Product details
Overview
TS951IN from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel rail-to-rail input/output BiCMOS operational amplifier optimized for 3 V and 5 V supply operation, delivering 3 MHz gain-bandwidth, 1 V/µs slew rate, and 0.9 mA supply current at 3 V - ideal for low-power portable headphone driver and DAC buffer circuits in space-constrained industrial and medical systems.
For engineers reviewing the TS951IN datasheet, TS951IN pinout, TS951IN application, or TS951IN equivalent, this device supports rail-to-rail signal conditioning across 2.7–12 V supplies, features latch-up immunity and 80 dB supply voltage rejection, and is validated for automotive-grade variants (e.g., TS951IYLT) with AEC-Q100 qualification.
Technical Context
The TS951IN uses a BiCMOS process to achieve rail-to-rail input common-mode range (VDD − 0.2 V to VCC + 0.2 V) and rail-to-rail output swing (2.8 V high-level / 250 mV low-level at 3 V, RL = 600 Ω). Its 60° phase margin and 10 dB gain margin ensure stable unity-gain operation with capacitive loads up to 100 pF.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C, supports differential input voltages up to ±1 V (with current limiting required beyond that), and exhibits 2 µV/°C input offset drift and 25 nV/√Hz input noise at 1 kHz - enabling precision analog front-ends in battery-powered instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - supports single-supply operation from Li-ion (3.3 V) up to industrial 12 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 3 MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at audio frequencies (≤300 kHz) with adequate phase margin. |
| Slew Rate | 1 V/µs - delivers full-scale 2 Vpk-pk output at ≤500 kHz without distortion in unity-gain buffer configurations. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 6–8 mV (max) - suitable for DC-coupled sensor interfaces where sub-mV precision is not required. |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 0.9–1.3 mA at 3 V - enables multi-amplifier designs in portable systems with <5 mA total quiescent budget. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 50–80 dB - rejects noise on shared reference rails in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
| Output Short-Circuit Current | ±10 mA - drives 600 Ω loads (e.g., headphones) directly without external buffering. |
Pinout & Package
TS951IN is supplied in an 8-pin DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and 2.54 mm lead pitch - compatible with through-hole prototyping and legacy industrial control PCBs. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are tin-lead plated per RoHS exemption.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (−) | Accepts feedback network connection; referenced to VCC/2 in single-supply AC-coupled configurations. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (+) | Connects to sensor output or reference divider; rail-to-rail common-mode range allows direct 0–3.3 V signal interface. |
| 3 | Output | Delivers rail-to-rail swing; capable of sourcing/sinking ±10 mA into resistive or capacitive loads. |
| 4 | VCC− (Ground) | Reference node for single-supply operation; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection; left unconnected or tied to ground for mechanical stability only. |
| 7 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated; avoid routing signals adjacent to minimize crosstalk. |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; unused pin; no thermal or electrical function in TS951IN die configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Extends from VDD − 0.2 V to VCC + 0.2 V - enables direct interfacing with 0–3.3 V ADC outputs or DAC references without level shifters. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Drives within 250 mV of both rails at 3 V supply - maximizes dynamic range for 16-bit DAC buffers in portable audio. |
| Latch-up immunity | Rated for 200 mA - prevents destructive failure during power sequencing or ESD transients in industrial environments. |
| Low power consumption | 0.9 mA typical ICC at 3 V - allows integration of multiple amplifiers in battery-operated devices with >100-hour runtime. |
| High-speed performance | 3 MHz GBW and 1 V/µs slew rate - supports active filtering up to 100 kHz with <1% gain error in unity-gain configuration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-channel rail-to-rail op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS951ILT | SOT23-5 package (2.9 × 2.8 mm), same electrical specs, lower thermal resistance (RthJA = 250 °C/W). | Targeted for ultra-compact PCBs; requires reflow soldering and layout attention for thermal relief. | Select when board space is <5 mm² per amplifier and volume production supports SMT assembly. |
| LMV321IDBVR | Lower supply current (80 µA typ), but reduced GBW (1 MHz) and slew rate (0.75 V/µs); no AEC-Q100 variant. | Better for always-on sensor nodes; insufficient for audio or fast DAC buffering. | Choose only for sub-100 µA quiescent budgets where bandwidth <500 kHz is acceptable. |
Compared with TS951ILT, TS951IN offers through-hole manufacturability and higher thermal mass for lab prototypes, while LMV321IDBVR trades speed for ultra-low power - making TS951IN optimal for ruggedized, medium-speed analog signal paths requiring design flexibility and legacy compatibility.

FAQ
Is TS951IN pin-compatible with other TS95x variants like TS952ID?
No - TS951IN is a single-channel device in 8-pin DIP, while TS952ID is dual-channel in SO8. Pin functions differ: TS951IN uses pins 1–5 for inverting input, non-inverting input, output, ground, and VCC, whereas TS952ID allocates separate input/output pairs for two amplifiers. Direct replacement requires schematic and layout redesign.
Can TS951IN operate from a single 2.7 V supply with rail-to-rail output?
Yes - it guarantees rail-to-rail output swing down to 250 mV above ground and within 200 mV of VCC at 2.7 V, with 0.9 mA supply current and 3 MHz GBW. Output drive capability remains ±10 mA, enabling direct 32 Ω headphone driving without external boost stages.
What is the maximum capacitive load TS951IN can drive stably?
TS951IN maintains 60° phase margin and 10 dB gain margin with up to 100 pF capacitive load when configured as a unity-gain buffer (RL = 600 Ω), per DS1256 Rev 13 characterization. For loads >100 pF, a series isolation resistor (≥10 Ω) is required to preserve stability.
Does TS951IN have automotive-grade qualification?
No - TS951IN is an industrial-grade part rated for −40 °C to +125 °C, but lacks AEC-Q100 certification. For automotive applications, ST offers TS951IYLT (SOT23-5) and TS951RIYLT, both qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and screened per AEC-Q001/Q002.
