Product details
Overview
TLV2473CD from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier with shutdown functionality, 2.8MHz gain-bandwidth product, 600μA per channel supply current, and ±10mA output drive at 180mV from rails-designed for low-voltage sensor interface and portable medical equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2473CD datasheet, TLV2473CD pinout, TLV2473CD application, or TLV2473CD equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, MSOP-10 package mapping, shutdown timing behavior, and real-world design implications for battery-powered signal conditioning circuits.
Technical Context
The TLV2473CD implements a CMOS input stage enabling 2.5pA input bias current and rail-to-rail common-mode input range (0 V to VDD). Its output stage supports true rail-to-rail swing under load: ±10mA at 180mV from supply rails and ±35mA at 500mV off-rail.
It features active shutdown with 350nA/channel (3V) or 1000nA/channel (5V) quiescent current, fast turn-on/turn-off times (5μs / 250ns), and stable operation into capacitive loads ≥10pF when using series nulling resistor (RNULL ≥20Ω).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2.8MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffer or closed-loop amplification up to ~200kHz with phase margin >61° into 10kΩ//1000pF. |
| Supply Current per Channel | 600μA - supports multi-day battery life in 3V coin-cell–powered instrumentation with minimal thermal rise. |
| Input Bias Current | 2.5pA - preserves high-impedance sensor node accuracy (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoresistive bridges) without significant offset drift. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±10mA at 180mV from rail - drives 10kΩ loads fully across 2.7–6V supply while maintaining <200mV headroom. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 350nA/ch at 3V - reduces system standby power to sub-μW level, critical for always-on sensor wake-up circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 250μV (typ) - ensures ≤0.5mV total error in 12-bit ADC front-end applications with gain ≤20. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6V - compatible with single Li-ion, two alkaline, or regulated 3.3V/5V rails without external level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
TLV2473CD is housed in a 10-pin MSOP (DGQ) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by beveled edge or molded dot; pin numbering follows standard MSOP top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Inverting amplifier output; rail-to-rail capable; requires RNULL ≥20Ω for stability into >10pF capacitive loads. |
| 2 | IN−1 | Inverting input; high-impedance CMOS node; sensitive to PCB leakage and ESD. |
| 3 | IN+1 | Non-inverting input; accepts signals from 0V to VDD; used for unity-gain buffers or active filters. |
| 4 | VDD | Positive supply rail; bypass with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor close to pin for noise immunity. |
| 5 | IN+2 | Non-inverting input of second op-amp; electrically isolated from Channel 1 except via shared VDD/GND. |
| 6 | IN−2 | Inverting input of second op-amp; matches Channel 1 performance within 10% parameter spread. |
| 7 | OUT2 | Second amplifier output; identical drive capability and rail-to-rail behavior as OUT1. |
| 8 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance plane connected directly to VDD bypass cap ground. |
| 9 | NC | No internal connection; left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability only. |
| 10 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; pulls to GND to disable both amplifiers; logic-compatible with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Enables full dynamic range utilization in single-supply systems (e.g., 3V ADC reference = 0–3V input span). |
| 600μA/channel supply current | Reduces total quiescent power to 1.2mA for dual-channel operation-ideal for energy-harvesting nodes. |
| 350nA/channel shutdown current | Lowers system standby power to 700nA, extending shelf life of battery-backed medical sensors. |
| ±10mA output at 180mV from rail | Drives 10-bit DAC buffers, LED drivers, or transducer excitation circuits without external boost stages. |
| 2.5pA input bias current | Minimizes voltage error across high-Z sources (e.g., 10MΩ thermistor networks), preserving measurement fidelity. |
| MSOP-10 thermal pad | Improves thermal resistance (θJA = 52.3°C/W) for sustained output current in compact PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel rail-to-rail op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6022-I/SN | Higher supply current (1mA/ch), no shutdown, 10MHz GBW, 7mV max VIO. | Better for wideband active filters but unsuitable for ultra-low-power standby modes. | Select when bandwidth >2.8MHz is required and shutdown is unnecessary. |
| OPA2333AIDGKR | Zero-drift architecture, 17μV max VIO, 17μA/ch supply current, no shutdown, 350kHz GBW. | Superior DC precision for strain gauge bridges but insufficient bandwidth for audio or fast sensor sampling. | Select when nanovolt-level offset stability over temperature is critical and speed is secondary. |
Compared with MCP6022-I/SN and OPA2333AIDGKR, TLV2473CD uniquely balances micropower operation (600μA/ch), rail-to-rail I/O, integrated shutdown (350nA/ch), and 2.8MHz bandwidth-making it optimal for battery-constrained, medium-speed analog front-ends where both precision and power efficiency are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TLV2473CD can drive without oscillation?
The TLV2473CD remains stable into capacitive loads up to 10pF with direct connection. For loads exceeding 10pF, TI recommends adding a series nulling resistor (RNULL) ≥20Ω between the output and load capacitance. This configuration maintains phase margin >61° at 10kΩ//1000pF, preventing ringing or oscillation in sensor buffering applications. The TLV2473CD datasheet Figure 42 provides layout guidance for this implementation.
Does the TLV2473CD support true rail-to-rail output swing under load?
Yes-the TLV2473CD delivers true rail-to-rail output swing: it sources/sinks ±10mA while staying within 180mV of each supply rail (VDD or GND), and ±35mA while staying within 500mV. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables (pages 4–7 of SLOS232E) for both 3V and 5V operation. This capability eliminates need for external level-shifting in single-supply data acquisition systems.
How does the shutdown function behave on the TLV2473CD?
The TLV2473CD's SHDN pin is active-low: pulling it to GND disables both amplifiers, placing outputs in high-impedance state and reducing supply current to 350nA/channel (at 3V) or 1000nA/channel (at 5V). Turn-off time is 250ns; turn-on time is 5μs (measured from SHDN logic transition to half-final IDD). These values are specified in the Operating Characteristics table (page 6, SLOS232E) and validated across –40°C to +125°C.
Can the TLV2473CD operate from a 2.7V supply while maintaining full specifications?
Yes-the TLV2473CD is fully specified from 2.7V to 6V. Key parameters-including 2.8MHz gain-bandwidth product, 600μA/channel supply current, 250μV typical input offset voltage, and ±10mA output drive-are guaranteed at 2.7V (per Electrical Characteristics tables on pages 4–7, SLOS232E). This makes it suitable for direct integration with single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline battery systems without regulation.
What is the thermal performance of the TLV2473CD in MSOP-10 (DGQ) package?
The TLV2473CD in MSOP-10 (DGQ) package has θJA = 52.3°C/W and θJC = 4.7°C/W (per Dissipation Rating Table, page 4, SLOS232E). With its exposed thermal pad soldered to a 1-in² copper area, it sustains ±35mA output current continuously at +85°C ambient without derating. This enables reliable operation in compact, sealed enclosures like handheld diagnostic tools.
