Product details
Overview
TLV2231IDBVT 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, and 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise - optimized for 3 V and 5 V single-supply operation in precision signal conditioning of high-impedance sources like piezoelectric transducers.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2231IDBVT datasheet, TLV2231IDBVT pinout, TLV2231IDBVT application, or TLV2231IDBVT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation insights, and two confirmed alternative op-amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TLV2231IDBVT uses a CMOS input stage enabling ultra-low 1 pA typical input bias current and 1 TΩ common-mode input resistance, supporting accurate amplification of microamp-level sensor signals. Its rail-to-rail output swing (within 100 mV of rails at 1 mA load) ensures maximum dynamic range when interfacing directly with 3 V or 5 V ADCs.
It features internal compensation for unity-gain stability into 600 Ω loads and supports capacitive load drive up to 5000 pF with external isolation resistor (RISO). Phase margin remains ≥48° at 25°C with 100 pF load and 600 Ω termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - enables direct use in 3 V battery-powered systems and 5 V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2 MHz at VDD = 5 V - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 200 kHz for anti-aliasing filter interfaces. |
| Slew Rate | 1.6 V/µs at VDD = 5 V - allows clean 1 VPP output at ≤800 kHz without slew-induced distortion. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 15 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level audio preamplifier stages with source impedances <100 kΩ. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typ - minimizes voltage error across high-value feedback networks (e.g., 10 MΩ resistors induce <10 µV offset). |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes negative rail (VDD–) - permits true single-supply operation with inputs referenced to ground in sensor front-ends. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full 0–3 V or 0–5 V output span into 600 Ω, matching SAR ADC reference ranges without headroom loss. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 5-pin surface-mount device with optimized layout - IN+ and IN− separated 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 biasing sensor outputs or reference voltages without loading. |
| 2: VDD–/GND | Negative power supply / ground reference | Return path for all input/output currents; must be low-impedance to maintain CMRR >55 dB. |
| 3: IN− | Inverting input | Connects to feedback network; placement adjacent to OUT minimizes parasitic inductance in high-speed loops. |
| 4: OUT | Amplified output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±1 mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing; drives 600 Ω telecom loads directly. |
| 5: VDD+ | Positive power supply | Accepts 2.7–10 V; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 2 mm for stable 2 MHz operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Enables full-scale signal capture in 3 V/5 V ADC interfaces without supply headroom overhead. |
| 15 nV/√Hz input voltage noise | Preserves resolution in low-amplitude sensor amplification (e.g., thermopile, photodiode) below 10 kHz. |
| 1 pA input bias current | Eliminates significant offset drift in high-Z transducer circuits (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoelectric sensors). |
| 2.7 V minimum supply | Supports direct integration into coin-cell (3 V) and Li-ion (3.3–4.2 V) powered portable instrumentation. |
| Stable into 600 Ω loads | Meets telecom line-driver requirements without external buffering; simplifies BOM in optical module interfaces. |

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 VIO drift vs TLV2231IDBVT's 0.5 µV/°C; higher 350 µA supply current. | Better DC accuracy for long-term sensor monitoring; less suitable for ultra-low-power (<1 mA) battery apps. | Select OPA333AIDBVR when VIO drift dominates system error budget over temperature. |
| MCP6001UT-E/OT | Lower 1 MHz GBW and 0.6 V/µs slew rate; 100 nV/√Hz noise; same SOT-23-5 package and 1.8–6 V supply range. | Adequate for DC/low-frequency sensor buffering but not for audio or fast DAQ settling. | Select MCP6001UT-E/OT where cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth/noise requirements. |
Compared with TLV2231IDBVT, OPA333AIDBVR trades higher quiescent current for superior DC stability, while MCP6001UT-E/OT offers lower cost at reduced AC performance - making TLV2231IDBVT the optimal balance of rail-to-rail output, low noise, and micropower operation in 3–5 V systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for TLV2231IDBVT?
The TLV2231IDBVT is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the 'I' grade suffix in its part number. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and absolute maximum ratings - ensuring reliable performance in programmable logic controllers, server PSUs, and outdoor sensor nodes where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits.
Does TLV2231IDBVT support rail-to-rail input?
No, TLV2231IDBVT 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+) - e.g., 0 V to 3.7 V at VDD = 5 V. This is sufficient for ground-referenced sensor signals but requires level-shifting for full-rail input applications.
Can TLV2231IDBVT drive a 600 Ω load effectively?
Yes, TLV2231IDBVT is fully characterized driving 600 Ω loads at both 3 V and 5 V supplies. At VDD = 5 V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing (≥4.6 V high-level, ≤160 mV low-level at 1 mA) with 2 MHz bandwidth - meeting telecom line-driver requirements without external buffers, as confirmed in Section 6.6 of the official datasheet.
What is the typical input offset voltage for TLV2231IDBVT?
The typical input offset voltage for TLV2231IDBVT is 0.71 mV at VDD = 5 V and 25°C, with a maximum of 3 mV across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is specified in Section 6.6 of the TI datasheet and enables ≤0.015% gain error in 4–20 mA PLC input stages using standard 250 Ω shunts.
Is TLV2231IDBVT pin-compatible with other SOT-23-5 op-amps?
TLV2231IDBVT follows the industry-standard SOT-23-5 pinout (IN+, GND, IN−, OUT, VDD+), matching devices like MCP6001 and OPA333. However, functional compatibility depends on supply range, bandwidth, and noise - e.g., substituting OPA333 requires verifying that higher quiescent current (350 µA vs 1.2 mA) meets system power budgets.
