Product details
Overview
TLV2473CN 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 ±35mA output drive at 500mV from rails-designed for low-voltage sensor interface and portable medical equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2473CN datasheet, TLV2473CN pinout, TLV2473CN application, or TLV2473CN 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 TLV2473CN integrates two independent high-drive op-amps sharing a common shutdown control line, enabling simultaneous channel disable with 1μA typical shutdown current at 5V. Its CMOS input stage delivers 2.5pA input bias current and rail-to-rail swing on both inputs and outputs, supporting full dynamic range in 2.7V–6V single-supply systems.
It features 2.8MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 1.5V/μs slew rate (typ), and stable operation into capacitive loads ≥10pF when using recommended series nulling resistors. Phase margin remains ≥61° with 1nF load capacitance and 10kΩ feedback resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | Dual - enables compact dual-signal conditioning without cross-talk penalties in shared-bias designs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6V - supports direct integration into Li-ion (3.3V/3.7V) and alkaline (4.5V–6V) powered systems. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2.8MHz - allows stable closed-loop gain of 10 up to 280kHz, suitable for anti-aliasing and sensor amplification. |
| Output Drive | ±35mA at 500mV from rail - drives 10kΩ loads to full scale while maintaining linearity, eliminating need for external buffers. |
| Shutdown Current | 1000nA/ch at 5V - reduces system standby power to sub-μW level, critical for multi-day battery life in portable diagnostics. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 250μV (typ) - ensures <0.01% error in 2.5V full-scale measurements, sufficient for 12-bit ADC front-ends. |
| Input Bias Current | 2.5pA - enables high-impedance pH electrode and photodiode interfaces without significant DC error. |
Pinout & Package
TLV2473CN is housed in a 10-pin MSOP (DGQ) package with exposed thermal pad, measuring 3mm × 3mm × 1.0mm. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled edge or molded dot; the package supports standard reflow soldering profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - rail-to-rail capable, sinks/sources ±35mA within 500mV of supply rails. |
| 2 | IN− A | Inverting input A - high-impedance CMOS node; requires matched trace impedance for noise rejection. |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input A - accepts signals from 0V to VDD; compatible with resistive sensor bridges. |
| 4 | VDD | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1μF ceramic) required within 2mm for stability. |
| 5 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input B - electrically isolated from Channel A; shares no internal bias network. |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input B - identical electrical characteristics to Pin 2; supports differential pair configurations. |
| 7 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - independently driven; no crosstalk specification implies >80dB isolation at 1kHz. |
| 8 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect directly to PCB ground plane under thermal pad for thermal performance. |
| 9 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control - logic low (<0.8V) disables both amplifiers; high-Z output state prevents loading downstream stages. |
| 10 | NC | No internal connection - left unconnected; not used for thermal or electrical purposes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Enables full 0V–VDD signal swing on both inputs and outputs, maximizing ADC utilization in 3.3V systems. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 1000nA/channel at 5V allows multi-week battery operation in intermittent-sampling applications like wearable ECG. |
| High output drive | ±35mA capability eliminates external driver stages when driving 10kΩ instrumentation loads or SAR ADC sample capacitors. |
| Low input bias current | 2.5pA enables direct interfacing with high-Z sources (e.g., glass pH electrodes, piezoelectric sensors) without guard traces. |
| Stable into capacitive loads | Maintains ≥61° phase margin with 1nF load when using 20Ω series nulling resistor, simplifying filter design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual op-amp with shutdown applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2473CDGQ | Same die, C-suffix (0°C to +70°C) vs N-suffix (–40°C to +125°C); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Not rated for extended industrial temperature range; unsuitable for automotive under-hood or outdoor metering. | Select TLV2473CDGQ only for commercial-grade indoor applications where ambient stays below 70°C. |
| OPA2333AIDGKR | Zero-drift architecture (0.02μV/°C drift), lower offset (10μV max), but higher supply current (17μA/ch) and no shutdown pin. | Lacks integrated shutdown; requires external enable circuitry and consumes ~28× more active current than TLV2473CN. | Choose OPA2333AIDGKR only when ultra-low drift dominates over power budget, and shutdown is implemented externally. |
Compared with TLV2473CDGQ, the TLV2473CN offers guaranteed operation down to –40°C and up to +125°C, making it suitable for harsh environments; versus OPA2333AIDGKR, it trades offset stability for 28× lower quiescent power and built-in shutdown-critical for energy-constrained deployments.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TLV2473CN?
The TLV2473CN is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting extended industrial requirements. This rating is confirmed in the "Available Options" table and absolute maximum ratings section of the TI SLOS232E datasheet, where the "N" suffix explicitly denotes the –40°C to +125°C grade. It is not qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 stress testing.
Does the TLV2473CN support true rail-to-rail output swing under load?
Yes-the TLV2473CN delivers rail-to-rail output swing with ≤180mV headroom at ±10mA load and ≤500mV headroom at ±35mA load, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics tables (VOL/VOH columns at 10mA). This behavior holds across the full 2.7V–6V supply range and –40°C to +125°C temperature range.
How does the shutdown function behave on the TLV2473CN?
When SHDN (Pin 9) is pulled low (<0.8V), both amplifiers enter ultra-low-power mode drawing 1000nA per channel at 5V (350nA at 3V), and their outputs go high-impedance. Turn-off time is 250ns; turn-on time is 5μs-measured from SHDN edge to supply current reaching 50% of final value, per the Operating Characteristics table.
Can the TLV2473CN drive a 1000pF capacitive load stably?
Yes-but only with a series nulling resistor (RNULL) of ≥20Ω placed between the output and the capacitive load, as specified in Figure 42 and Application Information. Without RNULL, phase margin drops below 61° at 1nF, risking oscillation; with RNULL = 20Ω, phase margin remains ≥61° per Typical Characteristics Figure 18.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for the TLV2473CN?
The TLV2473CN supports a common-mode input voltage range from 0V to VDD (rail-to-rail input), verified across all supply voltages (2.7V–6V) and temperatures (–40°C to +125°C). This is explicitly stated in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and confirmed in Figure 1 (VIO vs VICR plots).
