Product details
Overview
TS482IST from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel rail-to-rail stereo headphone amplifier IC designed for low-voltage portable audio systems. It delivers 100mW per channel into 16Ω at 5V, achieves 110dB(A) SNR and 85dB PSRR, and features switch ON/OFF click reduction circuitry for clean audio startup/shutdown in battery-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the TS482IST datasheet, TS482IST pinout, TS482IST application, or TS482IST equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-voltage stereo amplification where THD+N ≤ 0.1%, crosstalk ≥ 100dB at 1kHz, and unity-gain stability with external resistor-set gain are required in space-constrained MiniSO-8 layouts.
Technical Context
The TS482IST integrates two independent, unity-gain stable operational amplifiers optimized for capacitive-coupled headphone drive. Its rail-to-rail input/output architecture enables full dynamic range utilization down to VCC = 2V, while internal click-reduction logic suppresses transient artifacts during enable/disable transitions.
It operates with fixed gain (via external Rin/Rfeed) or as a configurable amplifier, supporting load impedances from 16Ω to 32Ω. The device maintains >100dB crosstalk isolation at 1kHz and exhibits 1.35MHz typical gain-bandwidth product with 0.45V/µs slew rate under 16Ω loads.
Key Specifications

| Gain Bandwidth | 1.35MHz typ.; supports full 20Hz–20kHz audio bandwidth with margin for stability |
Pinout & Package
TS482IST is housed in an 8-pin MiniSO-8 package (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), thermally enhanced for portable audio applications with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN− (1) | Inverting input of Channel 1; connects to feedback network for gain setting |
| 2 | VIN+ (1) | Non-inverting input of Channel 1; accepts AC-coupled audio signal |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2–5.5V); requires local 220µF bulk + 1µF ceramic bypass |
| 5 | OUT (1) | Channel 1 output; drives left-channel headphone load via series DC-blocking capacitor |
| 6 | OUT (2) | Channel 2 output; drives right-channel headphone load with matched output impedance |
| 7 | VIN+ (2) | Non-inverting input of Channel 2; isolated from Channel 1 for stereo integrity |
| 8 | VIN− (2) | Inverting input of Channel 2; independently configured for channel-specific gain |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Enables maximum voltage swing (e.g., 0.3V to 4.7V @ 5V) for highest possible output power into low-Z headphones |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar stereo headphone amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4410ETE+ | Higher 125mW output @ 5V/16Ω but requires 2.7V min supply; 0.0005% THD+N lower; uses 12-pin TQFN | Better suited for performance-critical portable audio with tighter THD budgets; larger footprint | Select when <0.001% THD+N is mandatory and board area permits 3×3mm TQFN |
| TAS5707PAP | Digital-input Class-D amplifier; 2.5W output; requires I²S interface and external LC filter; higher efficiency | Targeted at battery-powered speakers-not headphone loads; incompatible signal chain (digital vs. analog input) | Choose only for new designs accepting digital audio interface and willing to add filtering components |
Compared with MAX4410ETE+, TS482IST offers wider supply range (2V vs. 2.7V) and smaller MiniSO-8 footprint but trades 25mW output and 0.0005% THD+N. Versus TAS5707PAP, it provides direct analog compatibility and zero external filtering-critical for cost-sensitive, space-limited headphone implementations.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of TS482IST?
The TS482IST is fully specified down to 2V supply voltage, delivering 11.5mW per channel into 16Ω at 2V with 0.02% THD+N. Operation below 2V is not guaranteed-absolute maximum rating allows 1.8V transient but functional performance degrades rapidly below 2V due to reduced output swing and increased crossover distortion.
Does TS482IST require external compensation components?
No-TS482IST is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation capacitors. Its internal frequency compensation ensures stability with gains ≥ 1 when using standard external gain-setting resistors (e.g., 3.9kΩ Rin/Rfeed). Stability is verified across all load conditions (16Ω–32Ω) and supply voltages (2V–5.5V).
How is click/pop noise suppressed in TS482IST?
TS482IST integrates dedicated internal circuitry that controls bias sequencing and output stage ramping during enable/disable transitions. This eliminates turn-on/turn-off transients without requiring external mute switches or software-controlled GPIO delays-verified to reduce audible clicks to inaudible levels per IEC 60268-7.
Can TS482IST drive 32Ω headphones effectively at 3.3V?
Yes-TS482IST delivers 38mW per channel into 32Ω at 3.3V (1% THD+N), sufficient for most consumer headphones (typically 90–110dB/mW sensitivity). Output swing remains rail-to-rail (0.3V–3.0V), preserving dynamic range; SNR stays at 107dB(A), ensuring clean playback even at low volumes.
