Product details
Overview
TLE2161ACD from Texas Instruments is a JFET-input, decompensated, high-output-drive µPower operational amplifier in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package. It delivers ±2.5 V min output swing into 100 Ω at ±5 V supplies and ±12.5 V min into 600 Ω at ±15 V supplies, with 10 V/µs typical slew rate, 6.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 500 µV max input offset voltage over 0°C to 70°C - enabling precision signal conditioning in low-power sensor interfaces and active filters.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2161ACD datasheet, TLE2161ACD pinout, TLE2161ACD application, or TLE2161ACD equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (precision JFET op-amp), thermal grade (C-suffix, 0°C to 70°C), package mapping (SOIC-8), key drive capability specs, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The TLE2161ACD uses TI's Excalibur JFET process to achieve ultra-low input bias current (3 pA typ) and exceptional long-term offset stability (0.04 µV/month). Its decompensated architecture requires minimum closed-loop gain of 5 for stability, enabling higher bandwidth than unity-gain-stable counterparts.
It features rail-to-rail output swing capability relative to supply rails (e.g., ±12.5 V into 600 Ω at ±15 V), high open-loop gain (280 V/mV typ), and robust output drive (±80 mA short-circuit current), making it suitable for driving capacitive loads and moderate-impedance networks without external buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±3.5 V to ±18 V - supports dual-supply systems from low-voltage portable to industrial ±15 V rails. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 500 µV at 25°C - enables DC-coupled precision amplification with sub-mV error budget. |
| Slew Rate | 10 V/µs typ - allows faithful reproduction of fast transients up to ~1.6 MHz full-power bandwidth. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 6.5 MHz typ - supports stable closed-loop gains ≥5 with usable bandwidth >1 MHz. |
| Input Bias Current | 3 pA typ - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sources (e.g., piezoelectric sensors). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision JFET op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLE2161CD | Higher input offset voltage (1.5 mV max vs. 500 µV max); same package, pinout, and decompensated architecture. | Acceptable where DC accuracy <1.5 mV is sufficient; lower cost for non-critical sensing paths. | Select TLE2161CD when offset drift and long-term stability are less critical than initial cost. |
| OPA2134PA | Unity-gain stable; lower slew rate (20 V/µs vs. 10 V/µs); higher supply current (4 mA vs. 280 µA); DIP-8 package only. | Requires no minimum gain constraint; better for general-purpose audio and unity-gain buffer roles. | Choose OPA2134PA only if unity-gain stability is mandatory and power budget allows 14× higher ICC. |
Compared with TLE2161CD and OPA2134PA, the TLE2161ACD uniquely balances ultra-low offset (500 µV), ultra-low bias current (3 pA), and high output drive (±12.5 V into 600 Ω) within a 280 µA supply envelope - making it optimal for battery-powered, high-impedance, precision DC signal chains requiring long-term calibration stability.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable closed-loop gain for TLE2161ACD?
The TLE2161ACD is decompensated and requires a minimum closed-loop gain of 5 for stable operation. This is specified in the datasheet to ensure adequate phase margin (>70°) with 100 pF capacitive load. Using lower gains may cause oscillation or excessive overshoot. Always verify stability under actual load conditions using simulation or bench testing for the TLE2161ACD.
Does TLE2161ACD support rail-to-rail output swing?
The TLE2161ACD does not provide true rail-to-rail output swing. At ±5 V supplies, its maximum output swing is ±2.5 V into 100 Ω and ±3.7 V into 10 kΩ. At ±15 V supplies, it achieves ±12.5 V into 600 Ω and ±13.7 V into 10 kΩ. Output headroom is typically ~1.5 V from each rail under load, consistent with its bipolar output stage design.
Can TLE2161ACD drive a 100 pF capacitive load directly?
Yes - the TLE2161ACD is characterized with 100 pF capacitive load in slew rate and settling time tests (e.g., SR = 10 V/µs, ts = 10 µs for 0.01% error). Its phase margin remains >70° under these conditions. For heavier capacitive loads (>200 pF), consider isolating with a series resistor or using a dedicated buffer to maintain stability for the TLE2161ACD.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for TLE2161ACD at ±5 V supplies?
At ±5 V supplies, the TLE2161ACD supports an input common-mode voltage range of –1.6 V to +4 V (relative to ground), as specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table. This range ensures proper JFET input stage biasing and avoids phase reversal or increased offset. Operation outside this range may degrade CMRR or cause unpredictable behavior for the TLE2161ACD.
Is TLE2161ACD pin-compatible with other TLE2161 variants like TLE2161CD or TLE2161ID?
Yes - all TLE2161x variants in the D-package (e.g., TLE2161ACD, TLE2161CD, TLE2161ID) share identical 8-pin SOIC pinouts and footprint. Differences lie in temperature grade (C = 0°C–70°C, I = –40°C–85°C), offset voltage spec (500 µV max for A-grade vs. 1.5 mV max for standard), and long-term drift. No PCB changes are needed when upgrading within the D-package family for the TLE2161ACD.
