Product details
Overview
TLC271CPS from Texas Instruments is a programmable low-power LinCMOS™ operational amplifier in an 8-pin SOIC package (PS suffix), featuring bias-select functionality for tradeoff control between power dissipation and AC performance. It delivers 3.6 V/µs slew rate, 1.7 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 25 nV/√Hz input noise at 1 kHz, 10¹² Ω input impedance, and rail-to-rail output swing down to the negative rail - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor interfaces and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TLC271CPS datasheet, TLC271CPS pinout, TLC271CPS application, or TLC271CPS equivalent, key selection criteria include its three-programmable bias modes (high/medium/low), wide 3–16 V single-supply operation, –0.2 V to 3.5 V common-mode input range extending below ground, and guaranteed 2 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C for the 'C' grade.
Technical Context
The TLC271CPS implements a silicon-gate LinCMOS™ process architecture that enables ultra-high input impedance and low input bias current (0.6 pA typ) while maintaining latch-up immunity and ESD protection up to 2000 V. Its bias-select pin (Pin 5) accepts three voltage thresholds to configure internal current sources for high-speed (3.6 V/µs), medium-power (0.4 V/µs), or ultra-low-power (0.03 V/µs) operation - each with distinct tradeoffs in slew rate, noise, bandwidth, and supply current.
This device operates across 0°C to 70°C (C-suffix), supports single-supply configurations as low as 3 V, and features a common-mode input voltage range that includes the negative rail - making it suitable for transducer interfacing and active filtering where ground-referenced inputs are required without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V - enables direct use with single Li-ion (3.3 V), dual AA (3 V), or industrial 12 V rails without regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 2 mV at 25°C - ensures ≤2 mV DC error in precision DC-coupled amplification stages |
| Slew Rate (high-bias) | 3.6 V/µs - supports ≥100 kHz full-power bandwidth for 1 Vpp signals into 10 kΩ load |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.7 MHz - allows stable closed-loop gain ≥10 up to ~170 kHz with adequate phase margin |
| Input Impedance | 10¹² Ω - minimizes loading on high-impedance sources like piezoelectric sensors or pH electrodes |
| Input Noise Density | 25 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - critical for low-level signal amplification in medical or environmental sensing |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.2 V to 3.5 V (at VDD = 5 V) - permits input signals below ground in single-supply systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (PS suffix), surface-mount, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, 1.27 mm pitch, body size 4.9 × 6.0 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; supports common-mode voltage down to –0.2 V |
| 4 (GND) | Negative supply / reference | Return path for supply and signal; common-mode range extends below this pin |
| 5 (BIAS SELECT) | Bias mode control | Voltage level sets high/medium/low bias current: GND = high, VDD/2 = medium, VDD = low |
| 6 (VDD) | Positive supply | Accepts 3–16 V; internal regulation not required |
| 7 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of rail-to-rail swing to GND; drives ≥10 kΩ loads |
| 8 (OFFSET N2) | Offset null input 2 | Second terminal of external trim potentiometer for offset calibration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable bias-select mode | Selects among three discrete bias currents to optimize speed vs. power: 3.6 V/µs @ 1.6 mA or 0.03 V/µs @ 50 µA |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Drives to GND (0 V) and within 0.2 V of VDD - eliminates need for negative supply in many signal chains |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 0.6 pA typical at 25°C - preserves signal integrity from megohm-range sources like photodiodes or capacitive sensors |
| ESD protection | 2000 V HBM per MIL-STD-883C Method 3015.2 - reduces handling sensitivity during PCB assembly |
| Designed-in latch-up immunity | Robust against transient overvoltage and surge currents up to –100 mA - enhances reliability in noisy industrial environments |

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 8-pin PDIP; identical bias-select architecture and specs per channel | Used when two matched amplifiers are needed in same package (e.g., differential input + reference buffer) | Select TLC272CP when board space allows DIP and dual-channel functionality improves system integration |
| TLV2461CP | Single-supply rail-to-rail I/O op-amp; no bias-select feature; 6.4 V/µs slew rate; 2.2 MHz GBW; higher quiescent current (550 µA) | Preferred for fixed high-speed applications where programmability is unnecessary and rail-to-rail input is required | Choose TLV2461CP only if rail-to-rail input (not just output) is mandatory and bias flexibility is not needed |
Compared with TLC272CP and TLV2461CP, the TLC271CPS uniquely provides user-configurable bias modes in a compact SOIC package - delivering optimal power/performance tradeoffs for portable and energy-constrained designs where dynamic adaptation matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the TLC271CPS?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the TLC271CPS is 18 V, but the recommended operating range is 3 V to 16 V across 0°C to 70°C. Exceeding 16 V may compromise long-term reliability or parametric stability, and operation above 18 V risks permanent damage per the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings table.
How does the BIAS SELECT pin function on the TLC271CPS?
The BIAS SELECT pin (Pin 5) configures internal bias current by voltage level: GND selects high-bias mode (3.6 V/µs, 1.6 mA IDD), VDD/2 selects medium-bias (0.4 V/µs, 525 µA), and VDD selects low-bias (0.03 V/µs, 50 µA). This allows dynamic optimization of speed versus power without changing external components - a core feature of the TLC271CPS design.
Can the TLC271CPS operate with input voltages below ground?
Yes - the TLC271CPS supports a common-mode input voltage range extending to –0.2 V below GND (at VDD = 5 V), verified across its full 0°C to 70°C operating range. This enables true single-supply operation with ground-referenced sensors, eliminating the need for level-shifting circuitry in the TLC271CPS signal path.
What is the purpose of the OFFSET N1 and OFFSET N2 pins on the TLC271CPS?
The OFFSET N1 (Pin 1) and OFFSET N2 (Pin 8) pins provide access to the amplifier's internal offset nulling network. Connecting a 10-kΩ potentiometer between them, with the wiper grounded, allows manual trimming of input offset voltage to <100 µV - essential for high-accuracy DC-coupled applications using the TLC271CPS.
Is the TLC271CPS pin-compatible with other members of the TLC27x family?
Yes - the TLC271CPS shares identical 8-pin SOIC (PS) pinout with all single-channel TLC271 variants (e.g., TLC271BCPS, TLC271IPS), including matching pin functions for OFFSET N1/N2, BIAS SELECT, IN+/IN–, GND, VDD, and OUT. This allows drop-in replacement across grades without layout changes, provided temperature and offset specifications meet system requirements.
