TLC2201CD – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments TLC2201CD is a dual operational amplifier (op-amp) packaged in a compact 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit). It’s specifically designed for low-power applications requiring rail-to-rail input and output swing. Operating from a single supply voltage ranging from 2V to 6V, or a dual supply from ±1V to ±3V, the TLC2201CD offers exceptional performance in battery-powered systems. Each op-amp boasts a typical input bias current of only 25nA, contributing to its low power consumption. The device features a high input impedance, typically 10¹²Ω, making it suitable for applications with high-impedance signal sources. Its unity-gain bandwidth is approximately 1MHz, sufficient for many audio and instrumentation applications. Common use cases include instrumentation amplifiers, precision voltage comparators, and low-power signal conditioning circuits where minimal power draw and wide input voltage range are crucial. The TLC2201CD’s advantages lie in its low-power operation, rail-to-rail capability minimizing signal distortion, and its tolerance for low supply voltages, making it ideal for portable and embedded systems demanding high precision with minimal energy consumption. The inherently low noise characteristics further enhance its suitability for sensitive signal processing.
