Product details
Overview
TS4890IDT from STMicroelectronics is a rail-to-rail output 1 W audio power amplifier in SO8 package, designed for single-supply portable audio systems. It delivers 1 W RMS into 8 Ω at 5 V with 0.1% THD+N, operates from 2.2–5.5 V, and features active-low standby mode drawing only 10 nA. Used in mobile phones and notebook computers for speaker drive.
For engineers reviewing the TS4890IDT datasheet, TS4890IDT pinout, TS4890IDT application, or TS4890IDT equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage operation (2.2 V), ultra-low standby current, rail-to-rail output swing, pop/click suppression, and unity-gain stability with external gain-setting resistors.
Technical Context
The TS4890IDT is a Class-AB audio amplifier with internal thermal shutdown protection and integrated pop-and-click reduction circuitry. Its BTL-capable architecture supports both single-ended and bridge-tied-load configurations, enabling flexible output power scaling without external bootstrap components.
It uses an internal bias network to maintain stable quiescent current across supply voltages from 2.2 V to 5.5 V, and its PSSR of 75 dB at 217 Hz ensures robust immunity to GSM noise in cellular handsets. Gain is set externally via Rin and Rfeed, supporting closed-loop gains from 1 to 10.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 1 W RMS into 8 Ω @ 5 V, THD = 1%, f = 1 kHz - sufficient for loudspeaker drive in compact portable devices |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.2 V to 5.5 V - enables direct battery operation from single Li-ion or dual alkaline cells |
| THD+N | 0.1% @ Pout = 250 mW, VCC = 5 V - preserves audio fidelity in mid-power playback scenarios |
| Standby Current | 10 nA max with active-low STBY pin asserted - extends battery life during idle periods |
| PSSR | 75 dB @ 217 Hz, VCC = 5 V → 2.2 V - suppresses power supply ripple and RF-induced noise in mobile applications |
| Gain Stability | Unity-gain stable - allows use with minimal external components and avoids oscillation risk in low-gain designs |
| Thermal Protection | Internal shutdown at 150 °C junction temperature - prevents damage under sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
TS4890IDT is housed in an SO8 (Small Outline 8-pin) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, suitable for automated assembly and moderate power dissipation. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 175 °C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts audio signal source; referenced to ground in SE configuration or half-supply in BTL |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Connected to feedback network (Rin/Rfeed); sets closed-loop gain and DC bias point |
| 3 (STBY) | Standby control input | Active-low enable: drives <10 nA when pulled low; high-impedance when floating or high |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for input, output, and bias currents; must be low-impedance plane |
| 5 (VOUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable output stage; drives speaker directly in SE mode or one side of BTL load |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single supply input (2.2–5.5 V); bypass capacitor (Cs) required between VCC and GND |
| 7 (BYPASS) | Half-supply decoupling | Connects to 0.1 µF capacitor to GND to stabilize internal bias node for rail-to-rail operation |
| 8 (OUT) | Secondary output (BTL mode) | Used only in bridge-tied-load configuration; inverted copy of Pin 5 output for doubled voltage swing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Enables full dynamic range utilization at low supply voltages (e.g., 2.2 V), maximizing loudness per watt |
| Pop-and-click suppression | Reduces audible transients during power-up/down and standby transitions-critical for user-facing audio systems |
| Ultra-low standby current (10 nA) | Extends battery runtime in always-on or intermittently used portable devices without requiring external power gating |
| 75 dB PSRR at 217 Hz | Rejects GSM burst noise and switching regulator ripple, eliminating audible artifacts in cellular handset environments |
| Unity-gain stable architecture | Eliminates need for compensation capacitors; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in gain-flexible designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5707RTAT | Class-D, 3 W into 8 Ω, I²S input, integrated DSP - requires digital audio interface and external inductors | Higher efficiency (>90%) but larger solution size; suited for battery-powered streaming speakers | Select if system uses digital audio source and prioritizes efficiency over analog simplicity |
| TPA2013D1YZFT | Class-D, 3.2 W into 4 Ω, 2.5–5.5 V, integrated boost - includes adaptive DRC and thermal foldback | Higher output power and built-in protection, but lacks rail-to-rail analog input compatibility | Select if loudness and long-term reliability under variable load are critical, and digital control is available |
Compared with TAS5707RTAT and TPA2013D1YZFT, the TS4890IDT offers superior analog input transparency, minimal external component count, and guaranteed rail-to-rail operation below 2.5 V-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained analog audio paths.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended bypass capacitor value on the BYPASS pin?
The BYPASS pin requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor connected to ground to stabilize the internal bias node. This value is specified in ST's application schematic (Figure 2) and ensures proper rail-to-rail output swing across the full 2.2–5.5 V supply range. Larger values (e.g., 1 µF) do not improve performance and may slow startup transient response.
Can TS4890IDT drive a 4 Ω speaker in single-ended mode?
Yes, but with derated output power and increased thermal stress. At 5 V, maximum safe continuous output into 4 Ω is 600 mW RMS (per Figure 20), limited by junction temperature rise. For full 1 W capability, use BTL configuration or 8 Ω load. Thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C junction temperature.
How does the STBY pin behave when left unconnected?
The STBY pin has an internal pull-down resistor (Rstb ≈ 10 MΩ per Table 2), so it defaults to active-low standby mode when floating, drawing <10 nA. To enable normal operation, STBY must be driven logic-high (≥0.7 × VCC) via MCU GPIO or external pull-up. No external pull-up is required unless fast wake-up timing is needed.
Is the TS4890IDT unity-gain stable with capacitive loads?
Yes, the amplifier is unity-gain stable with purely resistive feedback, but capacitive loads >100 pF on the output require series isolation resistor (typically 1–10 Ω) to prevent peaking or oscillation. This is confirmed in ST's "Decoupling of the circuit" section (5.5) and Figure 25–26 stability curves.
