Product details
Overview
TLE2425CPSR from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V virtual ground generator IC designed for single-supply 5-V analog signal-conditioning systems. It integrates a micropower voltage reference and high-performance op-amp in one SO (PS) 8-pin package, delivers ±20 mA output current, maintains 2.5 V ±20 mV over 0°C to 70°C, and achieves 7.5 mΩ typical output impedance for low-noise ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the TLE2425CPSR datasheet, TLE2425CPSR pinout, TLE2425CPSR application, or TLE2425CPSR equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in replacement for resistor-divider + buffer solutions-enabling improved dynamic range, reduced distortion, tighter regulation (<±45 µV load change), and simplified layout in data acquisition front ends, portable instrumentation, and mixed-signal sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The TLE2425CPSR implements a monolithic precision architecture combining a bandgap voltage reference with a unity-gain buffered output stage. Its internal design ensures input regulation of 1.5 µV/V and output regulation of −45 µV (sink) / +15 µV (source) across ±10 mA load steps, enabling stable mid-rail bias under varying signal currents.
It operates from 4 V to 40 V input, draws only 170 µA quiescent current, and features 80 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz-making it suitable for battery-powered and noise-sensitive applications where rail-splitting must coexist with micropower operation and high PSRR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±20 mV (0°C to 70°C); provides precise mid-rail reference for 5-V systems without external components. |
| Output Impedance | 7.5 mΩ typical; enables fast settling and minimal voltage droop during ±10 mA transients in ADC sampling circuits. |
| Load Regulation | −45 µV (sink) / +15 µV (source) over ±10 mA; supports 12-bit+ accuracy in data acquisition front ends. |
| Input Regulation | 1.5 µV/V typical; rejects supply ripple and line variations, critical for stable bias in noisy environments. |
| Quiescent Current | 170 µA typical; allows use in always-on sensor nodes and portable equipment with multi-year battery life. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar virtual ground generation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2425IDR | Lower quiescent current (120 µA), wider temp range (−40°C to 85°C), same SOIC-8 package but different pinout (IN/OUT swapped). | Preferred for extended-temp industrial designs; requires PCB layout revision due to non-identical pin mapping. | Select when operating beyond 70°C or when lower IQ is critical; verify pin compatibility before layout reuse. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5-V precision voltage reference only (no output drive); max 25 mA sink, no source capability, higher output impedance (~1 Ω). | Suitable only when paired with external buffer; adds complexity, board area, and potential stability issues. | Choose only if existing design already uses REF3025 + op-amp; not a direct functional substitute for TLE2425CPSR's integrated drive. |
Compared with TLV2425IDR and REF3025AIDBZR, the TLE2425CPSR uniquely combines reference accuracy, low-Z buffering, and micropower operation in a single SO-8 package-eliminating external components while maintaining 12-bit system accuracy across commercial temperature ranges.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TLE2425CPSR?
The TLE2425CPSR is a precision 2.5-V virtual ground generator that replaces resistor-divider + op-amp circuits in single-supply 5-V analog systems. It provides a stable, low-impedance mid-rail reference capable of sourcing or sinking ±20 mA, enabling accurate biasing for ADCs, DACs, and instrumentation amplifiers without external components.
Does the TLE2425CPSR require external capacitors for stability?
Yes-the TLE2425CPSR requires a minimum 100 pF ceramic capacitor from OUT to COMMON for stable operation under dynamic loads. The datasheet specifies stability within 100 pF to 10 µF; values below 100 pF may cause ringing or oscillation during current transients, especially with capacitive loads like ADC input sampling capacitors.
Can the TLE2425CPSR operate from a 3.3-V supply?
No-the TLE2425CPSR has a minimum input voltage rating of 4 V per its absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions. Operating below 4 V risks improper reference startup, degraded regulation, and potential output collapse; it is not specified or characterized for 3.3-V operation.
How does the TLE2425CPSR compare to using a resistor divider and op-amp?
The TLE2425CPSR integrates a precision voltage reference and unity-gain buffer on one die, delivering better initial accuracy (±20 mV vs. ±50 mV typical for discrete solutions), lower drift (20 ppm/°C), and lower output impedance (7.5 mΩ vs. ≥100 mΩ). It eliminates resistor tolerance errors, thermal tracking mismatches, and op-amp offset contributions-reducing total system error by up to 4× in 12-bit data acquisition.
Is the TLE2425CPSR pin-compatible with other TLE2425 variants like TLE2425CD?
Yes-the TLE2425CPSR shares identical pinout (IN, COMMON, OUT, NC×5) and electrical specifications with all TLE2425 variants in SO-8 packages (e.g., TLE2425CD, TLE2425CDR). The "PS" suffix denotes the same SO package variant as "D", differing only in tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs vs. 2500 pcs) and reel dimensions-not functionality or pin assignment.
