Product details
Overview
TS487ID from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel, unity-gain stable audio power amplifier optimized for stereo headphone drive in low-voltage portable systems. It delivers 102 mW per channel into 16Ω at 5V (0.1% THD+N), operates from 2V to 5.5V, features active-high standby control, and achieves 103 dB(A) SNR and 83 dB crosstalk rejection at 1 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the TS487ID datasheet, TS487ID pinout, TS487ID application, or TS487ID equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-power audio output stages requiring high PSRR (58 dB), click/pop suppression, short-circuit protection, and compatibility with 16–32Ω transducers in space-constrained mobile and embedded designs.
Technical Context
The TS487ID implements a dual rail-to-rail output stage with internal biasing for single-supply operation and includes dedicated ON/OFF click reduction circuitry to minimize transient artifacts during enable/disable transitions. Its fixed-gain variants (e.g., TS487-1I, TS487-2I) eliminate external feedback components while maintaining stability across supply voltages from 2V to 5.5V.
Standby mode is activated by pulling the SHUTDOWN pin high (TS487-specific logic), reducing quiescent current to 10 nA typical. The amplifier supports both capacitive-coupled and DC-coupled load configurations, with input offset voltage ≤1 mV and input bias current ≤200 nA - enabling precision gain-setting when used in external-resistor configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables direct integration with Li-ion, Li-polymer, and 3.3 V/5 V system rails without LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Power @ 5V | 102 mW per channel into 16Ω @ 0.1% THD+N - sufficient for loud, distortion-free headphone playback in portable audio devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5 mA max - minimizes battery drain during active audio playback in always-on or streaming applications. |
| Standby Current | 10 nA typical - allows multi-week standby in battery-powered devices with infrequent audio use. |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 103 dB(A) - ensures high-fidelity audio reproduction with negligible background noise in quiet listening environments. |
| Crosstalk Rejection | 83 dB at 1 kHz - preserves stereo imaging integrity by preventing inter-channel signal leakage in dual-channel paths. |
| PSRR | 58 dB at 1 kHz - rejects power supply ripple and digital switching noise without requiring ultra-clean analog rails. |
Pinout & Package
TS487ID is packaged in SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, 8-pin), a standard surface-mount package with 1.27 mm pitch, suitable for automated assembly and thermal management in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: BYPASS | Half-supply decoupling node | Connects to CB capacitor (typically 1 µF) to stabilize internal bias point and reduce noise coupling between channels. |
| 2: GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3: SHUTDOWN | Active-high enable control | Drives amplifier into ultra-low-power standby (10 nA) when pulled high; logic threshold defined as VCC for activation. |
| 4: Vcc | Positive supply input | Accepts 2–5.5 V; must be bypassed with CS capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) near the pin to suppress high-frequency supply noise. |
| 5: OUT(2) | Channel 2 output driver | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥106 mA; designed for direct connection to 16–32Ω headphone loads. |
| 6: OUT(1) | Channel 1 output driver | Electrically identical to OUT(2); independent output stage ensures channel isolation and simultaneous stereo drive. |
| 7: VIN(2) | Inverting input for channel 2 | Accepts differential or single-ended audio signals; input impedance ≥20 kΩ supports standard line-level source interfacing. |
| 8: VIN(1) | Inverting input for channel 1 | Matches VIN(2) characteristics; supports external gain configuration via RFEED/RIN or fixed-gain variants (e.g., TS487-1I). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation; supports fixed-gain (-1x, -2x, -4x) or user-configurable closed-loop gain without oscillation risk. |
| Click/pop suppression circuitry | Reduces audible transients during power-up, shutdown, or mute/unmute events - critical for consumer-grade audio user experience. |
| Short-circuit current limiting | Protects output stage against sustained shorts to VCC or GND; enables robust operation in unattended or field-deployed equipment. |
| High PSRR (58 dB) | Mitigates noise coupling from shared digital power domains, reducing need for separate analog regulators in mixed-signal SoC designs. |
| Low THD+N (0.3% max) | Ensures clean audio reproduction across full bandwidth (20 Hz–20 kHz) at rated output power levels into real-world headphone impedances. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel headphone amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4410ETE+ | Higher supply range (2.7–5.5 V); 95 mW/channel into 16Ω at 5V; no active-high standby (active-low only). | Requires level-shifting for standby control in TS487ID-compatible logic systems; lacks 2V operation capability. | Select when higher output voltage swing (>4.5 V) or better thermal resistance (RθJA = 65°C/W) is prioritized over ultra-low-VCC support. |
| TAS5707PAG | Digital-input Class-D amplifier; I²S/PCM interface; 1.5 W into 8Ω; not pin-compatible; requires external DAC and clocking. | Targets high-efficiency, high-power speaker drive-not low-noise, low-THD headphone output. | Select only for battery-constrained speaker applications where >80% efficiency outweighs analog fidelity requirements. |
Compared with MAX4410ETE+ and TAS5707PAG, TS487ID uniquely supports 2V operation, active-high standby, and 103 dB SNR in an SO8 package-making it optimal for legacy analog audio subsystems demanding minimal BOM count and proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of TS487ID?
The TS487ID is fully specified down to 2 V, delivering 7 mW per channel into 16Ω at 0.3% THD+N. Output swing remains functional (VOL = 0.24 V, VOH = 1.73 V) with rail-to-rail capability preserved, making it suitable for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery applications where voltage droop occurs.
Does TS487ID require external gain-setting resistors?
No - TS487ID itself is the base part number for the externally configurable version, but the "ID" suffix indicates the SO8-packaged variant of the TS487 family, which supports both external resistor gain and fixed-gain derivatives (e.g., TS487-1I). Fixed-gain versions omit RIN/RFEED components; the base TS487ID retains full external configurability.
How does the SHUTDOWN pin behave on TS487ID versus TS486ID?
TS487ID uses active-high standby logic: driving SHUTDOWN ≥VCC (or ≥1.5 V) places the device in standby (10 nA ISTANDBY). In contrast, TS486ID requires SHUTDOWN ≤0.4 V (active-low). This polarity difference prevents accidental shutdown in systems sharing control logic between the two families.
Can TS487ID drive 32Ω headphones effectively at 3.3V?
Yes - at 3.3 V, TS487ID delivers 38 mW per channel into 32Ω at 0.1% THD+N (1 kHz), with 98 dB SNR and 80 dB crosstalk. Output swing reaches VOH = 2.68 V and VOL = 0.3 V, ensuring full dynamic range utilization and low distortion across the audio band.
