Product details
Overview
TS971IDT from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-noise audio pre-amplification in battery-powered systems, featuring 4 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 0.003% THD at 1 kHz, and 12 MHz gain bandwidth product at ±2.5 V supply. It operates from 2.7 V to 10 V (single or dual supply), delivers ±2.4 V output swing into 2 kΩ load, and is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) in SO8 package.
For engineers reviewing the TS971IDT datasheet, TS971IDT pinout, TS971IDT application, or TS971IDT equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SO8 package terminal mapping, real-world audio and sensing use cases, and validated alternative op-amps with documented performance trade-offs in distortion, noise, and supply voltage range.
Technical Context
The TS971IDT employs a bipolar input stage with rail-to-rail output complementary push-pull stage, enabling full dynamic range utilization in low-voltage portable audio signal chains. Its phase margin remains ≥60° across 2.7–5 V supplies with 100 pF capacitive load, supporting stable unity-gain buffer configurations.
It achieves ultra-low distortion via internal trimming of input offset voltage (typ. 5 mV, max 7 mV over temperature) and bias current matching (Iib ≤ 750 nA), while maintaining 2.8–4 V/µs slew rate to preserve transient fidelity in headphone driver and sensor interface applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Input Voltage Noise | 4 nV/√Hz at 100 kHz - enables high-fidelity audio preamp stages without audible hiss in 24-bit ADC front-ends. |
| THD + N | 0.003 % at 1 kHz, RL = 10 kΩ - meets professional audio line-level signal integrity requirements. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 12 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥10 up to 1 MHz for anti-aliasing filter buffering. |
| Slew Rate | 4 V/µs - ensures <1% distortion on 1 VPP signals at 100 kHz without slewing-induced clipping. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and dual AA/AAA (3.0 V) battery rails. |

Pinout & Package
TS971IDT is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) plastic package (SO8), compliant with ECOPACK® environmental standards. The package measures 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm (max height) with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads for standard reflow soldering.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output | Rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible output capable of sourcing 1.5 mA and sinking 100 mA into resistive loads. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–) | Differential input node with 200–1000 nA bias current; requires matched trace impedance for low-noise PCB layout. |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input (+) | High-impedance input (Zin > 1012 Ω) referenced to common-mode range VDD + 1.15 V to VCC – 1.15 V. |
| 4 | VDD (Negative Supply) | Connect to ground (single supply) or negative rail (dual supply); supports operation down to –2.5 V. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or tied to ground per layout best practice. |
| 6 | VCC (Positive Supply) | Accepts 2.7–10 V; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for stability. |
| 7 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated; no routing or thermal coupling recommended. |
| 8 | Shutdown (SD) | Active-low digital control pin; pulls supply current to <1 µA when driven <0.8 V (VCC = 5 V). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise rail-to-rail output op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2771CDR | Lower GBP (2 MHz), higher noise (17 nV/√Hz), no shutdown pin, same SO8 footprint. | Not suitable for >100 kHz audio or precision sensor conditioning; acceptable for cost-sensitive DC-coupled buffers. | Select only if bandwidth <200 kHz and noise <20 nV/√Hz are acceptable; verify thermal derating at 125 °C. |
| OPA377AIDR | Higher GBP (10 MHz), lower noise (4.5 nV/√Hz), no shutdown, wider supply (2.2–5.5 V), SO8. | Lacks industrial temp rating (–40 °C to +125 °C); rated only to +125 °C but not tested below –40 °C. | Prefer for commercial audio designs where ambient temperature stays >–20 °C; avoid in automotive under-hood or outdoor industrial use. |
Compared with TLV2771CDR and OPA377AIDR, TS971IDT uniquely combines 12 MHz bandwidth, 4 nV/√Hz noise, shutdown capability, and full industrial temperature qualification in SO8 - making it the only choice for high-fidelity, battery-efficient, thermally robust portable audio and sensing systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TS971IDT can drive while maintaining stability?
The TS971IDT is characterized for stable operation with up to 100 pF capacitive load at unity gain, provided a 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor is placed within 5 mm of the VCC pin and PCB layout minimizes parasitic inductance. Driving >100 pF requires external series resistance (≥10 Ω) in the output path to isolate capacitance from the op-amp's output stage.
Does the TS971IDT require external compensation for unity-gain configuration?
No external compensation is required for unity-gain stable operation. The device features internal compensation optimized for ≥60° phase margin with 2 kΩ load and 100 pF capacitance at 2.7–5 V supply. Stability is maintained across its full –40 °C to +125 °C operating range without additional components.
Can the shutdown pin (Pin 8) be left floating in normal operation?
No - Pin 8 (SD) must be actively driven high (≥2.0 V at VCC = 5 V) to enable operation. Leaving it floating risks undefined state due to internal leakage; tie directly to VCC via a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor if shutdown functionality is unused.
Is the TS971IDT pin-compatible with other op-amps in SO8 package such as LM358 or MCP6002?
No - TS971IDT has unique pinout: Pin 8 is Shutdown (not NC), Pin 5 is NC (not output), and Pin 4 is VDD (not GND). Direct replacement would cause functional failure or damage. Board redesign is required to accommodate its dedicated shutdown and NC pin assignments.
