TL064CN TL064 Quad Low-Power JFET-Input Operational Amplifier Op Amp Breadboard-Friendly IC DIP-14 (Pack of 5)

Description

Product Overview

The TL064CN operational amplifier, manufactured by Juried Engineering, is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern low‑power electronic designs. Featuring a JFET‑input stage, this quad amplifier delivers exceptionally high input impedance, which minimizes loading effects on source circuits and preserves signal integrity across a broad range of applications. Its typical supply current of only 200 µA per amplifier translates into remarkable energy efficiency, allowing designers to extend battery life in portable devices and reduce overall power consumption in stationary equipment.

Built in a standard DIP‑14 package, the TL064CN is inherently breadboard‑friendly, enabling rapid prototyping and easy integration into development boards without the need for specialized surface‑mount techniques. The device operates from a single supply voltage, and its common‑mode input voltage range comfortably includes the positive supply rail, simplifying power‑management strategies and reducing the component count in many circuit topologies. Additionally, the internal frequency compensation ensures stable operation over a wide bandwidth, making the TL064CN suitable for both low‑frequency precision tasks and higher‑speed signal processing.

One of the standout specifications of the TL064CN is its high slew rate of 3.5 V/µs, which provides fast transient response and reduces distortion in audio and communication circuits. The amplifier also incorporates robust short‑circuit protection on its outputs, safeguarding downstream components and enhancing overall system reliability. With a typical gain‑bandwidth product that supports a wide range of gain settings, the TL064CN can be employed in differential, inverting, non‑inverting, and integrator configurations, offering designers flexibility in shaping the desired signal behavior.

Beyond its electrical performance, the TL064CN benefits from a manufacturing process that emphasizes latch‑up‑free operation, ensuring consistent behavior even under harsh temperature variations and high‑current transients. The device’s low input bias and offset currents further contribute to precision performance, especially in applications such as sensor interfacing, instrumentation amplifiers, and low‑level signal conditioning where accuracy is paramount. The combination of these features makes the TL064CN a versatile component for a diverse set of industries, including automotive electronics, medical instrumentation, industrial control, and consumer audio equipment.

Usage

Design engineers frequently select the TL064CN for projects that demand a balance between low power consumption and high performance. In battery‑powered sensor nodes, the amplifier’s 200 µA per channel current draw enables long‑term operation while still delivering the speed required for real‑time data acquisition. Its JFET input stage is particularly well‑suited for interfacing with high‑impedance sources such as piezoelectric sensors, photodiodes, and strain gauges, where preserving the original signal amplitude is critical.

In audio equipment, the TL064CN’s low noise floor and fast slew rate contribute to clean sound reproduction, making it an excellent choice for pre‑amplifier stages, tone control circuits, and active crossover networks. The DIP‑14 form factor allows hobbyists and professional audio designers alike to prototype and test circuit ideas quickly on standard breadboards, reducing development time and cost. Moreover, the built‑in short‑circuit protection ensures that accidental overloads during testing do not damage the amplifier or connected speakers.

Industrial control systems often require reliable signal conditioning under varying environmental conditions. The TL064CN’s wide common‑mode range, combined with its latch‑up‑free design, provides stable operation in noisy factory settings where voltage spikes and temperature fluctuations are common. Its ability to operate from a single supply simplifies power distribution in compact control panels, while the quad configuration reduces board space by consolidating multiple amplification functions into a single IC.
