TL081 Wide Bandwidth JFET
Input Operational Amplifier
General Description
The TL081 is a low cost high speed JFET input operational
amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage
(BI-FET IITM technology). The device requires a low supply
current and yet maintains a large gain bandwidth product
and a fast slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage
JFET input devices provide very low input bias and offset
currents. The TL081 is pin compatible with the standard
LM741 and uses the same offset voltage adjustment circuit-
ry. This feature allows designers to immediately upgrade the
overall performance of existing LM741 designs.
The TL081 may be used in applications such as high speed
integrators, fast D/A converters, sample-and-hold circuits
and many other circuits requiring low input offset voltage,
low input bias current, high input impedance, high slew rate
and wide bandwidth. The devices has low noise and offset
voltage drift, but for applications where these requirements
are critical, the LF356 is recommended. If maximum supply
current is important, however, the TL081C is the better
choice.

Note 1: For operating at elevated temperature, the device must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 120§C/W junction to ambient for N package.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 3: These specifications apply for VSeg15V and 0§CsTAsa70§C. VOS,I
Band IOS are measured at VCM e0.
Note 4: The input bias currents are junction leakage currents which approximately double for every 10§C increase in the junction temperature, Tj. Due to the limited
production test time, the input bias currents measured are correlated to junction temperature. In normal operation the junction temperature rises above the ambient
temperature as a result of internal power dissipation, PD.T

VSeg5V to g15V.
Note 6: Max. Power Dissipation is defined by the package characteristics. Operating the part near the Max. Power Dissipation may cause the part to operate

Application Hints
The TL081 is an op amp with an internally trimmed input
offset voltage and JFET input devices (BI-FET II). These
JFETs have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to
source and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the
inputs. Therefore, large differential input voltages can easily
be accommodated without a large increase in input current.
The maximum differential input voltage is independent of
the supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages
should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this
will cause large currents to flow which can result in a de-
stroyed unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on both inputs
will force the amplifier output to a high state. In neither case
does a latch occur since raising the input back within the

common-mode range again puts the input stage and thus
the amplifier in a normal operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output; however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
The amplifier will operate with a common-mode input volt-
age equal to the positive supply; however, the gain band-
width and slew rate may be decreased in this condition.
When the negative common-mode voltage swings to within
3V of the negative supply, an increase in input offset voltage
may occur.
The TL081 is biased by a zener reference which allows nor-
mal circuit operation on g4V power supplies. Supply volt-
ages less than these may result in lower gain bandwidth and
slew rate.
The TL081 will drivea2kXload resistance to g10V over
the full temperature range of 0§Ctoa
70§C. If the amplifier
is forced to drive heavier load currents, however, an in-
crease in input offset voltage may occur on the negative
voltage swing and finally reach an active current limit on
both positive and negative swings.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power sup-
ply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in po-
larity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards
in a socket as an unlimited current surge through the
resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of
the internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFET
input op amps they do not require special handling.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in or-
der to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the out-
put to an input should be placed with the body close to the
input to minimize ‘‘pick-up’’ and maximize the frequency of
the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the
input to ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capaci-
tance from the input of the device (usually the inverting in-
put) to AC ground set the frequency of the pole. In many
instances the frequency of this pole is much greater than
the expected 3 dB frequency of the closed loop gain and
consequently there is negligible effect on stability margin.
However, if the feedback pole is less than approximately 6
times the expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should
be placed from the output to the input of the op amp. The
value of the added capacitor should be such that the RC
time constant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallels
is greater than or equal to the original feedback pole time
constant.
