Product details
Overview
TS4902IDT from STMicroelectronics is a mono bridge-tied-load (BTL) audio power amplifier delivering 0.7W into 8Ω at 5V, 0.3W at 3.3V, with 0.1% THD+N at 200mW, 77dB PSRR at 217Hz, and 10nA standby current. It operates from 2.2V to 5.5V and targets space-constrained portable audio systems requiring low-noise, low-pop output.
For engineers reviewing the TS4902IDT datasheet, TS4902IDT pinout, TS4902IDT application, or TS4902IDT equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated SO8 pin mapping, confirmed BTL output architecture, real-world power/THD/PSRR trade-offs, and design-meaningful alternatives for mobile audio signal chain optimization.
Technical Context
The TS4902IDT implements a unity-gain-stable, internally compensated operational amplifier core configured in fixed-gain BTL mode via external resistors (Rin, Rfeed), enabling differential output swing up to ±VCC across the load. Its open-loop gain-bandwidth product is 2MHz, with 70° phase margin and 20dB gain margin under 8Ω + 500pF load conditions.
It features active-low standby control (VSTB ≤ 0.5V activates <10nA shutdown), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and rail-to-rail input common-mode range (GND to VCC − 1.5V). Pop-and-click suppression relies on controlled charge timing between Cin and Cb, governed by τin ≪ τb (e.g., Rin = Rfeed = 22kΩ, Cin = 82nF, Cb = 1µF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 0.7W RMS @ 5V, 1kHz, THD = 1%, 8Ω - enables loud enough playback for mono speaker in handheld devices without heatsinking |
| THD + N | 0.15% @ 250mW, Gv = 2, 20Hz–20kHz, 8Ω - ensures audible fidelity in voice and mid-range content without harmonic masking |
| PSRR | 77dB @ 217Hz, 5V→2.2V ripple - rejects GSM-like supply noise critical in cellular handsets sharing noisy DC-DC rails |
| Standby Current | 10nA typical - extends battery life >1 year in always-on standby mode for portable audio accessories |
| Supply Range | 2.2V to 5.5V - supports direct Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), Li-poly, or regulated 3.3V/5V rails without LDO overhead |
| Phase Margin | 70° @ unity gain, 8Ω + 500pF - guarantees stable operation with standard ceramic output coupling and bypass caps |
| Gain Bandwidth | 2MHz - supports flat frequency response up to ~125kHz, accommodating ultrasonic filtering and EMI mitigation |
Pinout & Package
TS4902IDT is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO8) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, surface-mount footprint, and exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 150°C/W with recommended PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | BTL Output 1 (Inverting) | Drives one side of speaker; inverted polarity relative to VIN+; must connect to speaker negative terminal in standard BTL layout |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting Input | Accepts audio signal; internal bias sets DC operating point; requires AC coupling via Cin to block source offset |
| 3 (IN−) | Inverting Input | Feedback node tied to Rfeed/Rin divider; sets closed-loop gain (Gv = 2×Rfeed/Rin); high-impedance node |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Primary return path for input, feedback, and output currents; must be low-impedance star point near device |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive Supply Rail | 2.2–5.5V input; requires ≥100µF bulk bypass (Cs) close to pin to suppress HF THD degradation and supply rail disturbance |
| 6 (BYPASS) | Half-Supply Bias Filter | Connects to 1µF capacitor (Cb) to generate stable virtual ground; determines pop/click softness and low-frequency PSRR |
| 7 (STANDBY) | Active-Low Enable | Pull to GND (≤0.5V) for shutdown; pull to VCC (≥1.5V) for operation; 1µs response time enables fast wake/sleep transitions |
| 8 (OUT) | BTL Output 2 (Non-inverting) | Drives opposite speaker terminal; in-phase with VIN+; connects to speaker positive terminal for net differential drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BTL Output Architecture | Doubles effective voltage swing across speaker vs. single-ended, quadrupling output power at same supply voltage and reducing even-order distortion |
| Ultra-Low Standby Consumption | 10nA max shutdown current enables multi-year battery life in always-listening portable audio accessories without manual power cycling |
| Pop & Click Suppression | Controlled turn-on via Cin/Cb time constant ratio (τin ≪ τb) minimizes transient spikes-no external mute circuit required |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Auto-recovery cutoff at 150°C junction temperature prevents permanent damage during sustained high-power or poor-PCB thermal design |
| Unity-Gain Stable Design | Operates reliably with gain ≥1 using only external resistors-no compensation capacitors needed, simplifying layout and BOM |

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 2.7–5.5V supply; 1.2mA quiescent vs. TS4902's 6mA; no standby pin - uses shutdown enable | Preferred where higher volume is mandatory and board space allows larger decoupling; less suitable for ultra-low-power standby-critical designs | Select MAX9718 when peak SPL >95dB is required and system can tolerate higher static current; verify thermal derating on compact PCBs |
| TAS5342DAPR | Digital-input Class-D amplifier; 2.8W output @ 5V/8Ω; integrated PWM controller; requires I²S input and external LC filter | Targets designs with digital audio sources and need for >85% efficiency; incompatible with analog line-in or DAC outputs | Choose TAS5342 only if system uses I²S audio stream and thermal/power efficiency outweighs analog interface simplicity and BOM count |
Compared with MAX9718ETA+ and TAS5342DAPR, TS4902IDT offers the lowest standby current (10nA vs. µA/mA), simplest analog interface (no I²S or complex enable sequencing), and smallest external component count-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-limited mono audio endpoints.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended bypass capacitor value on the VCC pin?
The datasheet specifies a minimum 100µF electrolytic or low-ESR tantalum capacitor (Cs) directly at the VCC pin. Using less than 100µF increases THD+N above 7kHz and reduces PSRR effectiveness due to insufficient high-frequency supply filtering. Ceramic capacitors alone are inadequate; a hybrid approach (e.g., 100µF tantalum + 100nF ceramic) is preferred for broadband decoupling.
Can TS4902IDT drive a 4Ω speaker?
Yes, TS4902IDT supports 4Ω to 32Ω loads per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. At 5V, it delivers ~0.9W into 4Ω (THD = 1%, 1kHz), but power dissipation rises significantly-thermal derating curves show maximum ambient temperature drops to ~60°C for continuous 4Ω operation. PCB copper area and airflow must be enhanced to avoid thermal shutdown.
How does the standby pin behave electrically?
The STANDBY pin is CMOS-compatible with active-low logic: device enters <10nA shutdown when pin voltage ≤0.5V (GND reference), and operates normally when ≥1.5V (up to VCC). Internal pull-down is absent-external Rstb (typically 100kΩ) is required to ensure defined state during MCU reset. Response time is 1µs, enabling rapid wake-up for voice-triggered applications.
Is external gain-setting resistor matching critical for THD performance?
Yes. The datasheet shows THD+N degrades if Rin and Rfeed tolerance exceeds ±1%. For Gv = 2 (Rin = Rfeed = 22kΩ), use 1% metal-film resistors placed symmetrically near the IN− pin. Mismatch introduces common-mode imbalance, increasing even-order harmonics and reducing PSRR-particularly noticeable below 1kHz where human hearing is most sensitive.
