TLV2460QPW Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLV2460QPW is a general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package. This device features rail-to-rail output capability and is designed for low-power applications requiring single-circuit amplification. The TLV2460QPW is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active substitute components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain functional equivalence across critical electrical parameters including supply voltage range, output current capability, and operating temperature specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLV2460QPW is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Requirements:

• Amplifier Type: General Purpose
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Output Type: Rail-to-Rail
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage Supply Span: Minimum 2.7 V, Maximum 6 V (substitute must support this range)
• Current - Output / Channel: Minimum 80 mA (substitute must meet or exceed)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C (substitute must cover this range or be acceptable for the intended application)

Compliance & Environmental:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts identified below satisfy these core requirements while maintaining functional compatibility in applications previously served by the TLV2460QPW.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status):

The MAX4166EUA+ and MAX4166EUA+T are the recommended substitutes for the obsolete TLV2460QPW. Both variants are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated and maintain active product status. These devices satisfy all core functional requirements: single-circuit general-purpose amplification with rail-to-rail output in surface-mount 8-TSSOP packaging. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

The MAX4166EUA+ is supplied in tube packaging, while MAX4166EUA+T is supplied in tape and reel format. Selection between these variants depends on procurement and assembly requirements. The tape and reel variant (MAX4166EUA+T) offers higher inventory availability (7,339 pieces) compared to the tube variant (5,100 pieces).

Secondary Substitute (Discontinued Status):

The TLV2460QPWG4 is a Texas Instruments variant with identical electrical specifications to the TLV2460QPW, including the same operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) and slew rate (1.6 V/µs). However, this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new designs. It may be considered only for legacy system maintenance where inventory is available (677 pieces).

Compatibility Notes:

The MAX4166EUA+ and MAX4166EUA+T exhibit higher output current capability (125 mA versus 80 mA) and lower input offset voltage (350 µV versus 500 µV), providing performance enhancement over the original TLV2460QPW. The maximum supply voltage is extended to 6.5 V. However, the operating temperature range is reduced to -40°C to 85°C, which may require evaluation for applications requiring the full -40°C to 125°C range of the original device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX4166EUA+ directly replace the TLV2460QPW in existing designs?

A: The MAX4166EUA+ is functionally compatible as a substitute. Both devices are single-circuit, general-purpose, rail-to-rail operational amplifiers in 8-TSSOP surface-mount packages. Electrical parameters are compatible across the specified supply voltage range (2.7 V to 6 V). The primary consideration is the reduced operating temperature range of the MAX4166EUA+ (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 125°C for the TLV2460QPW). Applications requiring operation above 85°C must be evaluated separately.

Q: What is the difference between MAX4166EUA+ and MAX4166EUA+T?

A: Both parts are electrically identical. The difference is packaging format: MAX4166EUA+ is supplied in tube packaging, while MAX4166EUA+T is supplied in tape and reel format. Selection depends on assembly line requirements and procurement preferences. The tape and reel variant typically offers higher volume availability.

Q: Are there package compatibility issues when substituting with MAX4166EUA+?

A: The MAX4166EUA+ is available in both 8-TSSOP and 8-MSOP packages. The 8-TSSOP variant (0.173", 4.40mm width) is pin-compatible with the original TLV2460QPW. The 8-MSOP variant (0.118", 3.00mm width) has different physical dimensions and requires PCB layout modification. Verify the specific package variant when ordering.

Q: Why is the TLV2460QPWG4 not recommended as a primary substitute?

A: The TLV2460QPWG4 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and does not offer advantages over the MAX4166EUA+ variants. While it maintains identical electrical specifications to the original TLV2460QPW, its discontinued status limits long-term availability and supply chain reliability. The MAX4166EUA+ variants provide superior performance characteristics and active product status.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to substitute parts?

A: All identified substitute parts (MAX4166EUA+, MAX4166EUA+T, and TLV2460QPWG4) are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8542.33.0001. These certifications match the original TLV2460QPW specifications.

Q: How do the electrical performance characteristics compare?

A: The MAX4166EUA+ and MAX4166EUA+T provide improved performance in specific parameters: output current is increased from 80 mA to 125 mA, and input offset voltage is reduced from 500 µV to 350 µV. Slew rate and gain bandwidth product are slightly lower (2 V/µs and 5 MHz respectively, versus 1.6 V/µs and 6.4 MHz for the original). Supply current is higher at 1.3 mA versus 550 µA. These differences must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: Can the TLV2460QPWG4 be used for new production designs?

A: No. The TLV2460QPWG4 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new designs. Use MAX4166EUA+ or MAX4166EUA+T for new production. The TLV2460QPWG4 may only be considered for legacy system maintenance where existing inventory is available and supply chain continuity is not a concern.
