TLV3401CDBV – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The TLV3401CDBV is a single, low-power, precision rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier from Texas Instruments, packaged in a space-saving 8-pin SOIC (small outline integrated circuit) package. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V, exhibiting a low input bias current of typically 10nA, crucial for high-impedance applications. Its rail-to-rail capabilities ensure full utilization of the supply voltage range, maximizing output swing. The device boasts a typical input offset voltage of only 15µV and a gain-bandwidth product of 1MHz, making it suitable for precision amplification and signal conditioning tasks where low noise and high accuracy are paramount. Common applications include instrumentation amplifiers, sensor interfacing (especially with low-power sensors), and precision analog signal processing in battery-powered devices. The TLV3401CDBV’s advantages lie in its exceptionally low power consumption (typically 130µA at 5V), its high precision characteristics, and its compact footprint, making it ideal for portable and space-constrained designs where minimal power dissipation is critical without sacrificing performance. The device’s low input bias current also minimizes errors in high-impedance signal paths.
