Product details
Overview
TLE2081CD from Texas Instruments is a single-channel Excalibur high-speed JFET-input operational amplifier designed for precision AC-coupled signal conditioning in ±2.25V to ±19V supply systems. It delivers 10.6 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 32 V/μs slew rate, and 28 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz with ±5V supplies - enabling accurate high-speed data acquisition and oscilloscope front-end amplification.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2081CD datasheet, TLE2081CD pinout, TLE2081CD application, or TLE2081CD equivalent, this device serves as a direct upgrade path from TL081 while supporting wider dynamic range, higher bandwidth, and improved DC precision in battery-powered test equipment, industrial metering, and flight control analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The TLE2081CD uses a JFET-input stage with high-impedance differential pair architecture, delivering 100 MΩ common-mode and 6 TΩ differential input resistance. Its internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation with ≥56° phase margin into 2 kΩ loads and 25 pF capacitive loads.
It operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature with ±2.25V to ±19V dual-supply capability, supporting rail-to-rail output swing up to ±14.5 V at ±15 V supplies and ±4.5 V at ±5 V supplies under 20 mA load - critical for wide-dynamic-range sensor interface and audio preamplifier stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain bandwidth | 10.6 MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain ≥1 with ≤0.1% gain error up to 100 kHz in non-inverting configurations |
| Slew rate | 32 V/μs - supports full-scale 10 Vpp output transitions in <313 ns without slewing distortion |
| Input offset voltage (max) | 6 mV at 25°C - ensures ≤0.12% initial DC error in 5 V full-scale measurement circuits |
| Supply voltage range | ±2.25 V to ±19 V - accommodates both low-power portable designs and high-voltage industrial signal conditioning |
| Input voltage noise | 28 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz (±5 V) - maintains SNR >85 dB in 20 kHz bandwidth applications |
| Common-mode input range | –10.9 V to +15 V at ±15 V supplies - allows direct interfacing to bipolar sensors and transducers |
| Output current (short-circuit) | ±65 mA - drives 100 Ω loads or multiple CMOS inputs without external buffering |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (D), 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm body size with standard 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 2 | Inverting input (IN–) | High-impedance JFET node; requires guarded trace routing to minimize leakage-induced offset drift |
| 3 | Non-inverting input (IN+) | Differential input terminal; matched to Pin 2 for optimal CMRR performance |
| 4 | Negative supply (VCC–) | Return path for bias current and output stage; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm |
| 5 | No connect | Not bonded; floating connection avoids unintended capacitance or ESD paths |
| 6 | Output (OUT) | Class-AB push-pull stage capable of sourcing/sinking 20 mA continuously into resistive loads |
| 7 | Positive supply (VCC+) | Primary power rail; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic + 4.7 μF tantalum decoupling |
| 8 | No connect | Unused pad; no internal connection; PCB copper should be removed beneath |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct TL081 upgrade | Pins 1–8 compatible with TL081CP/CD; same footprint and basic biasing, enabling drop-in replacement without layout change |
| Wider supply rails | ±19 V operation extends dynamic range by 2.4× versus TL081's ±15 V limit - reduces clipping in high-amplitude sensor outputs |
| Low input bias current | 15–175 nA max at 25°C - minimizes voltage error across high-Z source impedances (>100 kΩ) in piezoelectric or pH probe interfaces |
| High slew rate | 32 V/μs - preserves fidelity of fast transient signals (e.g., pulse-width modulated motor feedback) without rise-time degradation |
| Low THD+N | 0.0032% at 1 kHz - meets audio-grade line-driver requirements and high-resolution ADC driver specs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed JFET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL081CD | Lower 3 MHz bandwidth, 13 V/μs slew rate, ±15 V max supply, 15 mV max VIO | Limited to ≤50 kHz small-signal applications; insufficient for oscilloscope front-ends or fast-settling data acquisition | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/precision needs and ±15 V rails suffice |
| OPA2134PA | 10 MHz bandwidth, 20 V/μs slew rate, ±18 V max supply, 0.5 mV max VIO, FET input | Better DC precision and lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but lower slew rate limits large-signal response | Prefer for audio or precision DC-coupled systems where settling time <1 μs is not required |
Compared with TL081CD and OPA2134PA, the TLE2081CD uniquely balances high slew rate (32 V/μs), wide supply (±19 V), and moderate offset (6 mV) - making it optimal for AC-coupled, wide-dynamic-range, medium-precision applications where speed and rail flexibility are prioritized over ultra-low offset or noise.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLE2081CD?
The TLE2081CD has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±19 V (38 V total). Operation beyond this risks permanent damage. For reliable continuous use, TI specifies ±2.25 V to ±19 V recommended operating range - enabling compatibility with legacy ±15 V systems and extended-range ±18 V designs. Always observe derating curves in Section 6.2 for thermal management at elevated ambient temperatures.
Does TLE2081CD support unity-gain stable operation?
Yes, the TLE2081CD is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. Its phase margin exceeds 56° at unity gain with 2 kΩ load and 25 pF capacitive load, as verified in Section 6.5 and 6.7 of the datasheet. This allows direct use in voltage-follower, non-inverting amplifier, and active filter configurations without external compensation components - simplifying design for high-speed buffer and gain stages.
How does TLE2081CD compare to TL081 in terms of pin compatibility?
The TLE2081CD is pin-for-pin compatible with TL081CD and TL081CP in SOIC-8 and PDIP-8 packages. Pin functions match exactly: IN– (2), IN+ (3), VCC– (4), OUT (6), VCC+ (7). No PCB layout changes are needed for migration. However, users must verify that system-level supply rails, decoupling, and output loading align with TLE2081CD's higher slew rate and ±19 V capability to avoid instability or overshoot.
What is the typical input bias current of TLE2081CD at 25°C?
The typical input bias current of TLE2081CD is 15 nA at 25°C, with a maximum of 175 nA across the 0°C to 70°C operating range. This JFET-input characteristic enables high-impedance source interfacing - such as photodiode transimpedance amplifiers or high-value resistor networks - without significant offset voltage errors due to bias current flow. At elevated temperatures, bias current remains well below 1 μA.
Can TLE2081CD drive a 600 Ω load effectively?
Yes, the TLE2081CD delivers ≥80 dB large-signal differential voltage amplification into 600 Ω loads at 25°C, as specified in Section 6.4. Its ±65 mA short-circuit output current and ±20 mA continuous drive capability allow direct interfacing to 600 Ω video lines, legacy test equipment inputs, or RF detector circuits without external buffers - provided proper thermal management and supply decoupling are implemented per TI's layout guidelines.
