Product details
Overview
TLV2231CDBVT 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 supply, and 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz - optimized for low-voltage (2.7–10 V), single-supply signal conditioning in space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2231CDBVT datasheet, TLV2231CDBVT pinout, TLV2231CDBVT application, or TLV2231CDBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output swing, 1 pA typical input bias current, 3 mV max input offset voltage over 0°C to 70°C, 750–1200 µA supply current, and SOT-23-5 layout compatibility with high-impedance sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The TLV2231CDBVT employs a CMOS input stage with ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typ) and high input impedance (>1 TΩ common-mode, >540 GΩ differential), enabling accurate amplification of high-impedance sources like piezoelectric transducers. Its rail-to-rail output stage supports full dynamic range across 2.7–10 V supplies without requiring split rails.
It achieves stability driving 600 Ω loads and moderate capacitive loads (up to ~5000 pF with isolation resistor), with phase margin ≥48° at unity gain and 100 pF load. The device is fully characterized at 3 V and 5 V, with guaranteed operation from 0°C to +70°C (C-grade).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - enables direct integration into 3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2 MHz at VDD = 5 V - supports stable closed-loop gain up to ~20 at 100 kHz for sensor signal amplification. |
| Slew Rate | 1.6 V/µs at VDD = 5 V - ensures faithful reproduction of fast-changing analog signals (e.g., audio preamp transients). |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 3 mV over 0°C to +70°C - limits DC error in precision DC-coupled gain stages without trimming. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - minimizes voltage drop across high-impedance source networks (e.g., >100 MΩ sensors). |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full-scale output (e.g., 0.01 V to 4.99 V at 5 V supply), maximizing ADC utilization. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 15 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - critical for low-noise amplification of microvolt-level sensor outputs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, surface-mount, tape-and-reel compatible. Optimized layout separates IN+ and IN– by GND to minimize coupling; OUT and IN– co-located for compact feedback routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN+ | Noninverting input | High-impedance node for reference or signal input; accepts common-mode voltage down to VDD–. |
| 2: VDD–/GND | Negative power supply / ground | Reference return path for both inputs and output; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 3: IN– | Inverting input | Feedback node; placed adjacent to OUT to minimize parasitic inductance in high-frequency loops. |
| 4: OUT | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 600 Ω loads directly; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling at VDD+. |
| 5: VDD+ | Positive power supply | Accepts 2.7–10 V; connects to filtered supply; shares decoupling capacitor with adjacent ICs if same rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Enables maximum signal dynamic range in single-supply systems, reducing need for level-shifting before ADCs. |
| 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise | Preserves signal integrity in low-amplitude sensor front-ends (e.g., thermopiles, photodiodes) without added filtering. |
| 1 pA typical input bias current | Eliminates significant DC error when interfacing with megaohm-range sources like pH electrodes or piezoelectric elements. |
| 2.7 V minimum supply voltage | Supports battery-powered designs using single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or two alkaline cells (2.4–3.2 V). |
| Optimized SOT-23-5 pinout | Ground between inputs suppresses leakage paths; OUT/IN– adjacency simplifies stable noninverting/inverting layout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture; 0.1 µV/°C offset drift vs TLV2231CDBVT's 0.5 µV/°C; higher 350 kHz GBW but lower 1.2 V/µs slew rate. | Better for DC-critical applications (e.g., precision weigh scales); less suitable for AC-coupled audio or fast pulse response. | Choose OPA333AIDBVR when ultra-low drift dominates; TLV2231CDBVT preferred for cost-sensitive, moderate-speed signal chains. |
| MCP6001UT-E/OT | Lower 1 MHz GBW and 0.6 V/µs slew rate; similar 1 pA bias current but higher 25 nV/√Hz noise; rated for 1.8–6 V supply. | Targeted at ultra-low-power MCU peripherals; insufficient bandwidth for 20 kHz audio or fast data acquisition. | Select MCP6001UT-E/OT only for sub-100 kHz, battery-life-optimized designs; TLV2231CDBVT offers superior speed/noise trade-off. |
Compared with OPA333AIDBVR and MCP6001UT-E/OT, TLV2231CDBVT provides the best balance of 2 MHz bandwidth, 15 nV/√Hz noise, rail-to-rail output, and 1 pA bias current in the SOT-23-5 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, single-supply analog front-ends demanding both speed and precision.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the TLV2231CDBVT?
The TLV2231CDBVT is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range is validated per its "C" suffix designation and applies to all electrical characteristics in the datasheet unless otherwise noted. It is not rated for extended industrial temperatures (–40°C to +85°C), which apply to the TLV2231IDBV variant. Designers must ensure ambient PCB temperature remains within this window during full-load operation.
Does the TLV2231CDBVT support true rail-to-rail input?
No, the TLV2231CDBVT features rail-to-rail *output* swing only. Its common-mode input voltage range extends to the negative rail (VDD–) but stops 1.3 V below the positive rail (VDD+ – 1.3 V) at 5 V supply. For example, with 5 V supply, valid input common-mode range is 0 V to 3.7 V. This differs from full rail-to-rail input/output op-amps and must be considered when biasing input signals near VDD+.
Can the TLV2231CDBVT drive a 600 Ω load effectively?
Yes, the TLV2231CDBVT is explicitly characterized driving 600 Ω loads at 5 V supply, delivering ±4 mA output current with rail-to-rail swing (e.g., VOL ≤ 160 mV at 1 mA sink). Its 1.6 V/µs slew rate and 2 MHz GBW ensure fidelity for audio and instrumentation signals into such loads. Layout best practices - including short traces and local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling at VDD+ - are essential to maintain performance.
What is the typical supply current of the TLV2231CDBVT at 3 V operation?
At 3 V supply and +25°C, the TLV2231CDBVT draws 750–1200 µA typical supply current with no load. Over the full 0°C to +70°C range, maximum supply current is 1500 µA. This ultra-low quiescent current enables use in battery-powered devices where average system current budget is under 1 mA, such as handheld environmental monitors or wearable health sensors.
How does the pinout of the TLV2231CDBVT improve PCB layout?
The TLV2231CDBVT's SOT-23-5 pinout places GND (Pin 2) between IN+ (Pin 1) and IN– (Pin 3) to minimize leakage and capacitive coupling between inputs. OUT (Pin 4) and IN– (Pin 3) are adjacent to simplify short, low-inductance feedback paths. This layout reduces noise pickup and improves stability - especially critical in high-gain or high-frequency configurations - without requiring complex board routing or guard traces.
