Product details
Overview
TLE2021ACD from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, precision operational amplifier using the Excalibur bipolar process, delivering 2 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 0.65 V/µs slew rate, and 100 µV max input offset voltage at ±15 V supply. It operates across –40°C to +85°C (commercial grade), supports rail-to-rail common-mode input down to the negative rail, and features phase-reversal protection-making it suitable for low-level signal conditioning in industrial sensor interfaces and precision analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2021ACD datasheet, TLE2021ACD pinout, TLE2021ACD application, or TLE2021ACD equivalent, key selection criteria include its military-grade stability (M-suffix variants), low 300 µA supply current, 19 nV/√Hz input noise, and compatibility with both single-supply (5 V) and split-supply (±15 V) configurations in high-reliability analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The TLE2021ACD employs a complementary bipolar Excalibur process with isolated vertical PNP transistors, enabling improved unity-gain bandwidth and slew rate versus legacy OP21-class amplifiers. Its bias circuit ensures stable dc parameters over temperature and time-critical for long-term calibration integrity in measurement systems.
Phase-reversal protection prevents output polarity inversion when inputs fall below the negative supply rail, and the common-mode input range includes the negative rail under ±15 V operation-enabling direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 300 µA max - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed instrumentation and portable test equipment. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 2 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥1 up to 2 MHz, sufficient for anti-aliasing filters and medium-speed data acquisition. |
| Slew Rate | 0.65 V/µs - allows clean reproduction of 100 kHz full-scale sine waves at 1 Vpp without distortion. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 100 µV max - ensures ≤0.002% error in 5 V full-scale 16-bit ADC front-ends without trimming. |
| Input Noise Voltage | 19 nV/√Hz - contributes <1.2 µVrms integrated noise in 10 Hz–10 kHz band, critical for microvolt-level sensor amplification. |
| Common-Mode Range | Includes negative rail (–15 V) - permits direct connection of single-ended transducer outputs referenced to system ground. |
Pinout & Package
The TLE2021ACD is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, with thermal pad exposed on bottom per TI packaging standard. Pin 1 is OFFSET N1 (offset null), Pin 2 is IN–, Pin 3 is IN+, Pin 4 is VCC–/GND, Pin 5 is OFFSET N2, Pin 6 is OUT, Pin 7 is VCC+, and Pin 8 is NC (no connect).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OFFSET N1 | Offset null adjustment terminal-used with external potentiometer to trim input offset voltage to zero. |
| 2 | IN– | Inverting input-accepts feedback network and differential signal inputs in standard op-amp configurations. |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input-connects to reference, sensor, or signal source in follower or summing topologies. |
| 4 | VCC– / GND | Negative supply or ground reference-supports single-supply (5 V) or dual-supply (±15 V) operation. |
| 5 | OFFSET N2 | Second offset null terminal-completes external trim circuit with Pin 1 for precision DC accuracy. |
| 6 | OUT | Amplified output-drives loads up to ±20 mA with rail-swing capability (±13.6 V at ±15 V supply). |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply-accepts 5 V or ±15 V; internal regulation ensures stable bias under supply variation. |
| 8 | NC | No connect-internally unconnected; must remain floating per TI design guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Phase-reversal protection | Prevents output polarity flip when IN– or IN+ drops below VCC–, eliminating latch-up risk in sensor fault conditions. |
| Low offset drift | 0.005 µV/month-ensures <1 µV total drift over 10 years, supporting unattended calibration in environmental monitoring systems. |
| Stable parameters over temp/time | ΔICC ≤10 µA over –40°C to +85°C-maintains consistent power budget and thermal profile in sealed enclosures. |
| Rail-included common-mode range | Operates with inputs at VCC–-eliminates need for input biasing resistors in ground-referenced thermocouple or strain gauge circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | High-Accuracy Data Acquisition Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA277UA | Lower 0.1 µV/°C offset drift vs. TLE2021ACD's 2 µV/°C; higher 600 µA supply current; no phase-reversal protection. | Better long-term stability but lacks fault tolerance for sensor inputs that may go below ground. | Select OPA277UA where ultra-low drift dominates over fault robustness and power constraints. |
| LM7321MA | Higher 20 MHz GBW and 20 V/µs slew rate; rail-to-rail output; 1.2 mA supply current; not specified for extended temperature. | Superior speed and output swing, but unsuitable for military-temperature or ultra-low-power deployments. | Select LM7321MA for high-speed, single-supply applications where power and temperature range are secondary. |
Compared with OPA277UA and LM7321MA, the TLE2021ACD uniquely balances low power (300 µA), phase-reversal immunity, and extended temperature capability-making it optimal for ruggedized, battery-constrained precision analog systems requiring decades-long calibration stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TLE2021ACD?
The TLE2021ACD is rated for commercial operation from –40°C to +85°C. While M-suffix variants (e.g., TLE2021AM) are characterized over –55°C to +125°C, the 'C' suffix explicitly denotes the commercial temperature grade per TI's ordering nomenclature and datasheet Section 5.3.
Does the TLE2021ACD support single-supply operation at 5 V?
Yes, the TLE2021ACD is fully specified for 5 V single-supply operation per Section 5.4 of the datasheet, with guaranteed common-mode input range of 0 V to 3.2 V and output swing from 0.7 V to 4.3 V into 10 kΩ load-enabling direct use in microcontroller-based analog systems.
How does phase-reversal protection work in the TLE2021ACD?
The TLE2021ACD integrates internal circuitry that clamps input differential voltage and disables output stage conduction when either input falls below VCC–, preventing the output from reversing polarity-a known failure mode in conventional op-amps during sensor fault or power sequencing events.
Can the TLE2021ACD drive a 10 kΩ load across its full output voltage range?
Yes, the TLE2021ACD delivers guaranteed output swing of ±13.6 V into 10 kΩ at ±15 V supplies (Section 5.6), and 0.7 V to 4.3 V into 10 kΩ at 5 V supply (Section 5.4). Output current capability is ±20 mA, sufficient for standard instrumentation loads without external buffering.
Is the TLE2021ACD pin-compatible with older TI op-amps like the TL071?
No, the TLE2021ACD is not pin-compatible with TL071. While both are 8-pin SOIC op-amps, TLE2021ACD uses Pins 1 and 5 for offset null adjustment and Pin 8 as NC, whereas TL071 assigns Pin 1 to offset null, Pin 5 to NC, and has no dedicated second null terminal-requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
