Product details
Overview
THS3096PWPRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, high-voltage, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for low-distortion, high-slew-rate signal amplification in ±5 V to ±15 V supply systems. It delivers 160 MHz small-signal bandwidth (G = 5, RL = 100 Ω), −66 dBc 2nd harmonic distortion at 10 MHz, and ±250 mA output drive capability - enabling use in high-voltage arbitrary waveform generator output stages and power FET drivers.
For engineers reviewing the THS3096PWPRG4 datasheet, THS3096PWPRG4 pinout, THS3096PWPRG4 application, or THS3096PWPRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, TSSOP-14 PowerPAD™ package details, power-down functionality timing, thermal derating guidance, and validated alternative options for high-speed, high-output-current analog signal paths.
Technical Context
The THS3096PWPRG4 employs a current-feedback architecture with separate high-impedance noninverting input and low-impedance inverting input, enabling wide bandwidth independent of closed-loop gain. Its transimpedance gain of 850 kΩ (±15 V) and 700 kΩ (±5 V) defines loop stability and frequency response sensitivity to feedback resistor selection.
It integrates a dedicated power-down pin (PD) referenced to an internal REF node (VS− to VS+ − 4 V), enabling quiescent current reduction from 9.5 mA to 500 µA with 60 µs turn-on and 150 µs turn-off delays. The device supports dual-supply operation only - no single-supply biasing circuitry is integrated.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal BW | 160 MHz at G = 5, RL = 100 Ω - enables clean amplification of multi-MHz waveforms without gain peaking. |
| Slew rate | 5700 V/µs at G = 5, VO = 20 VPP - supports fast-rising high-voltage pulses without slew-induced distortion. |
| Harmonic distortion | −66 dBc HD2 / −76 dBc HD3 at 10 MHz, RL = 100 Ω - meets stringent spectral purity requirements in RF and video driver applications. |
| Output current | ±250 mA into RL ≥ 40 Ω - drives heavy capacitive or resistive loads such as power FET gates or VDSL line transformers. |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±15 V - accommodates legacy industrial and telecom rails while maintaining full performance across voltage range. |
| Power-down current | 500 µA max at PD = 0 V - reduces system standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 PowerPAD™ package with thermally enhanced underside pad (electrically isolated); requires PCB thermal plane connection for rated power dissipation (2.67 W at TA ≤ 25°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1VOUT | Channel 1 output | High-current, low-impedance output capable of ±250 mA sourcing/sinking into 40 Ω. |
| 1VIN− | Channel 1 inverting input | Low-impedance (30 Ω) current-summing node; sets closed-loop gain with RF. |
| 1VIN+ | Channel 1 noninverting input | High-impedance (1.3 MΩ) input; used for DC biasing or unity-gain buffer configurations. |
| VS− | Negative supply rail | Connects to negative supply; must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| VS+ | Positive supply rail | Connects to positive supply; same decoupling requirement as VS−. |
| 2VOUT | Channel 2 output | Independent high-current output; crosstalk to Channel 1 is −60 dB at 10 MHz. |
| 2VIN− | Channel 2 inverting input | Functionally identical to 1VIN−; supports independent gain configuration per channel. |
| 2VIN+ | Channel 2 noninverting input | Functionally identical to 1VIN+; enables dual-channel differential or parallel drive. |
| NC | No internal connection | Pins 9–12 are unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practices. |
| REF | Power-down reference | Analog reference for PD threshold; valid range is VS− to (VS+ − 4 V); must be externally stabilized. |
| PD | Power-down control | Active-high enable: PD ≥ REF + 2 V enables operation; PD ≤ REF + 0.8 V disables amplifier. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback topology | Enables stable 160 MHz bandwidth at G = 5 without gain-bandwidth tradeoff typical of voltage-feedback op-amps. |
| Power-down function | Reduces quiescent current by 95% (9.5 mA → 500 µA) with sub-100 µs wake-up latency for burst-mode signal generation. |
| High output drive | Delivers ±250 mA into 40 Ω while maintaining <0.1% differential gain error - suitable for direct power FET gate driving. |
| Low distortion at high frequency | −66 dBc HD2 at 10 MHz ensures minimal spectral regrowth in arbitrary waveform generator output stages. |
| Thermally enhanced PowerPAD™ | Enables 2.67 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C when connected to ≥1-in² copper pour - critical for sustained high-output operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, high-output-current amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3096D | SOIC-8 package; no REF/PD pins; fixed operation (no power-down); 1.02 W max power at TA ≤ 25°C. | Lacks power management; unsuitable for battery-powered or duty-cycled systems requiring standby mode. | Select when board space allows SOIC-8 and power-down is unnecessary; lower thermal performance than PWP. |
| THS3202D | Single-channel, 220 MHz BW, −72 dBc HD2 at 10 MHz, 200 mA output; SOIC-8; no power-down. | Higher bandwidth and lower distortion but half the output current and no dual-channel integration. | Select when single-channel performance exceeds THS3096PWPRG4 specs and dual-channel operation is not required. |
Compared with THS3096D and THS3202D, the THS3096PWPRG4 uniquely combines dual-channel operation, TSSOP-14 PowerPAD™ thermal performance, and functional power-down - making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained, and energy-aware high-speed analog systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe junction temperature for continuous operation of the THS3096PWPRG4?
The THS3096PWPRG4 has a maximum junction temperature of 125°C for continuous operation to ensure long-term reliability and stable distortion performance. Exceeding this temperature causes measurable increase in harmonic distortion and potential permanent degradation. Thermal design must maintain TJ ≤ 125°C using the PowerPAD™ and PCB copper area per TI SLMA002 guidelines.
How does the REF pin function in the THS3096PWPRG4 power-down circuit?
The REF pin on the THS3096PWPRG4 establishes the reference voltage for the PD pin threshold, with a valid range from VS− to (VS+ − 4 V). When PD ≥ REF + 2 V, the amplifier operates normally; when PD ≤ REF + 0.8 V, it enters low-power standby. REF must be externally stabilized - floating or poorly decoupled REF causes erratic power-down behavior in the THS3096PWPRG4.
Can the THS3096PWPRG4 operate from a single supply?
No, the THS3096PWPRG4 is specified and characterized for dual-supply operation only (±5 V to ±15 V). It lacks internal level-shifting or rail-to-rail input/output circuitry required for true single-supply use. Attempting single-supply operation (e.g., 0 V and +30 V) violates absolute maximum ratings and results in undefined behavior or damage to the THS3096PWPRG4.
What is the recommended feedback resistor for G = 5 operation with the THS3096PWPRG4?
Texas Instruments specifies RF = 715 Ω and RG = 178 Ω for G = 5 operation with RL = 100 Ω to minimize peaking and maximize bandwidth (160 MHz). Using values outside this recommendation - especially higher RF - reduces bandwidth and may compromise stability. This exact resistor pair is validated in the THS3096PWPRG4 datasheet Figure 52 and Table 1.
Does the THS3096PWPRG4 require external compensation for stability?
No, the THS3096PWPRG4 is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation components when used with recommended RF/RG values. However, stability depends critically on proper PCB layout: short traces, local 0.1 µF supply decoupling at each VS+ and VS− pin, and grounding of unused pins (NC) per TI layout guidelines for the THS3096PWPRG4 TSSOP-14 PowerPAD™ package.
