JFET op-amp for signal conditioning — what the specs mean
The 1.4 mA supply current per channel keeps the thermal budget modest in multi-channel designs.
Automotive grade — unusual for a JFET op-amp
This part carries an Automotive grade classification and is AEC-Q100 qualified, which is atypical for a general-purpose JFET op-amp.
Package and supply — through-hole fit
Housed in an 8-DIP (0.300-inch, 7.62 mm) through-hole package, the TL072BCN is a natural fit for prototyping boards, legacy product repairs, or low-volume builds where hand-soldering is preferred. The supply range spans 6 V to 36 V, giving flexibility for single- or split-rail designs (±3 V to ±18 V). Output can source or sink up to 40 mA per channel.
Lifecycle status — obsolete, plan for a replacement
The TL072BCN is listed as obsolete. The through-hole DIP package limits drop-in replacement options; most modern equivalents are surface-mount.
