The TLC220x, TLC220xA, TLC220xB, and TLC220xY are precision, low-noise operational amplifiers using Texas Instruments Advanced LinCMOS™ process. These devices combine the noise performance of the lowest-noise JFET amplifiers with the dc precision available previously only in bipolar amplifiers. The Advanced LinCMOS™ process uses silicon-gate technology to obtain input offset voltage stability with temperature and time that far exceeds that obtainable using metal-gate technology. In addition, this technology makes possible input impedance levels that meet or exceed levels offered by top-gate JFET and expensive dielectric-isolated devices.

The combination of excellent DC and noise performance with a common-mode input voltage range that includes the negative rail makes these devices an ideal choice for high-impedance, low-level signal-conditioning applications in either single-supply or split-supply configurations.

The device inputs and outputs are designed to withstand –100-mA surge currents without sustaining latch-up. In addition, internal ESD-protection circuits prevent functional failures at voltages up to 2000 V as tested under MIL-PRF-38535, Method 3015.2; however, care should be exercised in handling these devices as exposure to ESD may result in degradation of the parametric performance.Read more
