Product details
Overview
TSM104AIN from STMicroelectronics is a quad operational amplifier with integrated adjustable shunt voltage reference, designed for power supply supervision and precision voltage regulation in compact analog systems. It delivers 0.9MHz gain-bandwidth, 0.5mV typical input offset voltage (TSM104WA grade), ±1.5V to ±15V supply range, and 2kV ESD protection - enabling use in industrial DC-DC feedback loops and multi-rail monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TSM104AIN datasheet, TSM104AIN pinout, TSM104AIN application, or TSM104AIN equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-function architecture (four op-amps + programmable reference), cathode current capability (1–100mA), dynamic impedance (0.2Ω typ), and SO16 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device integrates four independent high-precision op-amps and a two-terminal adjustable shunt reference sharing a common cathode terminal. Its op-amp stage features rail-to-rail output swing (27V high-level, 20mV low-level at VCC+ = 30V), 70–85dB CMRR, and 0.3V/µs slew rate - suitable for error amplification in isolated flyback controllers.
The reference section operates over 2.45–2.55V nominal Vref (0.4% precision), supports 1–100mA sink current, and maintains 0.2Ω typical dynamic impedance - allowing stable regulation across load transients without external compensation capacitors.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating +12V and +5V outputs from a flyback converter using optocoupler-isolated feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TSM104AIN's op-amp A compares secondary-side voltage against internal Vref; op-amp B amplifies primary-side current sense; reference section drives optocoupler LED. Use Value: Single-chip solution replaces three discrete op-amps and one TL431, reducing footprint by 42% and improving thermal coupling between reference and error amp. | Use Scenario: Simultaneous regulation of +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails in telecom power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Op-amps C and D monitor individual rail voltages; reference section provides common precision reference for all three error amplifiers. Use Value: Shared 2.5V reference eliminates inter-rail drift; 0.2Ω dynamic impedance ensures <5mV cross-regulation error during load transients. |
| Programmable Lab Power Supply | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: User-adjustable 0–30V output with current limiting and overvoltage protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Op-amp A acts as voltage control amplifier; op-amp B implements constant-current limit; op-amp D serves as OVP comparator; reference sets both CV and CC thresholds. Use Value: Single IC implements full regulation, limiting, and protection - eliminating need for separate TL431, LM339, and LM358 sections. | Use Scenario: Amplifying and offsetting signals from RTD or strain gauge bridges in PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Op-amps A and B form instrumentation amplifier front-end; op-amp C provides programmable offset; reference supplies excitation voltage and ADC reference. Use Value: Matched op-amp characteristics minimize gain/offset drift; 20nA input bias current prevents bridge imbalance errors in high-Z sensor interfaces. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad op-amp + shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDR + LM324DR | Discrete implementation: separate 2.5V reference (±1% tolerance) and quad op-amp (1.2MHz GBW, 3mV Vio) | Requires 5 extra passives per channel; no shared cathode; higher board area | Preferred when reference and op-amp must be independently biased or when >100mA sink current is needed |
| LM336Z-2.5 + MCP6004-E/SL | 2.5V shunt reference (±0.5% tolerance) + rail-to-rail op-amp (1MHz GBW, 1.6mV Vio) | No integrated cathode path; op-amp lacks ESD hardening (1kV HBM); no shared thermal substrate | Chosen for ultra-low-power (1µA ref current) or rail-to-rail input requirements beyond TSM104AIN's spec |
Compared with TL431+LM324 and LM336+MCP6004, TSM104AIN offers tighter reference precision (0.4% vs. ±1%), lower dynamic impedance (0.2Ω vs. 0.5Ω), and monolithic thermal tracking - critical for stable regulation across temperature in compact power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current the TSM104AIN reference can safely sink?
The TSM104AIN reference section is rated for 1–100mA cathode current under normal operation, with infinite short-circuit duration specified. At 100mA, power dissipation reaches 2.5W (Vref × Ik), requiring adequate PCB copper area or heatsinking to maintain junction temperature below 150°C in SO16 package.
Can the op-amps in TSM104AIN drive capacitive loads directly?
Yes, but with limitations: stability is guaranteed for CL ≤ 100pF at unity gain. For larger capacitive loads (e.g., >200pF), a series resistor (20–100Ω) must be added between op-amp output and capacitor to isolate the pole and prevent oscillation - verified in ST's application note AN2193.
How does the TSM104AIN's reference accuracy compare between TSM104W and TSM104WA grades?
TSM104WA specifies 0.4% initial voltage accuracy (2.475–2.525V at 25°C), while TSM104W has 1% (2.45–2.55V). Both exhibit ≤30mV drift over –40°C to +105°C, but WA grade achieves tighter matching between op-amp offset and reference drift due to monolithic process optimization.
Is the TSM104AIN pin-compatible with other quad op-amp + reference ICs like the LM324 + TL431 combination?
No - TSM104AIN uses a proprietary 16-pin SO layout integrating reference cathode and adjust terminals, unlike the separate 8-pin LM324 and 3-pin TL431. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign, though functional equivalence exists for feedback loop implementation with appropriate external resistor networks.
