Product details
Overview
TSU101ILT from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel nanopower rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-energy sensor signal conditioning. It delivers 580 nA typical supply current at 1.8 V, 8 kHz gain bandwidth, 2 pA max input bias current, and operates from 1.5 V to 5.5 V across –40 °C to +85 °C - enabling direct use with coin-cell batteries in PIR motion detectors and electrochemical gas sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TSU101ILT datasheet, TSU101ILT pinout, TSU101ILT application, or TSU101ILT equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world sensor interface design values, confirmed alternative op-amps with documented offset and bandwidth trade-offs, and supply-chain support for long-life battery-powered deployments.
Technical Context
The TSU101ILT uses complementary PMOS/NMOS input stages to achieve true rail-to-rail input operation (VICM = VCC– – 0.1 V to VCC+ + 0.1 V) without phase reversal, while maintaining unity-gain stability into 60 pF capacitive loads. Its 8 kHz GBP and 3 V/ms slew rate are calibrated for low-frequency precision amplification - not high-speed signal processing.
DC performance is characterized at three supply voltages (1.8 V, 3.3 V, 5 V), with input offset voltage tightly distributed (±3.4 mV over temperature) and long-term drift specified as 0.18 µV/√month at 25 °C - critical for unattended medical or environmental monitoring systems requiring decade-scale calibration stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 580 nA typ. at 1.8 V - enables >42-year coin-cell lifetime in always-on sensor nodes |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 8 kHz typ. - sufficient for DC–100 Hz sensor signals (e.g., PIR, pH, O2) with stable closed-loop gain |
| Input Bias Current | 2 pA max at 25 °C - preserves signal integrity from high-impedance sources (>1 GΩ) like photodiodes or reference electrodes |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Input range extends 0.1 V beyond rails; output swings within 40 mV of rails - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems |
| Operating Voltage | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to Li-MnO2 coin cells (2.0–3.3 V) and regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails |
| Temperature Range | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and outdoor metering applications without derating |
| Input Offset Drift | 5 µV/°C max - limits thermal error to <175 µV over full industrial range, easing system-level compensation |
Pinout & Package
TSU101ILT is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (ECOPACK2 compliant), with pin 1 marked by a dot or bevelled edge. The layout supports compact PCB placement and standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 2 mm for noise immunity |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance node (Zin > 1012 Ω); sensitive to EMI - guard ring recommended |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±5 mA drive; stable with ≤60 pF load - external Riso needed for larger capacitance |
| 4 (VCC–) | Negative supply rail / ground | Must be connected directly to PCB ground plane; shared return path affects PSRR |
| 5 (IN–) | Inverting input | Used for feedback networks; matched to IN+ in offset and bias current for precision configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 580 nA typ. at 1.8 V - reduces self-heating and extends battery life beyond 40 years in sleep-mode sensor nodes |
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Operates with inputs 0.1 V beyond supply rails - eliminates level-shifting circuitry for single-supply sensor interfaces |
| No phase reversal | Guaranteed under all common-mode conditions - prevents latch-up or erroneous output during power-up or rail transients |
| EMI robustness | 73–88 dB EMIRR at 400 MHz–2.4 GHz - maintains accuracy in RF-dense environments (e.g., smart meters near cellular modules) |
| Low-frequency noise | 8.1 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - minimizes baseline drift in DC-coupled medical instrumentation and gas sensor baselines |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSU111ILT | Lower VOS (150 µV max), higher ICC (900 nA), same GBP (8 kHz) | Better DC accuracy but 55% higher current - unsuitable for >15-year coin-cell life targets | Select when offset-limited precision outweighs battery life; verify thermal drift impact on calibration interval |
| LTC1540CS5#TRMPBF | Higher VOS (1.5 mV), lower ICC (600 nA), no rail-to-rail input | Requires input biasing network; limited common-mode range restricts single-supply sensor use | Choose only if existing design uses non-rail I/O topology and can tolerate 5× higher offset error |
Compared with TSU101ILT, TSU111ILT trades current efficiency for offset accuracy - making it viable for shorter-life, higher-precision instruments; LTC1540 requires external level-shifting and offers no rail-to-rail advantage, limiting its utility in modern ultra-low-voltage sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TSU101ILT can drive without instability?
The TSU101ILT remains unity-gain stable with up to 60 pF capacitive load at the output, as verified in the datasheet's phase margin vs. capacitive load plot (Figure 25). For loads exceeding 60 pF, a series isolation resistor (Riso) of 10–100 Ω is required - values are tabulated in Figure 31 based on load capacitance and supply voltage.
Can the TSU101ILT operate from a 1.2 V supply?
No. The absolute minimum supply voltage is 1.5 V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Table 1), and all electrical characteristics are guaranteed only from 1.5 V to 5.5 V. Operation below 1.5 V risks undefined behavior, including failure to power up or loss of rail-to-rail input functionality.
How does the input bias current change with common-mode voltage?
Input bias current varies significantly with common-mode voltage: at VCC = 3.3 V, it ranges from ~0.03 pA at mid-rail (1.65 V) to ~10 pA near the rails (0 V or 3.3 V), as shown in Figures 9–11. This behavior stems from the complementary input pair architecture and must be accounted for in high-impedance feedback networks.
Is the TSU101ILT suitable for driving ADC reference inputs?
Yes - its 40 mV output swing limitation near rails and low output impedance (<1 Ω at DC) make it well-suited for buffering precision ADC references. However, ensure the reference load capacitance stays ≤60 pF or add Riso; also verify that the 8 kHz GBP provides adequate settling for the ADC's acquisition time at target sampling rates.
