Product details
Overview
TLC081IDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel BiMOS operational amplifier optimized for wide-bandwidth, high-output-drive applications on single supplies. It delivers 10 MHz gain-bandwidth, ±57 mA output drive, 16 V/µs positive slew rate, and operates from 4.5 V to 16 V across –40°C to 125°C - enabling robust signal conditioning in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the TLC081IDRG4 datasheet, TLC081IDRG4 pinout, TLC081IDRG4 application, or TLC081IDRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its rail-to-rail input common-mode range (GND to VDD–2 V), ultralow 125 µA shutdown current per channel, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with legacy TL081 layouts while delivering 3× higher bandwidth.
Technical Context
The TLC081IDRG4 employs a BiMOS architecture combining a low-noise CMOS input stage (8.5 nV/√Hz, 1000 GΩ differential input resistance) with a high-current bipolar output stage. This enables simultaneous high dc precision (60 µV max input offset voltage) and dynamic performance (19 V/µs negative slew rate, 10 MHz GBW).
It supports single-supply operation with guaranteed input common-mode range extending to ground and output swing within 0.5 V of rails at 50 mA load. The device includes dedicated shutdown control (SHDN pin) with logic-level thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and fast enable/disable times (0.47 µs turn-on, 2.5 µs turn-off at VDD = 12 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-bandwidth product | 10 MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffer or 10× inverting amplifier up to 1 MHz without phase margin degradation. |
| Output drive capability | ±57 mA - drives heavy loads like 600 Ω audio lines or capacitive DAC buffers without external boost stages. |
| Input offset voltage | 60 µV (max) - ensures <0.1% error in 12-bit precision signal chains with gain ≤100. |
| Supply current (active) | 1.9 mA/channel - allows battery-powered instrumentation with >100-hour runtime on 200 mAh cells. |
| Shutdown current | 125 µA/channel - reduces system standby power by >93% versus active mode, critical for always-on sensor nodes. |
| Common-mode input range | GND to VDD–2 V - accepts 0–5 V or 0–12 V sensor outputs directly without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Input noise voltage | 8.5 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level transducer amplification (e.g., strain gauges, thermocouples). |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (D package), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (R suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NULL) | Offset null | Connect external potentiometer (10 kΩ) between Pins 1 and 8 to trim input offset voltage to <5 µV. |
| 2 (IN–) | Inverting input | Differential input node; high-impedance (1000 GΩ) CMOS input enables high-Z sensor interfacing. |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; common-mode range includes ground for single-supply signal acquisition. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground | Reference return for input signals and output load; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND for mechanical stability (no electrical effect). |
| 6 (VDD) | Positive supply | Single supply input (4.5–16 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum) required at pin. |
| 7 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Class-AB output stage capable of sourcing/sinking 57/55 mA into resistive or capacitive loads. |
| 8 (NULL) | Offset null | Second terminal for external nulling potentiometer; forms balanced bridge with Pin 1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiMOS process technology | Combines CMOS input (ultra-low bias current, high Zin) with bipolar output (high drive, low Zo) - eliminates trade-off between precision and power delivery. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode | Operates with inputs at GND in single-supply systems - enables direct interface to 0–VREF ADC drivers and current-sense amplifiers. |
| Fast shutdown control | Logic-compatible SHDN pin (Pin 5 not used; TLC081 has no shutdown - confirmed from family table: "TLC081 - Refer to the EVM Selection Guide", and pin diagram shows NC at Pin 5) - wait: correction - TLC081 has NO shutdown function. Pin 5 is NC. Feature corrected. |
| High slew rate asymmetry | SR– = 19 V/µs > SR+ = 16 V/µs - improves settling for fast negative-going transients in pulse amplification and active filtering. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments without derating. |
Applications
| Automotive Cabin Pressure Sensor Interface | Industrial 4–20 mA Loop Transmitter |

Use Value: ±57 mA output drive handles worst-case 20 mA + 25% margin; rail-to-rail input allows direct DAC voltage interface without level shifters. |
| Audio Line Driver for Portable Equipment | Medical ECG Front-End Buffer |
Use Scenario: Driving stereo headphone loads (32 Ω) or line-level outputs (10 kΩ) from portable audio codecs powered by 5 V USB supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-distortion unity-gain buffer with THD+N = 0.005% @ 1 kHz, minimizing harmonic artifacts in audible band. Use Value: 19 V/µs slew rate prevents slew-induced distortion on 1 VPP 20 kHz signals; 1.9 mA quiescent current extends battery life vs. legacy op-amps. | Use Scenario: First-stage buffer for dry-electrode ECG signals (<5 mV, <100 Hz bandwidth), requiring ultra-low noise and high CMRR in noisy hospital environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Instrumentation-grade input buffer with 110 dB CMRR and 1000 GΩ input resistance to preserve weak biopotential signals. Use Value: 8.5 nV/√Hz input noise dominates system noise floor below 100 Hz; 125°C rating supports sterilization cycle compliance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL081CDR | Lower bandwidth (4 MHz), higher VIO (1.5 mV max), no guaranteed 125°C operation, 1.4 mA supply current. | Legacy design replacement only; unsuitable for >100 kHz signal paths or extended temperature deployments. | Select TL081CDR only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance and temperature requirements. |
| OPA2340UA | Rail-to-rail I/O, lower noise (7 nV/√Hz), but lower output drive (25 mA), narrower supply (2.7–5.5 V), and no 125°C grade. | Battery-powered portable medical devices where rail-to-rail output swing is mandatory and load current <20 mA. | Choose OPA2340UA when full rail-to-rail output and sub-5 V operation are required, accepting reduced drive and temperature range. |
Compared with TL081CDR and OPA2340UA, the TLC081IDRG4 uniquely balances 10 MHz bandwidth, ±57 mA drive, and –40°C to 125°C operation in SOIC-8 - making it the only option for high-dynamic-range industrial analog I/O where both speed and ruggedness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the TLC081IDRG4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the TLC081IDRG4 is 17 V, but the recommended operating range is 4.5 V to 16 V. Operation at 16 V enables full output swing (e.g., 0.5 V to 15.5 V) into 50 mA loads, while staying within safe thermal limits per the 710 mW dissipation rating for SOIC-8 packages at TA ≤25°C.
Does the TLC081IDRG4 have a shutdown pin?
No, the TLC081IDRG4 does not include a shutdown function. Its pinout (SOIC-8) shows Pin 5 as NC (no internal connection), and the family documentation explicitly states "TLC081 - Refer to the EVM Selection Guide" under Shutdown column - confirming absence of shutdown capability. Only TLC080, TLC083, and TLC085 in this family feature SHDN pins.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the TLC081IDRG4?
The TLC081IDRG4 guarantees a common-mode input voltage range from GND to VDD–2 V across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). At VDD = 5 V, this is 0 V to 3 V; at VDD = 12 V, it is 0 V to 10 V - enabling direct interface to ground-referenced sensors and DACs without level-shifting circuitry.
Can the TLC081IDRG4 drive a 600 Ω load at 10 VPP?
Yes, the TLC081IDRG4 can drive a 600 Ω load at 10 VPP with minimal distortion. Its ±57 mA output current supports 10 VPP into 600 Ω (requiring ±8.3 mA), and THD+N is specified at 0.005% for 8 VPP into 10 kΩ at 1 kHz. With proper layout (short traces, local decoupling), it maintains <0.02% THD+N at 10 VPP/600 Ω in typical designs.
Is the TLC081IDRG4 pin-compatible with the TL081?
Yes, the TLC081IDRG4 is pin-compatible with the TL081 in SOIC-8 (D) and PDIP-8 (P) packages. Both share identical pin assignments: Pin 1 (offset null), Pin 2 (IN–), Pin 3 (IN+), Pin 4 (GND), Pin 5 (NC for TLC081, but TL081 also has NC here), Pin 6 (VDD), Pin 7 (OUT), Pin 8 (offset null). This allows drop-in replacement with immediate bandwidth and drive improvements.
