Product details
Overview
TLC2252QDR 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 1 pA typical input bias current, enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor interfaces and automotive-grade monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC2252QDR datasheet, TLC2252QDR pinout, TLC2252QDR application, or TLC2252QDR equivalent, this device is selected for micropower analog front-ends requiring rail-to-rail output swing, low-noise amplification of high-impedance sources (e.g., piezoelectric transducers), and operation across –40°C to 125°C with ±2.2 V to ±8 V supply flexibility.
Technical Context
The TLC2252QDR uses Advanced LinCMOS™ process technology to achieve rail-to-rail output swing while maintaining ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typ) and common-mode input voltage range extending to the negative rail. Its architecture supports both single-supply (e.g., 5 V) and split-supply (e.g., ±5 V) configurations without performance degradation.
It features fully specified operation over –40°C to 125°C, with maximum input offset voltage of 1500 µV (TLC2252Q) and 850 µV (TLC2252AQ); the Q-suffix variant is qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100 requirements and includes configuration control and qualification to automotive standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 35 µA per channel - enables multi-year battery life in portable gas sensors and tire pressure monitors. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - preserves signal integrity when amplifying outputs from high-impedance pH electrodes or photodiode arrays. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 19 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - supports low-noise amplification of microvolt-level bio-potential signals in wearable health devices. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swing includes both supply rails - maximizes dynamic range when driving SAR ADCs with 0–5 V input ranges. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes negative rail - allows direct sensing of ground-referenced transducer outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - meets under-hood automotive sensor requirements and industrial process control environments. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1500 µV max (TLC2252Q) - suitable for non-critical gain stages where trimming is not required. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (D package), tape-and-reel (R suffix), RoHS-compliant, rated for automotive temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Inverting amplifier output - drives downstream filter or ADC input with full rail-to-rail swing. |
| 2 | IN1– | Inverting input - accepts feedback network or differential signal path in transimpedance configurations. |
| 3 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input - connects to high-impedance sensor node; benefits from 10¹² Ω common-mode input resistance. |
| 4 | GND / VDD– | Negative supply or ground reference - serves as return path for both amplifiers; supports single- or dual-supply operation. |
| 5 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input (Channel 2) - isolated from Channel 1 for dual-sensor signal chains (e.g., differential thermocouple + RTD). |
| 6 | IN2– | Inverting input (Channel 2) - configurable for unity-gain buffer or precision difference amplifier topologies. |
| 7 | OUT2 | Output (Channel 2) - independently buffered output; no crosstalk with Channel 1 per datasheet characterization. |
| 8 | VDD+ | Positive supply - accepts 2.2 V to 8 V (single) or ±2.2 V to ±8 V (split); internal ESD protection rated to ±2 kV HBM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full 0 V to VDD output range - eliminates need for level-shifting before 12-bit+ SAR ADCs. |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typical - prevents DC error accumulation in integrator circuits used for charge accumulation in radiation detectors. |
| Low-noise performance | 19 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - reduces integrated noise floor below 1 µV RMS in 10 Hz–10 kHz bandwidths for audio preamps. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified (–40°C to 105°C ambient) - approved for engine control module auxiliary signal conditioning. |
| Single- and split-supply support | Fully characterized at 5 V and ±5 V - simplifies design reuse across portable medical (5 V) and industrial PLC (±15 V) platforms. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2432IDR | Higher drive capability (25 mA), wider input voltage range (to VDD– + 0.1 V), but 55 µA supply current per channel. | Better suited for driving capacitive loads (e.g., long cables) or higher-voltage sensor bridges (up to 16 V). | Select TLV2432IDR when output current >10 mA or supply >8 V is required; TLC2252QDR remains optimal for <40 µA ultra-low-power designs. |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture, 2 µV max VIO, 0.1 µV/°C drift, but 17 µA supply current and no rail-to-rail output (clips ~200 mV from rails). | Ideal for precision weight scales or strain gauge bridges where offset stability dominates power concerns. | Choose OPA2333AIDR only when sub-µV offset drift is mandatory; TLC2252QDR provides superior rail-to-rail swing and lower noise in micropower contexts. |
Compared with TLV2432IDR and OPA2333AIDR, the TLC2252QDR uniquely balances rail-to-rail output, 1 pA input bias, and 35 µA supply current - making it the only dual op-amp in its class qualified for automotive temperature range without sacrificing noise or input impedance.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the TLC2252QDR?
The TLC2252QDR supports absolute maximum supply voltages of +8 V on VDD+ and –8 V on VDD–, with recommended operating range of ±2.2 V to ±8 V for split supplies or 4.4 V to 16 V for single-ended supplies. Operation beyond ±8 V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the SLOS176D datasheet.
Does the TLC2252QDR support rail-to-rail input?
No, the TLC2252QDR does not feature rail-to-rail input; its common-mode input voltage range extends to the negative rail but stops 1.5 V below the positive rail (e.g., 0 V to 3.5 V at VDD = 5 V). This limitation is explicitly defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and confirmed across all test conditions in the Electrical Characteristics sections.
Is the TLC2252QDR pin-compatible with the TLC2252CDR?
Yes, the TLC2252QDR and TLC2252CDR share identical 8-pin SOIC (D) package footprints and pin assignments. However, the Q-suffix version is qualified for –40°C to 125°C operation and automotive use, while the C-suffix is rated only for 0°C to 70°C - PCB layout may be reused, but thermal and reliability validation must reflect the target application environment.
What is the typical input offset voltage for the TLC2252QDR?
The TLC2252QDR has a maximum input offset voltage of 1500 µV at 25°C and 1750 µV across the full –40°C to 125°C temperature range. Typical value is 200 µV at 25°C, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics tables for the Q-suffix variants under both 5 V and ±5 V supply conditions.
Can the TLC2252QDR drive a 10 kΩ load at full rail-to-rail swing?
Yes - the TLC2252QDR maintains rail-to-rail output swing into loads ≥10 kΩ, as verified by VOH/VOL specifications showing 4.98 V high-level output and 0.01 V low-level output at VDD = 5 V with IOH/IOL ≤ 20 µA. Driving heavier loads (e.g., 1 kΩ) reduces swing marginally but remains functional per the Output Voltage vs Load graphs in the datasheet.
