Product details
Overview
TS4995 from STMicroelectronics is a fully differential 1.2 W audio power amplifier IC with 6 dB fixed gain, rail-to-rail output capability at 5 V supply into 8 Ω, ultra-low 10 nA standby current, and selectable active-high/active-low standby control. It delivers high-fidelity audio in space-constrained mobile handsets and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the TS4995 datasheet, TS4995 pinout, TS4995 application, or TS4995 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application constraints (e.g., differential input noise immunity, thermal shutdown behavior), and confirmed alternative options for audio subsystem design.
Technical Context
The TS4995 implements a monolithic full-differential input/output architecture with integrated common-mode feedback that actively biases both outputs at VCC/2 regardless of input common-mode voltage-enabling robust operation with single-ended or differential sources. Its fixed +6 dB gain eliminates external gain-setting resistors.
It features dual standby control logic: STDBY pin accepts either active-low or active-high assertion via the dedicated STDBY MODE pin, and transitions to full operation in 10 ms (typ.) at 3.3 V. Thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C, protecting against sustained short-circuit loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 1.2 W RMS @ 5 V, 8 Ω, THD+N = 1%, 1 kHz - sufficient for loudspeaker drive in compact handhelds without heatsink |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports Li-ion battery discharge profile (3.0–4.2 V) and USB-powered 5 V systems |
| Standby Current | 10 nA (typ.) - enables multi-week battery standby in always-on audio alert circuits |
| PSRR | 90 dB @ 217 Hz with grounded inputs - rejects GSM burst noise and switching regulator ripple |
| THD+N | 0.5% @ 850 mW, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 8 Ω - meets fidelity requirements for voice and mid-tier music playback |
| SNR | 100 dB (A-weighted) - ensures clean audio path with >60 dB dynamic range margin over typical codec DAC output |
| Gain | Fixed 6 dB - reduces BOM count by eliminating external gain resistors and associated layout sensitivity |
Pinout & Package
TS4995 uses a 9-bump flip-chip package (300 µm bump diameter) with bottom-side interconnects; no leads or exposed pads. Mounting requires controlled reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN+ | Differential input non-inverting terminal | Accepts balanced or single-ended signal; common-mode range extends to 0–4.5 V at 5 V supply |
| VIN− | Differential input inverting terminal | Completes differential pair; CMRR ≥ 60 dB ensures rejection of shared noise on both inputs |
| VCC | Positive supply rail | Supplies amplifier core and output stage; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| VO+ | Positive differential output | Rail-to-rail swing; biased at VCC/2 by internal common-mode feedback loop |
| VO− | Negative differential output | Complementary to VO+; enables true differential speaker drive with 2× voltage swing vs. single-ended |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return for bias currents and output load; must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce |
| BYPASS | Half-supply bias capacitor connection | Connects to 1 µF capacitor to stabilize internal VCC/2 reference; critical for pop/click suppression |
| STDBY | Standby mode enable input | Active-low or active-high per STDBY MODE pin setting; drives <10 nA quiescent current when asserted |
| STDBY MODE | Standby polarity configuration | Hardwired to VCC (active-high) or GND (active-low); sets STDBY pin logic polarity permanently |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential input architecture | 90 dB PSRR and 60 dB CMRR suppress EMI and ground noise in noisy RF environments like cellular handsets |
| Ultra-low standby consumption | 10 nA max current allows integration into always-listening voice-trigger paths without compromising battery life |
| Configurable standby polarity | Single external tie-off of STDBY MODE pin selects active-high or active-low control-no firmware or logic gate needed |
| Integrated VCC/2 common-mode feedback | Maintains precise output DC bias across temperature and supply variation, eliminating coupling capacitors in speaker path |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Auto-recovery shutdown at 150 °C prevents latch-up during accidental short-circuit or PCB overheating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9718ETA+ | 2.5 W output @ 5 V, 8 Ω; 1.5 µV/√Hz input noise; requires external gain resistors | Higher output power suits larger speakers; higher noise floor limits SNR-critical applications | Select when >1.2 W output or adjustable gain is required; verify thermal derating with PCB copper area |
| TAS5706PAG | Class-D, 3 W × 2 channels; I²S input; integrated digital volume control; 12-bit DAC | Digital-input architecture eliminates analog routing; requires clock tree and firmware integration | Select for multi-channel, battery-efficient designs where digital audio interface and lower thermal dissipation are priorities |
Compared with MAX9718ETA+ and TAS5706PAG, TS4995 offers lowest component count for analog-input, single-channel, ultra-low-standby applications-ideal where PCB area, analog simplicity, and sub-100 nA quiescent current are decisive.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended bypass capacitor value on the VCC pin?
A 1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of the VCC pin and GND is mandatory per the datasheet to ensure stable operation and prevent oscillation. This capacitor must be rated for ≥6.3 V and located adjacent to the flip-chip bump array to minimize inductance.
Can TS4995 drive a 4 Ω speaker load?
Yes-TS4995 delivers up to 1.6 W @ 5 V into 4 Ω (1% THD+N, 1 kHz), but power dissipation increases significantly. At 5 V/4 Ω, thermal derating requires ambient temperature ≤ 60 °C with no heatsink, or ≤ 75 °C with 100 mm² copper pour per the published derating curve.
How does the STDBY MODE pin affect startup timing?
STDBY MODE pin configures the logic polarity of the STDBY input but does not alter wake-up time. Startup remains 10 ms (typ.) at 3.3 V regardless of polarity; the internal bias circuitry activates identically once STDBY transitions from inactive to active state.
Is external input coupling capacitor required?
No-differential inputs accept DC-coupled signals across 0–4.5 V common-mode range at 5 V supply. However, if the source lacks DC offset control, a 330 nF AC-coupling capacitor (as shown in Figure 1) is recommended to prevent output saturation from input DC mismatch.
