Texas Instruments · Operational Amplifier · SOIC-8
The TL081 is a single JFET-input operational amplifier. Its JFET inputs give high input impedance and low bias current, and its 13 V/us slew rate and 3 MHz bandwidth suit active filters, integrators, sample-and-hold, and general single-op-amp signal conditioning. It is the single member of the TL08x family alongside the dual TL082 and quad TL084.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OFFSET N1 | input | Input offset-voltage adjustment. Connect the ends of an external trim potentiometer (typ. 10 kΩ) between OFFSET N1 (pin 1) and OFFSET N2 (pin 5), with the wiper tied to VCC-. Leave open if offset trim is not required. |
| 2 | IN- | input | Inverting input of the op-amp. JFET-gate input; ultra-low input bias current. Common-mode input range extends to VCC+ (per datasheet features). |
| 3 | IN+ | input | Non-inverting input of the op-amp. JFET-gate input; ultra-low input bias current. Common-mode input range extends to VCC+. |
| 4 | VCC- | power_in | Negative supply rail. For split-supply operation, tie to the negative rail; for single-supply operation, tie to GND. Total supply (VCC+) − (VCC-) must be between 4.5 V and 40 V (10 V to 30 V for NS/PS packages and TL08xM). |
| 5 | OFFSET N2 | input | Input offset-voltage adjustment. Second end of the external offset-null potentiometer (see OFFSET N1). Leave open if offset trim is not required. |
| 6 | OUT | output | Op-amp output. Short-circuit protected to ground (continuous, one amplifier per package). Drives loads referenced between VCC- and VCC+. |
| 7 | VCC+ | power_in | Positive supply rail. Recommended supply (VCC+) − (VCC-) is 4.5 V to 40 V (10 V to 30 V for NS/PS packages and TL08xM). Bypass with a local ceramic capacitor to VCC- (or GND for single-supply). |
| 8 | NC | unconnected | Do not connect. No internal bond wire. Leave floating on the PCB. |
