Product details
Overview
TLE2081CP from Texas Instruments is a single-channel Excalibur high-speed JFET-input operational amplifier designed for precision AC-coupled signal conditioning in ±2.25 V to ±19 V supply systems. It delivers 10.6 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 32 V/μs slew rate, and ±14.5 V output swing at ±15 V supplies, enabling high-fidelity amplification in oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and flight control units.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2081CP datasheet, TLE2081CP pinout, TLE2081CP application, or TLE2081CP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6 mV max input offset voltage (C-suffix, 0°C to 70°C), 2.92 mA supply current per amplifier, PDIP-8 package with 9.81 mm × 9.43 mm footprint, and direct upgrade path from TL081 without layout changes.
Technical Context
The TLE2081CP uses a JFET-input stage with high-impedance differential pair architecture, delivering low input bias current (15–175 nA) and low input noise voltage (7 nV/√Hz at ±15 V). Its internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation with 56° phase margin and 300 kHz full-output-swing bandwidth.
It operates across ±2.25 V to ±19 V supplies, supports common-mode input ranges from –10.9 V to +15 V (at ±15 V), and maintains DC precision with 85 dB CMRR and 99 dB supply-voltage rejection ratio - critical for high-resolution data acquisition and metering front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain bandwidth | 10.6 MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain ≥1 with minimal phase lag up to audio and low-MHz frequencies |
| Slew rate | 32 V/μs - supports fast transient response for 10 V step signals settling within 0.4 μs to 1 mV |
| Input offset voltage (max) | 6 mV at 25°C - defines worst-case DC error in precision sensor amplification or reference buffering |
| Supply voltage range | ±2.25 V to ±19 V - accommodates wide dynamic signal range in industrial power monitoring and battery-powered test gear |
| Output voltage swing (±15 V) | ±11.5 V at 20 mA load - delivers rail-to-rail usable amplitude for driving ADC inputs or analog comparators |
| Input bias current (max) | 175 nA - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance source networks (e.g., piezoelectric sensors) |
| Total harmonic distortion + noise | 0.0032% at 1 kHz - preserves signal fidelity in low-power audio processing and spectral analysis paths |
Pinout & Package
Package: PDIP-8 (Plastic Dual Inline Package), 9.81 mm × 9.43 mm body size with 2.54 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No connect - must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk |
| 2 | IN– | Inverting input - primary feedback node for standard op-amp configurations (inverting amp, integrator) |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - used for buffer, non-inverting amplifier, or comparator reference input |
| 4 | VCC– | Negative supply rail - connects to system ground or negative voltage rail; decoupling capacitor required |
| 5 | NC | No connect - electrically isolated; floating or tied to ground degrades noise performance |
| 6 | OUT | Amplified output - drives loads up to ±65 mA short-circuit; requires series resistor for capacitive loads >100 pF |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail - connects to system positive rail; separate decoupling from VCC– improves PSRR |
| 8 | NC | No connect - no internal connection; PCB trace stubs must be minimized to reduce EMI pickup |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct TL081 upgrade | Pins 1–8 match TL081CP; same PDIP-8 footprint and electrical interface - zero redesign needed |
| Wider supply rails | ±19 V operation extends dynamic range by >2× vs. TL081 (±15 V), reducing clipping in high-voltage transducer interfaces |
| Low input noise | 7 nV/√Hz at ±15 V enables sub-mV resolution in 16-bit+ data acquisition front-ends |
| High slew rate | 32 V/μs supports >100 kHz full-power bandwidth for 10 Vpp signals - essential for oscilloscope vertical amplifiers |
| Stable unity-gain operation | 56° phase margin with 25 pF load ensures robustness in active filters and gain-of-1 buffers without external compensation |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL081CP | Lower 3 MHz bandwidth, 13 V/μs slew rate, ±15 V max supply, 15 mV max VIO | Acceptable for <100 kHz signal paths but insufficient for oscilloscope front-ends or fast-settling DMMs | Select TL081CP only when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and precision requirements |
| OPA2134PA | 10 MHz bandwidth, 20 V/μs slew rate, ±18 V supply, 500 μV max VIO, FET input | Better DC accuracy and lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but higher quiescent current (4 mA) and no direct pin compatibility | Choose OPA2134PA for ultra-low-offset metrology where board redesign is acceptable |
Compared with TL081CP and OPA2134PA, the TLE2081CP uniquely balances 10.6 MHz bandwidth, 32 V/μs slew rate, and PDIP-8 pin compatibility - making it the only drop-in upgrade for legacy TL081 designs requiring higher speed without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the TLE2081CP?
The TLE2081CP has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±19 V (38 V total), verified per Section 6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings in the TI SLOS182C datasheet. Operation beyond this risks permanent damage. Recommended operating range is ±2.25 V to ±19 V, with full specification compliance guaranteed across that span for the C-suffix grade (0°C to 70°C).
Is the TLE2081CP pin-compatible with the TL081CP?
Yes, the TLE2081CP is fully pin-compatible with the TL081CP in the PDIP-8 package: both share identical pin 1 (NC), pin 2 (IN–), pin 3 (IN+), pin 4 (VCC–), pin 5 (NC), pin 6 (OUT), pin 7 (VCC+), and pin 8 (NC) assignments and functions. This allows direct replacement without PCB modification.
What is the typical input offset voltage of the TLE2081CP at 25°C?
The typical input offset voltage of the TLE2081CP is 0.49 mV at 25°C and ±15 V supply, as specified in Section 6.6 of the TI SLOS182C datasheet. The maximum guaranteed value is 6 mV across the full 0°C to 70°C operating range, supporting precision applications like DMM front-ends and sensor signal conditioning.
Does the TLE2081CP require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the TLE2081CP is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. Its phase margin is 56° at unity gain with a 25 pF capacitive load, as confirmed in Section 6.5 and 6.7 of the datasheet. No external compensation components are needed for standard non-inverting or inverting configurations with gains ≥1.
What is the output current capability of the TLE2081CP?
The TLE2081CP provides ±65 mA short-circuit output current, as specified in Sections 6.4 and 6.6 of the TI SLOS182C datasheet. Under normal linear operation, it delivers ±20 mA with ±11.5 V swing at ±15 V supplies - sufficient to drive ADC reference buffers, analog switches, or moderate-impedance transmission lines without external boost stages.
