuitry |
Pinout & Package
TSOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm pitch, exposed pad optional per manufacturer layout guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking 20mA - drives ADC reference buffers or LED bias networks |
| 2 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - requires local 0.1µF + 10µF bypassing for noise-sensitive analog paths |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input with 2pA bias current - interfaces directly with high-Z resistive sensors |
| 4 | IN− | Inverting input with matched 2pA bias current - enables precision differential sensing with <5mV offset |
| 5 | V− | Ground or negative supply return - must be low-impedance path to minimize PSRR degradation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers >98% of 1.8V supply range to downstream ADCs or comparators without headroom loss |
| Input common-mode to ground | Enables direct connection of single-ended 0V-referenced sources (e.g., thermistors, potentiometers) |
| Unity-gain stability | Operates reliably as voltage follower without external compensation components or phase margin tuning |
| Low input offset drift | 15µV/°C - maintains <0.1% gain error over –40°C to +85°C in temperature-variable sensor chains |
| High PSRR (80dB) | Rejects supply ripple from noisy DC-DC converters, preserving signal integrity in mixed-signal SoC environments |

FAQ
Is MP8101DJ-LF-Z pin-compatible with MP8104DJ-LF-Z?
Yes, MP8101DJ-LF-Z and MP8104DJ-LF-Z share identical TSOT-23-5 pinout and footprint. Both use pins 1–5 for OUT, V+, IN+, IN−, and V− respectively, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts where bandwidth requirements permit.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MP8101DJ-LF-Z can drive stably?
The MP8101DJ-LF-Z is characterized to drive up to 1000pF capacitive loads without oscillation or phase margin degradation. This specification is verified under unity-gain configuration with 10kΩ series resistance, supporting direct connection to EMI filters or long PCB traces.
Does MP8101DJ-LF-Z support dual-supply operation?
No, MP8101DJ-LF-Z is specified for single-supply operation from 1.8V to 5.5V. Its input common-mode range extends to ground but not below, and it lacks symmetric rail specifications-making it unsuitable for classic ±2.5V or ±5V dual-rail topologies.
How does the 2pA input bias current impact high-impedance sensor interfaces?
A 2pA input bias current introduces <1mV error across 1MΩ source impedance, making MP8101DJ-LF-Z suitable for thermistor, RTD, and photodiode circuits where traditional op amps with nA-level bias would cause significant offset drift or nonlinearity.
Why is MP8101DJ-LF-Z marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
MPS designates MP8101DJ-LF-Z as "Not Recommended for New Designs" because MP8104DJ-LF-Z offers superior power efficiency (1.2µA vs. 11µA) with identical package and pinout. However, MP8101 remains fully supported and available for legacy designs and applications needing its 400kHz bandwidth.
Can MP8101DJ-LF-Z operate from a 1.8V lithium coin cell?
Yes, MP8101DJ-LF-Z is fully specified down to 1.8V supply and draws only 11µA, making it compatible with CR2032 and BR2032 coin cells. Its rail-to-rail output ensures usable dynamic range even as battery voltage declines to 1.9V during discharge.
What thermal derating applies to MP8101DJ-LF-Z in TSOT-23-5 package?
With θJA = 220°C/W, MP8101DJ-LF-Z dissipates ≤110µW at 11µA and 5V, resulting in <25°C junction rise above ambient in still air. No heatsinking is required, but layout should maintain ≥1cm² 1oz copper pour under the exposed pad (if used) for optimal thermal performance.
