Product details
Overview
TLE2161AID from Texas Instruments is a JFET-input, decompensated precision operational amplifier optimized for high-output-drive, low-power, and wide supply voltage operation (±3.5 V to ±18 V). 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, with 10 V/µs typical slew rate, 6.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 500 µV max input offset voltage over –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2161AID datasheet, TLE2161AID pinout, TLE2161AID application, or TLE2161AID equivalent, key selection criteria include its JFET-input ultra-low bias current (5 pA typ), long-term offset drift (0.04 µV/month), stable performance across military-grade temperature range, and compatibility with closed-loop gains ≥5 in high-fidelity signal conditioning and precision sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The TLE2161AID uses TI's Excalibur JFET process to achieve parametric stability over time and temperature while maintaining fast slew rates and high open-loop gain (280 V/mV typ). Its decompensated architecture requires minimum closed-loop gain of 5 for stability, enabling higher bandwidth than unity-gain-stable op-amps of similar class.
It features dual offset-null pins (N1/N2) for precise DC calibration, rail-to-rail input common-mode range (–11 V to +13 V at ±15 V supplies), and robust output drive capability (±80 mA short-circuit current). The device maintains low noise (43 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz) and high CMRR (72 dB min) under full operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±3.5 V to ±18 V - supports single-supply or split-rail systems including industrial ±5 V and ±15 V legacy designs. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 500 µV at –40°C to +85°C - enables high-accuracy DC-coupled amplification without frequent recalibration. |
| Slew Rate (typ) | 10 V/µs - allows faithful reproduction of fast transients in active filters and pulse amplifiers. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product (typ) | 6.5 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥5 up to ~1.3 MHz, suitable for anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 5 pA - minimizes voltage error in high-impedance sensor front-ends (e.g., piezoelectric, photodiode). |
| Output Drive (min) | ±2.5 V into 100 Ω at ±5 V - drives low-impedance loads directly, reducing need for external buffer stages. |
| Long-Term Offset Drift | 0.04 µV/month - ensures multi-year calibration stability in metrology and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
The TLE2161AID is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement, rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C.

| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - matched to IN– for optimal common-mode rejection. |
| 4 | VCC– | Negative supply rail connection - supports dual-supply operation down to –19 V absolute max. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection - electrically isolated; no routing required on PCB. |
| 6 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail connection - accepts up to +19 V absolute max. |
| 7 | OUT | Amplified output - capable of ±80 mA short-circuit current and ±12.5 V swing into 600 Ω. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2134PA | Unity-gain stable, lower slew rate (20 V/µs), higher supply current (4 mA), no offset-null pins. | Preferred for audio and unity-gain configurations; unsuitable for high-gain, low-power, or offset-critical DC applications. | Select when unity-gain stability is mandatory and power budget allows >10× higher ICC. |
| TL071CP | Higher input offset (10 mV max), no offset-null capability, lower GBW (3 MHz), wider offset drift (18 µV/°C). | Cost-optimized general-purpose use; not recommended for precision DC or long-term calibration stability. | Choose only for non-critical AC-coupled signal paths where offset and drift are not design constraints. |
Compared with OPA2134PA and TL071CP, the TLE2161AID uniquely combines JFET-input ultra-low bias current, factory-trimmed offset stability, dual null pins for system-level calibration, and decompensated bandwidth-making it irreplaceable in battery-powered, high-impedance, long-life precision instrumentation where offset drift and power are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TLE2161AID?
The TLE2161AID is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" suffix in its part number. This industrial temperature grade ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor instrumentation enclosures without derating.
Does the TLE2161AID require external compensation components?
No, the TLE2161AID is internally decompensated and does not require external compensation. However, it is stable only at closed-loop gains of 5 or greater. Using it at unity gain or gain-of-2 will cause oscillation; always verify loop gain and phase margin in the target circuit configuration.
Can the TLE2161AID drive a 100 Ω load effectively?
Yes - the TLE2161AID delivers ±2.5 V minimum peak-to-peak output voltage into a 100 Ω load at ±5 V supplies, and ±12.5 V into 600 Ω at ±15 V. Its ±80 mA short-circuit current rating confirms robust low-impedance drive capability without thermal shutdown under continuous operation.
How is offset voltage adjusted on the TLE2161AID?
Offset voltage is trimmed using Pins 1 (OFFSET N1) and 8 (OFFSET N2) with a 10 kΩ potentiometer connected between them and VCC–. The wiper connects to VCC+ to inject balancing current into the input stage, enabling sub-100 µV system-level nulling - a capability absent in most modern precision op-amps.
Is the TLE2161AID pin-compatible with other devices in the TLE2161 family?
Yes - all TLE2161 variants (TLE2161, TLE2161A, TLE2161B) share identical 8-pin SOIC (D) pinout and electrical interface. The "A" grade offers tighter initial offset (500 µV max vs. 1.5 mV for standard TLE2161), but mechanical and functional compatibility is maintained across C/I/M suffixes in same package types.
