What the TLC271CP is and where it fits
The Texas Instruments TLC271CP is a single-channel, general-purpose CMOS operational amplifier in the LinCMOS™ series. It delivers a 2.2 MHz gain-bandwidth product and a 5.3 V/µs slew rate, with a picoamp-level input bias current of 0.7 pA. Housed in an 8-pin DIP (0.300" width, 7.62 mm pitch) for through-hole mounting, it operates from a 3 V to 16 V supply span over the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range. Typical applications include sensor signal conditioning, audio pre-amplification, active filters, and general-purpose analog processing in benchtop instruments, industrial controls, and consumer electronics where low input current and moderate speed are required.
Key ratings and what they mean for the BOM
The 2.2 MHz gain-bandwidth product sets the usable closed-loop bandwidth. The 5.3 V/µs slew rate supports output swings without significant distortion at these frequencies.
Package and mounting — through-hole matters
The TLC271CP comes in an 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62 mm) through-hole package. This is a breadboard-friendly, hand-solderable form factor still widely used in prototyping, education, and legacy-equipment repair. The 8-PDIP supplier package designation confirms the same footprint. If your BOM calls for surface-mount, note this part is through-hole only — check the TLV9351IDCKR or TLV9362IDDFR for an SMT alternative, but verify pinout and supply range compatibility.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The TLC271CP is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notification or last-time-buy window is indicated. The part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ.
