LM6172IM/NOPB – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments LM6172IM/NOPB is a single, low-power, high-voltage operational amplifier (op-amp) optimized for applications requiring rail-to-rail output swing and high input impedance. Specifically, the “IM” denotes a surface-mount SOIC-8 package, while “/NOPB” indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 16V, exhibiting a typical input bias current of only 10nA, contributing to its low-power consumption. The device boasts a guaranteed minimum gain bandwidth product (GBW) of 1MHz and a slew rate of 0.5V/µs, suitable for moderate-speed applications. Its rail-to-rail output capability allows for maximum signal swing, minimizing distortion._x000D_

Common use cases include precision instrumentation amplifiers, low-power sensor signal conditioning, and battery-powered applications where minimizing current draw is crucial. The LM6172IM/NOPB’s advantages stem from its combination of high input impedance, low input bias current, wide supply voltage range, and rail-to-rail output swing, enabling designers to create accurate, efficient, and compact circuits without compromising performance. Its small SOIC-8 footprint facilitates high-density PCB design. However, designers should note its relatively modest bandwidth, making it unsuitable for high-frequency applications.
