Product details
Overview
TLC27L1ACP from Texas Instruments is a low-power, single-channel LinCMOS operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation in battery-powered and remote sensor systems. It features 10 mV max input offset voltage (25°C), 68 nV/√Hz input noise at 1 kHz, 17 µA typical supply current, and rail-to-rail output swing to negative rail - enabling precision signal conditioning in smoke detectors and field transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the TLC27L1ACP datasheet, TLC27L1ACP pinout, TLC27L1ACP application, or TLC27L1ACP equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low quiescent current, extended common-mode input range below ground, high 10¹² Ω input impedance, and compatibility with 3–16 V supplies across 0°C to 70°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The TLC27L1ACP uses silicon-gate LinCMOS process technology to achieve superior offset-voltage stability versus metal-gate alternatives, with typical 0.1 µV/month drift including first 30 days. Its input stage supports common-mode voltage down to –0.2 V (with VDD = 5 V) and output swings to within 50 mV of negative rail.
It delivers 85 kHz unity-gain bandwidth and 34° phase margin at VDD = 5 V, 25°C, with slew rate of 0.03 V/µs. Internal ESD protection meets MIL-STD-883C, Method 3015.2 (2000 V HBM), and latch-up immunity is designed-in per TI specifications.
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 |
| Supply Current | 17 µA typical at 25°C - enables multi-year battery life in wireless sensors |
| Input Impedance | 10¹² Ω typical - minimizes loading on high-impedance sources like pH or thermocouple sensors |
| Input Noise | 68 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - supports low-level analog signal integrity in transducer interfaces |
| Common-Mode Range | Extends to –0.2 V below negative rail - allows direct interfacing with grounded sensors |
| Output Swing | Reaches within 50 mV of negative rail - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply configurations |
| Unity-Gain BW | 85 kHz at VDD = 5 V - sufficient for slow-varying process signals (e.g., pressure, temperature) |
Pinout & Package
Package: PDIP-8 (Plastic Dual In-line Package, 0.300-inch width).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OFFSET N1) | Offset adjustment / NC | Legacy bias-select pin; unconnected on new silicon - leave floating or tie to GND per layout guidance |
| 2 (IN–) | Inverting input | Differential input node; high-impedance CMOS gate - requires guarding in sensitive layouts |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Differential input node; same impedance as IN– - used for reference or sensor input |
| 4 (GND) | Ground | Negative power rail reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 (OFFSET N2) | Offset adjustment / NC | Legacy bias-select pin; unconnected on new silicon - no external connection required |
| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capacitive-load limited; stable with ≤20 pF - avoid long traces without isolation resistor |
| 7 & 8 (VDD) | Positive supply | Single positive rail (3–16 V); pins 7 and 8 internally bonded - both must be connected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-power operation | 17 µA supply current enables >10-year battery life in 250 µAh coin cells for intermittent sensing |
| Rail-to-negative-rail output | Drives loads to GND in single-supply systems - eliminates need for negative rail in portable designs |
| Extended common-mode range | Accepts inputs 0.2 V below GND - supports direct connection of grounded thermistors or bridge sensors |
| High input impedance | 10¹² Ω minimizes current draw from microamp-level sensor sources (e.g., gas sensors, photodiodes) |
| ESD-protected inputs | Withstands 2000 V HBM - reduces field failure risk during handling and PCB assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L2CP | Dual-channel version in same PDIP-8 package; identical specs per channel but higher total IDD (34 µA typ) | Suitable when two matched amplifiers needed (e.g., instrumentation amp + reference buffer) | Select TLC27L2CP only if dual-channel functionality is required - no pin-to-pin compatibility with TLC27L1ACP |
| LPV521MG/NOPB | Lower supply current (320 nA), lower offset (1.25 mV), but narrower supply range (1.6–5.5 V) and no extended CMVR | Better for ultra-low-power sub-µA systems; unsuitable for 12 V sensor interfaces or below-ground inputs | Choose LPV521MG/NOPB for energy-harvesting or coin-cell apps under 5.5 V; retain TLC27L1ACP for 3–16 V industrial sensors |
Compared with TLC27L2CP and LPV521MG/NOPB, the TLC27L1ACP uniquely balances ultra-low power, wide supply range, and true below-rail input capability - making it optimal for legacy 5–12 V industrial sensor nodes where cost and proven reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TLC27L1ACP?
The TLC27L1ACP is characterized for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This C-suffix grade is intended for commercial and industrial indoor applications where ambient temperatures remain within this range. For extended temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), the TLC27L1IP variant is specified - the TLC27L1ACP itself is not rated beyond +70°C.
Does the TLC27L1ACP support true rail-to-rail input?
No, the TLC27L1ACP does not support rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode input voltage range extends to –0.2 V below GND (negative rail) and up to VDD – 1.5 V (e.g., +3.5 V at VDD = 5 V). While the input accepts voltages below ground, it cannot reach the positive supply rail - unlike modern rail-to-rail input op-amps.
Can the OFFSET N1 and OFFSET N2 pins be left unconnected on the TLC27L1ACP?
Yes - on new silicon revisions of the TLC27L1ACP, OFFSET N1 (pin 1) and OFFSET N2 (pin 5) are non-connected (NC) terminals. They may be left floating, though TI recommends tying them to GND for mechanical stability and noise immunity. Do not apply external offset correction networks unless using legacy silicon (not applicable to current production TLC27L1ACP).
What is the typical input bias current of the TLC27L1ACP at 25°C?
The typical input bias current of the TLC27L1ACP is 0.6 pA at 25°C, with a maximum of 60 pA over temperature. This ultra-low value results from its LinCMOS input stage and enables use with high-impedance sources such as photodiodes, pH electrodes, and ceramic humidity sensors without significant signal error.
Is the TLC27L1ACP compatible with capacitive loads?
The TLC27L1ACP is stable with capacitive loads up to 20 pF when driving directly. For larger loads (e.g., cables or ADC input capacitance), TI recommends adding a series isolation resistor (≥100 Ω) between the OUT pin and the load to maintain phase margin above 30° and prevent oscillation - confirmed in Figure 5-29 of the datasheet.
