Product details
Overview
TL064ACN from Texas Instruments is a quad JFET-input operational amplifier designed for low-power, high-input-impedance signal conditioning in cost-sensitive analog circuits. It delivers 200 µA per amplifier supply current, 3.5 V/µs slew rate, ±11 V common-mode input range (with VCC+ inclusion), and 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth - enabling precision DC-coupled amplification in battery-powered and thermally constrained systems such as sensor front-ends and portable audio preamps.
For engineers reviewing the TL064ACN datasheet, TL064ACN pinout, TL064ACN application, or TL064ACN equivalent, key selection considerations include its JFET-input stage (1012 Ω input resistance), rail-to-rail common-mode capability, low 5 pA typical input offset current, and PDIP-14 package compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts - all critical for stable, low-drift, low-noise analog signal chains operating across 0°C to 70°C.
Technical Context
The TL064ACN implements a fully differential JFET-input stage followed by a high-gain bipolar output stage, providing inherent latch-up-free operation and internal frequency compensation for unity-gain stability. Its architecture supports wide supply ranges (±5 V to ±15 V) and features integrated EMI/RF filtering to suppress high-frequency interference without external components.
Designed as a low-power counterpart to the TL074 and TL084 families, the TL064ACN maintains comparable AC performance (1 MHz GBW, 3.5 V/µs SR) while reducing quiescent current by ~50%. It achieves 86 dB CMRR and 95 dB PSRR at 25°C, with guaranteed operation over the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) under specified load and supply conditions.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad op-amp configured as two differential preamps and two active filters - each channel uses one amplifier pair for gain + filtering. Use Value: 200 µA per amplifier enables >100 hours of operation on a 1000 mAh Li-ion cell while maintaining SNR >85 dB via low input noise (30 nV/√Hz) and minimal THD. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning outputs from RTDs, strain gauges, and thermocouples in white goods control boards operating across 0°C–70°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision instrumentation amplifier front-end (gain = 100) using matched TL064ACN pairs for input buffering and differential amplification. Use Value: 3 mV max input offset and 10 µV/°C drift ensure <±1°C measurement accuracy without calibration - meeting IEC 60730 Class B requirements. |
| Computer Power Supply Monitoring | Legacy Industrial Control Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Real-time monitoring of +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, and –12 V rails in desktop/server PSUs with discrete voltage dividers and comparator thresholds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four independent voltage comparators (open-loop mode) detecting over/under-voltage faults with hysteresis via external resistors. Use Value: Rail-to-rail input capability allows direct sensing of all four rails without level shifters; low supply current extends PSU standby time without compromising response latency. |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting analog I/O modules in PLC backplanes requiring 4–20 mA loop drivers and 0–10 V DAC buffers compatible with existing PDIP-14 footprints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad buffer for DAC outputs and current-loop transmitter stages - leveraging pinout compatibility with legacy TL084 designs. Use Value: Identical pinout and footprint to TL084 enables drop-in replacement; 50% lower power reduces thermal load in densely packed DIN-rail enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad JFET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL074CN | Higher supply current (2.5 mA/amp), faster slew rate (13 V/µs), tighter offset (10 mV max), same PDIP-14 package. | Better for wideband AC-coupled applications (e.g., audio equalizers); unsuitable for sub-mA power budgets. | Select TL074CN only when bandwidth/speed outweighs power constraints - not a direct replacement for TL064ACN in battery-powered systems. |
| TL084CN | Higher supply current (1.4 mA/amp), higher input bias current (300 pA), same GBW (3 MHz), same package. | Preferred for general-purpose amplification where cost and speed matter more than ultra-low bias current or ESD robustness. | Choose TL084CN for non-critical sensor interfaces or legacy designs already using its higher-noise profile - avoid where input impedance >1011 Ω is required. |
Compared with TL074CN and TL084CN, TL064ACN offers the lowest quiescent power and highest input impedance among TI's quad JFET op-amps in PDIP-14, making it uniquely suited for always-on, high-Z, and thermally restricted applications - though it trades off bandwidth and slew rate for those advantages.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TL064ACN?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TL064ACN is ±18 V, but the recommended operating range is ±5 V to ±15 V. Operating beyond ±15 V risks exceeding junction temperature limits and degrading long-term reliability, even if within absolute ratings. The TL064ACN datasheet specifies full parametric performance only within the recommended range, and thermal derating must be applied above 70°C ambient.
Does TL064ACN support single-supply operation?
Yes, TL064ACN supports single-supply operation with appropriate input biasing. Its common-mode input range includes VCC+, allowing the non-inverting input to be tied directly to the positive rail. For proper output swing, the negative supply (VCC−) should be connected to ground or a reference voltage, and input signals must remain within the specified VICR (e.g., 0 V to VCC+ – 4 V at 25°C). Decoupling and level-shifting may be needed for full-rail input coverage.
How does TL064ACN differ from TL064CN?
TL064ACN features tighter initial input offset voltage (3 mV max vs. 6 mV max for TL064CN) and improved input offset current (5 pA typ vs. 200 pA typ), reflecting enhanced process control and binning. Both share identical pinout, package, supply current, slew rate, and temperature range (0°C to 70°C). The 'A' grade is selected for applications demanding lower DC error without trimming - such as precision instrumentation or calibrated sensor interfaces where offset drift dominates system error.
Is TL064ACN pin-compatible with TL074 or TL084?
TL064ACN is pin-compatible with TL074CN and TL084CN in the PDIP-14 package (N suffix), sharing identical pin functions and physical footprint. However, differences in supply current, input bias current, and slew rate mean functional substitution requires validation of power budget, noise, and bandwidth requirements. No PCB changes are needed for mechanical replacement, but schematic review is essential to confirm electrical compatibility in the target application.
What thermal considerations apply to TL064ACN in PDIP-14 package?
In the N-package (PDIP-14), TL064ACN has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 80°C/W. At maximum rated dissipation (7.5 mW per amplifier × 4 = 30 mW), self-heating exceeds 2.4°C above ambient - negligible for most applications. However, in enclosed or high-ambient environments (>50°C), derating is advised: power should be reduced by 1.25 mW/°C above 70°C ambient to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C. Proper PCB copper pour under the package improves heat spreading.
