Product details
Overview
TSL6401ILT from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for high-bandwidth signal conditioning in low-voltage systems. It delivers 50 MHz gain bandwidth product, 30 V/µs slew rate, and operates from 2.2 V to 5.5 V supply - enabling precision analog front-ends in battery-powered medical sensors and industrial IoT nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TSL6401ILT datasheet, TSL6401ILT pinout, TSL6401ILT application, or TSL6401ILT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1 pA input bias current, -40 °C to +125 °C extended temperature range, rail-to-rail output swing, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TSL6401ILT uses a unity-gain-stable voltage-feedback architecture with a fully differential input stage supporting rail-to-rail common-mode input range (VCC− −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V). Its 50 MHz GBP enables stable operation at AV = 1 without external compensation.
It features internal ESD protection (2 kV HBM), 95 dB open-loop gain, and 90 dB CMRR over full operating temperature, making it suitable for high-accuracy DC-coupled amplification where input offset drift (2 µV/°C) and supply rejection (100 dB SVR) directly impact measurement fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 50 MHz - supports closed-loop bandwidth up to ~45 MHz at AV = 1 with phase margin ≥50° |
| Slew Rate | 30 V/µs - enables clean 10 MHz sine-wave output at 10 Vpp without distortion |
| Input Offset Voltage | 4.5 mV typ. - introduces ≤0.45% error in 1 V full-scale 10-bit ADC interface |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typ. - allows use with >10 MΩ sensor sources without significant voltage drop |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.2 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and 3.3 V/5 V logic domains |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Output Voltage Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers >99% of supply range at 10 kΩ load, minimizing headroom loss |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 surface-mount package with 1.27 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, and thermal resistance Rth-JA = 250 °C/W - suited for compact, thermally isolated analog sections.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Amplifier output | Drives loads down to 10 kΩ while maintaining rail-to-rail swing and stability |
| 2 VCC− | Negative supply | Reference node for dual-supply operation; tied to GND in single-supply configurations |
| 3 IN+ | Non-inverting input | Accepts signals from VCC− −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V - enables true single-supply sensor interfacing |
| 4 IN− | Inverting input | Supports precision feedback networks; matched to IN+ for low input offset |
| 5 VCC+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.2–5.5 V; internal regulation ensures consistent biasing across voltage range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Enables full dynamic range utilization in 3.3 V systems - no level-shifting required for ADC drivers |
| 50 MHz GBP | Permits high-speed active filtering (e.g., 2nd-order anti-aliasing at 5 MHz cutoff) without stability risk |
| 1 pA input bias current | Preserves signal integrity when amplifying high-impedance pH or photodiode sensors |
| Extended temperature range | Validated operation from -40 °C to +125 °C - eliminates derating in motor control feedback loops |
| Low 7.2 mA supply current | Supports always-on sensing nodes with <10 µA average current when duty-cycled |
Applications
| Medical Wearable Sensor Interface | Industrial Current Loop Receiver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-bandwidth, rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSV911ILT | Lower GBP (8 MHz), higher VOS (1.5 mV max), same SOT23-5 package | Better DC precision but insufficient bandwidth for >1 MHz signal chains | Select when offset and noise dominate over speed - e.g., precision instrumentation at <100 kHz |
| LMV321IDBVR | Higher supply current (110 µA), lower GBP (1 MHz), same pinout | Optimized for ultra-low-power, not high-speed - unsuitable for >100 kHz closed-loop designs | Choose only for sub-10 µA average current budgets where bandwidth is secondary |
Compared with TSV911ILT and LMV321IDBVR, the TSL6401ILT uniquely balances 50 MHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail operation, and 1 pA bias current in SOT23-5 - making it the only option among the three for high-fidelity, battery-operated sensor interfaces requiring both speed and input impedance integrity.

FAQ
Is the TSL6401ILT qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the TSL6401ILT is rated for -40 °C to +125 °C operation and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements. Its automotive-grade variant (TSL6401IYLT) undergoes additional screening per AEC-Q001/Q002, including advanced ESD and HTOL testing, making it suitable for cabin air quality sensors and body control modules.
Can the TSL6401ILT drive capacitive loads directly?
No - the TSL6401ILT is not unity-gain stable into capacitive loads >100 pF. For driving ADC inputs or cables, a small isolation resistor (10–50 Ω) must be placed between the output and capacitance to maintain phase margin ≥50°, as confirmed in DS14311 Section 3.2 AC performance characterization.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is 6 V, but continuous operation must remain within 2.2 V to 5.5 V per Table 5. Exceeding 5.5 V risks parametric shift and accelerated aging - ST specifies 5 V as the production screening voltage, ensuring full-range functionality only within the rated operating window.
Does the TSL6401ILT support dual-supply operation?
Yes - the device supports symmetric dual supplies (e.g., ±2.5 V) or asymmetric configurations (e.g., VCC+ = 5 V, VCC− = -1.8 V), provided total supply voltage does not exceed 6 V and common-mode input range remains within VCC− −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V, as defined in Table 5.
