Product details
Overview
TS461CDT from STMicroelectronics is a rail-to-rail output operational amplifier in SO-8 package, designed for low-voltage audio signal conditioning with ±2.4 V output swing at ±2.5 V supply, 4 nV/√Hz input noise, and 0.003 % THD at 1 kHz - deployed in microphone pre-amplifiers and portable multimedia equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TS461CDT datasheet, TS461CDT pinout, TS461CDT application, or TS461CDT equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output drive capability under 2.7–10 V single-supply operation, low-noise performance in battery-powered audio front-ends, and SO-8 thermal resistance (125 °C/W) for sustained linearity in compact enclosures.
Technical Context
The TS461CDT operates as a single-channel, voltage-feedback op-amp with rail-to-rail output stage enabling full dynamic range utilization near supply rails. Its input common-mode range extends from VDD +1.15 V to VCC −1.15 V, supporting biasing flexibility in AC-coupled audio paths.
It delivers 12 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 4 V/µs slew rate under unity-gain configuration, ensuring faithful reproduction of wideband audio signals up to ~100 kHz without phase distortion or clipping-induced intermodulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 10 V - supports single-supply portable systems including USB-powered audio interfaces and battery-operated PDAs. |
| Output Swing | ±2.4 V at ±2.5 V supply - enables >96 % rail utilization for maximum SNR in low-voltage audio chains. |
| Input Noise | 4 nV/√Hz at 100 kHz - preserves signal integrity in microphone pre-amplifier stages where source impedance is ≤10 kΩ. |
| THD+N | 0.003 % at 1 kHz, AV = −1, RL = 10 kΩ - meets CD-quality audio distortion requirements per IEC 60268-3. |
| Gain Bandwidth | 12 MHz typ. - allows stable unity-gain buffer configurations with ≥60° phase margin into 100 pF capacitive loads. |
| Slew Rate | 4 V/µs typ. - prevents slew-induced distortion on 1 Vpp, 100 kHz sine waves in line-driver applications. |
| Input Offset Drift | 5 µV/°C - ensures <100 µV total offset shift across −20 °C to +70 °C industrial temperature range. |
Pinout & Package
TS461CDT is housed in an SO-8 (Small Outline-8) plastic package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm body, and 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - suitable for reflow-soldered PCB layouts with moderate power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input | Differential node for feedback network connection; referenced to non-inverting input for closed-loop gain setting. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input | High-impedance input node accepting AC-coupled sensor or line-level signals with CMVR up to VCC −1.15 V. |
| 3 | Output | Rail-to-rail output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ≥20 mA into resistive loads while maintaining linearity. |
| 4 | VDD (Negative Supply) | Ground or negative rail connection in single-supply mode; must be decoupled with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 5 | VCC (Positive Supply) | Main power input; accepts 2.7–10 V DC with recommended 100 nF + 10 µF parallel decoupling. |
| 6–8 | No Connect | Internally unconnected pins; left floating or tied to ground per layout best practices to minimize parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers ±2.4 V swing at ±2.5 V supply, maximizing dynamic range without external level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low input noise | 4 nV/√Hz at 100 kHz enables clean amplification of low-level electret microphone outputs (<10 mV RMS). |
| Low harmonic distortion | 0.003 % THD ensures fidelity in recording equipment signal paths compliant with AES17 standards. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 2.7 V to 10 V single supply, eliminating need for dual-rail generation in portable designs. |
| Stable capacitive load drive | Maintains phase margin ≥60° into 100 pF loads, supporting direct connection to ADC input filters or coaxial cable drivers. |
Applications
| Microphone Pre-amplifier | Portable CD Player Audio Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-output electret condenser microphone signals (5–10 mV RMS) before ADC sampling in voice-recording devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended, non-inverting gain-of-100 amplifier with DC-blocking input capacitor and output low-pass filter. Use Value: 4 nV/√Hz input noise and 0.003 % THD preserve speech intelligibility and reduce post-processing SNR loss. | Use Scenario: Buffering DAC output in battery-powered CD players to drive headphone amplifiers or line outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unity-gain rail-to-rail voltage follower isolating DAC from variable load impedance. Use Value: ±2.4 V output swing at 3.3 V supply ensures full-scale analog headroom without clipping during peak audio transients. |
| Sound Card Line Input | Multimedia PDA Audio Codec Interface |
Use Scenario: Accepting consumer line-level inputs (−10 dBV, ~0.316 V RMS) into PC sound cards with software-configurable gain. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Programmable-gain amplifier stage with digital potentiometer feedback network. Use Value: 12 MHz GBW and 4 V/µs slew rate prevent transient response degradation across 20 Hz–20 kHz bandwidth. | Use Scenario: Interfacing stereo audio codec outputs to internal speaker drivers or external jack in handheld PDAs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail single-supply buffer with VDD = GND and VCC = 3.3 V, driving 32 Ω loads via series resistor. Use Value: SO-8 thermal resistance (125 °C/W) limits junction rise to <15 °C at 2.8 mA quiescent current, avoiding thermal drift in compact form factors. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC2271CDR | Higher input offset voltage (1.5 mV max vs. 7 mV), lower GBW (2.2 MHz), higher supply current (1.3 mA vs. 2.8 mA) | Optimized for precision DC-coupled sensors rather than wideband audio; lacks rail-to-rail output swing specification | Select when DC accuracy outweighs audio fidelity; avoid for THD-sensitive microphone preamps |
| OPA344UA | Lower noise (11 nV/√Hz), higher THD (0.01 %), same SO-8 package and supply range | Targeted at general-purpose instrumentation; not characterized for audio-specific distortion metrics | Acceptable for line-level buffering where SNR > 90 dB suffices; not recommended for mic preamp gain stages |
Compared with TLC2271CDR and OPA344UA, TS461CDT uniquely balances ultra-low THD, rail-to-rail output, and audio-optimized noise floor - making it the only choice among the three for high-fidelity portable microphone signal chains requiring <0.005 % distortion and >100 dB SNR.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TS461CDT can drive without instability?
The TS461CDT maintains ≥60° phase margin into 100 pF capacitive loads when configured as a unity-gain buffer with proper supply decoupling (100 nF ceramic + 10 µF bulk). Driving >200 pF requires external isolation resistor (≥10 Ω) in series with the output to preserve stability per Figure 12 in DS1416 Rev 4.
Does TS461CDT support true single-supply operation with input common-mode range extending to VDD?
No - its input common-mode voltage range is specified as VDD +1.15 V to VCC −1.15 V. With VDD = 0 V (ground), the minimum valid input is +1.15 V, so it cannot accept signals down to ground without level-shifting. For true rail-to-rail input, consider TS462CDT (dual) or TS464CDT (quad).
Can TS461CDT be used in inverting amplifier configurations with gain < 1?
Yes - the TS461CDT supports stable inverting configurations down to gain = 0.1 (−20 dB) when using feedback resistors ≥10 kΩ and maintaining CL ≤ 10 pF. Layout must minimize stray capacitance at the inverting input node to avoid peaking above 1 MHz per electrical characteristics Table 3.
Is the TS461CDT pin-compatible with other op-amps in SO-8 package like LM358 or TL072?
No - TS461CDT uses a non-standard SO-8 pinout: Pin 1 = inverting input, Pin 2 = non-inverting input, Pin 3 = output, Pin 4 = VDD, Pin 5 = VCC, Pins 6–8 = NC. LM358 and TL072 use Pin 4 = VDD and Pin 8 = VCC, with active pins occupying all eight positions - direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
