Dual JFET op-amp in a hermetic CDIP — built for the wide-temperature board
It delivers a 10 MHz gain-bandwidth product and a 45 V/µs slew rate, drawing 3.1 mA per channel from a supply spanning 4.5 V to 38 V. The JFET input stage keeps input bias current at 20 pA, and the output can source or sink 48 mA per channel. This is the part you specify when the board lives in an avionics bay, a satellite payload, or a downhole tool — environments where plastic packages and commercial temperature grades don't survive the qualification review.
The 45 V/µs slew rate means this op-amp can swing 10 V peak-to-peak at roughly 700 kHz without slewing into distortion — useful for conditioning fast sensor signals, driving ADC inputs, or active filtering in the audio band and above. The 10 MHz gain-bandwidth product gives you a closed-loop bandwidth of 1 MHz at a gain of 10, which covers most precision signal-chain needs. Paired with the 20 pA input bias current, the TLE2072AMJGB handles high-impedance sources like piezoelectric sensors or photodiode preamps without loading the signal. The 700 µV input offset voltage is typical for a JFET design at this speed — if you need lower offset, you'd step to a chopper-stabilized amplifier, but you'd give up the bandwidth and the wide supply range.
The 4.5 V minimum supply lets this op-amp run from a single 5 V rail alongside digital logic, while the 38 V maximum covers ±15 V split supplies or unregulated 24 V industrial buses. That range simplifies inventory — one qualified part number serves multiple board designs with different supply voltages. The 3.1 mA per channel quiescent current is moderate; on a dual-supply ±15 V rail, the total dissipation sits around 186 mW, well within the CDIP package's capability at 125°C ambient when you account for derating.
8-pin CDIP — the package that passes the high-rel review
The 8-CDIP (0.300", 7.62 mm) is a hermetic ceramic dual-in-line package with through-hole leads. This is the package you need when the specification calls for MIL-STD-883 or JAN screening, or when the board must withstand humidity, thermal cycling, and outgassing requirements that rule out plastic. The through-hole mounting is compatible with standard 0.100" pitch prototyping boards and socketed burn-in, but it does mean a larger footprint than a surface-mount SOIC — factor that into board area if you are retrofitting an existing design.
For a high-reliability program with a five- to ten-year production run, this removes the single-source obsolescence risk that often haunts ceramic-package parts.
