Product details
Overview
TLC271BCP from Texas Instruments is a programmable low-power LinCMOS™ operational amplifier in an 8-pin plastic DIP package, featuring 2 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, bias-select mode (high/medium/low), and operation from 3 V to 16 V over 0°C to 70°C. It delivers 3.6 V/µs slew rate and 25 nV/√Hz input noise in high-bias mode, enabling precision transducer interfacing and battery-powered signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the TLC271BCP datasheet, TLC271BCP pinout, TLC271BCP application, or TLC271BCP equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable bias architecture, rail-to-rail output swing capability, input common-mode range extending below the negative rail, and verified performance across single-supply configurations with VDD as low as 3 V.
Technical Context
The TLC271BCP implements a silicon-gate LinCMOS™ process that achieves 10¹² Ω typical input impedance and sub-picoampere input bias current, enabling high-impedance sensor front-ends without external guarding. Its three-level bias-select circuitry allows dynamic tradeoffs between power (50–3375 µW), speed (0.03–3.6 V/µs), and noise (68–25 nV/√Hz) without changing external components.
It supports true single-supply operation with common-mode input voltage range extending to –0.2 V (at VDD = 5 V) and output swing to the negative rail. Internal ESD protection withstands 2000 V per MIL-STD-883C Method 3015.2, and latch-up immunity is designed-in per JEDEC JESD78.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 2 mV at 25°C - enables DC-coupled amplification of mV-level sensor signals without nulling circuitry |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V - supports direct connection to single Li-ion cells (3.0–4.2 V) or industrial 12 V rails |
| Slew Rate (high-bias) | 3.6 V/µs - sufficient for 100 kHz full-power bandwidth with 1 Vpp output into 10 kΩ load |
| Input Noise Density | 25 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - suitable for low-frequency precision instrumentation with <1 µV RMS noise in 10 Hz–10 kHz band |
| Input Impedance | 10¹² Ω typical - prevents loading of high-Z sources like piezoelectric sensors or pH electrodes |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Extends to –0.2 V below GND at VDD = 5 V - allows accurate amplification of signals referenced below ground in single-supply systems |
| Output Swing | Includes negative rail - eliminates need for dual supplies when interfacing with ADCs or logic with ground-referenced inputs |
Pinout & Package
Package: PDIP-8 (Plastic Dual In-line Package), 0.3-inch body width, through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OFFSET N1) | Offset Null Terminal 1 | Connects to potentiometer wiper for manual input offset trimming; required only in ultra-precision applications |
| 2 (IN–) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; high-impedance CMOS gate input with 0.6 pA typical bias current at 25°C |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-Inverting Input | Differential input node; identical electrical characteristics to IN–, supports rail-to-rail common-mode range |
| 4 (GND) | Negative Supply / Ground Reference | Return path for supply current and signal reference; common-mode range extends below this pin |
| 5 (BIAS SELECT) | Bias Mode Control Input | Voltage level (GND = low bias, VDD/2 = medium, VDD = high) selects power/performance operating point |
| 6 (VDD) | Positive Supply | Accepts 3–16 V DC; internal regulation ensures stable bias currents across supply range |
| 7 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Class AB output stage capable of ±30 mA short-circuit current; swings to within 50 mV of GND and 3.8 V below VDD (at VDD = 5 V) |
| 8 (OFFSET N2) | Offset Null Terminal 2 | Second terminal of offset null network; used with Pin 1 and external 10 kΩ potentiometer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC271ACP | 5 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C; otherwise identical pinout, bias-select functionality, and temperature range (0°C to 70°C) | Lower precision requirement; acceptable where sensor output spans >10 mV full scale | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for sub-2 mV offset; same PCB layout and bill-of-materials |
| TLV2462CP | Rail-to-rail input/output; 0.6 mV max VIO; 0.55 mA quiescent current; no bias-select feature; SOIC-8 package | Higher precision and lower noise (19 nV/√Hz), but fixed power/performance and surface-mount only | Choose for new designs requiring better DC accuracy and AC performance, accepting SMT assembly and loss of programmability |
Compared with TLC271ACP and TLV2462CP, the TLC271BCP provides the lowest input offset voltage in the TLC271 family while retaining full bias-select flexibility-making it optimal for upgrade paths from legacy bipolar op-amps where both precision and power adaptability are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the TLC271BCP?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the TLC271BCP is 18 V, but the recommended operating range is 3 V to 16 V across the 0°C to 70°C temperature range. Operation above 16 V risks exceeding internal dissipation limits and may degrade long-term reliability. The TLC271BCP datasheet specifies 16 V as the upper limit for guaranteed parametric performance under all conditions.
How does the BIAS SELECT pin function in the TLC271BCP?
The BIAS SELECT pin on the TLC271BCP sets the amplifier's operating point: grounding the pin enables low-bias mode (50 µW, 0.03 V/µs), connecting it to VDD/2 enables medium-bias mode (525 µW, 0.4 V/µs), and tying it to VDD enables high-bias mode (3375 µW, 3.6 V/µs). This analog-controlled selection allows dynamic optimization of power versus speed without changing external components or firmware.
Can the TLC271BCP operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the TLC271BCP is fully specified for 3 V operation at 0°C to 70°C, including key parameters such as input offset voltage (2 mV max), common-mode input range (–0.2 V to 2.3 V), and output swing (to GND and up to 2.8 V). At 3.3 V, high-bias mode delivers 2.8 V/µs slew rate and 1.2 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, making it suitable for low-voltage IoT sensor nodes.
Does the TLC271BCP require external compensation for stability?
No, the TLC271BCP is unity-gain stable with ≥43° phase margin across all bias modes and supply voltages (3–16 V). It drives capacitive loads up to 100 pF without oscillation when configured as a voltage follower, and maintains stability with 20 pF load at unity gain per Figure 100 in the datasheet. No external compensation components are needed for standard gain configurations.
What is the purpose of the OFFSET N1 and OFFSET N2 pins on the TLC271BCP?
The OFFSET N1 and OFFSET N2 pins on the TLC271BCP provide access to the internal input stage nulling network. Connecting a 10 kΩ potentiometer between these pins-with the wiper grounded-allows manual adjustment of input offset voltage to <100 µV. This trimming is optional and typically used only in high-accuracy DC measurement applications where factory VIO spec (2 mV max) is insufficient.
