Description
The TS925 is a rail-to-rail quad BiCMOS
operational amplifier optimized and fully specified
for 3V and 5V operation.
High output current allows low load impedances to
be driven. An internal low impedance phantomground eliminates the need for an external
reference voltage or biasing arrangement.
The TS925 exhibits very low noise, low distortion
and high output current making this device an
excellent choice for high quality, low voltage or
battery operated audio/telecom systems.
The device is stable for capacitive loads up to
500pF. When the STANDBY mode is enabled, the
total consumption drops to 6µA (V

1. All voltage values, except differential voltage are with respect to network ground terminal.
2. Differential voltages are the non-inverting input terminal with respect to the inverting input terminal. If Vid > ±1V,
the maximum input current must not exceed ±1mA. In this case (Vid > ±1V) an input serie resistor must be
added to limit input current.
3. Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into pin of device.
4. Machine model ESD, a 200pF cap is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged directly into the IC with
no external series resistor (internal resistor < 5Ω), into pin to pin of device.
5. There is no short-circuit protection inside the device: short-circuits from the output to V
heating. The maximum output current is approximately 80mA, independent of the magnitude of Vcc. Destructive
dissipation can result from simultaneous short-circuits on all amplifiers.

3 Using the TS925 as a preamplifier and speaker
driver
The TS925 is an input/output rail-to-rail quad BiCMOS operational amplifier. It is able to operate
with low supply voltages (2.7V) and to drive low output loads such as 32Ω.
As an illustration of these features, the following technical note highlights many of the
advantages of the device in a global audio application.
3.1 Application circuit

shows two operators (A1, A4) used in a preamplifier configuration, and the two others
/2).
CC
Preamplifier
The operators A1 and A4 are wired with a non-inverting gain of respectively:
• A1# (R4/(R3+R17))
• A4# R6/R5
With the following values chosen:
• R4 = 22kΩ -R3=50Ω -R17=1.2kΩ
• R6 = 47kΩ -R5=1.2kΩ,
The gain of the preamplifier chain is therefore equal to 58dB.
Alternatively, the gain of A1 can be adjusted by choosing a JFET transistor Q1 instead of R17.
This JFET voltage controlled resistor arrangement forms an automatic level control (ALC)
circuit, useful in many microphone preamplifier applications. The mean rectified peak level of
the output signal envelope is used to control the preamplifier gain.
