Product details
Overview
TS974IDT from STMicroelectronics is a quad 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 supply. Used in professional audio circuits and portable instrumentation where signal fidelity and power efficiency are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TS974IDT datasheet, TS974IDT pinout, TS974IDT application, or TS974IDT equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SO14), confirmed rail-to-rail output swing (±2.4 V @ ±2.5 V), validated noise performance (4 nV/√Hz), real-world THD specification (0.003%), and documented thermal resistance (105 °C/W junction-to-ambient).
Technical Context
The TS974IDT integrates four independent high-dynamic-range op-amps on a single SO14 die, each featuring fully rail-to-rail output swing with ±2.4 V swing at ±2.5 V supplies. Its internal architecture supports stable unity-gain operation with ≥60° phase margin and 10 dB gain margin under 2 kΩ load and 100 pF capacitive loading.
Designed for dual-supply operation (±1.35 V minimum), it maintains 85 dB common-mode rejection and 70 dB supply voltage rejection across its 2.7–10 V operating range. Input bias current remains below 1 µA over -40°C to +125°C, enabling precision sensor interfacing without external compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad rail-to-rail output op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2464CDR | Higher input offset (2 mV typ vs. 1 mV typ), lower GBW (6.4 MHz), higher supply current (650 µA per amp) | Less suitable for low-distortion audio; better for ultra-low-power sensor nodes with relaxed speed needs | Select when supply current <700 µA is mandatory and THD >0.01% is acceptable |
| OPA4188AIPWR | Zero-drift architecture, 0.03 µV/°C drift, but higher noise (8.8 nV/√Hz), lower slew rate (0.8 V/µs) | Ideal for DC-precision applications (e.g., weigh scales); unsuitable for audio or fast transient response | Select when µV-level DC accuracy dominates over AC fidelity and speed |
Compared with TLV2464CDR and OPA4188AIPWR, TS974IDT uniquely balances low noise (4 nV/√Hz), low distortion (0.003%), high speed (12 MHz/4 V/µs), and rail-to-rail output - making it optimal for audio and wideband sensor signal chains where all four parameters matter simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TS974IDT can drive while maintaining stability?
The TS974IDT is characterized for stable operation with up to 100 pF capacitive load when driving a 2 kΩ resistive load, as confirmed by phase margin ≥60° and gain margin ≥10 dB in the datasheet's Figure 10 and Figure 11. For loads exceeding 100 pF, an isolation resistor (≥100 Ω) between output and capacitance is required to prevent peaking or oscillation.
Does the TS974IDT support single-supply operation?
Yes - the TS974IDT operates from a single 2.7 V to 10 V supply. Its input common-mode range extends to within 1.15 V of each rail (VDD + 1.15 V to VCC − 1.15 V), and output swings rail-to-rail. For single-supply use, bias the non-inverting inputs at mid-supply using a resistor divider or dedicated reference to enable full-swing AC coupling.
What is the thermal performance of the SO14 package under continuous operation?
The SO14 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 105 °C/W. At 2.8 mA supply current per amplifier (11.2 mA total), power dissipation is ~35 mW. This yields a worst-case junction temperature rise of 3.7°C above ambient - well within the 150°C absolute maximum, enabling reliable operation at 125°C ambient without forced airflow.
How does the TS974IDT's noise performance compare to standard CMOS op-amps in audio applications?
At 4 nV/√Hz, TS974IDT's voltage noise is 3× lower than typical CMOS quad op-amps (e.g., MCP6004: 28 nV/√Hz). This directly translates to >15 dB improvement in input-referred noise floor - critical for microphone preamplifiers where signal levels are sub-millivolt and noise dominates SNR. Its bipolar input stage enables this performance without sacrificing input bias current (≤1 µA).
