Product details
Overview
TS972IDT from STMicroelectronics is a dual rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-noise audio pre-amplification in battery-powered systems. It delivers 4 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 0.003% THD at 1 kHz, 12 MHz gain bandwidth, 4 V/µs slew rate, and operates from 2.7 V to 10 V single supply (±2.5 V dual). It is used in portable audio front-ends requiring high fidelity and low power.
For engineers reviewing the TS972IDT datasheet, TS972IDT pinout, TS972IDT application, or TS972IDT equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output swing (±2.4 V @ ±2.5 V), ultra-low distortion for analog signal chains, thermal resistance (125 °C/W for SO8), ESD robustness (2 kV HBM), and compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts using SO8 footprint.
Technical Context
The TS972IDT integrates two independent high-speed op-amps with fully differential input stages and Class AB output stages enabling rail-to-rail output swing. Its internal architecture supports stable unity-gain operation with ≥60° phase margin and 10 dB gain margin across load conditions up to 2 kΩ with 100 pF capacitive load.
It features a common-mode input range of VDD + 1.15 V to VCC – 1.15 V, input offset voltage ≤5 mV (typ), and input bias current ≤750 nA (max) over –40 °C to +125 °C. Noise performance is specified at 4 nV/√Hz (100 kHz) and 250 fA/√Hz (1 kHz), supporting precision sensor and audio signal conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V single supply; enables direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V portable systems without level-shifting. |
| Output Swing | ±2.4 V at ±2.5 V supply; delivers full dynamic range into 2 kΩ loads, minimizing headroom loss in audio line drivers. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 4 nV/√Hz at 100 kHz; preserves SNR in microphone preamps and instrumentation amplifiers with gain >20. |
| THD+N | 0.003 % at 1 kHz, RL = 10 kΩ; meets CD-quality audio requirements without post-filtering. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 12 MHz typical; supports stable closed-loop gains up to 10× at 1 MHz for active filters and anti-aliasing stages. |
| Slew Rate | 4 V/µs; ensures faithful reproduction of 1 VPP signals up to 640 kHz without slewing distortion. |
| CMRR | 85 dB typical; rejects power-supply ripple and board-level interference in single-ended sensor interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
TS972IDT is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package (SO8), measuring 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and ECOPACK® RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; supports unity-gain inverter or transimpedance configurations. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (Amplifier A) | Accepts DC-biased or AC-coupled sensor signals; common-mode range extends within 1.15 V of rails. |
| 3 | Output (Amplifier A) | Rail-to-rail capable output driving up to 1.5 mA source / 100 mA sink; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
| 4 | VDD (Negative Supply) | Connect to ground (single supply) or negative rail (dual supply); must be bypassed with 100 nF ceramic capacitor. |
| 5 | Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Independent input for second channel; electrically isolated from Channel A except via shared supply pins. |
| 6 | Non-inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Supports differential pair configuration with Channel A when used as instrumentation amplifier front-end. |
| 7 | Output (Amplifier B) | Matches Channel A performance; allows stereo preamp or dual-channel signal conditioning on one die. |
| 8 | VCC (Positive Supply) | Primary power entry point; thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 125 °C/W - requires adequate copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full-scale signal amplitude into 2 kΩ loads without clipping, maximizing ADC input utilization in portable data loggers. |
| Ultra-low THD+N (0.003 %) | Enables high-fidelity audio signal paths in headphone drivers and line-out stages without harmonic compensation circuitry. |
| Very low input voltage noise (4 nV/√Hz) | Preserves signal integrity in low-level piezoelectric sensor interfaces where gain stages dominate system noise floor. |
| High slew rate (4 V/µs) | Supports wideband active filters (e.g., 2nd-order Butterworth at 200 kHz) without transient distortion or settling delay. |
| Latch-up immunity (Class A) | Guarantees robust operation during hot-plug events or supply sequencing faults in industrial handheld testers. |
Applications
| Portable Audio Preamp | Instrumentation Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying MEMS microphone output in Bluetooth earbuds before ADC sampling.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power, low-drift instrumentation amplifier stage with 2.7 V minimum supply support. Use Value: 2.7 V operation extends battery life in coin-cell powered sensors; 200–1000 nA input bias current avoids bridge imbalance errors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-noise op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2772CDR | Lower GBP (10 MHz), higher input bias current (1 pA), same rail-to-rail output, 5.5 V max supply. | Optimized for ultra-low power (1.2 mA/ch) but less suitable for >1 MHz audio filtering. | Select when supply voltage is limited to ≤5.5 V and quiescent current <1.5 mA is mandatory. |
| OPA2134PA | Higher noise (8 nV/√Hz), wider supply range (±18 V), JFET input (20 pA Iib), no rail-to-rail output. | Targeted at studio-grade audio with bipolar supply; lacks rail-to-rail swing needed for 3.3 V microcontroller interfacing. | Select only for dual-supply, high-voltage audio applications where output swing beyond ±2 V is required. |
Compared with TLV2772CDR and OPA2134PA, TS972IDT uniquely balances 4 nV/√Hz noise, rail-to-rail output at 2.7 V, and 12 MHz bandwidth - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated audio and precision analog systems where supply headroom is minimal.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TS972IDT can drive stably?
The TS972IDT maintains stability with up to 100 pF capacitive load when driving 2 kΩ resistive loads, as verified by phase margin ≥60° and gain margin ≥10 dB in the datasheet's characteristic curves (Figure 10–12). For loads exceeding 100 pF, external isolation resistor (≥10 Ω) is required between output and capacitance.
Does TS972IDT support single-supply operation below 3 V?
Yes - TS972IDT operates down to 2.7 V single supply (or ±1.35 V dual supply), with guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing and full specification compliance across –40 °C to +125 °C. At 2.7 V, output swing remains ≥±1.2 V into 2 kΩ, and THD stays ≤0.005 % at 1 kHz.
How does the ESD rating impact PCB layout for TS972IDT?
With 2 kV HBM ESD protection, TS972IDT requires standard ESD-aware layout: input traces must avoid long runs near connectors, all unused pins should be tied to VDD or VCC, and 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitors must be placed within 3 mm of each supply pin to maintain transient immunity during board handling and system operation.
Can TS972IDT replace TS972IPT in TSSOP8 footprint designs?
No - TS972IDT uses SO8 (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), while TS972IPT uses TSSOP8 (3.0 mm × 6.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch). The packages are mechanically incompatible; pad layout, solder stencil, and reflow profile differ significantly. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign or adapter board.
