Product details
Overview
TS942IDT from STMicroelectronics is a dual rail-to-rail output micropower operational amplifier optimized for single-supply battery-powered systems. It delivers 1.2 µA supply current per amplifier, 10 kHz gain bandwidth product, 1 pA typical input bias current, and rail-to-rail output swing (e.g., 2.85 V at 3 V supply with 10 kΩ load), enabling precision signal conditioning in low-power smoke detectors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TS942IDT datasheet, TS942IDT pinout, TS942IDT application, or TS942IDT equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOT23-5 package details, real-world use cases in gas sensing and pH measurement, and validated alternative op-amps with documented offset voltage and supply current differences.
Technical Context
The TS942IDT integrates two independent CMOS-input op-amps in a single SOT23-5 package, each featuring ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typ) and rail-to-rail output stage capable of sourcing/sinking up to 1.5 mA at 5 V. Its constant 1.2 µA supply current across 2.5–10 V supply range ensures stable operation during battery discharge.
Designed for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation, it achieves 85 dB common-mode rejection ratio and 78 dB supply voltage rejection ratio at 5 V, supporting high-accuracy DC-coupled sensor interfaces where input offset drift (7 µV/°C) and low-noise amplification are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1.2 µA per amplifier - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in wireless sensors. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - preserves signal integrity when interfacing high-impedance pH electrodes or photodiode sensors. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 10 kHz - sufficient for DC to low-frequency sensor signal conditioning (e.g., thermistor, gas sensor outputs). |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings within 100 mV of rails at 3 V - maximizes dynamic range in 3 V microcontroller ADC front-ends. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 10 mV max (TS942) - supports <1% accuracy in 100 mV full-scale analog inputs without trimming. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 85 dB - rejects noise from shared ground paths in battery-powered alarm control panels. |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events in portable device assembly lines. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, 0.95 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | Accepts feedback or differential signal; high-impedance CMOS node (1 pA bias). |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | Connects to reference or sensor; immune to supply ripple due to 78 dB SVR. |
| 3 | Ground / Negative Supply | Reference for single-supply operation; must be low-impedance to avoid CMR degradation. |
| 4 | Output (Amplifier A) | Drives 10 kΩ loads to within 100 mV of rails; capable of 1.5 mA sink/source at 5 V. |
| 5 | Positive Supply | Accepts 2.5–10 V; supply current remains stable across this range for predictable battery life. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output stage | Delivers full 3 V output swing on 3 V supply - eliminates need for level-shifting in MCU ADC interfaces. |
| Micropower consumption | 1.2 µA per amplifier - reduces quiescent power by >95% vs. standard rail-to-rail op-amps (e.g., LMV358). |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typical - prevents voltage error in high-Z pH probe circuits (>1 GΩ source impedance). |
| Latch-up immunity (Class A) | Withstands 200 mA transient overcurrent - protects against short-circuit faults in smoke detector alarm drivers. |
| Single-supply operation | 2.5–10 V range - operates directly from alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable cells without regulation. |
Applications
| Smoke/Gas Detectors | pH Measurement Systems |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS942AIDT | 5 mV max input offset voltage (vs. 10 mV for TS942IDT); same 1.2 µA supply current and 1 pA bias current. | Preferred for pH meter front-ends requiring <0.5% DC accuracy without calibration. | Select when tighter initial offset is required and cost premium is acceptable. |
| TS942BIDT | 2 mV max input offset voltage; identical micropower and rail-to-rail performance. | Suitable for medical-grade portable sensors where offset stability dominates design margin. | Choose for highest DC precision in battery-constrained diagnostics equipment. |
Compared with TS942IDT, TS942AIDT and TS942BIDT offer progressively lower input offset voltage (5 mV and 2 mV max) while retaining identical micropower consumption, rail-to-rail output, and 1 pA input bias current - making them drop-in upgrades for applications demanding higher DC accuracy without changing supply or layout constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for TS942IDT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is 12 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 10 V. Operation above 10 V risks exceeding thermal limits in the SOT23-5 package, especially under load; sustained 12 V operation is not characterized and may degrade long-term reliability.
Does TS942IDT support dual-supply operation?
No - TS942IDT is specified only for single-supply operation from 2.5 V to 10 V, with input common-mode range extending from VDD − 0.2 V to VCC − 1.3 V. It lacks symmetric rail capability and is not characterized for split-supply configurations like ±2.5 V.
Can TS942IDT drive a 10 kΩ load rail-to-rail at 3 V?
Yes - at 3 V supply and 25°C, the output swings to 2.85 V (high) and 100 mV (low) into 10 kΩ, meeting rail-to-rail specification. Performance degrades slightly at temperature extremes: low-level output rises to 200 mV at +85°C, still usable for most 3 V ADC interfaces.
Is the TS942IDT pinout compatible with other SOT23-5 op-amps?
TS942IDT uses standard SOT23-5 pinout (1: In−, 2: In+, 3: GND, 4: Out, 5: VCC), matching industry convention. However, functional compatibility requires verification of input bias current, supply current, and output drive - e.g., while LMV721IDBVR shares the pinout, its 25 nA bias current makes it unsuitable for pH electrode interfaces.
