TL081 General Purpose Op-Amp

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.

Where to use the TL081 Op-Amp

The TL081 JFET-input operational amplifier is designed to offer a wider selection than any previously developed operational amplifier. TL081 is a single package Op-Amp that has been widely used for quite a long time now. This Op-Amp can be used for many general purpose applications like Voltage follower, Buffers, Comparators, Amplifiers, Adders and much more. So if you looking for a plain old Op-Amp just for some basic circuit design then this IC might be the right choice for you.

 

How to use TL081 Op-Amp

An Inverting Amplifier Application circuit from the TL081 datasheet is given below. you only need two resistors to use TL081 as an inverting amplifier.

TL081 Application Circuit

An inverting amplifier takes a positive/negative voltage on the inverting input pin and makes it a negative/positive voltage of the same magnitude. Output at the VOUT pin is feedback to input through the feedback resistor (Rf).

The input and output voltages can be calculated as,

Vin = I.R1​
Vout = -I.Rf

 

Applications of TL081 IC

  • Sample and Hold Amplifiers
  • Peak Detectors
  • Active Filters
  • Comparators
  • Interface in 5V TTL Systems and Other Low Supply Voltage Systems
  • All Standard Operational Amplifier Applications
  • Function Generators
