Product details
Overview
TLE2021ID 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 (industrial 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 data acquisition systems, sensor front-ends, and precision instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2021ID datasheet, TLE2021ID pinout, TLE2021ID application, or TLE2021ID equivalent, key selection considerations include its military-grade M-suffix variants' extended temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), low 300 µA max supply current, 19 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and compatibility with both single 5 V and dual ±15 V supplies in space-constrained industrial control and test equipment designs.
Technical Context
The TLE2021ID employs Texas Instruments' Excalibur complementary bipolar process with isolated vertical PNP transistors, enabling improved unity-gain bandwidth and slew rate over legacy OP21-class amplifiers. Its bias circuit ensures stable dc parameters over time and temperature-critical for long-life embedded measurement systems.
Phase-reversal protection prevents output inversion when either input falls below the negative supply rail, and the common-mode input range includes the negative rail under all operating conditions, supporting true single-supply operation with ground-referenced sensors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 2 MHz (enables stable closed-loop gain ≥1 up to audio and low-speed communication frequencies) |
| Slew Rate | 0.65 V/µs (supports ≤100 kHz full-power sine wave output at 10 Vpp without distortion) |
| Input Offset Voltage | 100 µV max (ensures ≤0.1% error in 100 mV full-scale 12-bit ADC interfaces) |

Pinout & Package
The TLE2021ID is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, pin-compatible with industry-standard op-amp footprints and optimized for surface-mount industrial PCBs.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null (N1) | Connects to external potentiometer for fine-tuning input offset voltage in high-accuracy DC applications |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–) | Primary feedback node; accepts signals referenced to system ground or negative rail |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+) | High-impedance input for sensor or reference signal; supports rail-to-rail common-mode range |
| 4 | V– / GND | Negative supply or ground return; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 5 | Offset Null (N2) | Second terminal of offset null network; used with Pin 1 for trimming |
| 6 | Output | Capacitive-load tolerant output capable of ±20 mA drive into 10 kΩ load |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stability |
| 8 | No Connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA227PA | Lower 10 nV/√Hz noise, higher 8 MHz GBW, but 2.5 mA supply current and no phase-reversal protection | Better for high-bandwidth, low-noise AC-coupled applications; unsuitable for rail-to-rail input or low-power DC systems | Select OPA227PA only when bandwidth >2 MHz and noise <15 nV/√Hz are mandatory-and power budget allows ≥2 mA per channel |
| TLE2021CD | Same Excalibur process, identical pinout and specs, but rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range | Valid for cost-sensitive consumer or lab equipment where extended temperature is not required | TLE2021CD offers identical performance at lower cost for non-industrial environments; no PCB changes needed |
Compared with OPA227PA and TLE2021CD, the TLE2021ID uniquely balances ultra-low power (300 µA), rail-included input, and phase-reversal protection-making it irreplaceable in battery-operated, ground-referenced, safety-critical analog front-ends where reliability across temperature extremes matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TLE2021ID?
The TLE2021ID is specified for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. While the military-grade TLE2021M variant extends to –55°C to +125°C with identical electrical specs, the TLE2021ID's thermal limits are strictly bounded by its industrial qualification-verified per TI's SLOS191E datasheet Section 5.3 Recommended Operating Conditions.
Does the TLE2021ID support single-supply operation?
Yes, the TLE2021ID supports true single-supply operation at 5 V. Its common-mode input voltage range includes the negative rail (GND), and output swings to within 0.7 V of each rail-enabling direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors and microcontroller ADCs without level-shifting circuitry, as confirmed in Sections 5.4 and 5.6 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 5 on the TLE2021ID?
Pins 1 and 5 are offset null terminals. They connect to the ends of an external 10-kΩ potentiometer (wiper to V–) to actively trim input offset voltage-critical for achieving sub-50 µV residual offset in high-accuracy DC applications like precision weigh scales or medical instrumentation, per Figure 4-1 and Section 4 Pin Configuration.
How does phase-reversal protection work in the TLE2021ID?
The TLE2021ID integrates internal circuitry that clamps the differential input stage when either input drops below the negative supply rail-preventing the output from inverting unexpectedly. This eliminates the need for external Schottky diodes in sensor interfaces prone to overvoltage transients, as explicitly described in Section 2 Description and validated in application circuits on page 26.
Is the TLE2021ID pin-compatible with other op-amps in the same package?
Yes, the TLE2021ID uses the industry-standard 8-pin SOIC (D) footprint and shares identical pin assignments with legacy TI op-amps like the TL071 and OP27-enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts. However, differences in bandwidth, noise, and input structure require verification of loop stability and noise performance in the target application.
