STMicroelectronics recently unveiled the TSB952 dual operational amplifier (op amp), designed for industrial and automotive applications. This new op amp offers a high gain-bandwidth of 52 MHz and a low supply current of just 3.3 mA per channel at 36 V, making it ideal for power-conscious designs.
One of the key features of the TSB952 is its wide supply-voltage range of 4.5V to 36V, providing flexibility in design and allowing it to operate from a variety of power sources, including industry-standard voltage rails. This wide supply range also helps the system tolerate large transient spikes and voltage drops, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.
Additionally, the op amp features rail-to-rail output swing, making it suitable for applications that require a wide dynamic range, such as signal conditioning for power supplies. The TSB952 can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C, enabling its use in both industrial and automotive settings. STMicroelectronics plans to release AEC-Q101 qualified parts for automotive applications later in 2024.
All TSB952 devices come with 4 kV ESD tolerance (human body model) and are EMI hardened, ensuring robustness and reliability. The op amp is available in an ultra-small 3 x 3-mm DFN8 package with wettable flanks, saving space and enabling cost-effective PCB designs. It is also offered in the popular SO8 package with standardized pin assignments, making it easy to upgrade existing designs for improved performance and efficiency.
The industrial-grade versions of the TSB952 in DFN8 and SO8 packages are already in production, while the automotive-qualified devices are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2024. This new op amp from STMicroelectronics promises to deliver high performance and versatility for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.
