Product details
Overview
TLV2401IDR 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 supply current per channel, 5.5 kHz gain bandwidth, and operates from 2.5 V to 16 V supply - enabling use in Li-ion–powered sensor front-ends and ultra-low-power data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2401IDR datasheet, TLV2401IDR pinout, TLV2401IDR application, or TLV2401IDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its sub-1-µA quiescent current, ±100 mV beyond-rail input range (–0.1 V to VCC + 5 V), 390 µV typical offset voltage, reverse-battery fault resilience, and SOT-23-5 packaging for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TLV2401IDR employs a hybrid PNP/NPN input stage enabling true rail-to-rail input operation and over-the-rail capability up to VCC + 5 V. Its internal reverse-battery protection circuit limits supply current to <100 nA under –18 V VCC, preventing damage during incorrect battery installation.
DC precision is maintained via 120 dB CMRR, 130 V/mV open-loop gain at 2.7 V, and low input bias current (100 pA typ at 25°C). The device is specified across –40°C to 125°C (I-suffix) and supports stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100 pF, achieving 60° phase margin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply current | 880 nA/channel - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and portable medical monitors |

| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance sensor interface node; draws only 100 pA bias current at 25°C |
| 3 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for input bias currents and output load; must be tied to clean system ground plane |
| 4 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable output driving resistive or light capacitive loads; 2.65 V high-level swing at 2.7 V supply |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single-supply input supporting 2.5–16 V; reverse-battery protected up to –18 V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2401CDR | Commercial-grade (0°C to 70°C); identical electrical specs except wider VIO max (1500 µV) and no extended temp qualification | Suitable only for consumer-grade portable instruments and non-critical industrial controls | Select TLV2401CDR only when ambient operating temperature remains within 0°C–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability requirements |
| LTC1540CS5#TRMPBF | Higher supply current (600 nA vs 880 nA), lower GBW (2.5 kHz), no reverse-battery protection, but includes integrated reference and comparator | Better suited for supervisory functions (e.g., battery low-voltage detection) than precision analog signal conditioning | Choose LTC1540 only when combining comparator + reference + op-amp functionality justifies trade-offs in input range and protection features |
Compared with TLV2401CDR and LTC1540CS5#TRMPBF, TLV2401IDR uniquely combines industrial temperature range, reverse-battery protection, and over-the-rail input capability - making it the sole option for ruggedized battery-powered instrumentation requiring guaranteed performance from –40°C to 125°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLV2401IDR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TLV2401IDR is 17 V. However, the recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 16 V. Operation above 16 V risks parametric degradation or permanent damage, even if within absolute maximum ratings. Reverse supply voltage tolerance is –18 V, with supply current limited to <100 nA at 25°C under that condition.
Does TLV2401IDR support rail-to-rail input and output simultaneously?
Yes, TLV2401IDR supports true rail-to-rail input and output operation. Its input common-mode range extends from –0.1 V to VCC + 5 V, and its output swings within 180 mV of each rail under 50 µA load. This allows full utilization of supply headroom in single-supply configurations - critical for maximizing dynamic range in low-voltage ADC interfaces.
Can TLV2401IDR be used with input signals exceeding the positive supply rail?
Yes, TLV2401IDR accepts input voltages up to VCC + 5 V without damage or phase inversion. This over-the-rail capability stems from its dual-input-stage architecture (PNP + NPN followers). While input bias current increases above VCC, the device maintains functionality - enabling direct interfacing with sensors or transducers referenced to higher potentials, such as 5 V or 12 V bias rails.
What is the typical input offset voltage of TLV2401IDR and how does it vary with temperature?
The typical input offset voltage of TLV2401IDR is 390 µV at 25°C, with a maximum of 1500 µV across the full –40°C to 125°C range. Its offset voltage drift is 3 µV/°C, meaning total offset variation due to temperature is approximately ±375 µV over the industrial range - well within design margins for most precision sensor applications requiring <1 mV total error.
Is TLV2401IDR pin-compatible with other members of the TLV240x family?
No, TLV2401IDR is not pin-compatible with TLV2402 or TLV2404. As a single-channel device in SOT-23-5, it has a unique 5-pin configuration (IN–, IN+, GND, OUT, VCC). TLV2402 (dual) uses 8-pin MSOP or SOIC, and TLV2404 (quad) uses 14-pin TSSOP or SOIC. Pinouts differ fundamentally - substitution requires PCB redesign unless using socket adapters or discrete replacements.
