Product details
Overview
TSU104IQ4T from STMicroelectronics is a quad nanopower rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power sensor signal conditioning. It delivers 580 nA typical supply current per channel at 1.8 V, 8 kHz gain bandwidth, ±2 pA max input bias current, and operates across 1.5 V–5.5 V supply and –40 °C to 85 °C industrial temperature range - enabling direct use with coin-cell batteries in long-life portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TSU104IQ4T datasheet, TSU104IQ4T pinout, TSU104IQ4T application, or TSU104IQ4T equivalent, key selection criteria include sub-microamp quiescent current, rail-to-rail I/O swing at low voltage, input offset drift ≤5 µV/°C, unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 200 pF, and verified phase-reversal immunity in high-impedance sensor front-ends.
Technical Context
The TSU104IQ4T integrates four independent op-amp channels in a single QFN16 3×3 mm package, each featuring complementary PMOS/NMOS input stages enabling true rail-to-rail input common-mode range (VCC– −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V) and output swing within 40 mV of both rails. Its 8 kHz GBP and 60° phase margin ensure stable unity-gain operation without external compensation.
Designed for high-impedance DC-coupled sensing, it guarantees input bias current ≤2 pA (25 °C), CMRR ≥65 dB over full temperature range, and EMIRR ≥73 dB at 400 MHz - critical for reliable operation in noisy battery-powered environments such as gas detectors and medical biosensors.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSU114IPT | Lower VOS (±150 µV max), higher ICC (1.1 µA), same 8 kHz GBP | Better DC accuracy for precision medical analog front-ends; trades battery life for offset performance | Select when VOS drift <2 µV/°C is mandatory and 2× current budget is acceptable |
| LTC2050CMS8#PBF | Zero-drift architecture, VOS <1 µV, ICC = 1.1 mA - 2000× higher quiescent current | Required for µV-level strain gauge or thermocouple amplification; incompatible with coin-cell lifetime targets | Use only in line-powered or rechargeable systems where ultra-low offset outweighs power penalty |
Compared with TSU104IQ4T, TSU114IPT offers superior DC precision at modest current cost, while LTC2050 provides microvolt-level offset at unsustainable power levels for battery operation - making TSU104IQ4T the optimal balance for multi-year, single-cell sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the TSU104IQ4T can drive without instability?
The TSU104IQ4T remains unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 200 pF when configured as a voltage follower, as verified by phase margin ≥60° across –40 °C to 85 °C. For loads >200 pF, a series isolation resistor (RISO ≥1 kΩ) is recommended per Figure 31 of DS9507 to maintain stability without degrading bandwidth.
Does the TSU104IQ4T support true rail-to-rail output at 1.5 V supply?
Yes - the TSU104IQ4T delivers rail-to-rail output swing down to 1.5 V supply, with VOL ≤40 mV and VOH ≤40 mV drop from respective rails under 100 kΩ load, as specified in Tables 3–5 of DS9507. This enables full utilization of the 1.5 V headroom in CR2016/CR2025-powered designs.
How is input bias current affected by common-mode voltage at 85 °C?
At 85 °C and VCM = VCC/2, input bias current is ≤30 pA (max), rising to ≤10 pA at VCM = 0 V and ≤30 pA at VCM = VCC per Figure 9–11. This variation is fully characterized and does not compromise high-impedance sensor accuracy when VCM is held near mid-supply via proper biasing.
Can the NC pins (12 and 16) be connected to ground or VCC−?
Pins 12 and 16 are no-connect terminals with no internal connection. STMicroelectronics recommends leaving them unconnected or tying them to VCC− (ground) to improve mechanical reliability and reduce floating node susceptibility - but never to VCC+ or signal nets, as this may affect thermal pad soldering integrity.
