Product details
Overview
TL081BCDR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for precision DC-coupled and wideband AC applications. It delivers 20 V/μs slew rate, 5.25 MHz gain-bandwidth product, ±1 mV typical input offset voltage, 37 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, and operates from ±2.25 V to ±20 V supplies. It is used in pro audio mixers and battery test equipment where low noise and high CMRR are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TL081BCDR datasheet, TL081BCDR pinout, TL081BCDR application, or TL081BCDR equivalent, key selection criteria include input bias current (±1 pA typ), common-mode input range extending to VCC+, output short-circuit protection, and thermal performance in SOIC-8 packaging for industrial signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The TL081BCDR uses a dual-JFET input stage enabling ultra-low input bias current and rail-to-rail common-mode input capability up to VCC+. Its internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation with ≥56° phase margin into 20 pF capacitive loads.
It features integrated EMI/RF filters and 1.5 kV HBM ESD rating, supporting robust operation in noisy environments such as motor drive feedback loops and UPS control circuits without external filtering.
Key Specifications

| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No connection - must be left unconnected per datasheet; not internally bonded |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input - accepts feedback network for stable closed-loop gain configuration |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - provides high-impedance signal entry point for sensor interfaces |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply rail - must be decoupled with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 | NC | No connection - floating; no internal function or bond wire |
| 6 | OUT | Amplified output - drives loads up to 2 kΩ with ≤210 mV headroom from positive rail |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail - requires local 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling for stability |
| 8 | NC | No connection - unused pad; no electrical or thermal function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL081CDR | Higher input offset voltage (±3 mV max vs ±1 mV typ), wider full-range temp spec (0°C to 70°C vs –40°C to 125°C) | Cost-sensitive commercial-grade designs where ±3 mV offset is acceptable | Select TL081CDR only if temperature range and offset tolerance allow relaxed specifications |
| OPA1671IDR | Lower noise (4.5 nV/√Hz), rail-to-rail output, higher quiescent current (1.6 mA), CMOS input (vs JFET) | Ultra-low-noise audio paths requiring RRO and lower distortion than TL081BCDR can deliver | Choose OPA1671IDR when noise floor and output swing are prioritized over input bias current and cost |
Compared with TL081CDR and OPA1671IDR, TL081BCDR uniquely balances ultra-low input bias current (±1 pA), extended temperature operation (–40°C to 125°C), and proven reliability in industrial power electronics-making it optimal for high-impedance, wide-temp sensor interfaces where JFET input characteristics are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for TL081BCDR?
The TL081BCDR is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, matching the TL081H grade specification. This extended temperature range supports deployment in industrial motor drives, solar inverters, and outdoor UPS systems where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. The device maintains specified offset drift (±2 µV/°C) and CMRR (≥95 dB) across this full range.
Does TL081BCDR support single-supply operation?
Yes, TL081BCDR supports true single-supply operation with common-mode input voltage range extending to VCC+. When powered from +5 V to +40 V (with VCC– grounded), the input can accept signals from 0 V up to VCC+, enabling direct interfacing with sensors and DACs referenced to the positive rail. Output swing remains within 210 mV of VCC+ and 215 mV of ground under 10 kΩ load.
What is the input bias current specification for TL081BCDR?
The TL081BCDR exhibits ±1 pA typical input bias current at 25°C, with a maximum of ±120 pA over –40°C to +125°C. This ultra-low value results from its dual-JFET input stage and enables use with high-impedance sources such as photodiodes, piezoelectric transducers, and RC filter networks without significant voltage error or time-constant degradation.
Is TL081BCDR pin-compatible with other TL081 variants?
Yes, TL081BCDR uses the standard 8-pin SOIC (D package) footprint and pinout defined for all TL081x devices, including TL081CDR, TL081ACDR, and TL081H variants. Pin functions (IN−, IN+, OUT, VCC±, NC) are identical, allowing drop-in replacement where electrical specs meet design requirements-though temperature range and offset voltage differ between grades.
What decoupling is recommended for TL081BCDR power pins?
Texas Instruments recommends placing a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC+ (Pin 7) and VCC– (Pin 4), located as close as possible to the device. For systems with high-frequency noise or switching regulators, adding a 10 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor in parallel improves low-frequency supply stability. Ground plane layout should minimize inductance in the decoupling loop.
