Product details
Overview
TLC272BCP from Texas Instruments is a precision dual CMOS operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation, featuring 2 mV max input offset voltage (25°C), 10.8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, and rail-to-rail output swing down to the negative rail. It operates from 3 V to 16 V over 0°C–70°C and delivers 4.5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth with 0.5 V/μs slew rate - used in sensor signal conditioning, industrial analog front-ends, and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TLC272BCP datasheet, TLC272BCP pinout, TLC272BCP application, or TLC272BCP equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage grade (B-grade = 2 mV), common-mode input range extending below ground, low bias current (<60 pA), and PDIP-8 package compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
The TLC272BCP uses a polysilicon-gate CMOS process to achieve high input impedance (>10¹² Ω), ultra-low input bias current (10–60 pA), and stable offset voltage drift (0.3 μV/°C). Its input stage supports single-supply operation with common-mode voltage range from –0.1 V to VDD–1 V (25°C), enabling direct interfacing with grounded sensors and microcontroller ADC references.
It integrates ESD protection circuitry and latch-up immunity, and its output drives 10 kΩ loads while maintaining 65–80 dB CMRR and 65–120 dB supply-voltage rejection across temperature. The device is not rail-to-rail input but supports input voltages below the negative rail - critical for true single-supply transducer amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV max at 25°C - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification of mV-level sensor outputs without nulling circuitry |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V systems including TTL/HCMOS logic rails |
| Input Bias Current | 10–60 pA typical - permits use of >1 MΩ feedback networks without significant error in high-impedance pH or photodiode circuits |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 4.5 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters up to ~200 kHz and fast-settling data acquisition stages |
| Slew Rate | 0.5 V/μs - limits full-scale step response to ~4 μs for 2 Vpp signals, suitable for medium-speed control loops |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Extends 0.1 V below negative rail - allows direct amplification of unipolar transducer outputs referenced to ground |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 50 mV of negative rail and within 50 mV of positive rail (at 10 kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply configurations |
Pinout & Package
The TLC272BCP is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with 9.81 mm × 9.43 mm footprint, designed for through-hole mounting and manual prototyping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output A | Amplifier A output - drives external load; capable of sourcing/sinking ±30 mA, swings to within 50 mV of rails |
| 2 | Inverting Input A | High-impedance (≥10¹² Ω) node for feedback or signal inversion; sensitive to PCB leakage above 100 fA |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input A | High-impedance reference or sensor input; common-mode range includes ground for single-supply biasing |
| 4 | V– (GND) | Negative supply terminal - serves as circuit ground reference; all inputs and outputs referenced to this pin |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input B | Independent high-Z input for second channel; identical specs to Pin 3, supports dual-channel signal processing |
| 6 | Inverting Input B | Second amplifier inverting input - used for differential gain stages or independent signal paths |
| 7 | Output B | Amplifier B output - electrically isolated from Output A; shares same supply pins and thermal environment |
| 8 | V+ (VDD) | Positive supply terminal - accepts 3–16 V; total supply current ≤3.6 mA (two amps, 25°C) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply optimized architecture | Enables direct operation from 3 V batteries or 5 V logic rails without split supplies or level-shifting circuitry |
| Input common-mode range below ground | Allows amplification of 0–VREF sensor outputs (e.g., thermocouples, strain gauges) without external bias resistors |
| Low input voltage noise (10.8 nV/√Hz) | Preserves SNR in high-gain, low-frequency sensor interfaces where thermal noise dominates |
| ESD-protection circuitry | Withstands ≥2 kV HBM per JESD22-A114 - reduces field failure risk during handling and board assembly |
| Latch-up immunity | Guarantees no destructive latch-up under normal operating conditions, even with transient overvoltage on inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC272CP | Higher input offset voltage (10 mV max), same package and pinout | Lower-cost option where <2 mV offset is not required, e.g., non-critical comparator hysteresis or LED drivers | Select TLC272CP only when system-level accuracy tolerances exceed ±5 mV at room temperature |
| TLV272IP | Lower supply current (1.25 mA typ), rail-to-rail input, but 3.5 mV VIO and narrower supply range (2.7–16 V) | Better suited for ultra-low-power designs with R-R input requirements, but less precise DC performance | Choose TLV272IP when battery life is prioritized over DC accuracy, and input signals span full supply range |
Compared with TLC272CP and TLV272IP, the TLC272BCP provides the tightest input offset specification (2 mV) in the TLC272 family while retaining PDIP-8 compatibility and proven industrial temperature stability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, accuracy-critical analog signal chains where layout reuse is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum input offset voltage specification for TLC272BCP at 25°C?
The TLC272BCP has a maximum input offset voltage of 2 mV at 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the B-grade C-suffix variant. This value is guaranteed across production lots and forms the basis for DC accuracy in precision amplification stages. The TLC272BCP maintains this grade across its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), with worst-case drift limited to 0.3 μV/°C.
Does TLC272BCP support true rail-to-rail input operation?
No, the TLC272BCP does not support rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode input voltage range extends 0.1 V below the negative rail (ground) but only up to VDD – 1 V at 25°C - not to the positive rail. This design enables single-supply operation with grounded sensors while maintaining CMOS input stage integrity. For full rail-to-rail input, consider TI's TLV272IP or OPA2333, which are not pin-compatible with TLC272BCP.
Can TLC272BCP operate from a 3.3 V supply in industrial environments?
Yes, the TLC272BCP is fully specified for 3 V minimum supply voltage across the 0°C to 70°C range, making it compatible with standard 3.3 V logic rails. At 3.3 V, it delivers usable output swing (within 50 mV of both rails), 4.5 MHz bandwidth, and maintains input bias current below 60 pA. However, slew rate drops to ~0.3 V/μs and output drive capability decreases - verify load and settling time requirements in final design.
What is the recommended bypassing strategy for TLC272BCP in noise-sensitive applications?
TI recommends a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to Pins 4 (GND) and 8 (VDD) of the TLC272BCP, with short, low-inductance traces. For mixed-signal systems sharing supply rails with digital ICs, add a 10 μF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor upstream. Avoid shared ground paths between analog and digital sections; use star grounding and guard rings around input traces to mitigate leakage currents that could exceed the device's 60 pA bias current.
Is TLC272BCP pin-compatible with legacy dual op-amps like LM358 or TL072?
The TLC272BCP shares the standard 8-pin PDIP pinout with LM358 and TL072 (Pin 1 = Out A, Pin 2 = Inv A, Pin 3 = Non-Inv A, Pin 4 = V–, Pin 5 = Non-Inv B, Pin 6 = Inv B, Pin 7 = Out B, Pin 8 = V+), enabling direct socket replacement. However, differences in input structure (CMOS vs bipolar/JFET), offset voltage, and supply current require verification of loop stability, bias network values, and thermal dissipation in the target application before substitution.
