Product details
Overview
TLC2252CDR from Texas Instruments is a dual rail-to-rail output, very low-power operational amplifier in an 8-pin SOIC package. It delivers 35 µA per channel supply current, 19 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, and rail-to-rail output swing (±4.8 V at ±5 V supplies), making it ideal for battery-powered sensor signal conditioning and precision analog front-ends interfacing with ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the TLC2252CDR datasheet, TLC2252CDR pinout, TLC2252CDR application, or TLC2252CDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1 pA typical input bias current, 1500 µV max input offset voltage at 25°C, common-mode input range extending to the negative rail, and full specification across 0°C to 70°C for single- or split-supply operation.
Technical Context
The TLC2252CDR uses Advanced LinCMOS™ process technology to achieve micropower operation without sacrificing input impedance or noise performance. Its rail-to-rail output stage enables maximum dynamic range in low-voltage systems, while the input stage supports common-mode voltages down to the negative supply rail - critical for single-supply transducer interfaces.
It features fully characterized AC and DC performance at both 5 V single-supply and ±5 V split-supply conditions, with guaranteed specifications for large-signal voltage gain (≥100 V/mV), CMRR (≥70 dB), and phase margin (63°) under standard load and capacitance conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 70–125 µA total (35–62.5 µA per channel) - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typ - preserves signal integrity when amplifying high-impedance sources like piezoelectric sensors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1500 µV max at 25°C - suitable for medium-precision DC-coupled applications without trimming. |
| Output Swing | Within 200 mV of both rails at ±5 V - maximizes usable ADC input range and dynamic headroom. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 19 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - 4× lower than legacy micropower CMOS op-amps, improving SNR in low-frequency sensing. |
| Common-Mode Range | Extends to VDD– (negative rail) - allows direct interface with ground-referenced transducers in single-supply designs. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 0.2 MHz - supports stable unity-gain buffering and low-frequency filtering up to ~200 kHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power rail-to-rail operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6022-I/SN | Higher supply current (100 µA/channel), lower VIO (250 µV max), same SOIC-8 package. | Better DC precision but higher power; less suitable for ultra-long-life battery systems. | Select when offset drift and long-term stability outweigh micropower requirements. |
| TLV2432IDR | Higher output drive (60 mA), wider input voltage range (to VDD+ – 0.1 V), 100 µA/channel supply current. | Superior for driving capacitive loads or interfacing with wide-VDD ADCs; not optimized for <50 µA/channel systems. | Choose when interfacing with SAR ADCs requiring fast settling or driving >1000 pF traces. |
Compared with MCP6022-I/SN and TLV2432IDR, the TLC2252CDR offers the lowest quiescent current in its class while maintaining rail-to-rail output and sub-pA input bias - making it uniquely suited for energy-constrained, high-impedance sensor nodes where precision is secondary to longevity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the TLC2252CDR?
The TLC2252CDR supports a maximum supply voltage of ±8 V for split-supply operation or 16 V for single-supply configurations. Absolute maximum ratings specify VDD+ ≤ 8 V and VDD– ≥ –8 V relative to midpoint; exceeding these limits risks permanent device damage. Recommended operating range is ±2.2 V to ±8 V or 4.4 V to 16 V, with full characterization at ±5 V and 5 V.
Does the TLC2252CDR support true rail-to-rail input capability?
No - the TLC2252CDR features rail-to-rail *output* swing but only extends its common-mode input voltage range to the negative rail (VDD–). The positive end is limited to VDD+ – 1.5 V under recommended conditions. This architecture enables excellent performance with ground-referenced sensors while retaining CMOS input benefits like ultra-low bias current.
Can the TLC2252CDR drive capacitive loads directly?
The TLC2252CDR is stable with capacitive loads up to 100 pF when configured for unity gain, as verified by 63° phase margin measurements. For larger loads (e.g., ADC input capacitors >200 pF), external isolation resistance (≥100 Ω) or gain ≥ 2 is required to maintain stability. Always verify loop response using the provided macromodel in SPICE simulations before layout.
How does the input offset voltage of the TLC2252CDR compare to the TLC2252ACDR variant?
The TLC2252CDR has a maximum input offset voltage of 1500 µV at 25°C, whereas the TLC2252ACDR (A-grade) is specified at 850 µV max under identical conditions. Both share the same package, pinout, and temperature range (0°C to 70°C), but the A-grade version undergoes tighter factory screening for lower VIO - critical for DC-coupled applications demanding higher initial accuracy.
Is the TLC2252CDR suitable for automotive applications?
The TLC2252CDR is not qualified for automotive use; it is rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) only. For automotive applications, TI offers the TLC2252QDR (Q-grade, –40°C to 125°C) and TLC2252AQDR (A-grade Q-version), both qualified to AEC-Q100 standards and featuring enhanced reliability testing, configuration control, and extended temperature validation.
