Texas Instruments TLE2426 The 'Rail Splitter' Precision Virtual Ground TLE2426IP

The TLE2426IP is a precision virtual ground device from Texas Instruments, designed for use in analog systems requiring a reference voltage equal to half the supply voltage. It operates within a wide input voltage range of 4 V to 40 V and features a low supply current of 170 µA typical at 5 V. The device can source and sink up to 20 mA, providing a low-impedance output suitable for various applications, including data acquisition and analog signal termination. The TLE2426IP offers an initial output tolerance of better than 1% for 5 V or 12 V systems, with a ripple rejection exceeding 12 bits of accuracy. It is available in a compact 3-terminal TO-226AA package, making it a space-efficient solution compared to traditional resistor-capacitor configurations. Additionally, it includes an optional noise reduction pin for enhanced performance when used with an external capacitor. The operating temperature range for this part is from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for a variety of environments.
