Product details
Overview
TLV9042IDDFR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, rail-to-rail input/output (RRIO), ultra-low-voltage operational amplifier optimized for power-constrained applications. It operates from 1.2 V to 5.5 V supply, draws only 10 µA per channel, features ±0.6 mV input offset voltage and 350 kHz gain-bandwidth product, and is used in battery-powered wearable sensors and low-side current sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLV9042IDDFR datasheet, TLV9042IDDFR pinout, TLV9042IDDFR application, or TLV9042IDDFR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in portable electronics and motion detection, and two confirmed alternative op-amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TLV9042IDDFR implements a CMOS input stage with 1 pA typical input bias current and integrated RFI/EMI filtering on input pins. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports direct connection to capacitive loads up to 100 pF without external compensation.
It delivers rail-to-rail output swing within 1–8 mV of either rail at 5.5 V supply and maintains 60–77 dB common-mode rejection across –40°C to +125°C, enabling robust performance in single-supply, low-voltage sensor front-ends and precision analog signal conditioning.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power, rail-to-rail op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9002IDR | Higher IQ (60 µA/ch), wider GBW (1 MHz), same 1.2–5.5 V supply range | Better suited for higher-speed sensor interfaces requiring >100 kHz bandwidth | Select when speed outweighs battery life; not drop-in due to higher current draw |
| LPV821DRX | Lower IQ (650 nA/ch), lower GBW (6.5 kHz), same RRIO and 1.2 V min supply | Optimized for ultra-long-life applications (e.g., 10+ year gas meters) where bandwidth is secondary | Select for extreme energy harvesting or maintenance-free deployments; requires re-optimization of feedback network |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for TLV9042IDDFR?
The TLV9042IDDFR operates down to 1.2 V, making it one of the few operational amplifiers capable of direct interface with 1.5 V coin-cell batteries. This specification is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and is validated per TI's SBOS836H datasheet Section 6.3. The device remains fully functional-including rail-to-rail input/output and 350 kHz gain-bandwidth-at this minimum supply.
Does TLV9042IDDFR support rail-to-rail input and output?
Yes, TLV9042IDDFR supports true rail-to-rail input and output operation. Its input common-mode range extends from V– to V+, and its output swings within 1 mV of either rail under light load conditions (100 kΩ to VS/2) at 5.5 V supply. At 1.2 V supply, output headroom is 0.75–7 mV from each rail. These values are measured per Section 6.7 of the official datasheet and enable maximum dynamic range in low-voltage ADC interfacing.
What is the quiescent current of TLV9042IDDFR per channel?
The TLV9042IDDFR draws 10 µA per channel at 5.5 V supply and 25°C, with a maximum of 13.5 µA across –40°C to +125°C. This value is specified in Section 6.7 (Power Supply) of the SBOS836H datasheet. The dual-channel configuration means total device IQ is 20 µA (typical), enabling multi-year battery life in always-on wearable and sensor applications.
Is TLV9042IDDFR unity-gain stable?
Yes, TLV9042IDDFR is unity-gain stable and can drive up to 100 pF of capacitive load without external compensation. This is confirmed in the "Features" section and validated in Figure 6-29 and Figure 6-31 of the SBOS836H datasheet, which show stable phase margin (>65°) and minimal overshoot at G = 1 with CL = 100 pF. No isolation resistor is required for typical sensor or ADC driver applications.
What package type is used for TLV9042IDDFR?
TLV9042IDDFR uses the DDF package: an 8-pin SOT-23-THN variant with dimensions of 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm and an exposed thermal pad. As shown in Figure 5-6 and Table 5-3 of the SBOS836H datasheet, the thermal pad must be soldered to V– for optimal thermal performance. This package is distinct from SOIC (D), VSSOP (DGK), or WSON (DSG) variants of the TLV9042 family.
