Product details
Overview
TLV2401CDR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output micro-power operational amplifier with reverse battery protection up to 18 V. It delivers 880 nA/channel supply current, 5.5 kHz gain bandwidth, and operates from 2.5 V to 16 V - enabling ultra-low-power sensor signal conditioning in Li-ion–powered portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2401CDR datasheet, TLV2401CDR pinout, TLV2401CDR application, or TLV2401CDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its sub-1-µA quiescent current, ±20-V differential input rating, –0.1 V to VCC+5 V common-mode range, rail-to-rail output swing, and SOT-23-5 packaging for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TLV2401CDR employs a dual-differential-input architecture: a PNP pair handles inputs from –0.1 V to VCC–0.8 V, while NPN emitter followers engage above VCC–0.8 V to enable 5-V over-the-rail operation without damage. Its reverse-battery protection relies on internal Schottky diode clamping, limiting reverse supply current to <100 nA at 25°C when VCC = –18 V.
DC precision is maintained via 390 µV typical input offset voltage (max 1500 µV over full temperature range), 120 dB CMRR at 25°C, and 130 V/mV open-loop gain at 2.7 V - all specified across 0°C to 70°C (C-suffix) operating range with guaranteed performance down to 2.5 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 880 nA/channel - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes using megaohm-level feedback networks. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 5.5 kHz - supports low-frequency precision amplification (e.g., thermistor, strain gauge, pH electrode signals) without stability issues. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.1 V to VCC+5 V - allows direct interfacing with overvoltage-tolerant sensors and operation beyond supply rails in fault conditions. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings within 180 mV of rails at 50 µA load - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems with limited headroom. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands –18 V supply reversal with <100 nA leakage - eliminates need for external series diodes in battery-powered equipment. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 390 µV typical (1500 µV max) - ensures <1 mV total error in unity-gain buffer configurations with high-impedance sources. |
| PSRR | 100 dB (min) at 2.7–5 V - rejects supply ripple in noisy battery or DC-DC converter environments without additional filtering. |
Pinout & Package
TLV2401CDR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (DBV), optimized for automated assembly and minimal PCB footprint. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin numbering follows standard SOT-23 top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing; capable of sourcing/sinking ±200 µA into high-impedance loads. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for input bias currents and output load current; must connect to low-noise analog ground plane. |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts signals from –0.1 V to VCC+5 V; exhibits <300 pA typical input bias current at 25°C. |
| 4 (VCC) | Positive supply | Supports 2.5–16 V operation; reverse-battery protected up to –18 V with <100 nA leakage. |
| 5 (IN–) | Inverting input | Differential partner to IN+; matched input characteristics ensure low offset drift and high CMRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micro-power operation | 880 nA/channel supply current enables >10-year battery life in wireless sensor transmitters using CR2032 cells. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Full input range (–0.1 V to VCC+5 V) and output swing (within 180 mV of rails) maximize signal fidelity in 2.5–3.3 V systems. |
| Reverse battery protection | Internal Schottky clamping prevents damage and limits reverse current to <100 nA - removes external protection diodes and saves BOM cost. |
| High input impedance | 300 MΩ differential input resistance and <300 pA input bias current allow use with >1 MΩ sensor elements without significant loading error. |
| Low noise at 0.1–10 Hz | Integrated 1/f noise of ~800 nV/√Hz at 10 Hz supports precision DC measurements in medical and environmental monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2401IDR | Same electrical specs but rated for –40°C to 125°C industrial temperature range; higher max input offset voltage (1500 µV) over full range. | Suitable for automotive cabin modules or industrial PLC analog inputs requiring extended thermal robustness. | Select TLV2401IDR when ambient operating temperature exceeds 70°C or AEC-Q200 qualification is required. |
| LPV821DRX | Lower 650 nA supply current and 10 kHz GBW, but no reverse-battery protection; 1.7 V min supply; 350 µV max offset. | Better for ultra-low-power IoT endpoints where reverse polarity is not a concern and higher bandwidth is needed. | Choose LPV821DRX only if reverse-battery protection is unnecessary and sub-1 µA current with improved speed is prioritized. |
Compared with TLV2401IDR, TLV2401CDR offers lower cost and commercial-grade qualification for consumer/portable gear; versus LPV821DRX, it trades 1.5 kHz bandwidth for critical reverse-voltage resilience in battery-replaceable devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for TLV2401CDR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TLV2401CDR is 17 V, with recommended operation from 2.5 V to 16 V. Exceeding 16 V risks parametric degradation, while operation below 2.5 V may cause loss of rail-to-rail output swing and increased input offset voltage drift. Electrical specifications are guaranteed at 2.7 V, 5 V, and 15 V.
Does TLV2401CDR support true rail-to-rail input and output?
Yes, TLV2401CDR supports true rail-to-rail input (–0.1 V to VCC+5 V) and output (within 180 mV of rails at 50 µA load). Its dual-input stage - PNP differential pair plus NPN emitter followers - enables operation beyond the positive rail without damage, making it ideal for overvoltage-tolerant sensor interfaces.
How does reverse battery protection work in TLV2401CDR?
TLV2401CDR incorporates internal Schottky diode clamping that limits reverse supply current to <100 nA at 25°C when VCC = –18 V (inputs grounded, outputs open). This eliminates the need for external series diodes in battery-powered equipment, reducing BOM count and forward-voltage drop while maintaining system reliability during improper battery installation.
What is the input bias current specification for TLV2401CDR?
TLV2401CDR exhibits 100 pA typical input bias current at 25°C (max 350 pA over 0°C to 70°C), enabling accurate amplification of signals from high-impedance sources such as pH electrodes, photodiodes, and thermistors. Its PNP/NPN composite input stage maintains low bias current even when inputs exceed VCC, unlike conventional rail-to-rail op-amps.
Can TLV2401CDR drive capacitive loads?
TLV2401CDR is stable with capacitive loads up to 100 pF, as confirmed by phase margin ≥60° and gain margin ≥15 dB under standard test conditions (RL = 500 kΩ, CL = 100 pF). For larger loads, external isolation resistors (e.g., 10–100 Ω in series with the output) are recommended to maintain stability without compromising DC accuracy.
