Product details
Overview
TLE2021IDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, military-grade precision operational amplifier using the Excalibur bipolar process. It delivers 2 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 0.65 V/µs slew rate, and 100 µV max input offset voltage across –55°C to +125°C, enabling low-level signal conditioning in harsh-environment instrumentation and aerospace sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2021IDRG4 datasheet, TLE2021IDRG4 pinout, TLE2021IDRG4 application, or TLE2021IDRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified military-temperature op amp specifications, JG-package terminal mapping, phase-reversal protection behavior, and direct alternatives for high-stability analog front ends requiring rail-to-rail input capability and long-term dc accuracy.
Technical Context
The TLE2021IDRG4 employs isolated vertical PNP transistors in a complementary bipolar Excalibur process, enabling improved unity-gain bandwidth and slew rate versus legacy OP21-class amplifiers. Its bias circuit ensures stable parameters over time and temperature-critical for precision measurement systems where drift must remain below 0.006 µV/month.
It features phase-reversal protection that prevents output inversion when inputs fall below the negative rail, and supports both ±15 V and 5 V single-supply operation with common-mode input range extending to the negative rail-making it suitable for ground-referenced sensor amplification without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply current | 300 µA max at ±15 V - enables ultra-low-power precision amplification in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems |
| Unity-gain bandwidth | 2 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥1 up to audio-frequency signals without compensation |
| Slew rate | 0.65 V/µs - allows clean 10 kHz full-scale sine output at ±10 V swing without distortion |
| Input offset voltage | 100 µV max (–55°C to +125°C) - ensures ≤0.1% error in 100 mV full-scale industrial sensor outputs |
| Input bias current | 50 nA max - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance source networks (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoelectric sensors) |
| Common-mode input range | Includes negative rail (–15 V to +13.2 V at ±15 V supply) - enables direct interface with grounded transducers |
| Open-loop gain | 6.5 V/µV (136 dB) - provides >80 dB loop gain at 100 kHz for high-accuracy active filters and integrators |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP), 8-pin, JG outline - hermetically sealed, MIL-STD-883 qualified, rated for –55°C to +125°C operation with 300°C soldering tolerance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null (N1) | Connects to external potentiometer for manual input offset trimming; required for sub-10 µV system calibration |
| 2 | Inverting Input (IN–) | Differential input node; accepts signals down to –15 V with phase-reversal protection enabled |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input (IN+) | Differential input node; common-mode range includes negative rail for true single-supply operation |
| 4 | VCC / GND | Ground reference for single-supply use (5 V); negative supply rail for split-supply (±15 V) |
| 5 | Offset Null (N2) | Second terminal of offset null potentiometer; used with Pin 1 to balance input stage mismatch |
| 6 | Output (OUT) | Capable of ±20 mA drive into 10 kΩ load; swings to within 1.3 V of rails at ±15 V supply |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail (5 V or +15 V); decoupling capacitor required for stability at high frequencies |
| 8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to ground per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Phase-reversal protection | Prevents output latch-up or polarity inversion when IN– or IN+ falls below VCC / GND, critical for fault-tolerant sensor monitoring |
| Military temperature rating | Characterized from –55°C to +125°C with guaranteed 10 µA supply-current change - eliminates derating calculations for space or engine-control designs |
| Low long-term drift | 0.005 µV/month typical - ensures <1 µV total offset shift over 10-year deployment in calibration-critical metrology equipment |
| Rail-to-rail input capability | Common-mode range extends to negative rail - enables direct amplification of 0–100 mV thermocouple outputs without biasing resistors |
| Low input noise | 19 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in 20-bit ADC front ends sampling at ≤100 kSPS |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA277GP | Higher precision (10 µV max VIO), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but only rated to +85°C commercial grade | Lacks military-temperature qualification and phase-reversal protection; unsuitable for uncontrolled ambient deployments | Select only for lab-grade instrumentation where environmental stress is absent and long-term drift is less critical than initial accuracy |
| LM108AJ/883 | Same military temp range (–55°C to +125°C), but slower (1.5 MHz GBW, 0.3 V/µs SR) and higher supply current (1.2 mA) | Legacy design with no phase-reversal protection; requires external clamping for negative-rail overdrive | Choose only for legacy redesigns where board footprint compatibility with LM108 is mandatory and bandwidth requirements are ≤500 kHz |
Compared with OPA277GP and LM108AJ/883, the TLE2021IDRG4 uniquely combines military-temperature operation, phase-reversal immunity, and 2 MHz bandwidth at sub-300 µA quiescent current-enabling next-generation sensor nodes where reliability, speed, and power coexist under extreme conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TLE2021IDRG4?
The TLE2021IDRG4 is characterized for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements. This full military temperature range is validated across all key parameters including input offset voltage, supply current, and open-loop gain-ensuring reliable performance in engine compartments, space payloads, and downhole drilling equipment without derating.
Does the TLE2021IDRG4 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the TLE2021IDRG4 is explicitly specified for 5 V single-supply operation with a common-mode input voltage range from 0 V to 3.2 V and output swing from 0.7 V to 4.3 V. Its phase-reversal protection remains active even when inputs approach ground, making it suitable for grounded-sensor applications without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does the phase-reversal protection in the TLE2021IDRG4 function?
The TLE2021IDRG4 integrates internal circuitry that disables the input stage's differential pair when either input falls below the negative supply rail (VCC / GND), preventing output inversion or latch-up. This behavior is confirmed in TI's SLOS191E datasheet Figure 8-1 and enables robust operation with floating or faulted sensor inputs in safety-critical monitoring systems.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 5 on the TLE2021IDRG4?
Pins 1 and 5 are offset null terminals used to connect an external 10 kΩ potentiometer for manual trimming of input offset voltage. When adjusted, this network balances internal transistor mismatches-reducing residual offset to <5 µV in calibrated systems such as precision weigh scales and laboratory multimeters using the TLE2021IDRG4.
Is the TLE2021IDRG4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the TLE2021IDRG4 is RoHS compliant and features lead-free terminations per TI's packaging standards. The "G4" suffix denotes green (halogen-free) packaging and Pb-free finish, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) requirements for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH.
