Product details
Overview
TLC2252QD from Texas Instruments is a dual rail-to-rail output, very low-power operational amplifier designed for precision signal conditioning in automotive and industrial environments. It delivers 35 µA per channel supply current, 19 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, 1 pA typical input bias current, and rail-to-rail output swing across ±2.2 V to ±8 V supplies - enabling high dynamic range in battery-powered sensor interfaces and ADC drivers.
For engineers reviewing the TLC2252QD datasheet, TLC2252QD pinout, TLC2252QD application, or TLC2252QD equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q-temp automotive qualification (–40°C to 125°C), 850 µV max input offset voltage (TLC2252AQD variant), ultra-low power consumption, and compatibility with single- or split-supply systems requiring wide common-mode input range down to the negative rail.
Technical Context
The TLC2252QD employs Advanced LinCMOS™ process technology to achieve rail-to-rail output swing while maintaining micropower operation. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages extending to the negative supply rail, and it is fully specified for both single-supply (e.g., 5 V) and split-supply (e.g., ±5 V) configurations.
It features a 0.2 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 63° phase margin, and 15 dB gain margin under unity-gain conditions with 50 kΩ load and 100 pF capacitance - ensuring stable operation in low-frequency precision circuits without external compensation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2432IDR | Higher supply current (125 µA/ch), wider GBW (1.8 MHz), higher drive capability (25 mA) | Better suited for active filters or higher-speed sensor interfaces where bandwidth >100 kHz is required | Select TLV2432IDR when slew rate (0.5 V/µs) and output drive exceed TLC2252QD's capabilities |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture, 2 µV max VIO, 0.1 µV/°C drift, but higher quiescent current (17 µA/ch) | Preferred for ultra-precision DC-coupled applications (e.g., weigh scales, strain gauges) demanding sub-µV offset stability | Choose OPA2333AIDR only when long-term DC accuracy outweighs micropower priority |
Compared with TLV2432IDR and OPA2333AIDR, the TLC2252QD provides the lowest power consumption and widest temperature range among these three - making it optimal for automotive and battery-constrained industrial designs where offset voltage ≤850 µV is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the TLC2252QD?
The TLC2252QD supports a maximum supply voltage of ±8 V for split-supply operation or up to 16 V for single-supply use. Absolute maximum ratings specify VDD+ ≤ 8 V and VDD– ≥ –8 V relative to midpoint; exceeding these limits risks permanent device damage. Recommended operating range remains ±2.2 V to ±8 V, validated across its full –40°C to 125°C temperature range.
Does the TLC2252QD have rail-to-rail input capability?
No, the TLC2252QD features rail-to-rail *output* swing but only extends its common-mode input voltage range to the negative supply rail (VDD–). The positive end is limited to VDD+ – 1.5 V under recommended conditions. This architecture enables ground-referenced sensor interfacing in single-supply systems while maintaining precision and low power - distinct from full rail-to-rail input op-amps that require more supply headroom.
How does the TLC2252QD differ from the standard TLC2252CD?
The TLC2252QD differs from the TLC2252CD primarily in temperature rating and qualification: TLC2252QD is Q-temp automotive-grade (–40°C to 125°C) with configuration control and AEC-Q100 alignment, whereas TLC2252CD is commercial-grade (0°C to 70°C). Both share identical electrical specs including 35 µA/channel supply current and 19 nV/√Hz noise, but only TLC2252QD guarantees performance and reliability in under-hood automotive applications.
Can the TLC2252QD drive capacitive loads directly?
The TLC2252QD is stable with up to 100 pF capacitive load under unity-gain conditions (63° phase margin, 15 dB gain margin), as verified in the datasheet. For loads exceeding 100 pF - such as ADC input capacitance plus PCB trace capacitance - external isolation resistance (e.g., 10–50 Ω in series with output) is recommended to maintain stability and prevent peaking or oscillation in precision measurement paths.
Is there a single-amplifier version of the TLC2252QD?
No, Texas Instruments does not offer a Q-temp qualified single-amplifier variant of the TLC2252QD. However, the TLV2211 family (e.g., TLV2211IDBVR) provides rail-to-rail input/output, micropower operation (1 µA), and –40°C to 125°C rating in SOT-23 - serving as a functional alternative for space-constrained designs needing single-channel amplification with comparable environmental robustness.
