Product details
Overview
SM72501MFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a renewable energy-grade, rail-to-rail input/output precision operational amplifier with CMOS input stage, ±200 µV max input offset voltage, ±200 fA input bias current, and 2.7 V to 12 V supply range. It operates across −40°C to +125°C and delivers 2.5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth for high-accuracy sensor interface and instrumentation applications in solar power electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SM72501MFX/NOPB datasheet, SM72501MFX/NOPB pinout, SM72501MFX/NOPB application, or SM72501MFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low input bias current for high-impedance source interfacing, rail-to-rail output swing within 40 mV of rails at 3 V supply, 9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and guaranteed performance over extended industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The SM72501MFX/NOPB employs VIP50 CMOS process technology to integrate a complementary rail-to-rail input stage with wide common-mode range (−0.2 V to VS + 0.2 V) and low offset drift (±1 µV/°C typical). Its architecture trims both NMOS and PMOS input pairs to minimize CMRR glitches inherent in conventional rail-to-rail amplifiers.
It achieves 130 dB open-loop gain and 130 dB CMRR at 25°C while maintaining ≥80 dB CMRR across full common-mode range. The output stage drives ±42 mA (sourcing/sinking) into 10 kΩ loads and swings to within 30–60 mV of either supply rail depending on load and supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | ±200 µV (max) - enables sub-millivolt DC accuracy in precision transducer signal chains without trimming. |
| Input Bias Current | ±200 fA (typ) - supports >1012 Ω source impedances without significant error voltage buildup. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - operates directly from single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or photovoltaic string outputs without regulation. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 2.5 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing, active filtering, and fast-settling DAC buffering up to ~200 kSPS. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level thermocouple, strain gauge, and photodiode front-ends. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for outdoor solar inverters, battery management systems, and industrial field sensors. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings to within 30 mV of rails (10 kΩ load, 5 V supply) - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage, single-supply systems. |
Pinout & Package
SM72501MFX/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (DBV), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and solar energy equipment.
| 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 network design above 100 kHz. |
| 3 - V− | Negative supply | Supports single-supply (0 V ground) or split-supply (e.g., ±5 V) operation; must be decoupled locally. |
| 4 - OUT | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ≥40 mA; isolation resistor recommended for >100 pF capacitive loads. |
| 5 - V+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.7 V–12 V; PSRR ≥98 dB ensures immunity to supply ripple in noisy PV or battery environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Renewable Energy Grade | Qualified per TI's solar-specific reliability standards, including extended temperature cycling and humidity testing. |
| CMOS Input Stage | Enables femtoampere-level bias current critical for high-Z pH electrodes, piezoresistive sensors, and leakage-current monitoring. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input/Output | Full input range (V− − 0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V) and output swing (within 30 mV of rails) maximize usable signal headroom. |
| Low Input Voltage Noise | 9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - lower than most precision op-amps in same supply/current class, improving weak-signal fidelity. |
| VIP50 Process Integration | Combines CMOS input with 12 V common-mode capability - unavailable in standard CMOS op-amps operating above 5.5 V. |

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 fully characterized; 360 µA supply current. | Better DC accuracy in low-voltage (<5.5 V) systems; unsuitable for direct 12 V PV string monitoring. | Select OPA333AIDBVR when supply is ≤5.5 V and ultra-low offset dominates over supply flexibility. |
| AD8628ARJZ-REEL7 | Zero-drift architecture; 1 µV max offset, but 5.5 V max supply, higher 1.2 mA supply current, and no guaranteed 125°C operation. | Superior long-term DC stability for lab instruments; lacks extended supply range and automotive-grade temp validation. | Choose AD8628ARJZ-REEL7 for metrology-grade DC stability where supply is regulated and temperature stays ≤85°C. |
Compared with OPA333AIDBVR and AD8628ARJZ-REEL7, SM72501MFX/NOPB uniquely combines 12 V operation, 125°C qualification, and femtoampere bias current-making it irreplaceable in unregulated solar and harsh-environment sensing where other precision amps fail electrically or thermally.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for SM72501MFX/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ to V−) for SM72501MFX/NOPB is 13.2 V. The recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 12 V, and all electrical specifications-including offset voltage, CMRR, and output swing-are guaranteed across this full range at temperatures from −40°C to +125°C. Exceeding 13.2 V risks permanent damage.
Does SM72501MFX/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
Yes. SM72501MFX/NOPB supports a common-mode input voltage range from (V− − 0.2 V) to (V+ + 0.2 V), verified across its full operating temperature and supply range. At 5 V supply, this spans −0.2 V to +5.2 V; at ±5 V supplies, it covers −5.2 V to +5.2 V-enabling direct interfacing with grounded or bipolar sensor outputs without level-shifting.
What is the input capacitance of SM72501MFX/NOPB and how does it affect stability?
SM72501MFX/NOPB has a typical input capacitance of 25 pF per input terminal, resulting from its high-impedance CMOS input stage. This capacitance interacts with feedback/gain resistors to form poles that reduce phase margin above ~100 kHz. Stability is maintained by using lower-value resistors (≤10 kΩ) or adding a feedback capacitor (CF) per TI's Application Note SNIS157C Figure 44.
Can SM72501MFX/NOPB drive capacitive loads directly?
SM72501MFX/NOPB is not unity-gain stable into heavy capacitive loads. For loads >100 pF, TI recommends inserting an isolation resistor (RISO) between the output and the load capacitance, as shown in Figure 41 of the datasheet. Typical RISO values range from 10 Ω to 100 Ω depending on CL; larger RISO improves stability but reduces output swing and current drive capability.
Is SM72501MFX/NOPB pin-compatible with other SOT-23 op-amps?
No documented pin-compatible alternatives exist for SM72501MFX/NOPB in the 5-pin SOT-23 package. Its pinout (IN−, IN+, V−, OUT, V+) differs from industry-standard configurations like the LMV321 or OPA344. Layout redesign is required when substituting; always verify pin mapping against the DBV package drawing in the SM72501MFX/NOPB datasheet before PCB revision.
