Product details
Overview
TL070IDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity audio preamplification, featuring 13 V/µs typical slew rate, 0.003% typical total harmonic distortion at 1 kHz, and 18 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz. It operates from ±4 V to ±18 V supplies, delivers ±12 V output swing into 10 kΩ at full temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), and integrates JFET input stage for >1 TΩ input resistance.
For engineers reviewing the TL070IDRG4 datasheet, TL070IDRG4 pinout, TL070IDRG4 application, or TL070IDRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package layout, audio-grade performance context, offset nulling capability, and validated alternative options for low-noise analog signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The TL070IDRG4 uses a dual-JFET input stage with bipolar output transistors on a monolithic die, enabling high input impedance (>10¹² Ω) and low input bias current (65 pA typ at 25°C). Its internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation without external components.
It features dedicated offset null pins (N1/COMP and OFFSET N2), rail-to-rail common-mode input range including VCC+, and latch-up-free architecture. The device supports differential input voltages up to ±30 V and includes output short-circuit protection with unlimited duration rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 13 V/µs typical - enables clean 20 kHz full-scale audio signal amplification without slew-induced distortion |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.003% typical at 1 kHz - meets high-fidelity preamp requirements for studio-grade signal integrity |
| Input Voltage Noise | 18 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - critical for low-level microphone and phono-stage applications where noise floor dominates SNR |
| Input Bias Current | 65 pA typical at 25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and passive filter networks |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 3 MHz - supports stable gain-of-10 inverting amplifiers with bandwidth up to ~300 kHz |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –12 V to +15 V at ±15 V supply - allows direct interfacing with signals referenced to VCC+ or ground |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4 V to ±18 V - compatible with legacy ±12 V, ±15 V, and modern ±5 V analog rails |
Pinout & Package
TL070IDRG4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package (D package), 3.9 mm wide, with standard JEDEC MS-012 footprint and RoHS-compliant lead finish. Thermal resistance θJA is 97°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N1/COMP | Offset null input - connects to potentiometer wiper for precision DC offset adjustment |
| 2 | IN– | Inverting input - high-impedance JFET node for feedback network connection |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - high-impedance JFET node for reference or signal source connection |
| 4 | VCC– | Negative supply rail - must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 | OFFSET N2 | Offset null output - connects to potentiometer end terminal for balanced nulling circuit |
| 6 | OUT | Amplified output - capable of ±12 V swing into 10 kΩ load across full temperature range |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
| 8 | COMP | Internal compensation node - not user-accessible; internal 18 pF capacitor sets dominant pole |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JFET input stage | Input resistance >10¹² Ω and input bias current ≤20 nA over –40°C to 85°C - preserves gain accuracy in high-Z sensor front-ends |
| Offset voltage nulling | Dedicated N1/COMP and OFFSET N2 pins - enables sub-mV DC offset correction without external op-amps or digital trimming |
| Rail-inclusive common-mode range | Common-mode input extends to VCC+ - eliminates level-shifting for single-supply-compatible configurations using split-rail references |
| Output short-circuit protection | Unlimited short-circuit duration rating - prevents thermal runaway during fault conditions in production audio equipment |
| Latch-up free operation | Guaranteed immunity to CMOS-like latch-up under overvoltage or ESD stress - enhances reliability in unregulated industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar JFET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL071CDR | Single-channel variant with identical electrical specs but no offset null pins; SOIC-8 package | Lacks N1/COMP and OFFSET N2 terminals - unsuitable for precision DC-coupled designs requiring <1 mV offset | Select when offset drift is managed via system-level calibration or AC coupling is acceptable |
| OPA134UA | Lower input voltage noise (8 nV/√Hz), higher slew rate (20 V/µs), wider supply range (±2.5 V to ±18 V) | Higher cost and different pinout - requires PCB redesign; superior for ultra-low-noise microphone preamps | Select when THD <0.001% and noise floor <10 nV/√Hz are mandatory, and BOM cost is secondary |
Compared with TL071CDR, TL070IDRG4 provides essential offset nulling for DC-critical audio paths; compared with OPA134UA, it offers proven cost-effective performance for professional audio gear where 0.003% THD and 18 nV/√Hz meet specification without premium pricing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for TL070IDRG4?
The TL070IDRG4 supports absolute maximum supply voltages of ±18 V. Operation at ±15 V is standard per datasheet test conditions, delivering ±12 V output swing into 10 kΩ. Sustained operation above ±15 V requires verification of power dissipation limits and thermal derating per the 97°C/W θJA rating.
Does TL070IDRG4 require external compensation capacitors?
No, TL070IDRG4 is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. The datasheet confirms use of an internal 18 pF capacitor (see Figure 1 and Typical Characteristics notes), eliminating need for external compensation in standard configurations like voltage followers or gain-of-10 inverting amplifiers.
How is offset voltage adjusted on TL070IDRG4?
TL070IDRG4 provides dedicated offset null pins: Pin 1 (N1/COMP) and Pin 5 (OFFSET N2). A 10 kΩ potentiometer is connected with its ends to VCC+ and VCC–, and its wiper to Pin 1; one end of the potentiometer connects to Pin 5. This configuration enables sub-millivolt DC offset correction across temperature.
Is TL070IDRG4 suitable for single-supply operation?
TL070IDRG4 supports single-supply operation when biased appropriately: its common-mode input range extends to VCC+, allowing IN+ or IN– to accept signals near the positive rail. However, output swing does not reach VCC–, so a virtual ground or level-shifting network is required for true rail-to-rail input/output behavior.
What is the input bias current specification for TL070IDRG4 over temperature?
TL070IDRG4 specifies input bias current of 65 pA typical at 25°C and ≤20 nA over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This JFET-input characteristic remains stable across temperature, making it suitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces where bias current drift would otherwise degrade accuracy.
