Product details
Overview
TLV2231IDBVR from Texas Instruments is a single, rail-to-rail output, low-power LinCMOS™ operational amplifier in SOT-23-5 package, delivering 2 MHz gain-bandwidth, 1.6 V/µs slew rate at 5 V, and 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz - optimized for low-voltage (2.7–10 V) signal conditioning in space-constrained, battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2231IDBVR datasheet, TLV2231IDBVR pinout, TLV2231IDBVR application, or TLV2231IDBVR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, validated SOT-23-5 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in high-impedance sensor interfaces and ADC drivers, and two confirmed alternative op-amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TLV2231IDBVR employs a CMOS input stage enabling 1 pA typical input bias current and rail-to-rail output swing - critical for preserving dynamic range when interfacing with 3 V or 5 V ADCs. Its micropower operation (850–1600 µA supply current) and wide supply range (2.7–10 V) support portable and industrial sensing nodes.
It features high open-loop gain (≥0.3 V/mV at 600 Ω load), 70 dB minimum CMRR and PSRR, and stable unity-gain operation into 600 Ω loads - making it suitable for precision transducer amplification and multiplexed data acquisition where low noise, low drift, and output headroom are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - supports direct integration into 3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2 MHz at VDD = 5 V - enables stable amplification of audio-band and sensor signals up to ~200 kHz at moderate gain. |
| Slew Rate | 1.6 V/µs at VDD = 5 V - ensures faithful reproduction of fast-rising sensor pulses or DAC outputs without distortion. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 15 nV/√Hz at f = 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level piezoelectric or thermopile signal chains. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typ - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sources (>1 MΩ), e.g., pH electrodes or photodiode amps. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full 0–VDD output range, maximizing ADC utilization and eliminating negative supply requirements. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 5-pin surface-mount device with optimized layout - inputs separated by ground pin to suppress coupling, and OUT/IN– co-located for compact feedback routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN+ | Noninverting input | High-impedance CMOS node; accepts signals from sensors or reference dividers without loading. |
| 2: VDD–/GND | Negative power supply / ground reference | Low-impedance return path; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise injection into input stage. |
| 3: IN– | Inverting input | Feedback node; placed adjacent to OUT (Pin 4) to minimize parasitic inductance in closed-loop configurations. |
| 4: OUT | Amplifier output | Capable of driving 600 Ω loads; rail-to-rail swing enables direct connection to SAR or delta-sigma ADC inputs. |
| 5: VDD+ | Positive power supply | Accepts 2.7–10 V; internal regulation ensures consistent performance across supply variation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers full 0 V to VDD output swing - eliminates need for dual supplies in single-ended ADC interfaces. |
| 1 pA input bias current | Enables accurate amplification of ultra-high-impedance sources (e.g., >100 MΩ piezoresistive sensors) without significant offset drift. |
| 15 nV/√Hz input noise | Supports sub-microvolt signal integrity in medical ECG front-ends or precision weigh-scale bridges. |
| 2.7–10 V supply range | Operates directly from Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), USB (5 V), or industrial 9–10 V rails - no LDO required. |
| Stable into 600 Ω | Drives telecom line drivers, relay coils, or analog mux outputs without external buffering. |

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 max offset drift vs TLV2231IDBVR's 0.5 µV/°C; higher quiescent current (17 µA). | Better for DC-critical applications like precision weight scales; less suitable for battery life–constrained designs. | Choose OPA333AIDBVR when long-term offset stability outweighs power budget; avoid if <1 mA supply current is mandatory. |
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Lower bandwidth (1 MHz), higher input noise (30 nV/√Hz), but same SOT-23-5 package and 1.8–6 V supply range. | Cost-optimized for non-critical consumer sensing; insufficient for audio or fast-sampling DAQ. | Select MCP6001T-E/OT only for cost-sensitive, low-bandwidth applications where 2 MHz GBW and 15 nV/√Hz noise are not required. |
Compared with TLV2231IDBVR, OPA333AIDBVR offers superior DC precision at higher power cost, while MCP6001T-E/OT trades bandwidth and noise for lower unit price - making TLV2231IDBVR the balanced choice for industrial-grade, low-power, medium-speed signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TLV2231IDBVR?
The TLV2231IDBVR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is explicitly specified in Section 6.3 of the datasheet under Recommended Operating Conditions for the 'I' grade variant, and validated across all electrical parameters including input offset voltage, CMRR, and supply current.
Does the TLV2231IDBVR support rail-to-rail input?
No, the TLV2231IDBVR does not support 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+), as confirmed in Section 6.3. Only the output is rail-to-rail - a key distinction that affects design of high-side sensing circuits.
Can the TLV2231IDBVR drive a 600 Ω load effectively?
Yes, the TLV2231IDBVR is fully characterized driving 600 Ω loads at both 3 V and 5 V supplies. Section 6.6 confirms VOH ≥ 4.6 V and VOL ≤ 160 mV at 5 V with 4 mA output current, and its 1.6 V/µs slew rate ensures adequate transient response - making it suitable for telecom line drivers and ADC reference buffers.
What is the typical input bias current of the TLV2231IDBVR?
The TLV2231IDBVR has a typical input bias current of 1 pA at +25°C, as specified in Sections 6.4 and 6.6 under IIB (Input Bias Current). This ultra-low value is enabled by its LinCMOS™ input stage and remains ≤150 pA over the full –40°C to +85°C range, critical for high-impedance sensor interfacing.
Is the TLV2231IDBVR pin-compatible with other SOT-23-5 op-amps?
The TLV2231IDBVR uses TI's standard SOT-23-5 pinout (IN+, GND, IN–, OUT, VDD+), matching industry conventions. However, pin compatibility alone does not guarantee functional interchangeability - always verify supply range, bandwidth, noise, and output drive capability against the target application, as seen in comparisons with OPA333AIDBVR and MCP6001T-E/OT.
