Product details
Overview
SM72501MFE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision CMOS-input, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered instrumentation. It delivers ±200 µV max input offset voltage, ±200 fA input bias current, 9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 130 dB CMRR, and operates from 2.7 V to 12 V supply across −40°C to +125°C - enabling accurate signal conditioning in solar monitoring and portable medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the SM72501MFE/NOPB datasheet, SM72501MFE/NOPB pinout, SM72501MFE/NOPB application, or SM72501MFE/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low input bias current for photodiode/strain gauge front-ends, rail-to-rail output swing within 40 mV of rails at 3 V, and guaranteed performance over extended industrial temperature range without derating.
Technical Context
The SM72501MFE/NOPB employs a complementary CMOS input stage trimmed on both NMOS and PMOS sides to suppress CMRR glitches common in rail-to-rail amplifiers, achieving ≥130 dB CMRR across 0 V–5 V common-mode range. Its VIP50 process enables simultaneous CMOS input characteristics and 12 V supply capability - a combination unavailable in standard CMOS op-amps.
It features unity-gain-stable operation with 2.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 1.1 V/µs slew rate (±5 V supply), supporting precision current source topologies (e.g., Figure 46) and DAC buffering where low THD+N (0.02% @ 1 kHz) and high open-loop gain (≥130 dB) preserve dynamic accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | ±200 µV (max) - ensures ≤0.5 mV error in 2.5 V full-scale 12-bit systems without calibration |
| Input Bias Current | ±200 fA (typ) - enables direct connection to >10 GΩ sensors (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoresistive bridges) without signal loss |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - supports single-supply 3.3 V microcontrollers and dual-supply ±5 V instrumentation without level-shifting |
| Output Swing | Within 40 mV of either rail (RL = 10 kΩ, 3 V supply) - maximizes usable dynamic range in low-voltage battery systems |
| CMRR | 130 dB (min) - rejects >3.16 MV/V common-mode interference in noisy industrial environments |
| Input Voltage Noise | 9 nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in 1 kHz–10 kHz sensor bandwidths; lower than most precision JFET op-amps |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and outdoor solar inverter monitoring |
Pinout & Package
SM72501MFE/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (DBV), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and distributed sensor nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN− | Inverting Input | High-impedance CMOS node; differential input voltage limited to ±300 mV by internal ESD diodes |
| 2 - IN+ | Non-inverting Input | High-impedance CMOS node; input capacitance 25 pF requires careful feedback resistor selection to avoid peaking |
| 3 - V− | Negative Supply Rail | Supports ground-referenced (0 V) or split-supply (e.g., −5 V) operation; absolute max −0.3 V below V− |
| 4 - OUT | Amplifier Output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives ≥42 mA (sourcing/sinking, 5 V supply); stable with ≥10 pF capacitive load when isolated |
| 5 - V+ | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts 2.7 V–12 V; PSRR ≥98 dB minimizes supply ripple coupling into precision outputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Renewable Energy Grade | Qualified per solar inverter environmental stress profiles; operates reliably at 125°C ambient in PV string monitors |
| Rail-to-Rail Input & Output | CMVR extends to V− − 0.2 V and V+ + 0.2 V; output swings to within 30 mV of rails at 5 V supply |
| Ultra-Low Input Bias Current | ±200 fA typ at 25°C - enables femtoampere-level current measurement in photodiode transimpedance amps |
| Low Input Voltage Noise | 9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - outperforms most precision bipolar op-amps in medium-bandwidth sensor applications |
| Wide Supply Range | 2.7 V–12 V operation eliminates need for LDOs in multi-rail systems; maintains specs across full range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA333AIDBVR | Lower max offset (10 µV), but only 5.5 V max supply and −40°C to +125°C rating not validated for continuous 125°C operation | Better for low-voltage (<5.5 V) battery systems; unsuitable for 12 V solar string monitors requiring full-range 125°C qualification | Select OPA333AIDBVR only if supply ≤5.5 V and 125°C continuous operation is not required |
| LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF | Zero-drift architecture; 0.5 µV max offset, but higher 1.1 mA supply current and 1.5 MHz GBW limits bandwidth-critical designs | Superior DC accuracy for static measurements; less suitable for AC-coupled sensor signals above 500 kHz | Choose LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF when sub-microvolt offset dominates system error budget and power is secondary |
Compared with OPA333AIDBVR and LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF, SM72501MFE/NOPB uniquely balances 12 V operation, 125°C continuous rating, ultra-low bias current, and 2.5 MHz bandwidth - making it the only option qualified for high-voltage renewable energy sensing where all four parameters are simultaneously critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for SM72501MFE/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ − V−) for SM72501MFE/NOPB is 13.2 V, with recommended operating range specified from 2.7 V to 12 V. Operation beyond 12 V voids parametric guarantees per the datasheet's Operating Ratings table; sustained use at 13.2 V risks accelerated parametric drift or latent failure.
Does SM72501MFE/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
Yes - SM72501MFE/NOPB supports rail-to-rail input with common-mode voltage range extending to V− − 0.2 V and V+ + 0.2 V (e.g., −0.2 V to 5.2 V at 5 V supply), maintaining ≥80 dB CMRR across this full range. This enables direct interfacing with sensors referenced to either supply rail without level-shifting circuitry.
Can SM72501MFE/NOPB drive capacitive loads directly?
SM72501MFE/NOPB is stable with ≤10 pF capacitive load in unity-gain configuration. For larger loads (e.g., ADC inputs, cables), an isolation resistor (RISO) must be placed between OUT and the load per Figure 41. Typical RISO values range from 10 Ω to 100 Ω depending on CL; omitting RISO risks oscillation or overshoot.
What is the input protection scheme on SM72501MFE/NOPB?
SM72501MFE/NOPB integrates anti-parallel ESD diodes between IN+ and IN− (Figure 45), limiting differential input voltage to ±300 mV. Exceeding this risks diode conduction and potential damage. External series resistors are mandatory when interfacing with signals exceeding ±300 mV differential or ±10 mA input current.
Is SM72501MFE/NOPB pin-compatible with other SOT-23 op-amps?
No - SM72501MFE/NOPB uses a non-standard 5-pin SOT-23 pinout (IN−, IN+, V−, OUT, V+) that differs from industry-standard pinouts like the LMV321 (IN+, IN−, V−, V+, OUT). Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision; no pin-compatible alternatives exist in TI's portfolio for this specific feature set.
