Introduction
The TL072 Operational Amplifier IC is a dual package, low-noise, high-performance JFET-input op-amp widely used in audio processing, instrumentation, and active filter applications. As a member of the popular TL07x series, the TL072 offers the same low input bias current, low offset voltage, and high input impedance as the TL071, but in a dual op-amp configuration. This makes it a cost-effective and space-saving solution for circuits that require two precision amplifiers in a single IC package.

A key feature of the TL072 op-amp IC is its low noise density of 18 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz and low total harmonic distortion (THD), ensuring clean and accurate signal amplification in high-fidelity audio systems. With a high slew rate of 13 V/µs and a gain-bandwidth product of 3 MHz, the TL072 delivers fast and reliable performance in both AC and DC coupled applications. Its wide supply voltage range of ±3V to ±18V (or single supply 6V to 36V) allows it to be used in a variety of analog and mixed-signal designs.

The TL072 dual operational amplifier is internally frequency compensated and includes output short-circuit protection, which makes it robust and easy to integrate into electronic circuits. Its JFET-input stage provides very high input impedance with low bias and offset currents, minimizing signal loading effects. As a result, it is highly suitable for active filters, precision integrators, sensor amplifiers, and preamplifiers where signal integrity is critical.
