Product details
Overview
TS942IPT from STMicroelectronics is a dual rail-to-rail output micropower operational amplifier in TSSOP-8 package, operating from 2.5 V to 10 V with 1.2 µA supply current per amplifier, 10 kHz gain bandwidth, and 1 pA typical input bias current. It targets ultra-low-power sensor signal conditioning in battery-powered smoke detectors and portable pH meters.
For engineers reviewing the TS942IPT datasheet, TS942IPT pinout, TS942IPT application, or TS942IPT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-chain support - all grounded in ST's Doc ID 6972 Rev 6.
Technical Context
The TS942IPT implements a CMOS-input, rail-to-rail output op-amp architecture optimized for single-supply operation across -40°C to +85°C. Its 1.2 µA quiescent current remains stable over 2.5–10 V supply range, enabling reliable performance at end-of-battery voltage.
It achieves 10 kHz gain-bandwidth product with 65° phase margin (CL = 50 pF), supports ±100 mV differential input, and delivers 2.85 V high-level output at 3 V supply into 10 kΩ load - critical for analog front-end accuracy in low-voltage sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1.2 µA per amplifier - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance pH electrode and gas sensor interfaces |
| Gain Bandwidth | 10 kHz - sufficient for DC–100 Hz sensor signal amplification without stability risk |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full dynamic range at 3 V supply, maximizing ADC utilization |
| CMRR | 85 dB typical - rejects common-mode noise in noisy industrial or automotive sensor environments |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM - ensures robustness during PCB handling and field deployment |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for use in fire alarm enclosures and outdoor portable instruments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package: 3 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.05 mm max height, lead-free ECOPACK® compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT A) | Amplifier A output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing; drives 10 kΩ load to within 150 mV of rails at 3 V |
| 2 (IN− A) | Inverting input A | Accepts differential signals up to ±VCC; 1 pA bias current minimizes error in high-Z sources |
| 3 (IN+ A) | Non-inverting input A | Common-mode range extends to VDD − 0.2 V and VCC − 1.3 V - supports single-supply sensor biasing |
| 4 (V−) | Negative supply / ground | Reference node for dual-supply operation or ground return in single-supply configurations |
| 5 (IN+ B) | Non-inverting input B | Independent channel input; identical CMR and bias specs as Channel A |
| 6 (IN− B) | Inverting input B | Supports differential or single-ended configuration for second sensor channel |
| 7 (OUT B) | Amplifier B output | Matched rail-to-rail performance to OUT A; enables dual-channel signal conditioning |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–10 V; supply current flat across range - simplifies power design across battery discharge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Enables full 0–3 V output swing at 3 V supply, maximizing resolution when interfacing to 10-bit ADCs |
| Micropower operation | 1.2 µA per amplifier allows continuous monitoring in battery-powered alarms with >5-year shelf life |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typical eliminates voltage drop across >1 GΩ pH probe electrodes, preserving measurement accuracy |
| Latch-up immunity | Class A rating ensures immunity to transient-induced latch-up in unregulated battery systems |
| Single-supply compatible | Operates down to 2.5 V with input common-mode range including ground - eliminates need for level-shifting |
Applications
| Smoke Detector Signal Conditioning | pH Meter Front-End Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying weak ion-current signals from electrochemical smoke sensors under 3 V coin-cell power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel op-amp providing low-noise, rail-to-rail gain stage before 12-bit SAR ADC sampling at 100 Hz. Use Value: 1.2 µA quiescent current extends detector battery life beyond EN 14604 requirements; 1 pA bias prevents drift in microamp-level sensor currents. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transimpedance amplifier converting nanoamp-level sensor current to voltage; dual channel supports CO and NO₂ simultaneously. Use Value: Stable 10 kHz GBW ensures accurate response to step changes in gas concentration; 85 dB CMRR rejects switching noise from integrated BLE radio. |
Use Scenario: Low-power analog front-end for temperature/humidity data loggers recording every 5 minutes on CR2032 battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual op-amp performing sensor excitation (constant-current source) and signal amplification in duty-cycled mode. Use Value: Supply current flat across 2.5–10 V allows direct connection to battery without regulation; latch-up immunity prevents failure during cold-temperature startup. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower rail-to-rail op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS942IDT | SO-8 package, same electrical specs, 125 °C/W RthJA vs. 120 °C/W for TSSOP-8 | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or higher thermal mass PCBs; larger footprint | Select when board space permits and manual soldering is required |
| MCP6022-E/SN | Higher supply current (100 µA), wider GBW (1 MHz), but same rail-to-rail output and 1 pA Iib | Suitable for higher-speed sensor interfaces (e.g., ultrasonic transducers), not ultra-low-power logging | Choose only if bandwidth >10 kHz is needed and battery life is secondary |
Compared with TS942IPT, TS942IDT offers identical performance in a larger SO-8 package for easier assembly, while MCP6022-E/SN trades 83× higher supply current for 100× greater bandwidth - making TS942IPT optimal for multi-year battery operation where speed is non-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for TS942IPT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is 12 V, but the device is characterized and guaranteed for operation between 2.5 V and 10 V. Operating above 10 V voids parametric guarantees and risks exceeding junction temperature limits due to increased power dissipation in the TSSOP-8 package.
Does TS942IPT support true rail-to-rail input?
No - TS942IPT 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 it cannot accept inputs within 1.3 V of the positive rail. This is typical for CMOS-input op-amps optimized for micropower.
Can TS942IPT drive a 10 kΩ load at 3 V supply?
Yes - at VCC = 3 V and RL = 10 kΩ, the typical high-level output voltage is 2.85 V and low-level is 150 mV, confirming rail-to-rail capability into that load. Output current capability is ±650 µA (sink/source) under those conditions.
Is TS942IPT qualified for automotive applications?
No - TS942IPT is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. ST does not recommend or warrant its use in automotive safety systems; for such applications, consider ST's TSZ12x or TSV91x automotive-grade op-amp families.
