Product details
Overview
TS4871IST from STMicroelectronics is a mono rail-to-rail audio power amplifier delivering 1 W RMS into 8 Ω at 5 V supply, with 0.1% THD+N at 250 mW output, ultra-low 10 nA standby current, and 75 dB PSRR at 217 Hz - designed for portable audio output stages in space-constrained mobile handsets and notebooks.
For engineers reviewing the TS4871IST datasheet, TS4871IST pinout, TS4871IST application, or TS4871IST equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role, MiniSO-8 package mapping, thermal shutdown behavior, gain configuration method, and real-world audio performance trade-offs across 2.6–5.5 V operation.
Technical Context
The TS4871IST integrates a unity-gain-stable Class-AB output stage with internal thermal shutdown (trip at 150 °C) and external standby control via dedicated STBY pin. It operates over 2.5–5.5 V supply while maintaining stable phase margin (70°) and gain margin (20 dB) into 8 Ω loads with 500 pF capacitive load.
Its rail-to-rail output swing enables full utilization of low-voltage supplies, and its PSRR of 75 dB at 217 Hz suppresses GSM noise coupling. Gain is set externally using resistor pairs (Rin/Rfeed), supporting closed-loop gains of 2× or 10× in BTL configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 1 W RMS @ 5 V, 8 Ω, THD = 1%, 1 kHz - sufficient to drive small speakers without external boost stages |
| THD + N | 0.15% @ 250 mW, 8 Ω, 20 Hz–20 kHz - preserves audio fidelity in voice and media playback |
| Supply Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports Li-ion, Li-poly, and dual-cell alkaline battery systems directly |
| Standby Current | 10 nA typical - enables >1-year battery shelf life in always-on portable devices |
| PSRR | 75 dB @ 217 Hz - rejects cellular baseband ripple without additional LDO filtering |
| Phase Margin | 70° @ unity gain, 8 Ω + 500 pF - ensures stability with common ceramic output coupling caps |
| Gain Bandwidth | 2 MHz - supports flat frequency response up to 20 kHz with 2× gain configuration |
Pinout & Package
TS4871IST is housed in a MiniSO-8 surface-mount package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.95 mm height, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for compact PCB layouts in handheld audio subsystems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (STBY) | Standby control input | Logic-high (VCC − 0.5 V to VCC) disables amplifier; logic-low (GND to 0.5 V) enables operation |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts single-ended audio signal; referenced to GND or half-supply depending on bypass capacitor configuration |
| 3 (IN−) | Inverting input | Connected to feedback network (Rfeed) to set closed-loop gain; high-impedance node |
| 4 (VOUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail voltage source driving speaker load directly; requires AC-coupling capacitor to speaker |
| 5 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Common return for input, feedback, and output paths; must be low-impedance plane |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; requires 100 µF bulk bypass capacitor per datasheet layout guidelines |
| 7 (BYP) | Half-supply bypass | Connects to 1 µF capacitor to generate internal virtual ground for single-supply operation |
| 8 (NC) | No connect | Internally unused; left floating or tied to GND per PCB layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers full dynamic range from 0 V to VCC, maximizing SNR in low-voltage battery-powered systems |
| Ultra-low standby current | 10 nA enables true "off-mode" power gating in always-listening voice interfaces |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Internal sensor disables output at 150 °C junction temperature, preventing permanent damage during overload |
| Unity-gain stable architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation components when configured for G = 1, simplifying BOM |
| High PSRR at 217 Hz | 75 dB rejection of GSM switching noise allows direct connection to noisy shared power rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar mono audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9718ETA+ | Higher 1.4 W output @ 5 V, but 1.2 µA standby current - 120× higher than TS4871IST | Better for high-volume speaker apps; unsuitable for multi-year battery life designs | Select when peak output >1 W is required and standby current is secondary |
| TFA9894UK/N1 | Digital-input Class-D amplifier with I²S interface; no analog input pins or external gain resistors | Requires digital audio source; incompatible with analog line-out or DAC outputs | Select only for new designs with digital audio path and strict efficiency targets |
Compared with MAX9718ETA+ and TFA9894UK/N1, the TS4871IST uniquely balances ultra-low standby consumption, analog flexibility, and rail-to-rail output in a MiniSO-8 footprint - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-constrained portable audio where analog signal chain integration is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended supply voltage for stable operation?
The TS4871IST guarantees full specification compliance down to 2.5 V supply. At 2.6 V, it delivers 260 mW into 8 Ω at 1% THD; operation below 2.5 V risks output clipping, reduced PSRR, and potential instability due to insufficient headroom for internal biasing circuits.
Can the TS4871IST drive a 4 Ω speaker load?
Yes - the datasheet specifies operation with 4–32 Ω loads. At 5 V, it delivers 1.4 W into 4 Ω (THD = 1%, 1 kHz), but thermal derating must be applied: maximum ambient temperature drops to ~65 °C per Figure 21 due to higher power dissipation.
How is gain configured, and what resistor values are recommended for G = 2?
Gain is set by external Rin (inverting input to GND) and Rfeed (output to inverting input). For G = 2, use Rin = Rfeed = 22 kΩ (per Table 6); tolerance ≤1% is recommended to minimize gain error and maintain THD performance.
Does the TS4871IST require an output coupling capacitor?
Yes - the output is DC-coupled internally but must be AC-coupled to the speaker via a series capacitor (typically 220–470 µF) to block residual offset voltage (5–20 mV) and prevent speaker coil damage or audible pop during power-up.
