Product details
Overview
MP8103DK-LF-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a dual rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power, single-supply operation from 1.8V to 5.5V. It delivers 600 kHz –3 dB bandwidth, 14 µA supply current per amplifier, and rail-to-rail output swing while supporting input common-mode voltage down to ground. It is used in battery-powered smoke detectors and portable medical sensors where sub-2V operation and microamp quiescent current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MP8103DK-LF-P datasheet, MP8103DK-LF-P pinout, MP8103DK-LF-P application, or MP8103DK-LF-P equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 600 kHz bandwidth at 14 µA, input common-mode range extending to V–, ±0.9V dual-supply compatibility, and MSOP8 thermal resistance (θJA = 150°C/W) for compact low-power signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The MP8103DK-LF-P integrates two independent high-impedance, unity-gain-stable op-amps with matched input bias currents (2 pA typ.) and offset voltage (±5 mV max). Its architecture supports capacitive loads up to 1000 pF without oscillation and maintains stability across supply voltages from 1.8V to 5.5V.
It features rail-to-rail output stage design enabling full-swing operation into 10 kΩ loads (VOUT = V+ – 23 mV / V– + 19 mV), and achieves 0.1 V/µs slew rate with 82 dB CMRR and 80 dB PSRR at DC - critical for precision analog front-ends in energy-constrained systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion, coin-cell, and 3.3V logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 14 µA per amplifier - allows continuous sensor signal amplification in multi-year battery-operated devices. |
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 600 kHz - supports audio-band and low-speed sensor signal conditioning (e.g., ECG, gas sensing). |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±5 mV max - ensures <1% gain error in 100 mV full-scale sensor interfaces without trimming. |
| Slew Rate | 0.1 V/µs - sufficient for 100 Hz sine wave output at 1 VPP with <0.1% distortion. |
| Input Bias Current | 2 pA typ. - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance pH or photodiode transimpedance networks. |
| Common-Mode Range | 0 V to 3.8 V - permits direct connection to ground-referenced sensors and single-ended ADC drivers. |
Pinout & Package
MP8103DK-LF-P is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package (3 mm × 5 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked by half-circle indentation per JEDEC MO-187 AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Output of first op-amp - drives external load or feedback network; rail-to-rail capable. |
| 2 | IN1– | Inverting input of first op-amp - accepts feedback or differential signal; 2 pA bias current. |
| 3 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input of first op-amp - connects to sensor or reference; supports V–-to-V+–1.2V common-mode. |
| 4 | V– | Ground or negative supply terminal - shared return path for both amplifiers; must be low-impedance. |
| 5 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input of second op-amp - independent channel for dual-sensor or filter stage. |
| 6 | IN2– | Inverting input of second op-amp - matches IN1– electrical characteristics for matched gain stages. |
| 7 | OUT2 | Output of second op-amp - electrically isolated from OUT1; same drive capability and swing limits. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts 1.8V–5.5V; bypassing with 10 µF || 0.1 µF ceramic required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 19 mV of V– and 23 mV of V+ at 10 kΩ load - preserves dynamic range in low-voltage ADC interfaces. |
| Unity-gain stable | No external compensation required for gain ≥1 configurations - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. |
| Capacitive load drive | Stable with up to 1000 pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors in LCD bias or piezo driver applications. |
| Input common-mode to ground | Operates with inputs at 0 V (V–) - enables direct connection to grounded thermistors or bridge sensors. |
| Low temperature drift | 15 µV/°C input offset drift - limits drift-induced error to <0.15 mV over –40°C to +85°C industrial range. |
Applications
| Smoke Detector Signal Conditioning | Portable ECG Front-End |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP8102DK-LF-Z | Same die, updated revision with improved ESD rating (HBM 2 kV vs. 1.5 kV); identical electrical specs. | Preferred for new designs requiring higher robustness in handling-sensitive environments. | Select MP8102DK-LF-Z for all new designs; MP8103DK-LF-P is not recommended for new designs per MPS documentation. |
| MCP6002-E/SN | Higher supply current (1 µA vs. 14 µA), wider bandwidth (1 MHz), but no input common-mode to ground (V– + 0.3 V min). | Better for higher-speed, non-grounded sensor interfaces where power budget allows >70× higher IQ. | Choose MCP6002-E/SN only if bandwidth >600 kHz is required and input cannot go below V– + 0.3 V. |
Compared with MP8102DK-LF-Z, MP8103DK-LF-P lacks updated ESD protection and is deprecated; compared with MCP6002-E/SN, it trades bandwidth for 70× lower quiescent current and true ground-sensing capability - making it irreplaceable in sub-2V, ground-referenced, multi-year battery applications.

FAQ
Is MP8103DK-LF-P RoHS compliant?
Yes. The "-LF" suffix indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating on leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) requirements.
Can MP8103DK-LF-P operate from a 1.8V single supply?
Yes. The datasheet specifies guaranteed operation from 1.8V to 5.5V single supply, including full rail-to-rail output swing and 600 kHz bandwidth at 1.8V. Input common-mode range extends to V– (0 V), enabling direct interfacing with grounded sensors.
What is the maximum capacitive load MP8103DK-LF-P can drive stably?
The device is characterized to drive up to 1000 pF capacitively without requiring external isolation resistors or compensation. This is verified in the datasheet's "Capacitive Load Drive" section and confirmed in Figure 6's phase margin plots with CL = 1000 pF.
Why is MP8103DK-LF-P marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
MPS explicitly states this in the datasheet header and footers due to the introduction of the MP8102 - a functionally identical but ESD-enhanced (HBM 2 kV) revision. MP8102DK-LF-Z replaces MP8103DK-LF-P for all new designs, though MP8103 remains fully supported for legacy production.
Does MP8103DK-LF-P require external compensation for unity-gain configuration?
No. The amplifier is unity-gain stable per datasheet Feature list and Figure 1's unity-gain frequency response plot. No external compensation capacitor or resistor is needed when configured as a voltage follower or non-inverting amplifier with gain = 1.
What is the thermal resistance θJA for MP8103DK-LF-P in MSOP8?
The datasheet specifies θJA = 150°C/W for the MSOP8 package under standard JEDEC test conditions (1-inch² 1 oz copper pad). This value assumes proper PCB layout with thermal vias to inner ground planes for production-level thermal performance.
How does input offset voltage drift affect long-term accuracy?
With a typical drift of 15 µV/°C, total offset variation over the full –40°C to +85°C range is ≤1.875 mV. At 5 mV max initial VOS, worst-case total offset remains ≤6.875 mV - acceptable for 12-bit ADC systems with ≥2 V full-scale range.
