Product details
Overview
TLV2231CDBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single, rail-to-rail output, low-power LinCMOS™ operational amplifier in SOT-23-5 package. It delivers 2 MHz gain-bandwidth, 1.6 V/µs slew rate at 5 V, 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 1 pA typical input bias current, and operates from 2.7 V to 10 V supply - optimized for low-voltage signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2231CDBVRG4 datasheet, TLV2231CDBVRG4 pinout, TLV2231CDBVRG4 application, or TLV2231CDBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output swing into 600 Ω loads, 3 mV max input offset voltage over 0°C–70°C, micropower operation (≤1.3 mA supply current), and SOT-23 layout-optimized pinout for high-impedance source buffering.
Technical Context
The TLV2231CDBVRG4 employs LinCMOS™ process technology to achieve ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typ) and high input impedance (>1 TΩ common-mode resistance), enabling accurate amplification of high-impedance sources like piezoelectric transducers and pH electrodes. Its rail-to-rail output stage supports full dynamic range in single-supply 3 V systems without level-shifting circuitry.
It features internal compensation for unity-gain stability with 600 Ω load and 100 pF capacitance, delivering 48° phase margin at 5 V. The device is fully characterized across 0°C–70°C (C-grade) and specified for both 3 V and 5 V operation, with input common-mode range extending to the negative rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - enables direct integration into 3 V microcontroller I/O domains and 5 V legacy systems without regulators. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2 MHz at VDD = 5 V - supports stable closed-loop gain up to ~20 at 100 kHz for anti-aliasing filter stages. |
| Slew Rate | 1.6 V/µs at VDD = 5 V - sufficient for 10-bit ADC driving at 100 kSPS with ≤0.5 LSB error due to settling. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 3 mV max (0°C–70°C) - ensures ≤0.3% full-scale error in 1 V reference buffer applications. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - minimizes voltage drop across >100 MΩ source impedances (e.g., photodiode bias networks). |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA into 600 Ω - directly interfaces with telecom line drivers and SAR ADC input networks without external buffers. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 15 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in audio preamp stages with source impedances <10 kΩ. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 5-terminal surface-mount package with exposed pad option (not applicable to TLV2231CDBVRG4). Optimized layout separates IN+ and IN− by GND to suppress coupling; OUT and IN− co-located for compact feedback routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN+ | Noninverting Input | High-impedance node (1 TΩ) for reference or sensor signal injection; immune to ground bounce when adjacent to Pin 2 (GND). |
| 2: VDD−/GND | Negative Supply / Ground Reference | Primary return path for input bias current and output load current; must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3: IN− | Inverting Input | Feedback node location; placed adjacent to OUT (Pin 4) to minimize parasitic capacitance in unity-gain configurations. |
| 4: OUT | Amplifier Output | Rail-to-rail capable output driving 600 Ω loads to within 160 mV of rails at 1 mA - suitable for direct ADC input termination. |
| 5: VDD+ | Positive Supply | Power input referenced to Pin 2; accepts 2.7–10 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling between Pins 2 and 5. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Drives loads to within 100 mV of either rail at 500 µA - eliminates need for dual supplies in data-acquisition front-ends interfacing with 3 V ADCs. |
| 1 pA input bias current | Enables use with >1 GΩ source impedances (e.g., capacitive humidity sensors) without significant offset drift or signal attenuation. |
| 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise | Preserves resolution in low-level sensor signal chains (e.g., thermopile amplifiers) where source impedance is <5 kΩ. |
| 2.7 V minimum supply | Operates directly from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) batteries - extends runtime in portable instrumentation. |
| SOT-23-5 layout optimization | GND (Pin 2) isolates IN+ and IN−; OUT (Pin 4) and IN− (Pin 3) alignment simplifies feedback trace routing - reduces PCB area by 67% vs SOIC-8. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision buffer and level-shifter translating field sensor signals to PLC ADC input ranges (e.g., 0–10 V). Use Value: 3 mV max input offset ensures ≤0.03% full-scale error in 10 V measurement range; 2.7–10 V supply range matches PLC internal power rails. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2231IDBVR | Same electrical specs, but rated for –40°C to +85°C operating range; 3 mV max VIO over full temp range. | Required for industrial or automotive under-hood environments where ambient exceeds 70°C. | Select TLV2231IDBVR when extended temperature operation is mandatory; otherwise TLV2231CDBVRG4 suffices for commercial-grade equipment. |
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture; 0.1 µV/°C VIO drift vs 0.5 µV/°C for TLV2231; 17 nV/√Hz noise; 1.8 V min supply. | Better DC precision in long-duration measurements (e.g., weigh scales), but higher cost and 1.7x quiescent current. | Choose OPA333AIDBVR only when µV-level offset stability over temperature/time outweighs power budget constraints. |
Compared with TLV2231IDBVR, the TLV2231CDBVRG4 trades extended temperature range for lower cost in commercial applications; versus OPA333AIDBVR, it offers 40% lower supply current and simpler biasing at the expense of zero-drift DC accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TLV2231CDBVRG4?
The TLV2231CDBVRG4 is characterized for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade rating is defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (Section 6.3) and validated across all electrical parameters including input offset voltage, supply current, and open-loop gain. Exceeding +70°C may cause parametric shift beyond datasheet limits; for extended temperature applications, TI recommends the TLV2231IDBVR variant.
Does the TLV2231CDBVRG4 support true rail-to-rail input capability?
No, the TLV2231CDBVRG4 does not feature rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode input voltage range extends to the negative rail (VDD−) but stops 1.3 V below the positive rail (VDD+) - e.g., 0 V to 3.7 V at 5 V supply. This is explicitly specified in Section 6.3 as VIC = VDD− to (VDD+ − 1.3 V). For full rail-to-rail input, consider TI's TLV9001 or OPA320 families.
Can the TLV2231CDBVRG4 drive a 600 Ω load at 5 V supply while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes, the TLV2231CDBVRG4 drives 600 Ω loads with rail-to-rail output swing at 5 V supply: VOH ≥ 4.6 V at IOH = −4 mA and VOL ≤ 160 mV at IOL = 1 mA (Section 6.6). This meets telecom interface requirements and enables direct connection to SAR ADC inputs without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the typical supply current of the TLV2231CDBVRG4 at 3 V operation?
The typical supply current of the TLV2231CDBVRG4 at 3 V is 1.2 mA (1200 µA), with a maximum of 1.5 mA over the full 0°C–70°C temperature range (Section 6.4, IDD parameter). This value is measured with no load and VO = 1.5 V, confirming its suitability for micropower designs where total system current must remain below 10 mA.
Is the TLV2231CDBVRG4 unity-gain stable with capacitive loads?
Yes, the TLV2231CDBVRG4 is unity-gain stable with up to 100 pF capacitive load and 600 Ω series resistance, delivering 48° phase margin at 5 V (Section 6.7). For larger capacitive loads (e.g., >500 pF), TI recommends adding a 50 Ω isolation resistor (RISO) in series with the output, as documented in Section 7.1.1 - a technique that preserves DC accuracy while suppressing ringing.
