TLC072AIP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLC072AIP is a general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments, configured as a dual-channel (2 circuit) device in an 8-pin DIP package. This component is classified as a Last Time Buy product, indicating discontinued production with limited remaining inventory. The TLC072AIP is designed for applications requiring low-power, general-purpose amplification with specified electrical performance across industrial and commercial temperature ranges.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary due to the Last Time Buy status of the TLC072AIP. Alternative configurations of the same base product (TLC072) remain available in active production status with identical electrical performance but different packaging and mounting technologies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLC072AIP is determined by electrical parameter equivalence and compliance certification matching. The TLC072 base product family maintains identical electrical specifications across all package variants. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Amplifier Type: General Purpose
• Number of Circuits: 2
• Slew Rate: 19 V/µs
• Gain Bandwidth Product: 10 MHz
• Current - Input Bias: 1.5 pA
• Voltage - Input Offset: 390 µV
• Current - Supply: 2.1 mA (x2 Channels)
• Current - Output / Channel: 57 mA
• Voltage - Supply Span: 4.5 V to 16 V
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99

The primary distinction between the TLC072AIP and its substitute is the mounting technology and packaging format. The TLC072AIP uses through-hole mounting in an 8-DIP package, while the TLC072AIDR uses surface-mount technology in an 8-SOIC package. Both variants are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical electrical performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TLC072AIDR is a direct electrical equivalent to the TLC072AIP with identical performance specifications across all measured parameters. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility in equivalent applications.

The primary consideration for component selection is mounting technology. The TLC072AIP requires through-hole PCB assembly, while the TLC072AIDR requires surface-mount assembly. PCB design and assembly process capabilities determine which variant is appropriate for a given application.

The TLC072AIP carries Last Time Buy status, indicating limited inventory availability. The TLC072AIDR maintains Active product status with higher inventory levels (4525 pieces versus 1389 pieces), providing greater availability for new designs and production continuity.

Selection between these variants should be based on:

1. PCB Assembly Process: Through-hole assembly capability (TLC072AIP) versus surface-mount assembly capability (TLC072AIDR)
2. Production Continuity: Active product status (TLC072AIDR) versus Last Time Buy status (TLC072AIP)
3. Inventory Requirements: Current stock levels and long-term supply planning

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the TLC072AIP and TLC072AIDR electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications including slew rate (19 V/µs), gain bandwidth product (10 MHz), input bias current (1.5 pA), input offset voltage (390 µV), supply current (2.1 mA per channel), output current (57 mA per channel), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). They are manufactured by Texas Instruments under the same base product number (TLC072).

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and mounting technology. The TLC072AIP uses through-hole mounting in an 8-DIP package (0.300" width, 7.62mm). The TLC072AIDR uses surface-mount technology in an 8-SOIC package (0.154" width, 3.90mm). Additionally, the TLC072AIP is Last Time Buy status while the TLC072AIDR is Active production status.

Q: Can I use the TLC072AIDR as a direct replacement for the TLC072AIP?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, PCB design and assembly process compatibility must be confirmed. Through-hole and surface-mount components require different PCB layouts and assembly equipment. Verify that your PCB design supports surface-mount assembly before selecting the TLC072AIDR.

Q: Why is the TLC072AIP marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that Texas Instruments has discontinued production of this specific package variant. The TLC072 base product remains in production in alternative package formats, including the TLC072AIDR in 8-SOIC surface-mount configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TLC072AIP and TLC072AIDR are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: For new designs, the TLC072AIDR is recommended due to Active product status and higher inventory availability. Surface-mount technology is standard in modern PCB assembly. The TLC072AIP should be reserved for applications requiring through-hole mounting or existing designs already using this package format.

Q: What is the pin configuration compatibility between these parts?

A: Both components are 8-pin devices with identical pin assignments for the TLC072 base product. Pin-to-pin electrical compatibility is maintained. Physical package dimensions differ due to different mounting technologies.
