Product details
Overview
THS3110CDG4 from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, high-voltage current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video distribution and high-speed analog signal routing. It delivers 90 MHz small-signal bandwidth (G = 2, RL = 100 Ω), 1300 V/μs slew rate, ±15 V supply operation, 260 mA output drive, and <0.013% differential gain error with PAL/NTSC video loads. It serves as a precision video buffer in broadcast-grade distribution amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the THS3110CDG4 datasheet, THS3110CDG4 pinout, THS3110CDG4 application, or THS3110CDG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its power-down capability (PD pin), 75-Ω transmission line drive compliance, differential phase/gain performance across multiple 150-Ω loads, and SOIC-8 PowerPAD™ thermal performance under ±15 V operation.
Technical Context
The THS3110CDG4 uses a current-feedback architecture with separate high-impedance noninverting input (41 MΩ) and low-impedance inverting input, enabling wide bandwidth independent of closed-loop gain. Its transimpedance gain of 1 MΩ supports stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100 pF when using recommended RISO compensation.
It integrates a dedicated power-down pin (PD) that reduces quiescent current from 4.8 mA to 270 μA while maintaining defined REF pin voltage range (VS– to VS+ – 4 V). The device features matched input bias currents (1–6 μA), 3 nV/√Hz voltage noise, and 2-pA/√Hz noninverting current noise - critical for low-distortion video signal integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal BW | 90 MHz at G = 2, RL = 100 Ω - enables full HD video bandwidth without gain-dependent roll-off |
| Slew rate | 1300 V/μs at G = 2, VO = 8 VPP, RL = 100 Ω - supports fast transient response for composite sync pulses |
| Differential gain | 0.013% (PAL), 0.011% (NTSC) - meets SMPTE RP 168 and ITU-R BT.601 broadcast accuracy requirements |
| Differential phase | 0.033° (PAL), 0.029° (NTSC) - preserves chroma timing fidelity across 8× 150-Ω video loads |
| Output current | ±260 mA (RL = 25 Ω) - drives multiple 75-Ω coaxial lines simultaneously without external buffers |
| Power-down IQ | 270 μA max (PD ≥ REF + 2 V) - reduces system standby power in multi-channel video routers |
| Input voltage noise | 3 nV/√Hz - minimizes added noise in baseband analog video paths |
Pinout & Package
THS3110CDG4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (D) with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad on underside, requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management per TI SLMA002 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice |
| 2 (VIN−) | Inverting input | Low-impedance node for feedback network; accepts current-driven signals in CFB topology |
| 3 (VIN+) | Noninverting input | High-impedance (41 MΩ), low-capacitance (0.4 pF) node for signal source coupling |
| 4 (VS−) | Negative supply rail | Connects to −15 V; supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to ±12.5 V |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; no internal bond wire; electrically isolated |
| 6 (VS+) | Positive supply rail | Connects to +15 V; PSRR > 69 dB ensures immunity to supply ripple |
| 7 (VOUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±13.4 V swing into 100 Ω; designed for direct 75-Ω cable termination |
| 8 (PD) | Power-down control | Active-high logic input; defaults ON if unconnected; requires REF pin reference for threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-down function | Reduces quiescent current by 94% (4.8 mA → 270 μA), enabling dynamic channel gating in video matrix switchers |
| 75-Ω transmission line drive | Optimized output stage delivers <0.03° differential phase error across 8× 150-Ω loads - compliant with broadcast video distribution standards |
| Current-feedback architecture | Provides flat 90-MHz bandwidth at G = 2 and 66-MHz at G = 10 - eliminates gain-bandwidth tradeoff in multi-gain video systems |
| Low distortion | −52 dBc 2nd harmonic (10 MHz, 2 VPP) - preserves luminance/chroma separation in SD/HD composite and component video |
| Thermal-enhanced SOIC | PowerPAD™ package achieves θJA = 95°C/W (JEDEC low-K board) - sustains 1.05 W dissipation at +25°C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed video amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3111CDG4 | No power-down pin; identical AC/DC specs and pinout except PD/REF pins omitted | Preferred where continuous operation is required and power gating adds complexity | Select THS3111CDG4 for fixed-function video paths without dynamic channel enable/disable needs |
| LMH6702MF/NOPB | Higher 1.7 GHz unity-gain bandwidth but lower output current (120 mA); no integrated power-down | Better suited for RF IF amplification than multi-load video distribution | Choose LMH6702MF/NOPB only when >500 MHz small-signal bandwidth is mandatory and load count ≤2 |
Compared with THS3110CDG4, THS3111CDG4 removes power management overhead while retaining identical video fidelity; LMH6702MF/NOPB trades output drive and multi-load phase accuracy for raw bandwidth - making THS3110CDG4 uniquely balanced for broadcast-grade distribution.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of 75-Ω video loads the THS3110CDG4 can drive while maintaining SMPTE-compliant differential phase?
The THS3110CDG4 maintains <0.033° differential phase error across up to eight 150-Ω loads (equivalent to sixteen 75-Ω terminations in parallel configuration), as verified in Figure 30 of the SLOS422E datasheet. This performance holds at ±15 V supply, G = 2, and 40 IRE NTSC/PAL test conditions - meeting SMPTE RP 168 for broadcast monitoring applications.
Does the THS3110CDG4 require external compensation when driving 100-pF capacitive loads?
Yes - the THS3110CDG4 requires series isolation resistor (RISO) compensation when driving >10 pF capacitive loads. Per Figure 8 of the datasheet, a 54.9-Ω RISO is recommended for 22-pF load; 100-pF load requires 54.9 Ω per TI's validated design. Omitting RISO risks peaking and instability in the closed-loop response.
How does the power-down function of the THS3110CDG4 behave if the REF pin is unconnected?
If the REF pin is left unconnected, the THS3110CDG4 power-down circuit defaults to enabled state due to internal biasing, causing the amplifier to remain in low-power mode (270 μA IQ). TI specifies REF must be externally tied to a defined voltage between VS– and VS+ – 4 V to ensure predictable PD pin threshold behavior - see Section 7.5 of SLOS422E.
Can the THS3110CDG4 operate from a single +30-V supply instead of dual ±15-V rails?
Yes - the THS3110CDG4 supports single-supply operation from +10 V to +30 V (absolute max 33 V), as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. However, input common-mode range shrinks to ±2.8 V at ±5 V supply and ±12.5 V at ±15 V; single +30 V operation requires level-shifting circuitry to keep inputs within VS– + 1.5 V to VS+ – 1.5 V.
What thermal derating applies to the THS3110CDG4 in SOIC-8 PowerPAD™ package at 85°C ambient?
At TA = +85°C, the THS3110CDG4's maximum continuous power dissipation is 421 mW (per Dissipation Ratings Table), corresponding to ~280 mW usable output power into 100 Ω. This requires thermal vias under the PowerPAD™ and ≥1 in² copper pour to maintain TJ ≤ +125°C - exceeding this limit triggers permanent reliability degradation per TI SLMA002 guidelines.
