The TLV340x has a minimum operating supply voltage of 2.7 V over the extended automotive temperature range (TA = -40C to 125C), while having an input common-mode range of -0.1 to VCC + 5 V. The low supply current makes it an ideal choice for battery-powered portable applications, where quiescent current is the primary concern. Reverse battery protection guards the amplifier from an overcurrent condition due to improper battery installation. For harsh environments, the inputs can be taken 5 V above the positive supply rail without damage to the device.
