The first members of TI’s new BiMOS general-purpose operational amplifier family are the TLC08x. The BiMOS family concept is simple—provide an upgrade path for BiFET users who are moving away from dual-supply to single-supply systems and demand higher ac and dc performance. With performance rated from 4.5 V to 16 V across an automotive temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), BiMOS suits a wide range of audio, automotive, industrial, and instrumentation applications. Familiar features, such as offset nulling pins, and new features, such as MSOP PowerPAD™ packages and shutdown modes, enable higher levels of performance in a variety of applications.

Developed in TI’s patented LBC3 BiCMOS process, the new BiMOS amplifiers combine a very high input impedance, low-noise CMOS front end with a high-drive bipolar output stage, thus providing the optimum performance features of both.
