Product details
Overview
THS3061DGN from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, high-voltage current-feedback amplifier optimized for low-distortion, high-slew-rate signal conditioning in video, line driver, and high-speed ADC preamplifier applications. It delivers 7000 V/μs slew rate at ±15 V supply, 300 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, –81 dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion at 10 MHz (G = 2, RL = 150 Ω), and ±145 mA output drive into 50 Ω.
For engineers reviewing the THS3061DGN datasheet, THS3061DGN pinout, THS3061DGN application, or THS3061DGN equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package details, thermal design guidance, and validated alternative options for high-fidelity analog signal paths requiring >100 MHz flat bandwidth and <0.3 dB peaking.
Technical Context
The THS3061DGN employs a current-feedback architecture with BiCOM-1 bipolar process, enabling gain-independent bandwidth control via feedback resistor selection (e.g., 560 Ω for G = 2, 357 Ω for G = 5). Its transimpedance gain of 0.6–1 MΩ supports fast settling (125 ns to 0.01% for 2-V step) and low closed-loop output impedance (0.1 Ω at 1 MHz).
Designed for ±5 V to ±15 V dual-supply operation, it maintains 120 MHz 0.1-dB flat bandwidth at G = 2 and achieves –79 dBc 3rd-harmonic distortion at 10 MHz under ±5 V supply-enabling flexible deployment across industrial, test equipment, and broadband communication systems without sacrificing linearity.

Pinout & Package
The THS3061DGN is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad (DGN suffix), requiring solder connection to a PCB copper plane for thermal management. Package thermal resistance is θJA = 58.4°C/W and θJC = 4.7°C/W.

| 3 | VIN+ | Noninverting input terminal; high-impedance node (518 kΩ) with 1 pF capacitance. |
| 4 | VS− | Negative supply rail; connects to –5 V to –15 V; requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated; avoid routing signals underneath. |
| 6 | VS+ | Positive supply rail; connects to +5 V to +15 V; requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3091DR | Higher slew rate (8500 V/μs), lower distortion (–85 dBc HD3 @ 10 MHz), but limited to ±12 V max supply. | Better suited for repetitive high-frequency sine/square wave generation where THS3061DGN's 900 V/μs repetitive limit applies. | Select THS3091DR when operating exclusively at ±12 V and requiring lowest possible distortion below 20 MHz. |
| OPA691IDBVR | Wider supply range (±5 V to ±6 V single-ended), lower quiescent current (6.5 mA), but reduced output drive (±350 mA into 100 Ω only). | Optimized for portable/battery-powered test gear needing lower power and moderate drive capability. | Choose OPA691IDBVR for space-constrained designs requiring 5-V single-supply operation and <7 mA IQ. |
Compared with THS3061DGN, THS3091DR offers superior distortion performance at ±12 V but lacks ±15 V compatibility, while OPA691IDBVR enables 5-V single-supply use with lower power draw but trades off voltage headroom and load drive strength.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for THS3061DGN?
The THS3061DGN has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±16.5 V. For reliable long-term operation, TI specifies a recommended operating range of ±5 V to ±15 V. Exceeding ±15 V risks exceeding the 125°C junction temperature limit even with proper PowerPAD™ thermal management, especially under high output current conditions.
Does THS3061DGN require external compensation capacitors?
No, the THS3061DGN is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and exhibits <0.3 dB peaking at G = 1. External compensation is unnecessary for standard configurations. However, feedback resistor selection (e.g., 560 Ω for G = 2) is critical to maintain phase margin and bandwidth-TI provides recommended values in the datasheet Table 1.
Can THS3061DGN drive a 75-Ω video load directly?
Yes, THS3061DGN can drive a 75-Ω load directly with ±13 V output swing and meets broadcast linearity specs: 0.02% differential gain and 0.01° differential phase at NTSC/PAL frequencies. For optimal performance, use matched 75-Ω source termination and minimize trace length to preserve 120 MHz 0.1-dB flat bandwidth.
How does PowerPAD™ thermal management affect THS3061DGN reliability?
Proper soldering of the THS3061DGN's PowerPAD™ to a dedicated thermal copper plane reduces θJA from 58.4°C/W to ≤30°C/W in typical layouts. Without this, junction temperature can exceed +125°C at full output current, triggering thermal shutdown or accelerated parametric drift-TI mandates PowerPAD connection per SLMA002 technical brief.
Is THS3061DGN suitable for driving repetitive high-frequency sine waves?
THS3061DGN is not recommended for repetitive signals exceeding 900 V/μs slew rate (e.g., high-amplitude, high-frequency sine waves), as this causes excessive supply current and potential device damage. For such applications, TI recommends THS3091 or THS3095-designed specifically for sustained high-slew-rate operation.
