Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TLE2426IDR used for?
The TLE2426IDR is a precision virtual ground generator (rail splitter) that divides a positive supply voltage into an accurate mid-point reference, enabling op-amps and other analog circuits to operate from a single supply as if they had a dual ±supply.
What is the supply voltage range of the TLE2426IDR?
The TLE2426IDR operates over a wide supply voltage range of 4V to 40V, making it suitable for battery-powered systems as well as higher-voltage industrial and automotive applications.
How much output current can the TLE2426IDR source and sink?
The TLE2426IDR can both source and sink up to 20mA of output current, providing a low-impedance virtual ground that maintains accuracy even under moderate load conditions.
What package does the TLE2426IDR come in?
The TLE2426IDR is available in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) surface-mount package, designated by the 'D' suffix, suitable for standard SMT assembly processes on compact PCBs.
What are common alternatives to the TLE2426IDR?
Common alternatives include the TLE2426CLP (through-hole TO-92 package version), OPA2340 configured as a rail splitter, and the LM358-based mid-supply circuits, though the TLE2426 offers superior accuracy and lower output impedance for precision applications.
