Product details
Overview
TLV2241CD from Texas Instruments is a single-channel micropower rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier in SOIC-8 package, delivering 1 µA/channel supply current, 5.5 kHz gain bandwidth product, and 600 µV typical input offset voltage at 2.7 V. It operates from 2.5 V to 12 V and supports commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), making it suitable for ultra-low-power sensor signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2241CD datasheet, TLV2241CD pinout, TLV2241CD application, or TLV2241CD equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, validated SOIC-8 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in Li-ion–powered systems, and two confirmed alternative op-amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TLV2241CD employs CMOS input stage architecture enabling ultralow input bias current (≤550 pA) and rail-to-rail common-mode input range (0 V to VCC). Its output stage delivers rail-to-rail swing with ±200 µA drive capability and maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 100 pF.
Designed for single-supply operation, the device achieves 100 dB CMRR and 100 V/mV open-loop gain at 2.7 V, supporting precision DC-coupled amplification in high-impedance sensor interfaces where megaohm-level feedback networks are used.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1 µA per channel - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensor nodes. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 5.5 kHz - sufficient for DC to low-frequency (<1 kHz) signal conditioning of thermistors, strain gauges, and pH sensors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 600 µV typical (3 mV max) - ensures <±1 LSB error in 12-bit ADC front-ends with gain ≤10. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Input common-mode range 0 V to VCC; output swing within 180 mV of rails - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3 V or 2.7 V systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 12 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), 3.3 V logic, and 5 V/12 V industrial rails. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤550 pA (full temp range) - allows use with >10 MΩ source impedances without significant DC error. |
| PSRR | ≥65 dB (2.7–5 V) - rejects noise from noisy digital supplies in mixed-signal PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
TLV2241CD is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with standard JEDEC outline, 1.27 mm pitch, and 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm footprint. Thermal resistance θJA = 176 °C/W enables operation up to 70°C ambient without heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing; capable of sourcing/sinking ±200 µA into 500 kΩ load. |
| 2 (IN–) | Inverting input | High-impedance CMOS node; accepts signals from 0 V to VCC with 100 dB CMRR. |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance CMOS node; supports direct connection to high-Z sensors (e.g., thermocouples, photodiodes). |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to low-noise analog ground plane; separates signal return from digital ground. |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–12 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic + 6.8 µF tantalum decoupling per TI layout guidelines. |
| 7 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected to prevent unintended capacitance or ESD path. |
| 8 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; floating pin; no routing or soldering required. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2401CD | Lower VIO (390 µV typ), same 1 µA ICC, but only rail-to-rail output (not input); 5 kHz GBW. | Cannot accept inputs near VCC - unsuitable for high-side current sensing or sensor biasing above mid-rail. | Select TLV2401CD only when input common-mode range < VCC–0.5 V is acceptable and lower offset is critical. |
| OPA348AIDBVR | Higher ICC (45 µA), 1 MHz GBW, rail-to-rail I/O, 10 µV VIO; SOT-23-5 package. | Not micropower - reduces battery life by >95% in always-on applications; higher speed unnecessary for DC sensor signals. | Choose OPA348AIDBVR only when bandwidth >100 kHz or offset <10 µV is mandatory, and power budget allows. |
Compared with TLV2401CD and OPA348AIDBVR, the TLV2241CD uniquely balances true rail-to-rail input capability, sub-1-µA quiescent current, and adequate 5.5-kHz bandwidth for DC-coupled sensor interfaces - making it irreplaceable in long-life, single-supply, high-impedance measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLV2241CD?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TLV2241CD is 16.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 12 V. Operation beyond 12 V risks parametric degradation and reduced reliability. Electrical characteristics are fully specified at 2.7 V, 5 V, and 12 V per the SLOS329C datasheet.
Does TLV2241CD support rail-to-rail input at 2.5 V supply?
Yes, TLV2241CD supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range (0 V to VCC) down to 2.5 V supply, verified across the full commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). At 2.5 V, input offset voltage remains ≤3000 µV and CMRR ≥53 dB, ensuring usable DC accuracy in Li-ion–powered systems.
Can TLV2241CD drive a 10 nF capacitive load stably?
No - TLV2241CD is characterized for stability with ≤100 pF capacitive load. Driving 10 nF (10,000 pF) will cause severe phase margin degradation and likely oscillation. For larger loads, external isolation resistor (≥100 Ω) or unity-gain buffer configuration with compensation network is required per Figure 24 in the TLV2241 datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of TLV2241CD in SOIC-8 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for TLV2241CD in SOIC-8 (D) package is 176 °C/W under JEDEC Low-K test board conditions (no airflow). This value assumes proper PCB copper pour and 0.1 µF + 6.8 µF local decoupling; actual θJA improves with enhanced copper area or forced airflow.
Is TLV2241CD pin-compatible with other members of the TLV224x family?
No - TLV2241CD (single-channel, SOIC-8) has different pinout than TLV2242CD (dual-channel, SOIC-8) and TLV2244CD (quad-channel, SOIC-14). While all share identical electrical specs, their pin assignments differ: TLV2241CD uses pins 1–4 and 6 for signal I/O, whereas TLV2242CD allocates pins 1–8 across two independent amplifiers. PCB layout is not interchangeable.
