TL081 Op-Amp Datasheet, Pinout, Feature & Applications

Hi Guys! Hope you’re well today. I welcome you on board. Happy to see you around. In this post today, I’ll detail the Introduction to TL081.

TL081 is a high-speed general-purpose JFET input single operational amplifier that comes with high noise immunity and better offset characteristics. It carries high input impedance and low offset current. The offset voltage of this device makes it an ideal match for amplifier applications. It incorporates well-matched bipolar transistors and high-voltage JFET in a compact IC.

Read this post till the end as I’ll detail the complete Introduction to TL081 covering datasheet, pinout, features, and applications. Let’s jump right in.

Introduction to TL081

• TL081 is a high-speed JFET input single operational amplifier that comes with high slew rates, and low offset and input bias currents.

• It features a low offset voltage temperature coefficient with a supply voltage of around +-18V and an input voltage of around +-15V.

• Plus, it incorporates internally trimmed offset voltage and needs low supply current
• It has the ability to maintain a fast slew rate and a large gain bandwidth.

TL081 Absolute Maximum Ratings

The following table shows the absolute maximum ratings of TL081.

Absolute Maximum Ratings TL081
No.	Rating	Symbol	Value	Unit
1	Supply Voltage	Vcc	+-18	V
2	Input Voltage	Vin	+-15	V
3	Differential Input Voltage	Vid	+-30	V
4	Power Dissipation	Ptot	680	mW
5	Output short-circuit duration		Infinite
6	Available Package		PDIP, SOIC Packages

• The values of all voltages, excluding differential voltage, are measured with respect to the ground of the supply voltages where the midpoint between VCC+ and VCC- is a zero reference level.
• It is important to note that the input voltage magnitude should never cross the supply voltage magnitude. The supply voltage here, in this case, is +-18V while the magnitude of the input voltage is +-15V.
• Power dissipation is 680mW and the storage temperature range is -65 to 150C.
• Differential voltages are considered as the non-inverting input terminal with respect to the inverting input terminal.
• Moreover, the output is shorted to ground or to either supply. Temperature and/or supply voltages must be in control so the dissipation rating is not exceeded.
• Short-circuits can cause destructive dissipation and excessive heating.

TL081 Applications

• Incorporated in audio pre-amplification.
• Used in amplifier circuits.
• Used in circuit requiring high input impedance.
• Sample and Hold Amplifiers
• Peak Detectors
• Active Filters
• Comparators
• Function Generators
