Diodes Incorporated Announces Low Voltage, Low Current Op-Amp for Battery-Powered Applications

Plano, Texas – February 18, 2014 – Diodes Incorporated has introduced the TLV271 single channel, rail-to-rail output op-amp.  A drop-in replacement for alternative industry standard parts, the op-amp enables designers to make full use of the entire supply voltage operating range.

The device’s wide operating range of 2.7V to 16V enables the TLV271 to support an array of battery- and low-powered consumer and industrial products.  A quiescent current of only 550µA helps minimize device power consumption over a gain bandwidth of 2MHz and slew rate of only 1.4V/µs.

Diodes Incorporated’s version of the TLV271 offers an improved level of stability and phase margin, enabling capacitive loads of up to 100pF to be driven without the need of a nulling resistor.  The high input impedance and minimal bias current of this CMOS device also makes it suitable for use with a wide range of signal sensors.

To help meet a wider range of system requirements, the op-amp is provided in a choice of SOT23-5 or SO8 packaging and commercial (0 to +70ºC) and industrial (-40ºC to +125ºC) temperature ranges.  The TLV271 is priced from $0.21 USD each in 50k quantities.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
