Product details
Overview
TLE2161BMJG from Texas Instruments is a JFET-input, decompensated, high-output-drive µPower operational amplifier designed for precision analog signal conditioning in military-temperature-range systems. 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 typical gain-bandwidth product, and 500 µV max input offset voltage at 25°C.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2161BMJG datasheet, TLE2161BMJG pinout, TLE2161BMJG application, or TLE2161BMJG equivalent, this device is selected for high-stability, low-drift, high-slew-rate amplification in aerospace instrumentation, ruggedized data acquisition, and precision sensor front-ends where operation from –55°C to +125°C is required.
Technical Context
The TLE2161BMJG uses TI's Excalibur JFET process to achieve ultra-low input bias current (3 pA typ), low long-term offset drift (0.04 µV/month), and exceptional parametric stability across temperature and time. 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 JFET differential input stage with 10¹² Ω input resistance, 4 pF input capacitance, and internal offset-null terminals (N1/N2) for fine-tuning. The device maintains >70° phase margin with 100 pF capacitive load at AVD = 5 and RL = 10 kΩ, supporting robust driving of moderate-capacitance nodes without external compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-output-drive, JFET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2134SM | Unity-gain stable; lower slew rate (8 V/µs); wider supply range (±2.5 V to ±18 V); no offset null pins | Preferred where gain <5 is required or PCB layout lacks space for trim potentiometer | Select when unity-gain stability is mandatory and offset drift tolerance >0.1 µV/month is acceptable |
| LMC6062IM | CMOS input; higher input bias current (2 fA typ but 100 pA max); lower output drive (±20 mA); no military temp grade | Suitable for low-power, battery-operated portable instruments with ambient-temperature operation only | Select for ultra-low power (<100 µA) and cost-sensitive commercial designs where military temp range is unnecessary |
Compared with OPA2134SM and LMC6062IM, the TLE2161BMJG provides unique military-grade temperature performance, dedicated offset null capability, and superior output drive-making it irreplaceable in high-reliability, high-precision, high-temperature analog signal chains where trimming and load-driving are essential.

FAQ
What is the minimum closed-loop gain required for stable operation of the TLE2161BMJG?
The TLE2161BMJG 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 typical capacitive loads. Using the TLE2161BMJG at gains below 5 may result in oscillation or excessive ringing, especially with >100 pF load capacitance. Gain-setting resistors must be chosen accordingly to meet this constraint.
Does the TLE2161BMJG include offset null terminals, and how are they used?
Yes, the TLE2161BMJG includes dedicated offset null terminals: pin 1 (OFFSET N1) and pin 8 (OFFSET N2). These connect to the ends of a 10-kΩ potentiometer, with the wiper tied to VCC– (pin 4), enabling manual trimming of input offset voltage to <100 µV. This feature is critical for DC-coupled precision applications and is confirmed in the device's pin diagram and electrical characteristics tables.
What is the maximum output current capability of the TLE2161BMJG, and under what conditions is it specified?
The TLE2161BMJG delivers ±80 mA output current, specified as short-circuit current at 25°C with VCC± = ±15 V. It sustains ±12.5 V peak-to-peak output swing into 600 Ω and ±2.5 V into 100 Ω under the same supply conditions. Thermal limits apply per the dissipation rating table: at TA = 125°C, the JG package supports 210 mW, limiting sustained high-current operation at elevated temperatures.
How does the input bias current of the TLE2161BMJG compare to other precision op-amps, and why does it matter?
The TLE2161BMJG has a typical input bias current of 3 pA at 25°C - among the lowest for JFET-input op-amps in its class. This enables accurate amplification of signals from ultra-high-impedance sources such as photodiodes, piezoelectric sensors, or pH electrodes without introducing significant input error voltage. At –55°C to +125°C, bias current remains ≤30 nA, preserving accuracy across the full military temperature range.
Is the TLE2161BMJG pin-compatible with other variants in the TLE2161 family, such as the TLE2161AMJG or TLE2161CP?
Yes, all TLE2161 variants-including TLE2161BMJG, TLE2161AMJG, and TLE2161CP-share identical 8-pin DIP (JG/P) and SOIC (D) footprints and pinouts. The suffixes denote performance grade (B = best offset), temperature range (M = –55°C to +125°C), and package (JG = ceramic DIP). No PCB changes are required when substituting within the same package type, though design validation for offset, drift, and gain stability is recommended.
