Product details
Overview
TL071CDT from STMicroelectronics is a low-noise JFET-input single operational amplifier optimized for audio, instrumentation, and precision signal conditioning. It delivers 16 V/µs slew rate, 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise (typ), 0.01% THD at 1 kHz, and operates from ±6 V to ±18 V supply rails in SO-8 package. Used in high-fidelity preamplifiers and active filters where low distortion and wide common-mode range are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TL071CDT datasheet, TL071CDT pinout, TL071CDT application, or TL071CDT equivalent, key selection criteria include input bias current (≤20 pA typ), offset voltage drift (10 µV/°C), output short-circuit protection, and JFET-input stage impedance (>10¹² Ω) - all verified under ±15 V, +25°C conditions per ST's Rev 3 specification.
Technical Context
The TL071CDT implements a monolithic JFET-bipolar hybrid architecture with internal frequency compensation for unity-gain stability. Its high-impedance JFET differential pair enables ultra-low input bias current and low noise performance across its full ±11 V common-mode input range.
It features dual offset-null pins (1 and 5) for precise DC calibration, latch-up-free operation, and rail-to-rail compatible output swing (±12 V into 10 kΩ). The device is not rail-to-rail input or output but supports inputs up to VCC+ and outputs within 1.5 V of rails under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±6 V to ±18 V - supports dual-rail industrial and audio systems without external regulators |
| Slew Rate | 16 V/µs (typ) - enables clean 20 kHz audio amplification with minimal transient distortion |
| Input Noise | 15 nV/√Hz (typ, 1 kHz) - critical for low-level sensor signal amplification without added noise floor |
| THD | 0.01 % (typ, 1 kHz, 2 Vpp) - meets hi-fi preamp linearity requirements |
| Input Bias Current | 20 pA (typ, +25°C) - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance transducer interfaces |
| CMRR | 86 dB (typ) - rejects power-supply and EMI-induced common-mode interference effectively |
| Gain Bandwidth | 4 MHz (typ) - sufficient for stable closed-loop gain ≥100 at audio frequencies |
Pinout & Package
TL071CDT is housed in an SO-8 (Small Outline, 8-pin) plastic micropackage compliant with JEDEC MS-012, measuring 4.90 mm × 6.00 mm × 1.75 mm (max height), with lead-free ECOPACK® finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null 1 | Connects to potentiometer wiper for manual input offset voltage trimming |
| 2 | Inverting Input | Differential input node accepting feedback network for stable closed-loop configurations |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input | High-impedance reference input used in follower, summing, or differential configurations |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply rail connection - must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 | Offset Null 2 | Second terminal of offset null potentiometer - completes DC calibration path |
| 6 | Output | Class-AB output stage capable of ±12 V swing into 10 kΩ, short-circuit protected |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail connection - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling |
| 8 | No Connect | Internally unconnected - must remain floating; no external tie required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Input Bias Current | 20 pA typ enables use with >1 MΩ source impedances without significant DC error |
| High Input Impedance | 10¹² Ω minimizes loading on passive filter networks and piezoelectric sensors |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | Allows safe operation during fault conditions without external current limiting components |
| Wide Common-Mode Range | ±11 V (with ±15 V supplies) supports direct interfacing to bipolar DACs and ADC drivers |
| Latch-Up Free Operation | Guarantees immunity to destructive parasitic thyristor activation under overvoltage stress |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL071IDT | Wider operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) vs. TL071CDT (0°C to +70°C); identical electrical specs | Suitable for automotive engine control modules and industrial PLC I/O where ambient exceeds 70°C | Select TL071IDT when extended temperature operation is required; same footprint and pinout |
| OPA134UA | Lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), higher GBP (8 MHz), no offset null pins; SO-8 package | Better suited for ultra-low-noise audio paths but lacks user-adjustable offset trimming capability | Choose OPA134UA for noise-critical headphone amps; retain TL071CDT when DC calibration is mandatory |
Compared with TL071IDT, TL071CDT trades temperature margin for cost-sensitive commercial applications, while OPA134UA offers superior AC performance at the expense of DC adjustability - making TL071CDT optimal for calibrated, fixed-temperature instrumentation where offset tuning is essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for TL071CDT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is ±18 V, but recommended operating range is ±6 V to ±18 V. Exceeding ±18 V risks permanent damage. Thermal derating applies above +70°C ambient - consult Rthja (125 °C/W for SO-8) to ensure junction temperature stays below 150°C under load.
Does TL071CDT require external compensation?
No - TL071CDT features internal frequency compensation optimized for unity-gain stability. It drives capacitive loads up to 100 pF directly without oscillation. For heavier loads (>200 pF), a series resistor (20–100 Ω) between output and load is recommended to maintain phase margin ≥45°.
Can TL071CDT drive a 600 Ω audio line?
Not directly - its specified output swing is ±12 V into 10 kΩ, degrading to ±8 V into 2 kΩ and insufficient for 600 Ω. Use a dedicated line driver (e.g., BUF634) or add a discrete emitter-follower stage. The TL071CDT is intended for buffered, high-impedance interstage connections, not low-Z transmission.
How do I use the offset null pins (1 and 5) on TL071CDT?
Connect a 10 kΩ potentiometer between pins 1 and 5, with wiper tied to VCC−. Adjust wiper until output voltage is <1 mV with inputs shorted and grounded. This nulls input offset voltage at room temperature; re-trim if ambient changes significantly, as drift is 10 µV/°C.
