Product details
Overview
TS461CD from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, low-noise audio signal conditioning in portable equipment. It operates from 2.7 V to 10 V (±1.35 V to ±5 V), delivers ±2.4 V output swing at ±2.5 V supply, features 4 nV/√Hz input voltage noise and 0.003 % THD at 1 kHz - enabling high-fidelity microphone pre-amplification in battery-powered sound cards and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the TS461CD datasheet, TS461CD pinout, TS461CD application, or TS461CD equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail output capability under low supply voltage, 8.5–12 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 2.8–4 V/µs slew rate, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS461CD employs a CMOS input stage with bipolar output stage to achieve rail-to-rail output swing while maintaining low input bias current (200–1000 nA) and low offset drift (5 µV/°C). Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 100 pF.
Designed for single-supply or split-supply operation, it supports common-mode input range from VDD +1.15 V to VCC −1.15 V and exhibits 60–85 dB common-mode rejection and 60–70 dB supply rejection across its operating voltage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - enables direct use with Li-ion (3.7 V), dual AA (3 V), or 5 V USB power rails without LDO regulation. |
| Output Swing | ±2.4 V at ±2.5 V supply - delivers >96 % of full rail-to-rail dynamic range for maximum SNR in audio front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 4 nV/√Hz at 100 kHz - minimizes audible hiss in microphone pre-amplifier gain stages. |
| THD+N | 0.003 % at 1 kHz, AV = −1, RL = 10 kΩ - meets CD-quality distortion requirements for line-level and mic-level amplification. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 8.5–12 MHz - supports stable 20× closed-loop gain up to 500 kHz for anti-aliasing filter buffering. |
| Slew Rate | 2.8–4 V/µs - preserves transient fidelity of speech and music signals without slew-induced distortion. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1–7 mV - limits DC error in AC-coupled audio paths; typical 5 mV allows <10 mV output offset with 100× gain. |
Pinout & Package
TS461CD is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 micropackage (ECOPACK® compliant), measuring 2.90 mm × 2.80 mm × 1.30 mm (max), with gull-wing leads and 0.95 mm pitch. Thermal resistance θj-a is 250 °C/W, requiring minimal copper pour for thermal management in handheld designs.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (−) | Differential input node; connects to feedback network in inverting configurations or sensor reference in instrumentation topologies. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (+) | Differential input node; accepts high-impedance signal sources such as electret microphone bias networks or piezo sensors. |
| 3 | Output | Rail-to-rail capable output stage; drives 2 kΩ loads directly into ADC inputs or headphone drivers with <1 % THD. |
| 4 | VDD (Negative Supply) | Connects to ground (single-supply) or negative rail (split-supply); must be decoupled with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 5 | VCC (Positive Supply) | Primary power input; supports 2.7–10 V; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling to suppress PSRR degradation above 100 kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers ±2.4 V into 2 kΩ at ±2.5 V supply - maximizes dynamic range without clipping in low-voltage audio chains. |
| Low input voltage noise | 4 nV/√Hz at 100 kHz - reduces integrated noise floor below 1 µV RMS over 20 Hz–20 kHz bandwidth. |
| Low total harmonic distortion | 0.003 % at 1 kHz - ensures transparent amplification for voice and music without coloration. |
| Wide supply voltage range | 2.7 V to 10 V - eliminates need for dedicated analog supply rails in mixed-signal portable systems. |
| Unity-gain stable | Compensated for stable operation with capacitive loads ≤100 pF - simplifies layout in compact PCBs with long traces. |
Applications
| Microphone Pre-amplifier | Sound Card Line Driver |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output buffer with rail-to-rail swing and low output impedance (<100 Ω) to drive 10 kΩ loads. Use Value: ±2.4 V swing at 2.7 V supply ensures full-scale signal delivery without headroom loss or clipping. |
| PDA Audio Front-end | CD Player Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning between MEMS microphone and stereo codec in handheld PDAs with tight board area constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-supply op-amp with VDD = GND and VCC = 3.3 V, AC-coupled input/output. Use Value: SOT23-5 footprint (2.9 × 2.8 mm) enables placement adjacent to codec ICs without routing congestion. |
Use Scenario: Post-DAC filtering and level-shifting in portable CD players operating from dual alkaline cells (3 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active low-pass filter stage (2nd-order Butterworth) with gain = 1 and cutoff = 20 kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rail-to-rail output op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2461IDBVR | Higher input bias current (1 pA typ vs. 200 nA typ), lower GBP (6.4 MHz), no specified THD value. | Optimized for precision sensor signal conditioning rather than audio; lacks verified THD performance. | Prefer TS461CD where THD < 0.01 % and rail-to-rail swing at ≤3 V are mandatory. |
| MCP6001T-I/OT | Lower supply current (100 µA vs. 2.8 mA), lower GBP (1 MHz), higher THD (0.05 %), no rail-to-rail output at <3 V. | Targeted at ultra-low-power sensor monitoring, not audio fidelity-critical paths. | Choose TS461CD when audio SNR > 95 dB and output swing >95 % of rails are required at 2.7–5 V. |
Compared with TLV2461IDBVR and MCP6001T-I/OT, TS461CD uniquely balances low-noise audio performance, rail-to-rail output at sub-3 V supplies, and verified 0.003 % THD - making it the only option among the three qualified for CD-quality microphone pre-amplification in portable devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for TS461CD?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for TS461CD is 150 °C, as specified in Table 1 of the DS1416 Rev 4 datasheet. With a SOT23-5 package thermal resistance of 250 °C/W, continuous operation at ambient temperatures above 70 °C requires careful PCB thermal design, including ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper connected to pin 4 (VDD) for heat dissipation.
Can TS461CD operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes - TS461CD supports single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 10 V. At 3.3 V, its common-mode input range is 2.45 V to 1.15 V (VDD +1.15 V to VCC −1.15 V), and output swing reaches ±1.5 V (3 Vpp) into 2 kΩ, delivering >90 % rail utilization for 2 Vpp line-level signals.
Is TS461CD pin-compatible with other TS46x variants?
No - TS461CD (SOT23-5) has a different pin count and layout than TS462CDT (SO-8, dual) or TS464CDT (SO-14, quad). The SOT23-5 pinout is unique to the single-channel TS461 series; no mechanical or electrical pin compatibility exists across the TS46x family due to differing channel counts and packages.
Does TS461CD require external compensation components?
No - TS461CD is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and does not require external compensation. It remains stable driving capacitive loads up to 100 pF, as verified in the DS1416 Rev 4 datasheet (Section 2, Electrical Characteristics, f = 100 kHz test condition).
