Product details
Overview
PLPV812DGKT from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel nanopower precision operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-power sensor signal conditioning in battery-critical systems. It delivers 425 nA per channel supply current, 300 µV maximum offset voltage, 1 µV/°C offset drift, 8 kHz gain-bandwidth, and rail-to-rail output swing within 3.5 mV of rails - enabling high-accuracy amplification in CO gas detectors and IoT remote sensors.
For engineers reviewing the PLPV812DGKT datasheet, PLPV812DGKT pinout, PLPV812DGKT application, or PLPV812DGKT equivalent, key selection considerations include its VSSOP-8 package, negative-rail-sensing input stage, femtoamp-level input bias current (100 fA), wide 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply range, and EMI-hardened architecture for reliable operation in wireless sensing nodes.
Technical Context
The PLPV812DGKT integrates two independent CMOS-input op-amps with trimmed input offset and low-drift design, supporting single-supply operation down to 1.6 V. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail (V−), and its rail-to-rail output stage maintains >99% dynamic range at 1.8 V supply.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, the device features EMI protection circuitry to suppress interference from mobile radios and RFID readers. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and exhibits 77–98 dB CMRR depending on channel and condition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 425 nA per channel - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Offset Voltage | ≤300 µV max - ensures <±0.3 mV error in 10 mV full-scale gas sensor outputs |
| Offset Drift | ±1 µV/°C - limits thermal-induced error to <0.1 mV over 85°C industrial temperature span |
| Gain-Bandwidth | 8 kHz - supports DC to low-frequency sensor signals (e.g., CO diffusion response) |
| Input Bias Current | 100 fA - preserves signal integrity with high-impedance sources (>10 GΩ) |
| Common-Mode Range | V− to (V+ − 0.9 V) - enables direct interfacing to grounded-referenced electrochemical sensors |
| Output Swing | Within 3.5 mV of rails at 1.8 V - maximizes usable ADC input range in low-voltage systems |
Pinout & Package
PLPV812DGKT is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT A | Channel A output | Drives external load or feedback network; rail-to-rail swing supports full supply utilization |
| –IN A | Channel A inverting input | Accepts feedback signal in transimpedance or inverting configurations |
| +IN A | Channel A non-inverting input | Connects to reference electrode or high-impedance sensor node |
| V− | Negative power supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; input common-mode extends to this rail |
| +IN B | Channel B non-inverting input | Independent input for second sensor channel or reference buffer |
| –IN B | Channel B inverting input | Supports dual-sensor differential measurement or independent signal path |
| OUT B | Channel B output | Provides second isolated analog output without cross-talk |
| V+ | Positive power supply | Accepts 1.6–5.5 V; internal regulation enables stable performance across battery discharge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPV821DRXT | Single-channel, SOT-23-5, 450 nA IQ, 370 µV VOS max | Lacks dual-channel integration; requires two devices for stereo/dual-sensor use | Select when board space allows discrete channel routing and single-channel functionality suffices |
| TLV8812IDGKR | Dual-channel, VSSOP-8, 350 nA IQ, 500 µV VOS max, 6 kHz GBW | Lower IQ but higher offset and reduced bandwidth; no EMI hardening | Prefer for cost-sensitive, lower-precision applications where RF immunity is not required |
Compared with LPV812DGKT, LPV821DRXT offers identical precision but lacks channel integration, increasing layout complexity and component count; TLV8812IDGKR trades offset accuracy and EMI robustness for marginal IQ reduction - making PLPV812DGKT optimal for high-reliability, low-drift, RF-noisy environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PLPV812DGKT?
The PLPV812DGKT is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C. This extended temperature range supports deployment in harsh environments such as industrial enclosures, automotive under-hood modules, and sterilizable medical wearables - all while maintaining specified offset voltage, drift, and supply current performance.
Does PLPV812DGKT support single-supply operation below 2.0 V?
Yes, PLPV812DGKT operates reliably from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V supply, it delivers full rail-to-rail output swing (within 3.5 mV of rails), 425 nA per channel quiescent current, and 300 µV max offset - making it ideal for systems powered by partially discharged lithium coin cells or thin-film batteries.
Can PLPV812DGKT drive capacitive loads directly?
No - PLPV812DGKT is unity-gain stable but sensitive to capacitive loads >50 pF. For loads exceeding this threshold, a 30–50 kΩ isolation resistor (RISO) must be placed between the output and the capacitor to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking or oscillation, as documented in TI's SNOSD33B datasheet Figure 45.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of PLPV812DGKT?
The input common-mode voltage range of PLPV812DGKT extends from V− to (V+ − 0.9 V). This negative-rail-sensing capability allows direct connection to grounded-referenced sensors (e.g., electrochemical gas cells) without level-shifting circuitry - simplifying design and reducing component count in single-supply systems.
Is PLPV812DGKT pin-compatible with other VSSOP-8 op-amps?
PLPV812DGKT uses a non-standard pinout optimized for dual-channel independence: pins 1–4 serve Channel A and V−, while pins 5–8 serve Channel B and V+. It is not pin-compatible with generic dual op-amps like LMV358 or TLV2372 - PCB layout must follow the DGK package mapping in SNOSD33B Section 5.
