Product details
Overview
TS524ID from STMicroelectronics is a precision low-noise quad operational amplifier in SO14 package, designed for high-fidelity audio signal conditioning. It delivers 950 µV max input offset voltage, 4.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 15 MHz gain bandwidth product, 7 V/µs slew rate, and 0.002% THD at 20 Hz–20 kHz - enabling clean amplification in preamp and line-driver stages of professional audio equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TS524ID datasheet, TS524ID pinout, TS524ID application, or TS524ID equivalent, key selection criteria include verified low-noise performance at audio frequencies, rail-swing capability (±13.2 V into 600 Ω), channel separation >120 dB, and ESD tolerance up to 2 kV - all confirmed under ±15 V supply and −40°C to +105°C operating range.
Technical Context
The TS524ID integrates four independent high-performance op-amp channels on a single die, each featuring matched bipolar input transistors for low offset drift (2 µV/°C) and symmetrical source/sink output current (29 mA/37 mA). Its macromodel supports accurate AC and transient simulation in SPICE-based tools.
It operates from ±2.5 V to ±15 V supplies, with common-mode input range extending to ±14 V and output swing reaching ±14.6 V into 10 kΩ. The 55° phase margin at unity gain ensures stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100 pF without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.95 mV typ., ≤1.8 mV max - enables DC-coupled audio paths without significant baseline shift |
| Input Voltage Noise | 4.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves signal integrity in microphone preamps and phono stages |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 15 MHz - supports wideband audio processing up to 200 kHz full-power bandwidth |
| Slew Rate | 7 V/µs - prevents slew-induced distortion on fast transients (e.g., drum hits, percussive peaks) |
| THD + Noise | 0.002% at 3 Vrms, 20 Hz–20 kHz - meets high-end consumer and broadcast audio fidelity requirements |
| Channel Separation | 120 dB - maintains stereo imaging integrity in multi-channel line drivers |
| CMRR / PSRR | 80–100 dB - rejects power supply ripple and common-mode interference in noisy PCB environments |
Pinout & Package
TS524ID is housed in a 14-pin plastic micropackage (SO14), compliant with JEDEC MS-012, with 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA is 125°C/W (SO14, 2-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9, 12 | Inverting Input (A/B/C/D) | Differential input node per channel; high-impedance (175 kΩ) bipolar input stage |
| 2, 6, 10, 13 | Non-inverting Input (A/B/C/D) | Reference input for each amplifier; supports rail-to-rail common-mode range (±14 V) |
| 3, 7, 11, 14 | Output (A/B/C/D) | Class-AB output stage delivering ±14.6 V swing into 10 kΩ and 37 mA sink capability |
| 4 | Positive Supply (VCC+) | Accepts +2.5 V to +15 V; powers all four amplifiers simultaneously |
| 8 | Negative Supply (VCC−) | Accepts −2.5 V to −15 V; referenced to ground for dual-supply operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Input Offset Drift | 2 µV/°C - minimizes thermal-induced DC error in temperature-varying audio racks |
| High Output Drive | ±14.6 V swing into 10 kΩ, 37 mA sink - drives long cables and reactive loads without clipping |
| Integrated ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM - protects against handling damage during PCB assembly and field service |
| Macromodel Included | SPICE-compatible subcircuit (TS524) - enables accurate AC, transient, and noise simulation pre-layout |
| Wide Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±15 V - supports both portable (low-voltage) and studio-grade (high-headroom) designs |
Applications
| Professional Audio Mixer Channel Strip | High-Resolution DAC Output Buffer |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning between analog summing bus and fader/pan circuitry in 24-channel analog mixing consoles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad configuration allows one TS524ID per stereo pair (L/R) to handle inverting gain, non-inverting buffering, and differential summing without crosstalk. Use Value: 120 dB channel separation and <0.002% THD preserve stereo image fidelity and dynamic range across full mix bus. |
Use Scenario: Post-DAC analog filtering and current-to-voltage conversion in 32-bit audio playback systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as active I/V converter and second-order low-pass filter with matched internal channels. Use Value: 4.5 nV/√Hz input noise and 15 MHz GBW enable >120 dB SNR and flat response to 100 kHz. |
| Studio Microphone Preamp Stage | Line-Level Distribution Amplifier |
|
Use Scenario: First-stage gain block in transformerless condenser mic preamps requiring ultra-low noise and high CMRR. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single channel used in non-inverting configuration with 60 dB gain; remaining channels buffer auxiliary outputs. Use Value: 950 µV max Vio and 2 µV/°C drift eliminate manual nulling; ±14 V swing handles 20 dBu peak signals. |
Use Scenario: Fan-out of balanced line-level signals to multiple destinations (monitor, recorder, effects loop) in broadcast OB vans. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One TS524ID buffers four independent outputs from a single AES3 or analog source. Use Value: Symmetrical ±37 mA drive capability ensures consistent level and phase across all outputs under load. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE5534AD | Higher input bias current (300 nA vs. 250 nA typ.), lower GBP (10 MHz), no integrated ESD protection | Legacy audio design compatibility; less suitable for modern compact PCBs with handling risk | Prefer where legacy footprint reuse is critical and ESD control is managed externally |
| OPA4134UA | FET-input (lower Iib = 10 pA), higher cost, 8 MHz GBP, 20 V/µs slew rate | Better for high-Z sensor interfaces; overqualified for standard line-level audio buffering | Select only when ultra-low input current is required (e.g., piezo pickups), not for general audio gain stages |
Compared with NE5534AD and OPA4134UA, TS524ID offers optimal balance of low noise, robust ESD tolerance, and cost-effective SO14 packaging - making it preferred for new-design studio and broadcast audio signal chains where reliability and measured THD matter more than ultra-low Iib.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe supply voltage for TS524ID?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is ±18 V, but the recommended operating range is ±2.5 V to ±15 V per the electrical characteristics table. Operation beyond ±15 V risks exceeding junction temperature limits under load, especially in SO14 packages with limited thermal dissipation. Derating is required above +85°C ambient.
Does TS524ID support single-supply operation?
No - TS524ID is specified exclusively for dual-supply operation (±VCC). Its input common-mode range and output swing are centered around ground, and the internal architecture lacks rail-to-rail input or output stages. Single-supply use would violate Vicm and Vopp limits and cause clipping or phase reversal.
How does the 2 kV ESD rating apply in practice?
The 2 kV rating follows Human Body Model (HBM) per JESD22-A114. It reflects robustness during manual handling and PCB assembly, not system-level ESD immunity. Board-level protection (e.g., TVS diodes) remains necessary for I/O lines exposed to connectors or cables in final equipment.
Can TS524ID drive 600 Ω professional audio loads?
Yes - it delivers ±13.2 V output swing into 600 Ω with <0.002% THD at 1 kHz, meeting EBU R68 and AES17 line-driving standards. Sustained operation requires thermal derating: total power dissipation must stay below 500 mW, limiting continuous output to ~150 mW per channel at full swing.
