1.5 MHz GBW, 0.42 V/µs — signal bandwidth and slew limits
The LMV981MFX/NOPB: The 1.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product sets the usable small-signal bandwidth: at a closed-loop gain of 10, the -3 dB point lands around 150 kHz. The 0.42 V/µs slew rate limits the full-power bandwidth — a 2 V peak-to-peak output swing starts to distort above roughly 33 kHz. For audio or low-frequency sensor conditioning this is comfortable; for high-speed ADC driving or video, a faster part is needed. The 100 mA output current per channel can directly drive a small relay, an LED indicator, or the input of a successive-approximation ADC without a separate buffer. The 116 µA quiescent current per channel keeps the power budget lean for battery-powered sensor nodes that run continuously.
Temperature grade and package — where it fits on the board
The SOT-23-6 package is a compact, industry-standard footprint — 6 leads on 0.95 mm pitch — that fits on space-constrained portable and industrial PCBs without requiring a dedicated thermal pad. Input bias current is 14 nA typical — acceptable for general-purpose signal conditioning from a low-impedance source (e.g., a voltage divider or a previous amplifier stage), but not for a high-impedance sensor front-end like a pH probe or a photodiode where picoamp-level bias is required.
Active production — sourcing posture
Texas Instruments lists the LMV981MFX/NOPB as Active (current production), with ROHS3 compliance (no exemptions). The part is available in Tape & Reel (standard for pick-and-place) or Cut Tape (for prototype runs). Sourced through independent distribution channels. No minimum order quantity beyond the reel increment is enforced.
