Product details
Overview
TS4962IQT from STMicroelectronics is a differential Class-D BTL mono audio power amplifier delivering up to 2.2 W into 4 Ω at 5 V with 1% THD+N, operating from 2.4 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring adjustable gain via external resistors and active-low standby mode for ultra-low 10 nA quiescent current - deployed in cellular phones and notebook PCs.
For engineers reviewing the TS4962IQT datasheet, TS4962IQT pinout, TS4962IQT application, or TS4962IQT equivalent, key selection criteria include output power vs. supply voltage (e.g., 0.7 W @ 3.0 V into 4 Ω), PWM base frequency (280 kHz typical), efficiency (88% typical), SNR (85 dB A-weighted), and DFN8 3 × 3 mm thermal performance (Rthja = 50 °C/W on 4-layer PCB).
Technical Context
The TS4962IQT implements a differential-input, bridge-tied-load (BTL) Class-D architecture with internal PWM generation at 280 kHz base frequency and integrated pop/click suppression enabling ≤5 ms wake-up time. Its common-mode feedback loop stabilizes input bias while supporting single-ended or dual-differential input configurations.
Gain is set externally via two matched resistors (Rin), yielding G = 300 kΩ / Rin (Rin in kΩ); standby control is active-low with 300 kΩ internal pull-up resistance and 10 nA typical shutdown current. PSRR is 63 dB at 217 Hz, and CMRR reaches 57 dB under rated conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 2.2 W into 4 Ω @ 5 V, 1% THD+N - sufficient for loudspeaker drive in space-constrained portable devices |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and USB-powered systems |
| Efficiency | 88% typical @ 2 W into 4 Ω - reduces thermal load and extends battery life vs. Class-AB alternatives |
| Standby Current | 10 nA typical - enables always-on audio subsystems without measurable battery drain |
| SNR | 85 dB A-weighted @ 1.2 W into 8 Ω - ensures high-fidelity playback with low background noise |
| PWM Frequency | 280 kHz typical - allows compact LC filter design (e.g., 15 µH + 2.2 µF) with minimal EMI |
| Wake-up Time | 5 ms maximum - supports responsive audio activation in UI-driven applications |
Pinout & Package
TS4962IQT is housed in a thermally enhanced DFN8 3 × 3 mm package with exposed pad (recommended to connect to ground). The 8-pin layout supports differential input, BTL output, and low-impedance power/ground routing for optimal EMI and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (STBY) | Active-low standby control input | Drives device into 10 nA shutdown when pulled to GND; internal 300 kΩ pull-up ensures default ON state |
| 2 (NC) | No internal connection | Must remain unconnected - no routing or soldering required |
| 3 (IN+) | Differential positive input | Accepts balanced signal; paired with IN− to reject common-mode noise and enable gain tuning |
| 4 (IN−) | Differential negative input | Completes differential pair; enables rejection of supply ripple and board-level interference |
| 5 (OUT+) | BTL positive output | Drives one side of speaker load; swings rail-to-rail in antiphase with OUT− for doubled voltage swing |
| 6 (VCC) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.4–5.5 V; requires local 100 nF ceramic bypass capacitor adjacent to pin |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path; exposed pad must be connected to this node for thermal and EMI integrity |
| 8 (OUT−) | BTL negative output | Drives opposite speaker terminal; phase-inverted relative to OUT+ to deliver full BTL power |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential BTL Output Architecture | Delivers 2× voltage swing across load vs. single-ended, enabling 2.2 W into 4 Ω without output coupling capacitors |
| Adjustable Gain via External Resistors | Gain = 300 kΩ / Rin (Rin in kΩ) - permits precise system-level gain matching without trimming ICs |
| Ultra-Low Standby Current | 10 nA typical - eliminates need for external power gating in battery-critical designs |
| Integrated Pop/Click Suppression | Enables <5 ms startup with no audible transients - critical for user-facing audio in mobile UIs |
| High PSRR (63 dB @ 217 Hz) | Rejects GSM burst noise and switching regulator ripple without additional supply filtering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Class-D mono audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5342AIDAPR | Higher output (5 W into 4 Ω), but requires external LC filter and operates from 8–24 V - not pin-compatible | Suitable for higher-power portable speakers; incompatible with sub-3.6 V battery operation | Select only if ≥4 W output and wider supply range are required; adds filter complexity and board area |
| MAX9718ETA+ | Fixed 12 dB gain, 1.4 W into 4 Ω @ 5 V, 85% efficiency, same DFN8 package but different pinout (no NC pin) | Lacks adjustable gain and differential input - limited noise immunity in noisy digital environments | Choose when gain stability and simplicity outweigh need for noise rejection and flexible gain scaling |
Compared with TAS5342AIDAPR and MAX9718ETA+, TS4962IQT uniquely combines filter-free operation, differential input, gain adjustability, and sub-3 V capability - making it optimal for compact, battery-powered audio endpoints where noise immunity and supply flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended supply voltage for reliable operation of TS4962IQT?
The TS4962IQT operates reliably down to 2.4 V, with full specifications guaranteed at that voltage. Below 2.4 V, functionality is not assured; at 2.4–2.5 V, the operating temperature range is restricted to 0°C to +70°C per datasheet Table 3. Output power drops to 0.42 W into 4 Ω at 2.4 V with 1% THD+N.
Can TS4962IQT drive an 8 Ω speaker without an external LC filter?
Yes - TS4962IQT is specified as "filter-free" and can directly drive 8 Ω loads. At 5 V, it delivers 1.4 W into 8 Ω with 1% THD+N. For EMI compliance in radiated emission tests, ST recommends adding a small ferrite bead or RC snubber at the outputs, but no full LC filter is required for basic operation.
How is gain configured, and what resistor values yield 6 dB and 12 dB gain?
Gain is set by external resistor Rin per G = 300 kΩ / Rin (Rin in kΩ). For 6 dB (G = 2), use Rin = 150 kΩ; for 12 dB (G = 4), use Rin = 75 kΩ. Both resistors must be matched to ±1% to maintain common-mode rejection and minimize offset.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DFN8 package electrically connected internally?
No - the exposed pad is not internally connected to any die node. ST recommends soldering it to the PCB ground plane to improve thermal dissipation (reducing Rthja from 120 °C/W to 50 °C/W) and enhance EMI shielding. It may be left floating only if thermal performance is not critical.
