Product details
Overview
THS3111CDR from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, high-voltage current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video distribution and high-speed analog signal conditioning. It delivers 90 MHz 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 into 150 Ω loads - enabling multi-drop broadcast-quality video amplification.
For engineers reviewing the THS3111CDR datasheet, THS3111CDR pinout, THS3111CDR application, or THS3111CDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-feedback architecture for wide bandwidth stability, differential gain/phase performance in NTSC/PAL systems, thermal design with PowerPAD™, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with legacy video line-driver layouts.
Technical Context
The THS3111CDR uses a current-feedback topology with high-impedance noninverting input (41 MΩ) and low-impedance inverting input, enabling stable gain-setting via feedback resistor (RF = 1 kΩ typical) without degrading bandwidth. Its transimpedance gain of 1 MΩ supports precise current-to-voltage conversion in high-speed sensor interfaces.
Unlike voltage-feedback op-amps, the THS3111CDR maintains flat frequency response up to 90 MHz at G = 2 due to its unity-gain bandwidth of 100 MHz and minimal phase shift - critical for preserving edge integrity in HD video signals and fast pulse applications like pin drivers and capacitive load switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal BW | 90 MHz at G = 2, RL = 100 Ω - enables full HD video signal amplification without roll-off |
| Slew rate | 1300 V/μs at VO = 8 VPP - supports >10 MHz large-swing transient fidelity |
| Differential gain | 0.013% (PAL), 0.011% (NTSC) - meets broadcast-grade video linearity specs |
| Output current | ±260 mA into RL = 25 Ω - drives multiple 75 Ω coaxial lines or heavy capacitive loads |
| Voltage noise | 3 nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in low-level analog signal chains |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±15 V - accommodates industrial and broadcast power rails |
| Input current noise | 2 pA/√Hz (noninverting), 10 pA/√Hz (inverting) - minimizes current-source interface errors |
Pinout & Package
THS3111CDR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad on the underside, requiring solder connection to a PCB copper 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 grounded per layout best practice |
| 2 (VIN−) | Inverting input | Low-impedance node for feedback network; sets closed-loop gain with RF |
| 3 (VIN+) | Noninverting input | High-impedance (41 MΩ) input for signal source; minimal loading on source |
| 4 (VS−) | Negative supply rail | Connects to −15 V (or −5 V); PowerPAD™ must be thermally coupled to ground plane |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; no electrical function |
| 6 (VS+) | Positive supply rail | Connects to +15 V (or +5 V); decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm |
| 7 (VOUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±13.4 V swing into 100 Ω; drives 75 Ω transmission lines directly |
| 8 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; no routing or connection required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback architecture | Enables constant bandwidth vs. gain - 90 MHz at G = 2, 66 MHz at G = 10 - unlike voltage-feedback op-amps |
| PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement | Reduces θJA to 95°C/W (SOIC-8), allowing 1.05 W dissipation at TA = +25°C with proper PCB copper area |
| Video-optimized linearity | Differential phase <0.033° and gain error <0.013% ensure broadcast-compliant NTSC/PAL signal reproduction |
| High output current drive | ±260 mA sourcing/sinking capability eliminates need for external buffer stages in multi-load video distribution |
| Low noise floor | 3 nV/√Hz voltage noise + 2 pA/√Hz noninverting current noise preserves dynamic range in precision analog front-ends |
Applications
| Video Distribution Amplifier | High-Speed Pin Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Distributing composite video (NTSC/PAL) from one source to eight 75 Ω coaxial outputs in broadcast equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-feedback video amplifier providing gain = 2 with minimal differential gain/phase distortion across all outputs. Use Value: Maintains <0.013% differential gain and <0.033° phase error even when driving eight 150 Ω loads - eliminating post-amplifier correction circuitry. | Use Scenario: Driving high-capacitance test points or relay coils in automated test equipment (ATE) with fast digital pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-slew-rate buffer delivering 8-V step transitions with <8 ns rise/fall time into 100 Ω. Use Value: 1300 V/μs slew rate ensures sub-10 ns edge fidelity, reducing timing skew in parallel pin-test architectures. |
| Capacitive Load Driver | Power FET Gate Driver |
Use Scenario: Driving 1 nF capacitive loads in active filter or ADC anti-aliasing stages without oscillation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable current-feedback amplifier with recommended RISO compensation (e.g., 39.2 Ω for 47 pF). Use Value: Maintains >45 dB 0.1-dB bandwidth flatness into 1 nF loads - avoids peaking and settling degradation seen in VFB op-amps. | Use Scenario: Directly driving the gate of a 10 nF power MOSFET in a high-frequency DC-DC converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current output stage sourcing/sinking 260 mA to minimize gate charge/discharge time. Use Value: Reduces MOSFET switching transition time by >40% versus standard op-amps, lowering conduction losses at 500 kHz switching. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3201DR | Higher 1.8 GHz gain-bandwidth, lower 1.8 nV/√Hz noise, but only ±12 V max supply and no PowerPAD™ | Better for RF IF amplification; unsuitable for ±15 V video systems or thermal-limited PCBs | Select THS3201DR only if bandwidth >500 MHz is required and supply is ≤±12 V |
| LMH6702MF/NOPB | 1.7 GHz GBW, 3.3 nV/√Hz noise, SOIC-8 package, but 120 mA output current and no specified differential gain/phase data | Valid for generic high-speed buffering; lacks video-specific characterization for broadcast compliance | Choose LMH6702MF/NOPB when video linearity specs are not mandated and higher frequency is prioritized over drive strength |
Compared with THS3111CDR, THS3201DR offers superior bandwidth but sacrifices ±15 V operation and thermal robustness, while LMH6702MF/NOPB trades output drive and video-spec validation for raw speed - making THS3111CDR the optimal choice for broadcast video and high-current, high-voltage analog signal distribution.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for THS3111CDR?
The THS3111CDR has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±16 V, with recommended operating range from ±5 V to ±15 V. Operation at ±15 V enables full specification compliance including 90 MHz bandwidth, 1300 V/μs slew rate, and ±13.4 V output swing into 100 Ω - all verified per SLOS422E datasheet Section 6.2.
Does THS3111CDR support video standards like NTSC and PAL?
Yes, THS3111CDR is explicitly characterized for video applications: differential gain is 0.011% (NTSC) and 0.013% (PAL), differential phase is 0.029° (NTSC) and 0.033° (PAL) at G = 2, RL = 150 Ω, VS = ±15 V - meeting broadcast-grade linearity requirements per Figure 29 and 30 in the THS3111CDR datasheet.
Is a heatsink required for THS3111CDR in SOIC-8 package?
Yes - the THS3111CDR D-package includes a PowerPAD™ thermal pad that must be soldered to a PCB copper plane per TI SLMA002 guidelines. Without this thermal connection, junction temperature exceeds limits under 1.05 W dissipation; proper layout achieves θJA = 95°C/W and enables continuous operation at TA = +25°C.
Can THS3111CDR drive multiple 75 Ω coaxial cables simultaneously?
Yes, THS3111CDR is validated to drive up to eight 150 Ω loads (equivalent to four 75 Ω cables in parallel) with differential gain error <0.03% and phase error <0.04° - demonstrated in Figures 29 and 30 of the THS3111CDR datasheet using 40 IRE NTSC/PAL test signals and worst-case ±100 IRE ramp conditions.
What is the small-signal bandwidth of THS3111CDR at gain = 5?
The THS3111CDR delivers 87 MHz small-signal bandwidth (–3 dB) at gain = 5, RF = 806 Ω, RL = 100 Ω, and VS = ±15 V per Table 1 in the SLOS422E datasheet. This remains stable across temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and exceeds competing voltage-feedback op-amps at the same gain setting.
