Product details
Overview
TS4900ID from STMicroelectronics is a mono BTL audio power amplifier IC delivering 0.7W RMS into 8Ω at 5V supply with 0.1% THD+N at 200mW, ultra-low 10nA standby current, and 75dB PSRR at 217Hz - deployed in mobile handsets and portable audio devices for efficient loudspeaker drive with pop/click suppression.
For engineers reviewing the TS4900ID datasheet, TS4900ID pinout, TS4900ID application, or TS4900ID equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (BTL Class-AB audio amplifier), exact package (SO8), thermal resistance (150°C/W), gain configuration method (external Rin/Rfeed), and real-world load compatibility (4–32Ω).
Technical Context
The TS4900ID operates in bridge-tied-load (BTL) mode, generating differential output (VOUT1, VOUT2) with 2× voltage swing across the load - enabling 4× output power versus single-ended topology at same VCC. It uses external resistive feedback (Rin, Rfeed) to set closed-loop gain (Gv = 2 × Rfeed/Rin) and supports BTL gain of 2 or 10.
It features unity-gain stability with 70° phase margin and 20dB gain margin at 8Ω/500pF load, 2MHz GBP, and internal thermal shutdown triggered at 150°C. Standby mode is active-high (VSTB ≥ VCC − 0.5V), achieving <10nA quiescent current and <1µs wake-up response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports Li-ion battery (3.3V nominal) and USB-powered (5V) portable systems without LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Power | 0.7W @ 5V/8Ω/1kHz/THD=1% - sufficient for 25mm–30mm loudspeakers in smartphones and PDAs. |
| THD + N | 0.1% @ 200mW/8Ω/20Hz–20kHz - ensures high-fidelity playback with minimal harmonic artifacts. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 217Hz - rejects GSM burst noise and switching regulator ripple without additional filtering. |
| Standby Current | 10nA max - enables multi-week battery standby in always-on audio subsystems. |
| Thermal Resistance | 150°C/W (SO8) - requires minimum 100mm² copper pour under exposed pad for full 0.7W operation at +85°C ambient. |
| Gain Bandwidth | 2MHz - supports stable 20kHz audio bandwidth with 2× or 10× BTL gain configurations. |
Pinout & Package
TS4900ID is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO8) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, gull-wing leads, and no exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; top-view pin numbering follows counter-clockwise order.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (STBY) | Standby control input | Active-high logic: tie to VCC for shutdown (IQ < 10nA); tie to GND for normal operation. |
| 2 (BYP) | Bias voltage bypass | Connect 1µF capacitor to GND to stabilize internal half-supply reference and improve low-frequency PSRR. |
| 3 (VIN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts AC-coupled audio signal; high-impedance node (typ. >1MΩ) for direct connection to codec line-out. |
| 4 (VIN−) | Inverting input | Connected externally to Rin and Rfeed to set closed-loop gain; forms feedback network with VOUT2. |
| 5 (VOUT1) | BTL output 1 | Drives one side of speaker; swings ±(VCC/2) in BTL mode - must be AC-coupled or DC-blocked before speaker. |
| 6 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Common return for VCC, inputs, bypass caps, and speaker - requires low-impedance PCB plane routing. |
| 7 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires 100µF bulk + 100nF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin for THD/N performance. |
| 8 (VOUT2) | BTL output 2 | Drives opposite speaker terminal with inverted phase; differential voltage (VOUT2 − VOUT1) delivers full power to load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BTL output architecture | Delivers 4× more power than SE amplifiers at same VCC; eliminates output coupling capacitor and reduces system BOM cost. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 10nA maximum - extends battery life in voice-assistant wake-on-voice or alarm-clock applications requiring persistent audio readiness. |
| Pop & click suppression | Internal soft-start and controlled turn-on sequencing minimize audible transients during power-up, standby entry, and gain changes. |
| Unity-gain stable design | Operates reliably with external gain-setting resistors (no compensation capacitor needed) - simplifies layout and reduces component count. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Auto-shutdown at 150°C junction temperature with hysteresis; resumes operation after cooldown - prevents permanent damage under overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar BTL audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9718ETA+ | Higher 1.4W output @ 5V/8Ω but requires 1.8V logic interface; 25µA standby vs. TS4900ID's 10nA. | Targeted at higher-power portable speakers; lacks integrated thermal shutdown flag output. | Select when >0.7W output is required and logic-level compatibility with 1.8V host MCU is critical. |
| TAS5706PAG | Digital-input (I²S) Class-D amplifier; 3.3W output @ 5V/8Ω; 1.2mA quiescent current; no analog input support. | Designed for DSP-based audio systems; incompatible with analog line-in sources without external ADC. | Select only for fully digital audio pipelines; not a drop-in replacement for analog-input use cases. |
Compared with MAX9718ETA+ and TAS5706PAG, TS4900ID offers the lowest standby current and simplest analog interface, making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-limited designs where 0.3–0.7W output suffices and thermal autonomy is essential.

FAQ
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the BYP pin?
A 1µF X5R ceramic capacitor placed between BYP (pin 2) and GND is required to stabilize the internal bias voltage reference. This improves low-frequency PSRR and reduces THD+N below 1kHz. Using <1µF increases distortion at bass frequencies; >1µF yields no measurable benefit and risks instability if ESR is too low.
Can TS4900ID drive a 4Ω speaker at 5V?
Yes - TS4900ID supports 4–32Ω loads. At 5V/4Ω, it delivers up to 1.2W (THD=10%) or ~0.9W (THD=1%), but power dissipation rises significantly. Thermal derating must be applied: with SO8 package (150°C/W), continuous 0.9W requires ambient ≤55°C and ≥200mm² copper area under the IC to avoid thermal shutdown.
Is the TS4900ID pin-compatible with TS4900IS (MiniSO8)?
No - TS4900ID (SO8) and TS4900IS (MiniSO8) share identical pin functions and electrical behavior, but differ in physical dimensions and thermal characteristics. MiniSO8 has higher thermal resistance (190°C/W), limiting max continuous power to ~0.5W at +85°C ambient, whereas SO8 supports 0.7W under same conditions.
How does the standby function interact with thermal shutdown?
Standby mode (STBY = high) forces the amplifier into ultra-low-power state (<10nA), disabling all internal bias currents - including thermal sensor circuitry. Therefore, thermal shutdown is inactive during standby. Upon exit from standby (STBY = low), full functionality resumes, and thermal protection becomes immediately active.
