Compact 36-V Op Amp for Industrial and Automotive Applications

When it comes to designing electronic systems that require precision and flexibility, having the right components can make all the difference. One such component that is gaining attention in the industry is the TSB952 operational amplifier. With a wide supply-voltage range of 4.5- to 36-V, the TSB952 offers designers the flexibility to operate from diverse power sources, including industry-standard voltage rails. This not only provides design flexibility but also helps the system withstand large transient spikes and voltage drops, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of conditions.

Moreover, the TSB952 features rail-to-rail output swing, making it an ideal choice for applications that demand a wide dynamic range, such as signal conditioning for power supplies. This capability allows designers to achieve high precision and accuracy in their designs, enhancing overall system performance. Additionally, the TSB952 can operate in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial and automotive environments.

Looking ahead, ST is set to release AEC-Q101 qualified parts for automotive use later in 2024, further expanding the applicability of the TSB952 in automotive electronics. All TSB952 devices boast a 4 kV ESD tolerance (human body model) and are EMI hardened, ensuring robustness and reliability in demanding operating conditions. These features make the TSB952 a versatile and dependable choice for a wide range of applications.

From a packaging perspective, the TSB952 is available in an ultra-small 3- x 3-mm DFN8 package with wettable flanks, allowing for space-saving and cost-effective PCB designs. For those looking to upgrade existing designs, the TSB952 is also available in the popular SO8 package with standardized pin assignments, simplifying the transition to higher performance and efficiency. The availability of different package options makes it easier for designers to integrate the TSB952 into their projects seamlessly.

Currently, the industrial-grade versions of the TSB952 in DFN8 and SO8 packages are in production, catering to the needs of various industrial applications. For those in the automotive sector, the automotive-qualified TSB952 devices are expected to be available in Q3 2024, providing automotive designers with a reliable solution for their specific requirements. With its combination of performance, reliability, and versatility, the TSB952 op amp is set to make a significant impact in the world of electronic design.
