Product details
Overview
TS941BID from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel rail-to-rail output micropower operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power, single-supply operation (2.5 V to 10 V), featuring 1.2 µA typical supply current, 1 pA typical input bias current, and 10 kHz gain bandwidth product. It delivers rail-to-rail output swing (e.g., 2.85 V at 3 V with 10 kΩ load) and is qualified for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - ideal for battery-powered smoke detectors and portable pH meters.
For engineers reviewing the TS941BID datasheet, TS941BID pinout, TS941BID application, or TS941BID equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOT23-5 package details, real-world use scenarios in low-power sensing, and validated alternative options for offset-critical, micropower signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The TS941BID employs CMOS input stage architecture enabling ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typ.) and rail-to-rail output swing via complementary push-pull output stage. Its constant 1.2 µA supply current across 2.5–10 V supply ensures stable operation during battery voltage decay.
It achieves 2 mV max input offset voltage (B-grade), 7 µV/°C drift, and 85 dB common-mode rejection - enabling precision DC-coupled amplification in high-impedance sensor interfaces without external trimming or power cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1.2 µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered detectors |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-Z pH electrode and gas sensor front-ends |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV max (B-grade) - supports <1% error in 100 mV–1 V sensor output amplification |
| Gain Bandwidth | 10 kHz - sufficient for DC–1 kHz sensor signal conditioning (e.g., thermistor, CO sensor) |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full dynamic range at 3 V supply (2.85 V high / 0.1 V low @ 10 kΩ) |
| CMRR | 85 dB - rejects noise from shared ground in multi-sensor battery systems |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM - withstands handling in unshielded portable device assembly |
Pinout & Package

| 2 (−IN) | Inverting Input | High-impedance CMOS node; 1 pA bias current minimizes leakage error |
| 3 (V−) | Negative Supply / Ground | Connect to system ground in single-supply configuration (VDD = 0 V) |
| 4 (V+) | Positive Supply | Accepts 2.5–10 V; supply current remains stable across full range |

Applications
| Smoke/Gas Detector Front-End | pH Electrode Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying weak current output (nA–µA) from electrochemical CO or smoke ionization chambers into clean voltage for ADC sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary transimpedance amplifier with ultra-low input bias to prevent signal loss across high-value feedback resistors.

Use Scenario: Buffering and amplifying high-impedance mV-level output from glass pH electrodes in portable water quality testers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unity-gain buffer isolating electrode from ADC input; rail-to-rail output maximizes usable range at 3.3 V supply. Use Value: 2 mV max offset ensures <±0.03 pH error at 59 mV/pH slope; 1.2 µA current extends battery life beyond 2 years. |
| Battery-Powered Alarm System | Portable Gas Sensor Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage and sensor thresholds in wireless alarm panels powered by AA batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision comparator reference buffer and low-power supply monitor amplifier. Use Value: Stable 1.2 µA current across 2.5–10 V enables accurate end-of-life detection without supply-dependent calibration drift. |
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning for semiconductor metal-oxide (MOS) gas sensors requiring low-noise, low-drift amplification of resistance changes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential amplifier for bridge-based sensor configurations with rail-to-rail output swing. Use Value: 85 dB CMRR rejects common-mode noise from heater drive circuits; 10 kHz GBW supports fast response to gas concentration changes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower, rail-to-rail op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS941AID | 5 mV max input offset (A-grade vs. B-grade's 2 mV); otherwise identical specs and pinout | Higher offset tolerance acceptable in non-precision threshold detection (e.g., basic alarm triggers) | Select when 5 mV offset meets system accuracy requirements and cost optimization is prioritized |
| MCP6001T-I/OT | 1 µA supply current, 2.5 V–5.5 V range only, 100 nA input bias (vs. 1 pA), 1 MHz GBW | Not suitable for ultra-high-Z pH electrodes; better for higher-speed, lower-accuracy portable audio or logic interfacing | Choose only if wider bandwidth is required and input impedance >100 MΩ is not critical |
Compared with TS941AID, the TS941BID offers tighter offset control for precision analog front-ends; versus MCP6001T-I/OT, it delivers 1000× lower input bias for electrochemical sensors but trades off bandwidth - making it optimal for DC–1 kHz, battery-constrained measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for TS941BID?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is 12 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 10 V per the datasheet. Operation above 10 V risks exceeding thermal limits due to increased junction temperature, especially in SOT23-5 package where RthJA is 250 °C/W - sustained 12 V operation may exceed 150 °C junction limit under load.
Does TS941BID support true rail-to-rail input?
No - TS941BID features rail-to-rail *output* only. Its common-mode input voltage range is specified as VDD − 0.2 V to VCC − 1.3 V, meaning the inputs cannot swing to the positive rail. For example, at 3 V supply, valid input range is 0.1 V to 1.7 V - requiring external biasing for signals near VCC.
Can TS941BID drive a 10 kΩ load at 3 V supply?
Yes - the datasheet confirms 2.85 V high-level output and 0.1 V low-level output at 3 V supply with 10 kΩ load to VCC/2. Output source/sink capability is ≥650 µA, well above the 300 µA required for 3 V across 10 kΩ, ensuring full rail-to-rail swing remains intact under this load condition.
Is TS941BID suitable for pH electrode buffering?
Yes - its 1 pA typical input bias current and 2 mV max offset make it exceptionally well-suited for high-impedance pH electrodes (typically >1 GΩ). Unlike op-amps with nA-level bias, TS941BID avoids introducing significant offset or drift due to electrode leakage, preserving measurement accuracy in portable and handheld pH meters.
