The TLE2141-Q1 is stable with capacitive loads up to 10nF, although the 6MHz bandwidth decreases to 1.8MHz at this high loading level. As such, this device is useful for low-droop sample-and-holds and direct buffering of long cables, including 4mA to 20mA current loops.

The special design also exhibits an improved insensitivity to inherent integrated circuit component mismatches as is evidenced by a 500μV maximum offset voltage and 1.7μV/°C typical drift. Minimum common-mode rejection ratio and supply-voltage rejection ratio are 85dB and 90dB, respectively.

Device performance is relatively independent of supply voltage over the ±2V to ±22V range. Inputs can operate between V_CC– – 0.3V to V_CC+ – 1.8V without inducing phase reversal, although excessive input current can flow out of each input exceeding the lower common-mode input range. The all-npn output stage provides a nearly rail-to-rail output swing of V_CC– – 0.1V to V_CC+ – 1V under light current-loading conditions. The device can sustain shorts to either supply since output current is internally limited, but care must be taken to make sure that maximum package power dissipation is not exceeded.

The TLE2141-Q1 can also be used as a comparator. Differential inputs of V_CC± can be maintained without damage to the device. Open-loop propagation delay with TTL supply levels is typically 200ns. This gives a good indication as to output stage saturation recovery when the device is driven beyond the limits of recommended output swing.

The TLE2141-Q1 is available in an industry-standard 8-pin package. The device is characterized for operation from –40°C to 125°C.
