Product details
Overview
TS617IDT from STMicroelectronics is a dual wideband high-output-current operational amplifier optimized for driving low-impedance loads (25 Ω and 100 Ω) in power-line and xDSL communication systems. It delivers 200 MHz bandwidth at gain = +4, 450 V/μs slew rate, ±5.1 V output swing into 100 Ω, and supports selectable power modes (high/medium/low/standby) via A0/A1 control pins.
For engineers reviewing the TS617IDT datasheet, TS617IDT pinout, TS617IDT application, or TS617IDT equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SO-14 pin mapping, real-world use cases in DSL line drivers and video distribution, and validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TS617 operates in dual ±2.5 V to ±6 V supply configurations and features independent power-mode selection per amplifier via two digital control inputs (A0, A1), enabling dynamic power scaling without external circuitry. Its transimpedance architecture delivers high open-loop gain (up to 110 kΩ) and maintains linearity under heavy capacitive loading.
It integrates thermal shutdown (Tj = 150 °C), short-circuit current limiting (800 mA peak), and robust ESD protection (2 kV HBM). Output stages are fully protected against overvoltage, reverse polarity, and latch-up - critical for unshielded twisted-pair and AC-coupled power-line interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 200 MHz at gain = +4 (RL = 100 Ω); enables >100 Mbps signal integrity in DSL line drivers. |
| Slew Rate | 450 V/μs (±6 V, full power); supports fast settling for video pulse signals and burst-mode PLC waveforms. |
| Output Current | ±550 mA (sourcing/sinking, RL = 100 Ω, ±6 V); drives 25–100 Ω lines directly without external buffers. |
| Noise Density | 3.5 nV/√Hz (100 kHz); preserves SNR in high-gain front-end stages of broadband receivers. |
| Power Modes | Four states (high/medium/low/standby) controlled by A0/A1; reduces ICC from 16 mA to 2.9 mA per op-amp. |
| Input Offset | ±4.5 mV max (±6 V, -40 to +85 °C); ensures DC accuracy in closed-loop video gain blocks. |
| THD+N | -66 dBc (2nd harmonic), -73 dBc (3rd harmonic) at 6 MHz; meets vDSL spectral mask requirements. |
Pinout & Package
TS617IDT is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (SO-14) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint, ECOPACK® lead-free finish, and 103 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14 | A0, A1 control inputs | Digital mode select: define per-amplifier power state (standby/low/medium/high) without software overhead. |
| 2, 3, 5, 6 | +IN1, –IN1, +IN2, –IN2 | Differential input pairs for two independent amplifiers; CMR ≥ 50 dB ensures noise rejection on noisy PLC lines. |
| 4, 13 | VCC–, VCC+ | Split supply rails; supports ±2.5 V to ±6 V operation - matches legacy analog front-end voltage domains. |
| 7, 12 | OUT1, OUT2 | High-current outputs; each capable of ±550 mA into 100 Ω with thermal foldback at Tj = 150 °C. |
| 8, 9, 10, 11 | NC | No-connect pins; electrically isolated to prevent parasitic coupling in high-frequency layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wideband operation | 200 MHz at gain = +4 ensures flat response up to Nyquist frequency of 100+ Mbps DSL signals. |
| Programmable power modes | Four discrete ICC states (2.9–16 mA/op-amp) enable system-level power budgeting in multi-channel modems. |
| High Z-out in standby | Outputs enter high-impedance state during power-down, allowing safe channel multiplexing without external switches. |
| Thermal shutdown | Automatic disable at Tj = 150 °C prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low-noise design | 3.5 nV/√Hz input noise minimizes degradation of SNR in cascaded gain stages of receiver chains. |
Applications
| Power Line Communication (PLC) | vDSL Line Driver |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband high-output-current op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Higher bandwidth (1.5 GHz), lower noise (0.92 nV/√Hz), but fixed 5 V single-supply only and no power-down mode. | Best suited for RF instrumentation where ultra-low noise dominates over power flexibility. | Select when bandwidth >500 MHz is required and thermal shutdown is managed externally. |
| ADA4870ARZ | Higher output current (1 A), wider supply range (±4 to ±20 V), but no digital power control and larger SOIC-16 package. | Ideal for industrial motor drive feedback or laser diode drivers needing >700 mA continuous current. | Choose when output current >600 mA is mandatory and A0/A1 programmability is not needed. |
Compared with LMH6629MA/NOPB, TS617IDT trades 1.3 GHz bandwidth for dual-supply flexibility, integrated thermal protection, and four-level power control - making it more suitable for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained DSL modems. Against ADA4870ARZ, TS617IDT offers smaller footprint, lower quiescent current in standby (65 µA), and guaranteed 200 MHz performance on 100 Ω loads.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the TS617IDT support?
The TS617IDT operates from ±2.5 V to ±6 V dual supplies, with full electrical specifications guaranteed across that range. It is tested at ±2.5 V and ±6 V in production, and absolute maximum rating is ±7 V per rail. Single-supply operation is not supported - the device requires true split-rail configuration for proper biasing of input and output stages.
How does the A0/A1 power-mode control work?
A0 and A1 are TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs that set one of four power states per amplifier: A1=0/A0=0 = standby (65 µA), A1=0/A0=1 = low power (2.9 mA), A1=1/A0=0 = medium power (10.5 mA), A1=1/A0=1 = high power (16 mA). Outputs go high-Z in standby, and transition times (ton/toff) are specified at 80 ns and 550 ns respectively.
Can TS617IDT drive 25 Ω loads reliably?
Yes - the TS617IDT is explicitly characterized into 25 Ω and 100 Ω loads. At ±6 V, it delivers ±5.1 V output swing into 100 Ω and ±1.68 V into 25 Ω, with 540 mA sink/source capability. Safe operating area (SOA) curves confirm continuous operation at 25 Ω with appropriate PCB copper pour and ambient temperature ≤ +70 °C.
Is TS617IDT still in active production?
No - STMicroelectronics has marked TS617IDT as obsolete (as noted in the November 2008 datasheet header). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers engineering support for last-time buy, redesign assistance, and drop-in alternatives with validated performance equivalence for existing designs.
