Product details
Overview
TLC271CP from Texas Instruments is a programmable low-power LinCMOS™ operational amplifier in an 8-pin plastic DIP package, featuring bias-select mode (high/medium/low), 10 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, 3.6 V/µs slew rate in high-bias mode, and rail-to-rail output swing down to the negative rail - used in precision sensor signal conditioning for industrial temperature monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC271CP datasheet, TLC271CP pinout, TLC271CP application, or TLC271CP equivalent, key selection considerations include its programmable bias modes for tradeoffs between power (50–3375 µW), ac performance (0.03–3.6 V/µs slew rate), noise (25–68 nV/√Hz), and unity-gain bandwidth (0.09–1.7 MHz) across 0°C to 70°C operation.
Technical Context
The TLC271CP implements a silicon-gate LinCMOS™ process enabling 10¹² Ω typical input impedance and sub-picoampere input bias current, with internal ESD protection rated to 2000 V per MIL-STD-883C Method 3015.2. Its bias-select pin accepts three voltage levels (GND, midpoint, VDD) to configure high/medium/low operating modes without external components.
It supports single-supply operation from 3 V to 16 V over 0°C to 70°C, with common-mode input range extending 0.2 V below the negative rail. The device exhibits latch-up immunity and includes two offset null terminals (OFFSET N1/N2) for precision trimming in high-accuracy analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 10 mV at 25°C - sets baseline dc error in precision amplification stages |
| Slew Rate (high-bias) | 3.6 V/µs at VDD = 5 V - enables stable gain-of-100 amplification up to ~36 kHz |
| Supply Current (high-bias) | 1600 µA typical at 25°C - balances speed and power in battery-constrained designs |
| Input Impedance | 10¹² Ω typical - minimizes loading on high-Z sources like piezoelectric sensors |
| Common-Mode Range | Extends 0.2 V below negative rail - supports true single-supply transducer interfacing |
| Output Swing | Includes negative rail - allows full-scale output near ground in 3.3 V or 5 V systems |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - reduces need for external protection in board-level ESD zones |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable low-power op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC272CP | Dual-channel version in same PDIP-8 package; identical bias-select architecture and 10 mV VIO grade | Reduces board space in dual-amplifier circuits (e.g., inverting + non-inverting paths), but shares supply and thermal environment | Select when needing two matched amplifiers with synchronized bias control and shared layout footprint |
| TLV2462CP | Rail-to-rail input/output, 600 µA supply current, no bias-select feature; 2.5 mV VIO max; SOIC-8 only | Lacks programmability but offers lower noise (22 nV/√Hz) and better ac specs - suited for fixed-performance, low-voltage (2.7 V) designs | Select when bias flexibility is unnecessary and rail-to-rail input is required for 0–VDD signal acquisition |
Compared with TLC272CP and TLV2462CP, the TLC271CP provides unique bias-select configurability in a single-channel PDIP-8 format, enabling optimized power/performance tradeoffs per stage - critical for mixed-signal systems where some channels demand speed while others prioritize ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the TLC271CP?
The TLC271CP supports an absolute maximum supply voltage of 18 V, with recommended operation from 3 V to 16 V across its 0°C to 70°C temperature range. Exceeding 18 V risks permanent damage per the absolute maximum ratings table in the SLOS090D datasheet. At 16 V, the device maintains full specification compliance including output swing and slew rate.
How does the BIAS SELECT pin configure operating modes on the TLC271CP?
The TLC271CP BIAS SELECT pin configures high/medium/low bias modes by applying GND (low), VDD/2 (medium), or VDD (high). In single-supply systems, a resistive divider generates the midpoint voltage; large-value resistors minimize current draw but require careful RC time constant design to avoid startup delay. Each mode alters power dissipation, slew rate, noise, and bandwidth as documented in Table 1 of the datasheet.
Can the TLC271CP operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the TLC271CP is fully specified for single-supply operation down to 3 V at 0°C to 70°C. At 3.3 V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing (0 V to ~3.1 V), common-mode input range from –0.2 V to ~3.1 V, and maintains 10 mV max input offset voltage. Slew rate drops to ~1.8 V/µs in high-bias mode, sufficient for ≤100 kHz signal conditioning.
What is the purpose of the OFFSET N1 and OFFSET N2 pins on the TLC271CP?
The TLC271CP uses OFFSET N1 (Pin 1) and OFFSET N2 (Pin 8) to connect an external 10-kΩ potentiometer for manual input offset voltage nulling. This calibration corrects initial VIO errors - critical in precision applications like weigh scales or medical sensors where 10 mV max VIO must be reduced to <100 µV. The potentiometer wiper connects to OFFSET N1, and both ends tie to OFFSET N2 and VDD/GND as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
Does the TLC271CP support rail-to-rail input operation?
No, the TLC271CP does not support rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode input voltage range extends 0.2 V below the negative rail (GND) but only up to VDD – 1.5 V at 5 V supply - verified in the "Common-mode input voltage range" parameter tables for C-suffix devices. For true rail-to-rail input, consider TI's TLV246x or OPA344 families instead.
