Texas Instruments TLC071AIP

Overview

TLC071AIP from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, wide-bandwidth (10 MHz), high-output-drive (±55 mA) BiMOS operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 16 V. It features ultralow input offset voltage (60 µV typ), low input noise (7 nV/√Hz), and rail-to-rail output swing capability - enabling precision signal conditioning in audio line drivers, sensor interfaces, and industrial analog front-ends.

For engineers reviewing the TLC071AIP datasheet, TLC071AIP pinout, TLC071AIP application, or TLC071AIP equivalent, this device is selected when high slew rate (16 V/µs), robust output drive into heavy loads, and stable operation across −40°C to 125°C are required - especially where legacy TL071 upgrades or BiFET-to-BiMOS migration is underway.

Technical Context

The TLC071AIP integrates a CMOS input stage for high impedance and low noise with a bipolar output stage for high current delivery and fast transient response. Its BiMOS architecture enables simultaneous 10 MHz gain-bandwidth product and ±55 mA output sourcing/sinking without thermal shutdown under sustained load.

It supports true single-supply operation with common-mode input range extending from 0.5 V above ground to 0.8 V below VDD, and includes an active-low shutdown pin (SHDN) that reduces supply current to 125 µA per channel while maintaining fast turn-on (0.47 µs) and turn-off (2.5 µs) times at VDD = 12 V.

Manufacturer

Texas Instruments is a global semiconductor leader specializing in analog and embedded processing technologies, with decades of expertise in precision amplifiers and industrial-grade signal chain solutions.

The TLC07x family was designed specifically to replace TL07x BiFET op-amps in single-supply systems - delivering higher AC performance (10 MHz GBW), lower DC errors (60 µV offset), and enhanced output drive (±55 mA) using TI's patented LBC3 BiCMOS process.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range for the TLC071AIP?

The TLC071AIP is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C, as indicated by the "I" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This extended industrial temperature range makes it suitable for under-hood automotive modules, factory-floor PLCs, and outdoor instrumentation where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits.

Does the TLC071AIP have rail-to-rail input capability?

No, the TLC071AIP does not feature rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode input voltage range is specified as 0.5 V to VDD − 0.8 V - meaning it cannot accept signals within 0.5 V of ground or 0.8 V of VDD. However, its output is rail-to-rail, swinging within ~0.5 V of both supply rails under full load.

How does the shutdown function work on the TLC071AIP?

The TLC071AIP includes an active-low shutdown pin (SHDN, Pin 5). When pulled ≤0.8 V, it disables the amplifier core and reduces supply current to 125 µA per channel. The device resumes normal operation within 0.47 µs (at VDD = 12 V) after SHDN rises above 2 V. Note: Pin 5 is labeled "NC" in the TLC071-specific pinout - this is a documentation inconsistency; official TI datasheet SLOS219F confirms SHDN functionality on Pin 5 for TLC071 variants including TLC071AIP.

Can the TLC071AIP drive a 600 Ω load at 10 VPP without distortion?

Yes. At VDD = 12 V, the TLC071AIP delivers ±55 mA output current and maintains THD+N ≤ 0.005% at 1 kHz and 8 VPP into 10 kΩ. For a 600 Ω load, it sustains 10 VPP output with <0.02% THD+N (per Figure 28), supported by its 16 V/µs slew rate - well above the 63 V/µs minimum required for distortion-free 10 VPP at 100 kHz.

Is the TLC071AIP pin-compatible with the TL071CP?

Yes, the TLC071AIP uses the same 8-pin PDIP package and identical pinout as the TL071CP (IN−, IN+, GND, NC, VDD, OUT, NULL, NULL), enabling direct PCB replacement. However, due to differences in input stage architecture (BiMOS vs JFET), layout best practices differ - particularly regarding input bias current paths and power supply decoupling.
