Product details
Overview
TS912IN from STMicroelectronics is a rail-to-rail input/output CMOS dual operational amplifier operating from 2.7 V to 16 V single supply (or ±13.5 V dual supply), delivering 200 μA/amplifier supply current at 3 V, 2 mV max input offset voltage (TS912B grade), and 1 pA typical input bias current. It drives 600 Ω loads with rail-to-rail output swing within 40 mV of rails and supports precision sensor signal conditioning in industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C).
For engineers reviewing the TS912IN datasheet, TS912IN pinout, TS912IN application, or TS912IN equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world load-driving capability (600 Ω/100 Ω), rail-to-rail I/O behavior, low-noise (30 nV/√Hz) performance, and validated alternatives for low-power precision dual op-amp selection.
Technical Context
The TS912IN implements a CMOS input stage with 1 pA typical bias current and rail-to-rail common-mode input range (VCC− −0.2 V to VCC+ +0.2 V). Its output stage delivers 40 mA sink/source current (at 3 V) with internal current limiting, enabling direct drive of moderate loads without external buffers.
It features 0.8–1.4 MHz gain-bandwidth product (dependent on supply and load), 30–40° phase margin, and 0.3–1.3 V/μs slew rate (depending on supply and signal swing), optimized for stability with capacitive loads up to 100 pF and resistive loads down to 100 Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 16 V single supply - supports battery-powered and wide-input industrial systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 2 mV (TS912B grade) - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification in 12-bit ADC front-ends. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 1 pA - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity (e.g., pH electrodes, photodiodes). |
| Supply Current per Amp | 200 μA at VCC = 3 V - allows dual-channel operation in ultra-low-power portable instrumentation. |
| Output Swing (RL = 600 Ω) | VCC− +300 mV / VCC+ −400 mV - delivers full dynamic range into low-impedance transducers or DAC buffers. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.4 MHz at VCC = 10 V, RL = 10 kΩ - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters and sensor signal bandwidths ≤100 kHz. |
| Input Noise Voltage | 30 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - suitable for low-frequency precision amplification without dominant noise contribution. |
Pinout & Package
DIP8 plastic package (10.16 mm × 7.11 mm body, 2.54 mm lead pitch), through-hole mounting, RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance CMOS node accepting differential signal; referenced to common-mode range spanning both rails. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance CMOS node; matched to Pin 1 for low input offset and drift. |
| 3 | Output (Amplifier A) | Rail-to-rail capable output driving up to 40 mA; limited by internal circuitry to prevent thermal runaway. |
| 4 | Positive Supply (VCC+) | Accepts 2.7–16 V; powers both amplifiers and internal bias networks. |
| 5 | Negative Supply (VCC−) | Ground reference in single-supply mode; accepts negative voltage down to −16 V in dual-supply configuration. |
| 6 | Non-inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Independent high-Z input identical in specs to Pin 2; enables dual-channel signal processing. |
| 7 | Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Independent high-Z input identical in specs to Pin 1; maintains channel separation >120 dB at 1 kHz. |
| 8 | Output (Amplifier B) | Independent rail-to-rail output identical in drive strength and swing to Pin 3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Linearizing and scaling RTD (Pt100) signals in 4–20 mA loop-powered transmitters operating from 12 V supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision current source driver and signal conditioner - one amp configures constant-current excitation, the other performs ratiometric amplification. Use Value: 2.7–16 V supply range matches loop-powered constraints; −40 °C to +125 °C rating ensures reliability in harsh enclosures. | Use Scenario: Buffering and filtering multiple 0–10 V analog inputs in modular PLC backplanes with shared 24 V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input protection and unity-gain buffer per channel, leveraging dual topology to reduce component count per channel. Use Value: 600 Ω load specification guarantees stable operation into downstream multiplexer inputs; latch-up immunity prevents system lockup during EFT events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual rail-to-rail CMOS op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS912ID | SO-8 package, same electrical specs and temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C); no DIP8 footprint. | Required for surface-mount production; lacks through-hole mechanical robustness for high-vibration test fixtures. | Select when board space or automated assembly mandates SO-8; verify PCB thermal relief for 125 °C ambient operation. |
| TS562IDT | Lower Vos (150 μV max), higher GBP (1.8 MHz), but higher supply current (450 μA/amp at 3 V) and narrower supply range (2.7–5.5 V). | Suitable only for low-voltage, high-accuracy applications; incompatible with 12 V or 16 V industrial supplies. | Choose only if sub-mV offset and >1 MHz bandwidth are mandatory and supply is strictly ≤5.5 V. |
Compared with TS912ID, TS912IN offers identical analog performance in a through-hole DIP8 package ideal for prototyping and ruggedized industrial modules, while TS562IDT trades power efficiency and supply flexibility for enhanced DC precision and speed in compact low-voltage designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TS912IN can drive stably?
The TS912IN is characterized for stability with up to 100 pF capacitive load in unity-gain configuration, as confirmed by phase margin measurements (≥30° at 3–10 V supply). Driving larger capacitances requires isolation resistance or gain compensation per Figure 8–13 in the datasheet; no internal compensation is provided for >100 pF.
Does TS912IN support true dual-supply operation with negative voltage on Pin 5?
Yes - Pin 5 (VCC−) accepts voltages down to −16 V per absolute maximum ratings, enabling true dual-supply operation (e.g., ±5 V, ±12 V). The input common-mode range extends 0.2 V beyond both rails, and output swing remains rail-to-rail relative to the applied supplies.
How does the 600 Ω load specification impact PCB layout?
The 600 Ω load rating means the output can sustain 40 mA sink/source current without exceeding thermal limits or distorting linearity. Layout must minimize trace inductance and ensure adequate copper area for heat dissipation - especially critical at 125 °C ambient - and avoid routing sensitive analog traces near high-current output paths.
Is the TS912IN qualified for automotive applications?
No - TS912IN is rated for industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, ST offers the TS912IYDT variant (listed in Table 8), which undergoes additional screening and is marked "912IY" on package.
