Product details
Overview
TSU101RICT 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 at 25 °C, and operates across 1.5 V–5.5 V supply with –40 °C to 85 °C industrial temperature range-enabling multi-decade operation on coin-cell batteries in electrochemical gas sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TSU101RICT datasheet, TSU101RICT pinout, TSU101RICT application, or TSU101RICT equivalent, key selection criteria include sub-microamp quiescent current stability over voltage/temperature, rail-to-rail I/O swing at 1.5 V, low-frequency noise (8.1 µVpp, 0.1–10 Hz), and guaranteed phase-reversal-free operation in high-impedance sensing topologies.
Technical Context
The TSU101RICT employs complementary PMOS/NMOS input stages to achieve true rail-to-rail input common-mode range (VCC− −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V) without phase reversal-a critical requirement for direct connection to high-impedance UV, pyroelectric, or electrochemical transducers. Its 8 kHz GBP and 3 V/ms slew rate are intentionally limited to minimize current consumption while preserving stability with >1 MΩ source impedances and capacitive loads up to 60 pF.
DC precision is maintained via low input offset voltage (±3.4 mV over temperature), 5 µV/°C drift, and <0.36 µV/√month long-term drift at 3.3 V-enabling accurate DC-coupled amplification in battery-powered medical instrumentation and RFID reader front-ends where calibration intervals exceed years.
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 PIR or gas sensor nodes |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 8 kHz - sufficient for DC–100 Hz sensor signals (e.g., ECG, CO₂, UV intensity) with minimal power penalty |
| Input Bias Current | 2 pA max at 25 °C - preserves signal integrity from >1 GΩ source impedances (e.g., pH electrodes, photodiodes) |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | VICM = VCC− −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V; VOUT swing within 40 mV of rails - maximizes dynamic range at 1.5 V supply |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±3.4 mV over –40 °C to 85 °C - supports uncalibrated 12-bit ADC interfacing in portable metering |
| Low-Frequency Noise | 8.1 µVpp (0.1–10 Hz) - critical for stable baseline in electrochemical sensor amplifiers |
| EMI Rejection | 88 dB at 900 MHz - suppresses RF interference in wireless-connected environmental monitors |
Pinout & Package
TSU101RICT is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (SOT23-5 compatible footprint), optimized for space-constrained battery-powered PCBs. Pin assignment follows standard op-amp topology with dedicated power, input, and output terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor required within 1 mm for noise immunity |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Rail-to-rail capable; connects directly to high-Z sensor anodes or reference dividers |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Drives 100 kΩ loads within 40 mV of rails; stable with 60 pF capacitive load |
| 4 (VCC−) | Negative supply rail / ground | Must be tied to system ground; low-impedance return path essential for 2 pA bias current accuracy |
| 5 (IN−) | Inverting input | Phase-reversal-free; used for precision feedback networks in transimpedance or difference amplifiers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 580 nA typ. at 1.8 V - reduces battery drain to nanocoulombs per second in wake-up circuits |
| Rail-to-rail input stage | CMVR extends 0.1 V beyond rails - eliminates level-shifting ICs in single-supply 1.5 V systems |
| Phase-reversal immunity | Guaranteed no output inversion during input overdrive - prevents latch-up in PIR motion detectors |
| Low-frequency noise performance | 8.1 µVpp (0.1–10 Hz) - enables sub-ppm resolution in potentiostatic gas sensor interfaces |
| EMI robustness | 88 dB rejection at 900 MHz - maintains accuracy near GSM/Bluetooth antennas in portable readers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF | Zero-drift architecture; 1.5 µV max Vio vs. TSU101RICT's ±3.4 mV; 1.5 µA ICC vs. 580 nA | Higher precision DC measurement (e.g., medical thermistor bridges); unsuitable for >10-year coin-cell life | Select when Vio drift <0.05 µV/°C is mandatory and power budget allows 3× higher ICC |
| OPA316IDBVR | 100 µA ICC; 10 MHz GBP; 0.3 pA Iib - trades nanopower for speed and lower bias current | High-speed sensor sampling (e.g., ultrasonic time-of-flight); incompatible with multi-year battery operation | Select when bandwidth >100 kHz or sub-pA bias is required, and energy harvesting or rechargeable power is available |
Compared with LTC2050CS5#TRMPBF and OPA316IDBVR, TSU101RICT uniquely balances sub-microamp ICC, rail-to-rail operation at 1.5 V, and phase-reversal immunity-making it the only viable choice for decade-long, maintenance-free deployment in electrochemical and passive infrared sensing nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TSU101RICT can drive without instability?
The TSU101RICT remains unity-gain stable with up to 60 pF capacitive load when configured as a follower with 1 MΩ feedback resistor and 10 MΩ load resistance. For loads exceeding 60 pF, a series isolation resistor (Riso) of 1–10 kΩ is recommended per Figure 31 of DS9507 to maintain ≥60° phase margin and prevent peaking or oscillation.
Does the TSU101RICT support true single-supply operation down to 1.5 V?
Yes. The TSU101RICT operates fully specified from 1.5 V to 5.5 V, with rail-to-rail input extending 0.1 V beyond both supply rails and output swing within 40 mV of each rail at 1.5 V. All key parameters-including 580 nA ICC, 8 kHz GBP, and ±3.4 mV Vio-are guaranteed across this range and the full –40 °C to 85 °C temperature span.
How does the input bias current vary with common-mode voltage and temperature?
At 25 °C and mid-rail VICM (VCC/2), Iib is ≤2 pA. It rises to ≤30 pA at 85 °C and remains ≤4 pA at –40 °C. At low VICM (0 V), Iib increases to ≤10 pA at 85 °C; at high VICM (VCC), it reaches ≤30 pA. This behavior is documented in Figures 9–11 of DS9507 and confirms suitability for high-impedance sensor nodes where bias current must stay below 10 pA across operating conditions.
Can the TSU101RICT be used in transimpedance amplifier (TIA) configurations for photodiode sensing?
Yes-its 2 pA max input bias current, rail-to-rail input, and phase-reversal immunity make it ideal for TIA front-ends with photodiodes having leakage currents <10 pA. Stability is ensured with feedback resistors ≤10 MΩ and compensation capacitance ≥0.3 pF. The 8 kHz GBP limits usable bandwidth to ~16 Hz for 10 MΩ feedback, matching requirements of UV and pyroelectric sensors.
