Product details
Overview
TL034CN from Texas Instruments is a quad FET-input operational amplifier optimized for low-power, low-offset precision analog signal conditioning in dual-supply systems. It delivers 1.1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, ±15 V max supply voltage, 120 μA typical supply current per amplifier, 0.91 mV max input offset voltage (25°C, C-suffix), and 10¹² Ω input resistance - enabling high-impedance sensor interfacing in solar inverter feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TL034CN datasheet, TL034CN pinout, TL034CN application, or TL034CN equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated 14-pin PDIP package details, real-world use cases in motor drive control and UPS monitoring, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TL034CN uses Texas Instruments' enhanced LinCMOS™ FET process to achieve higher slew rate (2.0–2.9 V/μs) and bandwidth without increasing quiescent current versus legacy TL06x amplifiers. Its JFET input stage ensures ultra-low input bias current (10–200 pA at 25°C) and high common-mode rejection (70–94 dB), making it suitable for precision DC-coupled gain stages.
Designed for dual-supply operation (±5 V to ±15 V), the device requires careful attention to common-mode input range (−11.5 V to +14 V at ±15 V supplies) and output swing limitations (±12.5 V min into 10 kΩ). It is not internally compensated for single-supply use without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5 V to ±15 V - supports industrial-grade dual-rail systems; absolute max ±18 V. |
| Input Offset Voltage (25°C) | 0.91 mV (max, TL034C) - enables <1 LSB error in 12-bit ADC front-ends with gain ≤100. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.1 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters up to ~100 kHz and motor current sensing loop compensation. |
| Slew Rate | 2.0 V/μs (min, positive); 3.9 V/μs (min, negative) - supports clean 100-kHz sine wave output at ±2 V amplitude. |
| Input Bias Current | 10 pA (typ, 25°C) - preserves signal integrity when buffering piezoelectric or photodiode sensors. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 70–94 dB - rejects power supply ripple and ground noise in noisy inverter environments. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 120–250 μA (typ/max, 25°C) - allows four-channel operation under 1 mA total, ideal for battery-backed monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
TL034CN is supplied in a 14-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package, 19.3 mm × 9.4 mm, with 0.3-inch row spacing and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; orientation follows standard IC top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Output, channel 1 | Amplified output of first op-amp; drives feedback networks or next-stage buffers. |
| 1IN– | Inverting Input, channel 1 | High-impedance node for precision feedback resistor connection; sensitive to layout parasitics. |
| 1IN+ | Non-Inverting Input, channel 1 | Accepts high-Z sensor signals (e.g., thermocouple, strain gauge) with minimal loading. |
| VCC+ | Power supply positive | Connects to +V rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 μF ceramic) required within 1 cm. |
| 2IN+ | Non-Inverting Input, channel 2 | Independent input for second channel; no internal crosstalk (120 dB attenuation). |
| 2IN– | Inverting Input, channel 2 | Used for differential-to-single-ended conversion or active filtering in multi-channel designs. |
| 2OUT | Output, channel 2 | Provides isolated gain path; shares no internal nodes with other channels. |
| 3OUT | Output, channel 3 | Third independent output; enables three-phase current sensing or redundant monitoring paths. |
| 3IN– | Inverting Input, channel 3 | Supports phase-shifted or time-multiplexed signal acquisition across all four amplifiers. |
| 3IN+ | Non-Inverting Input, channel 3 | Configurable as reference buffer or comparator hysteresis input in hybrid analog-digital circuits. |
| VCC– | Power supply negative | Connects to –V rail; must be referenced to system ground via star point for noise control. |
| 4IN+ | Non-Inverting Input, channel 4 | Enables fourth independent signal path - e.g., temperature compensation or auxiliary voltage monitor. |
| 4IN– | Inverting Input, channel 4 | Allows simultaneous error amplification across multiple control loops (e.g., DC bus + AC line + battery). |
| 4OUT | Output, channel 4 | Final output stage for system-level fault detection or watchdog signal generation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad FET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL064CN | Higher input offset (15 mV max), lower slew rate (0.35 V/μs), 2× higher supply current (500 μA/amp). | Acceptable only where cost is primary constraint and precision/speed requirements are relaxed. | Choose TL064CN only if design tolerates >10× higher VIO and cannot accommodate TL034CN's tighter layout rules. |
| TL074CDR | SOIC-14 package, 10 V/μs slew rate, 3 MHz GBW, but 1.4 mA/amp supply current - not drop-in. | Preferred for higher-speed designs where power budget allows; requires PCB redesign. | Select TL074CDR when bandwidth >1.1 MHz is mandatory and thermal/power margins permit 5× higher ICC. |
Compared with TL064CN, TL034CN reduces offset error by 94% and doubles slew rate at half the supply current; versus TL074CDR, it trades speed and package density for 85% lower quiescent power - making it optimal for thermally constrained, precision-critical industrial controls.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for TL034CN?
The TL034CN is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C (C-suffix grade). It is not rated for extended industrial temperatures; for −40°C to 85°C operation, specify TL034IN or TL034AIN. Thermal derating is required above 70°C ambient due to θJA = 80°C/W in PDIP package.
Can TL034CN operate from a single supply?
TL034CN is designed for dual-supply operation and lacks rail-to-rail input/output capability. Single-supply use requires external DC biasing (e.g., virtual ground via TLE2426) and careful common-mode range management - TI recommends TLC-series amplifiers (e.g., TLC27L4) for native single-supply designs.
What is the input capacitance of TL034CN?
The TL034CN has a typical input capacitance of 4 pF per input terminal, measured at 25°C. This low value minimizes phase shift in high-frequency feedback networks and supports stable operation with capacitive sources up to ~100 pF without compensation.
Does TL034CN include internal ESD protection?
Yes, TL034CN incorporates internal ESD protection diodes on all pins rated to ±2000 V HBM per JEDEC JS-001. However, external series resistors (1–10 kΩ) are recommended on high-impedance inputs during board handling and in-system testing to prevent latch-up under transient overstress.
How does TL034CN compare to TL034ACN in terms of offset voltage?
TL034ACN features on-chip offset trimming, delivering tighter initial VIO: 0.70 mV max (25°C) versus 0.91 mV max for TL034CN. Both share identical pinout, package, and operating conditions - TL034ACN is preferred where <0.1% gain error is critical in uncalibrated systems.
