The LMV321, LMV358, and LMV324/LMV324S are single, dual, and quad low-voltage (2.7 V to 5.5 V) operational amplifiers with rail-to-rail output swing. The LMV324S, which is a variation of the standard LMV324, includes a power-saving shutdown feature that reduces supply current to a maximum of 5 µA per channel when the amplifiers are not needed. Channels 1 and 2 together are put in shutdown, as are channels 3 and 4. While in shutdown, the outputs actively are pulled low.
The LMV321, LMV358, LMV324, and LMV324S are the most cost-effective solutions for applications where low-voltage operation, space saving, and low cost are needed. These amplifiers were designed specifically for low-voltage (2.7 V to 5 V) operation, with performance specifications meeting or exceeding the LM358 and LM324 devices that operate from 5 V to 30 V. Additional features of the LMV3xx devices are a common-mode input voltage range that includes ground, 1-MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and 1-V/µs slew rate.
The LMV321 is available in the ultra-small DCK (SC-70) package, which is approximately one-half the size of the DBV (SOT-23) package. This package saves space on printed circuit boards and enables the design of small portable electronic devices. It also allows the designer to place the device closer to the signal source to reduce noise pickup and increase signal integrity.
