Product details
Overview
TS4902ID from STMicroelectronics is a mono bridge-tied load (BTL) audio power amplifier delivering 0.7W RMS into 8Ω at 5V supply, with 0.1% THD+N at 200mW, 77dB PSRR at 217Hz, ultra-low 10nA standby current, and unity-gain stability-designed for compact portable audio systems requiring high fidelity and low quiescent power.
For engineers reviewing the TS4902ID datasheet, TS4902ID pinout, TS4902ID application, or TS4902ID equivalent, key selection considerations include BTL output configuration, thermal shutdown protection, external gain-setting resistor network, standby control polarity (active-low), and SO8 package compatibility with space-constrained mobile audio PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS4902ID implements a dual-output BTL architecture where VOUT1 and VOUT2 drive opposite phases across the speaker load, enabling 4× higher output power versus single-ended operation at identical supply voltage. Its internal biasing supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range (GND to VCC–1.5V) and stable operation with capacitive loads up to 560pF.
Gain is externally programmable via resistive feedback (Rfeed/Rin), supporting closed-loop gains of 2× to 10×; phase margin remains ≥70° and gain margin ≥20dB across operating conditions, ensuring robust stability without compensation capacitors beyond standard bypassing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 0.7W RMS @ 5V/8Ω, THD = 1% - sufficient for loudspeaker drive in handheld devices without heatsinking |
| THD + N | 0.15% @ 250mW/8Ω/20Hz–20kHz - preserves audio clarity in voice and music playback |
| PSRR | 77dB @ 217Hz - rejects GSM-like power supply ripple without additional filtering |
| Standby Current | 10nA max - enables multi-week battery life in always-on audio subsystems |
| Supply Range | 2.2V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, Li-poly, and dual-cell alkaline power rails |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at 150°C - prevents latch-up or permanent damage during sustained high-power operation |
| Gain Bandwidth | 2MHz - supports flat frequency response up to 125kHz with proper external compensation |
Pinout & Package
TS4902ID is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO8) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, surface-mount footprint, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement (per manufacturer thermal resistance spec: 150°C/W junction-to-ambient).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (STBY) | Standby Control Input | Active-low enable: device enters ultra-low-power mode when pulled ≤0.5V; logic-high (>1.5V) enables normal operation |
| 2 (VIN+) | Non-inverting Input | Accepts AC-coupled audio signal; forms high-pass filter with external Cin; common-mode range extends to VCC–1.5V |
| 3 (VIN−) | Inverting Input | Connected to feedback network (Rfeed) to set closed-loop gain; referenced to virtual ground |
| 4 (VOUT1) | BTL Output 1 | Drives one terminal of speaker load; inverted phase relative to VOUT2; rated for ±0.9×VCC swing |
| 5 (GND) | Analog Ground | Primary return path for input bias, feedback, and output current; must be low-impedance plane |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive Supply | 2.2–5.5V DC input; requires 100µF bulk bypass (Cs) near pin to suppress high-frequency THD degradation |
| 7 (VOUT2) | BTL Output 2 | Drives opposite speaker terminal; non-inverted phase relative to VIN+; differential swing = 2× single-ended |
| 8 (BP) | Bias Voltage Bypass | Connects to 1µF capacitor (Cb) to stabilize internal bias node; critical for PSRR <1kHz and pop/click suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BTL Output Architecture | Delivers 4× more power than SE amplifiers at same VCC, eliminating output coupling capacitor and reducing system BOM cost |
| Ultra-Low Standby Consumption | 10nA shutdown current enables >1-year battery retention in always-listening voice interface modules |
| Pop & Click Suppression | Internally optimized startup sequencing; external Cb/Cin time constant ratio (τin ≪ τb) minimizes audible transients |
| Unity-Gain Stable Design | Operates reliably with gain ≥1 using only external Rin/Rfeed; no stability-compensation capacitors required |
| Integrated Thermal Protection | Automatic shutdown at 150°C junction temperature; auto-recovery after cooldown-no external thermal sensor needed |
Applications

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 1.1W output @ 5V/8Ω; fixed 6dB gain; no standby control; requires external bootstrap capacitor | Preferred for higher-volume speaker applications but lacks ultra-low-power sleep mode | Select when peak acoustic output >0.7W is mandatory and standby current is secondary |
| TAS5342AIDBTR | Digital-input Class-D; 2.5W output; I²S interface; integrated DSP; 1.2mA quiescent (not nA-scale) | Suitable for digitally controlled audio subsystems but incompatible with analog line-in architectures | Choose only if migrating to digital audio bus and accepting 120× higher standby current |
Compared with MAX9718ETA+ and TAS5342AIDBTR, TS4902ID uniquely balances sub-1µA standby, analog input flexibility, and SO8 thermal performance-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-constrained analog audio endpoints where power efficiency outweighs raw output wattage.

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum bypass capacitor for VCC?
A 100µF electrolytic capacitor (Cs) is mandatory at the VCC pin per the datasheet to maintain specified THD+N performance above 7kHz. Smaller values increase high-frequency distortion and reduce PSRR effectiveness; larger values improve ripple rejection but add board area and cost without measurable benefit in typical portable designs.
Can TS4902ID drive a 4Ω speaker load?
Yes-TS4902ID supports 4Ω to 32Ω loads. At 5V supply, maximum continuous output power into 4Ω is 1.0W (THD = 1%), but power dissipation rises significantly; thermal derating curves (Figure 20) require ambient temperature ≤60°C for reliable 4Ω operation at full output.
How does the active-low STBY pin behave during power-up?
The STBY pin defaults to high-impedance; if left floating, the device powers up in normal mode. To ensure defined startup, STBY must be pulled high via Rstb (typically 100kΩ) to VCC. Pulling STBY low within 1µs after VCC stabilization activates standby mode before audio initialization begins.
Is external gain-setting resistor matching required for low THD?
No-TS4902ID's THD specification (0.15%) assumes standard 1% tolerance resistors. Precision matching is unnecessary because distortion is dominated by internal amplifier topology and bypass capacitor selection (Cb, Cs), not resistor ratio accuracy. Use standard metal-film 1% parts for cost-effective design.
