TL081CP JFET-Input Operational Amplifier, DIP-8, 4MHz

The TL081CP from Texas Instruments is a high-performance JFET-input operational amplifier in a convenient 8-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package). This device integrates high-voltage JFET and bipolar transistors in a monolithic integrated circuit, designed to deliver precision and speed in demanding analogue applications. Its hallmark feature is the high slew rate of 13V/µs, enabling it to handle fast-changing signals without distortion, making it ideal for audio, signal processing, and test equipment.

A key advantage is its low power consumption of just 1.4mA per channel, combined with a wide supply voltage range from 7V to 36V, offering excellent flexibility for both single and dual supply designs. The high-input-impedance JFET input stage ensures minimal loading of the signal source, while the exceptionally low input bias current (30pA) and offset current (5pA) contribute to superior accuracy and stability.

Key Features & Benefits
