Product details
Overview
TLE2021CDR 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 –55°C to +125°C and supports both ±15 V and 5 V single-supply configurations, making it suitable for military-grade sensor signal conditioning in low-power, rail-to-rail-input analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2021CDR datasheet, TLE2021CDR pinout, TLE2021CDR application, or TLE2021CDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its phase-reversal protection, 19 nV/√Hz input noise, 300 µA max supply current, stable dc performance over temperature and time, and compatibility with high-density ceramic DIP packaging.
Technical Context
The TLE2021CDR employs a complementary bipolar Excalibur process with isolated vertical PNP transistors, enabling significantly improved unity-gain bandwidth and slew rate versus legacy OP21-class amplifiers. Its bias circuit ensures exceptional parameter stability-supply current drift is limited to 10 µA over the full military temperature range.
Designed for precision dc-coupled applications, it features a common-mode input voltage range extending to the negative rail (–15 V at ±15 V supply), enabling true single-supply operation down to 5 V. Phase-reversal protection prevents output inversion when inputs fall below the negative supply, critical for fault-tolerant instrumentation interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain bandwidth | 2 MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to audio frequencies with minimal phase lag. |
| Slew rate | 0.65 V/µs - supports 100 kHz full-power sine wave output at 2 Vpp without distortion. |
| Input offset voltage | 100 µV max - ensures ≤0.002% gain error in 5 V full-scale precision measurement circuits. |
| Supply current | 300 µA max - allows battery-powered operation for >1 year on a CR2032 cell in low-duty-cycle sensing nodes. |
| Input noise voltage | 19 nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in sub-mV sensor outputs (e.g., thermocouples, strain gauges). |
| Operating temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for aerospace, downhole, and engine-control environments. |
| CMRR | 115 dB max - rejects >3 million:1 common-mode interference in noisy industrial settings. |
Pinout & Package
The TLE2021CDR is packaged in an 8-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP, JG), hermetically sealed for high-reliability military and space applications. This package provides superior thermal stability and moisture resistance compared to plastic variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null (N1) | Connects to external potentiometer for manual input offset trimming; required for <10 µV system-level offset. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (IN–) | Differential input node; accepts signals down to –15 V (rail-to-rail common-mode range). |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input (IN+) | Differential input node; enables true single-supply operation with ground-referenced sensors. |
| 4 | VCC / GND | Ground reference for single-supply operation (5 V) or negative supply (–15 V) in split-rail mode. |
| 5 | Offset Null (N2) | Second terminal of offset null network; used with Pin 1 to balance input stage quiescent currents. |
| 6 | Output (OUT) | Capable of ±20 mA drive into 10 kΩ load; swings to within 0.95 V of rails at full load. |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply terminal: accepts +5 V (single) or +15 V (split); internally decoupled. |
| 8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Phase-reversal protection | Prevents catastrophic output inversion when IN– or IN+ drops below VCC/GND, eliminating latch-up risk in transient-overvoltage conditions. |
| Low long-term drift | 0.005 µV/month - guarantees <0.6 µV total offset shift over 10 years, enabling maintenance-free calibration in field-deployed systems. |
| Rail-to-rail input capability | Common-mode range includes negative rail (–15 V), allowing direct interface with grounded sensors without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Stable parameters over temperature | Supply current change ≤10 µA across –55°C to +125°C - eliminates need for dynamic bias compensation in wide-temperature designs. |
| High open-loop gain | 6.5 V/µV (136 dB) - ensures <0.001% gain error in unity-gain buffer and precision gain stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA277UA | Lower input offset (25 µV max), higher cost, SO-8 package only, no military temp grade. | Commercial industrial instrumentation; not qualified for –55°C operation or hermetic packaging. | Select when ultra-low offset dominates over temperature range and packaging requirements. |
| LMC6061IM | CMOS input (0.01 pA bias), 1.4 MHz bandwidth, 0.35 V/µs slew, 125°C max operating temp. | Ultra-low-power sensor nodes with high-impedance sources; lacks phase-reversal protection and military screening. | Select for femtoampere-level source impedance interfaces where speed and ruggedness are secondary. |
Compared with OPA277UA and LMC6061IM, the TLE2021CDR uniquely combines military-temperature qualification, hermetic CDIP packaging, phase-reversal protection, and Excalibur-process speed/stability-making it irreplaceable in high-reliability analog signal chains where environmental robustness is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TLE2021CDR?
The TLE2021CDR is characterized for operation from –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This full military temperature range is confirmed in Section 5.3 of the official TI datasheet (SLOS191E), and applies specifically to all M-suffix devices including TLE2021CDR.
Does the TLE2021CDR support single-supply operation?
Yes, the TLE2021CDR is explicitly specified for 5 V single-supply operation per Section 2 and Table 5.3 of the datasheet. Its common-mode input voltage range extends to the negative rail (0 V in single-supply mode), and output swings within 0.95 V of both rails under load-enabling direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 5 on the TLE2021CDR?
Pins 1 and 5 are offset null terminals (N1 and N2) used to connect an external 10-kΩ potentiometer for manual adjustment of input offset voltage. This feature allows system-level trimming to <10 µV, critical for high-accuracy DC measurement applications where initial device offset must be actively canceled.
How does phase-reversal protection work in the TLE2021CDR?
The TLE2021CDR integrates internal circuitry that prevents output polarity inversion when either input falls below the negative supply rail-a failure mode common in standard op-amps. As documented in Section 2, this protection eliminates unexpected output glitches during power-up, sensor disconnection, or ESD events, ensuring deterministic behavior in safety-critical analog paths.
Is the TLE2021CDR pin-compatible with other TLE202xM variants?
No-TLE2021CDR (single-channel, 8-pin CDIP) is not pin-compatible with TLE2022xM (dual, same package) or TLE2024xM (quad, 14-pin CDIP). While all share the same Excalibur process and core specifications, channel count and pinout differ fundamentally; PCB layout must be designed specifically for the TLE2021CDR's 8-pin JG footprint.
