Product details
Overview
TS942ID from STMicroelectronics is a dual rail-to-rail output micropower operational amplifier in SO-8 package, operating from 2.5 V to 10 V supply, consuming only 1.2 µA per amplifier, featuring 1 pA typical input bias current and 10 kHz gain bandwidth product - ideal for low-power sensor signal conditioning in smoke detectors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TS942ID datasheet, TS942ID pinout, TS942ID application, or TS942ID equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SO-8 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in battery-powered safety systems, and validated alternative op-amps with documented offset and drive capability differences.
Technical Context
The TS942ID integrates two independent CMOS-input op-amps with rail-to-rail output swing (e.g., 2.85 V at 3 V supply into 10 kΩ), enabling full dynamic range utilization in single-supply systems. Its ultra-low 1.2 µA supply current remains stable across 2.5–10 V supply voltage, supporting end-of-battery-life operation without performance degradation.
It achieves 85 dB common-mode rejection and 85 dB supply voltage rejection at 5 V, with 10 kHz unity-gain bandwidth and 3 V/ms minimum slew rate - optimized for DC-coupled, low-frequency precision amplification rather than high-speed signal processing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.5 V to 10 V - supports direct integration into 3 V and 5 V battery or regulated systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply current per amp | 1.2 µA typ. - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on sensing nodes. |
| Input bias current | 1 pA typ. - minimizes voltage error in high-impedance pH electrode or photodiode interfaces. |
| Gain bandwidth product | 10 kHz - sufficient for DC–1 kHz sensor signal amplification (e.g., CO gas sensor outputs). |
| Output swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full 0–3 V output range from 3 V supply, maximizing ADC input utilization. |
| Input offset voltage | 10 mV max (TS942) - sets baseline accuracy limit for untrimmed low-cost measurement front-ends. |
| CMRR / PSRR | 85 dB each - rejects noise from shared power rails and common-mode interference in compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
TS942ID is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint, 1.27 mm pitch, and 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm body size - compatible with automated SMT assembly and reflow profiles per J-STD-020.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting input of Amp A | Accepts feedback network connection for inverting configurations; high-impedance CMOS node. |
| 2 | Non-inverting input of Amp A | Connects to high-Z sensor sources (e.g., thermistor divider); 1 pA bias current avoids loading errors. |
| 3 | Output of Amp A | Drives 10 kΩ load rail-to-rail; capable of ±1.3 mA sink/source at 5 V for buffered DAC outputs. |
| 4 | VDD (negative supply / ground) | Reference for single-supply operation; must be low-impedance to maintain PSRR performance. |
| 5 | Inverting input of Amp B | Independent channel input; electrically isolated from Amp A except via shared supply pins. |
| 6 | Non-inverting input of Amp B | Enables dual-channel signal conditioning (e.g., differential sensor + reference buffer) in one package. |
| 7 | Output of Amp B | Matches Amp A output behavior; allows simultaneous processing of two analog signals with matched specs. |
| 8 | VCC (positive supply) | Accepts 2.5–10 V; supply current stable across range - simplifies design across varying battery states. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers 0 V to VCC output swing - eliminates need for negative supply in single-ended sensor interfaces. |
| Micropower operation | 1.2 µA per amplifier - enables >10-year battery life in wireless smoke detector standby mode. |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typical - preserves signal integrity when amplifying nanoamp-level currents from electrochemical sensors. |
| Latch-up immunity | Class A rated - withstands transient overvoltage events without destructive latch-up in industrial environments. |
| ESD protection | 2 kV HBM - provides robustness during handling and PCB assembly without external protection diodes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS942IPT | TSSOP8 package (4.4 × 3.0 mm), same electrical specs - 35% smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance (120 °C/W). | Better suited for space-constrained portable devices; requires tighter layout control for thermal stability. | Select when board area is critical and thermal load is light; verify solder reflow profile compatibility with TSSOP. |
| LMV358IDR | Higher supply current (80 µA), wider GBW (1 MHz), but 35 nA input bias - 35× higher than TS942ID. | Used where speed matters more than battery life; unsuitable for pA-level sensor interfacing. | Choose only if system requires >100 kHz bandwidth and can tolerate reduced battery runtime. |
Compared with TS942IPT, TS942ID offers superior thermal dissipation in SO-8 but occupies more PCB area; versus LMV358IDR, it trades bandwidth for 66× lower quiescent current and 35× lower input bias - making it irreplaceable in ultra-low-power, high-impedance sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for TS942ID?
The TS942ID is rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, with absolute maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 125°C/W in SO-8 package, so at 1.2 µA supply current and 5 V supply, self-heating is negligible (<0.1°C), ensuring reliable performance across the full industrial range.
Can TS942ID drive a 10 kΩ load rail-to-rail at 3 V supply?
Yes - the datasheet specifies VOH = 2.85 V and VOL = 0.15 V (max) at 3 V supply into 10 kΩ, confirming true rail-to-rail output swing. Output source/sink capability exceeds ±1.3 mA at 5 V, and remains functional down to ±0.3 mA at 3 V, fully meeting 10 kΩ load requirements with <1% error.
Is TS942ID pin-compatible with other dual op-amps in SO-8?
No - TS942ID follows standard SO-8 op-amp pinout (Amp A in+/in-/out, V–, Amp B in+/in-/out, V+), matching industry convention (e.g., LM358, TL072). However, its micropower biasing and rail-to-rail output differ electrically from non-rail-to-rail or higher-ICC parts, so functional replacement requires validation of quiescent current and output swing limits.
Does TS942ID require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No - the TS942ID is internally compensated for unity-gain stability, with 65° phase margin at 10 kHz (CL = 50 pF, RL = 1 MΩ). It drives capacitive loads up to 100 pF directly; for >100 pF, a small series resistor (10–50 Ω) at the output is recommended to prevent peaking, per Figure 14 in the datasheet.
