Product details
Overview
TLC2252AQDR from Texas Instruments is a dual rail-to-rail output, very low-power operational amplifier optimized for automotive-grade applications. It delivers 35 µA per channel supply current, 19 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, and 850 µV maximum input offset voltage at 25°C, enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor interfaces and analog front-ends interfacing with ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the TLC2252AQDR datasheet, TLC2252AQDR pinout, TLC2252AQDR application, or TLC2252AQDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q-temp automotive qualification (–40°C to +125°C), rail-to-rail output swing, ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typ), and compatibility with single-supply (2.2 V to 8 V) or split-supply (±2.2 V to ±8 V) operation.
Technical Context
The TLC2252AQDR uses Advanced LinCMOS™ process technology to achieve rail-to-rail output swing while maintaining micropower operation. Its input stage supports common-mode voltage down to the negative rail, and it features fully specified performance across automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) under both single- and split-supply conditions.
Designed as a performance upgrade to TS27L2/L4 and TLC27L2/L4, the device integrates high input impedance (>10¹² Ω), low noise, and low offset drift (0.5 µV/°C), making it suitable for high-impedance source amplification-e.g., piezoelectric transducers-and precision DC-coupled monitoring circuits where power and accuracy are jointly constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 35 µA per channel - enables multi-year battery life in portable and remote sensing systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 850 µV max at 25°C - supports accurate DC amplification without frequent calibration in automotive sensor signal chains. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - preserves signal integrity when amplifying from ultra-high-impedance sources like pH electrodes or photodiodes. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 19 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - improves SNR in low-level analog signal conditioning versus prior micropower CMOS op-amps. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swing includes both supply rails - maximizes dynamic range when driving SAR or delta-sigma ADCs from single 3.3 V or 5 V supplies. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and transmission control module applications per AEC-Q100 stress requirements. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes negative rail - allows direct interface with ground-referenced sensors without level-shifting circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2432IDR | Higher drive capability (25 mA), wider supply range (2.7 V to 6 V), but higher quiescent current (550 µA/ch) and no automotive temp grade. | Better suited for active filter or line-driver roles; not qualified for under-hood use. | Select TLV2432IDR only if output current >10 mA or bandwidth >1 MHz is required; avoid for battery-critical or automotive-qualified designs. |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture, 2 µV max VIO, 0.02 µV/°C drift, but 17 µA/ch supply current and limited rail-to-rail output swing (within 10 mV of rails). | Superior for ultra-precision DC measurements; less ideal for wide-dynamic-range ADC driving. | Choose OPA2333AIDR when sub-µV offset stability dominates over output swing or power; verify output headroom margins with target ADC. |
Compared with TLV2432IDR and OPA2333AIDR, the TLC2252AQDR uniquely balances automotive qualification, rail-to-rail output, ultra-low power (35 µA/ch), and 1 pA input bias-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding, battery-constrained automotive analog front-ends where moderate precision suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the TLC2252AQDR?
The TLC2252AQDR supports a maximum supply voltage of ±8 V in split-supply mode or 8 V in single-supply operation. Absolute maximum ratings specify VDD+ ≤ 8 V and VDD– ≥ –8 V. Exceeding these values risks permanent damage. Operation within recommended conditions (±2.2 V to ±8 V or 2.2 V to 8 V) ensures guaranteed performance across –40°C to +125°C.
Does the TLC2252AQDR have rail-to-rail input capability?
No, the TLC2252AQDR features rail-to-rail *output* swing but only extends its common-mode input voltage range to the negative rail (VDD–/GND). The positive end is limited to VDD+ – 1.5 V under recommended operating conditions. This allows ground-referenced sensor inputs but requires level-shifting for signals near the positive rail.
Is the TLC2252AQDR pin-compatible with the standard TLC2252CDR?
Yes, the TLC2252AQDR shares identical SOIC-8 (D) package footprint and pinout with TLC2252CDR and other D-package variants. However, the 'Q' suffix denotes Q-temp automotive qualification (–40°C to +125°C operation, enhanced reliability testing), while 'C' is commercial grade (0°C to 70°C). PCB layout is interchangeable, but thermal and lifetime validation differs.
What is the typical input bias current of the TLC2252AQDR?
The typical input bias current of the TLC2252AQDR is 1 pA at 25°C, with a maximum of 100 pA across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This ultra-low value is enabled by Advanced LinCMOS™ process technology and makes the device suitable for interfacing with high-impedance sources such as piezoelectric sensors, pH electrodes, and photodiode transimpedance stages.
Can the TLC2252AQDR drive a 10 kΩ load across the full temperature range?
Yes, the TLC2252AQDR can drive a 10 kΩ load across –40°C to +125°C while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing and specified AC performance. Its output stage is rated for ±50 mA short-circuit current, and typical output voltage swing remains within 100 mV of each rail into 10 kΩ at 25°C. Load regulation and thermal effects are within specification limits for this load under all recommended operating conditions.
