Product details
Overview
TSV521ICT from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power, high-precision signal conditioning in automotive and portable systems. It delivers 1.15 MHz gain bandwidth at only 45 μA supply current (5 V), 800 μV max offset voltage, and operates from 2.7–5.5 V - enabling direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and high-impedance sensors in battery-powered automotive sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TSV521ICT datasheet, TSV521ICT pinout, TSV521ICT application, or TSV521ICT equivalent, this op amp is selected for low-noise analog front-ends where rail-to-rail operation, AEC-Q100 qualification, and stable performance across –40 °C to +125 °C are mandatory - especially in oxygen sensor signal chains, tire pressure monitoring systems, and portable medical ECG amplifiers.
Technical Context
The TSV521ICT employs a complementary PMOS/NMOS input stage enabling true rail-to-rail input common-mode range (VCC− −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V) without phase reversal, with dual-pair activation enhancing speed near mid-supply. Its unity-gain stability is verified with 100 pF capacitive load, supporting robust active filtering in noisy automotive environments.
It features 76 dB CMRR and 87 dB SVR at 5 V, 57 nV/√Hz input noise at 1 kHz, and 0.89 V/μs slew rate - balancing precision, speed, and power efficiency for DC-coupled sensor interfaces requiring <1 mV offset drift over temperature and <0.002% THD+N at 1 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1.15 MHz at 5 V - enables stable closed-loop gain up to 100× at 10 kHz for sensor amplification without instability. |
| Supply Current per Channel | 45 μA typ. at 5 V - extends battery life beyond 10 years in coin-cell-powered automotive modules. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 800 μV max at 25 °C - ensures ≤0.5% full-scale error in 16-bit ADC front-ends with ±2.5 V input range. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Input: VCC− −0.1 V to VCC+ +0.1 V; Output: within 35 mV of rails - maximizes dynamic range when interfacing with 3.3 V SAR ADCs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood automotive use without derating. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typ. - preserves signal integrity from >1 GΩ source impedances (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoresistive strain gauges). |
| THD+N | 0.002% at 1 kHz, 1 Vpp output - meets Class I audio and diagnostic-grade medical instrumentation requirements. |
Pinout & Package
TSV521ICT is housed in SC70-5 package (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs and portable devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN+ | Non-inverting input | Accepts rail-to-rail common-mode signals; bias current ≤1 pA minimizes voltage drop across high-Z sensor sources. |
| 2: IN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; supports unity-gain buffer or precision inverting amplifier configurations. |
| 3: OUT | Amplifier output | Drives loads down to 10 kΩ while staying within 35 mV of supply rails - compatible with 3.3 V logic thresholds. |
| 4: VCC− | Negative supply | Ground reference (0 V) in single-supply operation; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane for EMI immunity. |
| 5: VCC+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; internal regulation ensures stable biasing across automotive battery transients (e.g., load dump, cold crank). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40 °C to +125 °C) - certified for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules. |
| Rail-to-rail input/output | Full 0–5.5 V signal swing preserved - eliminates level-shifting circuitry in 3.3 V systems interfacing with 5 V sensors. |
| 1.15 MHz GBP / 45 μA | Merit factor of 25.6 kHz/μA - highest among AEC-Q100 op amps in SC70-5, enabling faster settling without compromising battery life. |
| 800 μV max Vio | Guaranteed over full temperature range - reduces need for factory calibration in production test of automotive pressure sensors. |
| Unity-gain stable with 100 pF | Enables direct driving of ADC input capacitance or long traces without external compensation - simplifies layout in compact modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSV631ICT | Lower min. supply (1.5 V), 0.85 MHz GBP, 22 μA ICC - trades bandwidth for lower voltage operation. | Better suited for single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) or energy-harvesting systems needing sub-2 V start-up. | Select when operating below 2.7 V is required; not AEC-Q100 qualified - avoid for automotive safety-critical functions. |
| LMV821IDBVR | Higher GBP (5.5 MHz), 130 μA ICC, 1.5 mV Vio max - prioritizes speed over power and precision. | Preferred for active filter stages requiring >100 kHz cutoff or fast-settling DAC buffers. | Choose only if bandwidth >2 MHz is mandatory; higher Vio and no AEC-Q100 make it unsuitable for calibrated automotive sensors. |
Compared with TSV631ICT and LMV821IDBVR, the TSV521ICT uniquely balances AEC-Q100 qualification, 1.15 MHz bandwidth, and sub-50 μA consumption - making it the sole option for automotive-grade, battery-operated precision amplification where all three attributes are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is TSV521ICT pin-compatible with other SC70-5 op amps like TS912 or MCP6001?
No - TSV521ICT uses a non-standard SC70-5 pinout: Pin 1 = IN+, Pin 2 = IN−, Pin 3 = OUT, Pin 4 = VCC−, Pin 5 = VCC+. TS912 and MCP6001 follow different assignments (e.g., VCC+ on Pin 5, VCC− absent or tied internally). Direct replacement requires PCB redesign or adapter routing.
Can TSV521ICT drive a 1000 pF capacitive load without oscillation?
No - the datasheet guarantees unity-gain stability only up to 100 pF. Driving 1000 pF requires an external series resistor (≥100 Ω, per Figure 29) between OUT and the load to isolate capacitance and restore phase margin. Bench validation is mandatory for final design.
What is the maximum allowable input differential voltage for TSV521ICT?
The absolute maximum differential input voltage is ±VCC (±5.5 V). However, sustained differential voltages >±0.7 V may cause increased input bias current and offset drift. For reliable operation, keep Vid ≤±0.5 V in precision applications - especially near temperature extremes.
Does TSV521ICT support single-supply operation with VCC− grounded?
Yes - VCC− is designed as the ground reference in single-supply configurations. With VCC− = 0 V and VCC+ = 2.7–5.5 V, the device achieves rail-to-rail input (0–5.5 V) and output (35 mV above 0 V and below VCC+), enabling seamless integration with 3.3 V microcontrollers and ADCs.
