TS972IQT - Dual 12MHz Low-Noise Op Amp | STMicroelectronics
Référence : TS972IQT ✓ ActifTS972IQT Présentation
An operational amplifier is a high-gain analog building block used to amplify small voltage signals, buffer sensors, perform active filtering, and provide feedback control. The TS972 belongs to the operational-amplifier hierarchy, which includes general-purpose amplifiers, rail-to-rail input/output amplifiers, and low-noise instrumentation amplifiers. Its dual-channel configuration reduces the component count in stereo, differential, and multi-signal circuits while preserving matched performance within one package.
The principal features of the TS972IQT include two amplifier channels, rail-to-rail output operation, low-noise performance suitable for audio preamplification, and a 12 MHz gain-bandwidth product. The 2.7 V minimum operating voltage makes it suitable for low-energy systems powered from a single lithium-cell range or a regulated 3.3 V rail. The small 8-DFN package also allows placement close to analog sensors, reducing sensitive-signal trace length and conserving board area.
Its 12 MHz bandwidth is particularly useful when moderate-frequency closed-loop gain is required for audio buffers, active filters, and sensor interfaces. Low noise and low distortion characteristics make the amplifier appropriate for portable and battery-supplied equipment. Because the device is not limited to a high-voltage industrial rail, designers can use one amplifier family across 3 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without changing the package footprint.
Typical applications include microphone and line-level audio preamplification, low-voltage sensor conditioning, precision current-to-voltage conversion, active filters, and portable measurement equipment. Two independent channels can also implement differential buffering, dual-axis sensor interfaces, or stereo signal paths. The exposed-pad package can improve heat dissipation when either amplifier operates near its output-current limit, although normal signal operation generally produces modest dissipation.
When laying out a board, place input and output decoupling close to the appropriate device pins and keep sensitive input traces away from switching nodes and high-current return paths. Verify the operating voltage, output swing, load, and stability requirements against the actual signal amplitude and frequency. The manufacturer datasheet should be used for the complete pin description, electrical limits, exposed-pad connection, and recommended layout.

Applications typiques
TS972IQT convient pour 6 applications: Portable Audio Preamplification, Low-Voltage Sensor Conditioning, Precision Current-to-Voltage Conversion, Active Audio Filtering, Portable Test and Measurement, Industrial Control Signal Interface.
Portable Audio Preamplification
The TS972IQT fits stereo and dual-channel audio preamplification because it combines two very-low-noise amplifier circuits with a 12 MHz gain-bandwidth product in a compact 8-DFN package. The two channels can process left and right inputs while preserving low distortion through the signal path. Its 2.7 V to 10 V supply range supports portable and battery-operated equipment operated from a regulated 3 V or 3.3 V rail. Place the device close to the audio input stage, keep input traces short, and confirm the required gain, output swing, and load against the manufacturer limits.
Recommandé
Low-Voltage Sensor Conditioning
The TS972IQT is suitable for conditioning low-level sensor signals in compact 3 V and 3.3 V systems because each channel provides a 12 MHz gain-bandwidth product while the dual package limits board area. The amplifier can buffer a sensor, implement an active gain stage, or form part of a low-pass filter when its noise and stability characteristics suit the operating frequency. Keep sensitive input routing away from switching converters and motor returns, and use the manufacturer input common-mode limits to establish the usable signal range.
Recommandé
Precision Current-to-Voltage Conversion
The TS972IQT can implement a dual-channel current-to-voltage conversion stage around a matched feedback resistor, with its 12 MHz bandwidth providing margin above the bandwidth of many moderate-speed current measurements. Its low-noise architecture helps preserve small sensor currents during amplification, while rail-to-rail output increases the usable measurement range within a compact 3.3 V system. The input and feedback network must be selected for the target transimpedance, and the complete circuit must be checked for stability, common-mode limits, and output saturation.
Recommandé
Active Audio Filtering
The TS972IQT is appropriate for active filtering around audio and communication signals because its 12 MHz gain-bandwidth product is substantially higher than that of a basic low-frequency op amp. Two channels can implement a stereo filter or separate filters for different channels, reducing component count and helping maintain matched behavior. Select resistor and capacitor values against the device gain-bandwidth and noise characteristics, and verify stability with the actual source and load impedances rather than relying only on nominal bandwidth.
Recommandé
Portable Test and Measurement
The TS972IQT suits portable measurement equipment that needs two low-noise analog channels in a compact footprint. One channel can buffer the input under test while the other handles a reference, monitor, or auxiliary signal, and the 12 MHz bandwidth supports more demanding signal conditioning than a precision-only amplifier. Its 3.3 V-compatible operation reduces system complexity, while the 8-DFN package preserves space for display, controls, and isolated measurement circuitry. Validate offset, noise, common-mode range, and output drive for the selected gain configuration.
Recommandé
Industrial Control Signal Interface
The dual TS972IQT can interface low-voltage control signals to a controller or condition sensor outputs in compact industrial equipment. Its rail-to-rail output improves utilization of a 3.3 V or 5 V signal range, and the 12 MHz gain-bandwidth product provides useful bandwidth for moderately fast control and monitoring signals. The two channels can process related inputs or form a differential receiver when appropriately configured. Confirm industrial temperature requirements, input common-mode behavior, and grounding before using the device in safety-critical or long-lived installations.

- Low-noise operation for audio and sensor paths (vs TS972IYPT)
Notes de conception
Route each amplifier input directly to its device pin and keep the loop around the input and feedback components as small as practical. Place bypass and decoupling capacitors close to the supply pins, with their return paths using the quietest available ground reference. The 3 x 3 mm DFN package leaves little room for long escape routing, so assign pins and the exposed-pad connection before finalizing the surrounding schematic.
Use short, continuous ground references for both input and output paths, particularly when the TS972IQT is processing microphone, sensor, or high-impedance signals. Keep the device away from switching-node copper and high-current return paths. Verify common-mode voltage and output swing in the actual system because rail-to-rail output does not imply that the input accepts every voltage across the full supply range.
Follow the manufacturer guidance for the DFN exposed pad, including its PCB land pattern and thermal-via arrangement. Although normal low-voltage signal operation usually creates limited heat, a sustained output load or accidental output saturation can increase dissipation. Check the output-current limit, operating temperature, and ambient conditions before treating the small package as having unlimited thermal capacity.
Do not substitute the TS972 solely because another TS97x member uses a similar amplifier topology. Confirm the exact package, pinout, exposed-pad treatment, supply limits, temperature grade, input offset, noise, bandwidth, and stability requirements. Likewise, verify that rail-to-rail output satisfies the signal swing requirement; a low-noise amplifier can still become nonlinear if the output approaches its allowed range.
Informations de conformité
No explicit product-specific compliance statement appears in the cited catalog references. The TS972IQT is a general-purpose operational amplifier rather than an automotive-qualified device.
