Product details
Overview
TS944AIPT from STMicroelectronics is a quad rail-to-rail output micropower operational amplifier in TSSOP-14 package, specified for 2.5 V to 10 V single-supply operation, featuring 1.2 µA supply current per amplifier, 10 kHz gain bandwidth product, and 1 pA typical input bias current. It targets ultra-low-power sensor signal conditioning in battery-powered smoke detectors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TS944AIPT datasheet, TS944AIPT pinout, TS944AIPT application, or TS944AIPT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated TSSOP-14 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in gas sensing and pH measurement, and technically documented alternative op-amps with offset voltage and supply current trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TS944AIPT integrates four independent CMOS-input op-amps with rail-to-rail output swing-achieving 2.85 V high-level output at 3 V supply with 10 kΩ load-and maintains constant 1.2 µA supply current across 2.5–10 V supply range. Its 1 pA input bias current enables high-impedance sensor interfacing without significant DC error.
It operates over -40°C to +85°C, supports common-mode input range from VDD−0.2 V to VCC−1.3 V, and delivers 65° phase margin with 50 pF capacitive load. ESD protection (2 kV HBM) and latch-up immunity (Class A) ensure robustness in portable industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1.2 µA per amplifier - enables >10-year battery life in 3 V coin-cell systems |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical - preserves accuracy when amplifying signals from high-Z pH electrodes or ion-selective sensors |
| Gain Bandwidth | 10 kHz - sufficient for DC–100 Hz sensor signal conditioning (e.g., CO detection, temperature transducers) |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full 0–3 V dynamic range at 3 V supply, maximizing ADC utilization |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5 mV max (TS944A grade) - low enough for 12-bit precision in 3 V systems without trimming |

Applications
| Smoke Detector Signal Chain | pH Meter Front-End |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying weak current from ionization chamber in battery-powered residential smoke alarms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad op-amp provides transimpedance gain, filtering, reference buffering, and comparator interface-all within one TSSOP-14. Use Value: 1.2 µA per amplifier extends 9 V alkaline battery life beyond 5 years; rail-to-rail output drives low-threshold comparators directly. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning mV-level output from glass pH electrode in portable field meters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage transducer amplifier with ultra-high input impedance and low offset drift. Use Value: 1 pA input bias current prevents >10 mV error across 100 MΩ electrode impedance; 7 µV/°C drift minimizes calibration frequency. |
| Portable Gas Sensor Node | Battery-Powered Instrumentation |
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing electrochemical CO or NO₂ sensors requiring stable bias and low-noise amplification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel signal conditioner: one amp for sensor biasing, another for current-to-voltage conversion. Use Value: Constant 1.2 µA supply current ensures predictable battery discharge even as voltage drops from 3.3 V to 2.5 V during end-of-life. |
Use Scenario: Multi-sensor data logger measuring temperature, humidity, and ambient light on a single PCB. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four independent amplifiers condition each sensor's analog output before multiplexed ADC sampling. Use Value: TSSOP-14 footprint saves >40% board area vs. four SO-8 op-amps; rail-to-rail swing avoids level-shifting circuitry. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS944IPT | Higher input offset voltage (10 mV max vs. 5 mV), same supply current and pinout | Suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements in alarm systems | Select TS944IPT for non-critical threshold detection where 10 mV offset is acceptable |
| TS944BIPT | Lower input offset voltage (2 mV max), identical micropower and rail-to-rail performance | Required for high-accuracy pH or medical sensor front-ends demanding <5 mV error budget | Choose TS944BIPT when offset drift and long-term stability are critical in calibrated instruments |
Compared with TS944AIPT, TS944IPT trades 5 mV lower offset for higher cost sensitivity in basic detection, while TS944BIPT delivers tighter offset control at no penalty to power or speed-making it optimal for metrology-grade portable devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for TS944AIPT?
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 safe junction temperature under load and voids guaranteed parametric performance. Thermal resistance (RthJA = 100 °C/W for TSSOP-14) limits continuous dissipation at elevated voltages.
Does TS944AIPT support true rail-to-rail input?
No-TS944AIPT 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 within 1.3 V of the positive rail. This limitation is inherent to its CMOS input stage architecture and must be accounted for in single-supply biasing networks.
Can TS944AIPT drive a 10 kΩ load at 3 V supply?
Yes-datasheet Figure 8 confirms 2.85 V high-level output (VOH) at 3 V supply with 10 kΩ load, and Figure 10 shows 200 mV low-level output (VOL) under the same conditions. Output current capability exceeds ±650 µA at 3 V, well above the 300 µA required for 10 kΩ across 3 V.
Is TS944AIPT qualified for automotive applications?
No-TS944AIPT is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. ST does not specify automotive-grade reliability testing, stress screening, or failure rate data for this part. For automotive use, ST recommends the TS944AIDT in SO-14 or automotive-qualified alternatives like TSZ124.
