What this op-amp brings to the signal chain
The LMV321Q1M5X/NOPB is a single-channel general-purpose op-amp from Texas Instruments, part of the Automotive AEC-Q100 series. It fits signal-conditioning stages where a rail-to-rail output swing and a 1 MHz gain-bandwidth product are enough to handle sensor buffering, filter stages, or level shifting without overspending on a wider-bandwidth part.
Parametric fit for a BOM line
A 1V/µs slew rate and 1 MHz GBW mean this op-amp handles signals up to roughly 160 kHz at full output swing before the slew-rate limit kicks in — adequate for many automotive sensor interfaces and general-purpose analog loops. Supply current is 130µA, keeping the power budget tight on a 2.7 V to 5.5 V rail. Input bias current is 15 nA typical, and input offset voltage is 1.7 mV — both moderate figures that suit non-precision applications like active filters, comparator circuits, or signal buffering where the offset is trimmed or tolerated. The rail-to-rail output lets the signal swing to within millivolts of the supply rails, useful when the ADC reference or downstream load runs on the same 3.3 V or 5 V rail and you need the full dynamic range.
Automotive temperature grade and package reality
Qualified to AEC-Q100, the LMV321Q1M5X/NOPB operates across -40°C to 125°C — the full automotive temperature range for under-hood and cabin electronics. The SOT-23-5 package (SC-74A) is a standard 5-pin footprint that shares the same land pattern as many other single op-amps, so a board layout swap to a pin-compatible alternative is straightforward.
Sourcing and supply posture
Available in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) for surface-mount assembly. This is a current-production Texas Instruments part sourced through authorized and independent distribution — quoted to order against your BOM quantity, with pricing and lead time confirmed at RFQ.
