Product details
Overview
THS3111ID 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 small-signal bandwidth (G = 2, RL = 100 Ω), 1300 V/μs slew rate, ±15 V supply operation, 260 mA output drive, and <0.015% differential gain error with PAL/NTSC video loads - enabling multi-drop 75-Ω video line driving in broadcast and professional AV equipment.
For engineers reviewing the THS3111ID datasheet, THS3111ID pinout, THS3111ID application, or THS3111ID equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, industrial-grade temperature performance (–40°C to +85°C), SOIC-8 package details, video-specific distortion metrics, and validated alternatives for video amplifier replacement and system-level design validation.
Technical Context
The THS3111ID uses a current-feedback architecture with high-impedance noninverting input (41 MΩ) and low-impedance inverting input, enabling stable wideband gain configurations up to G = 10 without phase compensation. Its transimpedance gain of 1 MΩ supports precision current-to-voltage conversion in sensor interfaces.
It operates across ±5 V to ±15 V dual supplies, delivering rail-to-rail output swing (±13.4 V into 100 Ω at ±15 V) and maintaining <0.033° differential phase error across 8× 150-Ω video loads - confirming suitability for analog video fanout without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 90 MHz at G = 2, RL = 100 Ω - supports full HD baseband video (up to ~30 MHz) with ample margin for group delay flatness. |
| Slew rate | 1300 V/μs into 100 Ω - enables 8-VPP output steps at >10 MHz without slewing-induced distortion. |
| Differential gain error | 0.013% (PAL), 0.011% (NTSC) - meets SMPTE RP 168 and ITU-R BT.601 broadcast video fidelity requirements. |
| Output current drive | ±260 mA - drives ≥8× 75-Ω video lines simultaneously while maintaining <0.4% differential gain degradation. |
| Input voltage noise | 3 nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in low-level analog signal paths such as camera front-end amplification. |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±15 V - compatible with legacy analog video systems using ±12 V or ±15 V rails. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and broadcast equipment deployed in uncontrolled environments. |
Pinout & Package
THS3111ID is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper plane for reliable power dissipation at continuous 421 mW (TA = +25°C).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - left floating or grounded per layout best practice for noise control. |
| 2 | VIN− | Inverting input - low-impedance node; requires matched trace length and termination for current-feedback stability. |
| 3 | VIN+ | Noninverting input - high-impedance (41 MΩ); sensitive to parasitic capacitance; guard ring recommended. |
| 4 | VS− | Negative supply rail - decoupling capacitor (≥0.1 μF ceramic + 10 μF tantalum) required within 5 mm. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection - not bonded; electrically isolated. |
| 6 | VS+ | Positive supply rail - same decoupling requirement as VS−; symmetric layout critical for PSRR. |
| 7 | VOUT | Amplifier output - directly drives 75-Ω coaxial lines; series RISO (e.g., 39.2 Ω) needed for >100 pF capacitive loads. |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection - unused; may be tied to ground for mechanical stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback topology | Enables constant bandwidth vs. gain setting - simplifies design of G = 2 to G = 10 video gain stages without recompensation. |
| 75-Ω video line drive capability | Validated differential gain/phase performance across 8× 150-Ω loads confirms direct interface to standard SD/HD video distribution networks. |
| Low 3-nV/√Hz input voltage noise | Maintains >70 dB SNR in 0–10 MHz video bandwidth, critical for high-fidelity analog component video (Y/Pb/Pr) signal chains. |
| High output current (±260 mA) | Eliminates need for external emitter/source followers in multi-output video buffer designs, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Industrial temperature grade | –40°C to +85°C operation ensures reliability in broadcast trucks, security DVRs, and medical imaging displays without derating. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3201DR | Higher 1.8-GHz gain-bandwidth, lower 1.6-nV/√Hz noise, but only ±12 V max supply and no industrial temp grade. | Limited to commercial-temp (0°C to +70°C) systems; unsuitable for field-deployed broadcast gear requiring –40°C startup. | Select THS3201DR only when ultra-low noise (<2 nV/√Hz) and >500 MHz bandwidth are prioritized over supply voltage headroom and temperature range. |
| LMH6702MA | 1.7-GHz GBW, ±6 V max supply, 100-mA output drive, and no PowerPAD thermal enhancement. | Cannot drive 8× 75-Ω loads without gain compression; requires external heat sinking above 100 mW dissipation. | Choose LMH6702MA for compact PCB layouts where space prohibits SOIC-8 PowerPAD footprint, accepting reduced load count and thermal margin. |
Compared with THS3111ID, THS3201DR offers superior noise and bandwidth but sacrifices industrial temperature support and ±15 V operation, while LMH6702MA trades output drive and thermal robustness for smaller size and higher speed - making THS3111ID the optimal balance for multi-load, high-reliability video distribution.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of 75-Ω video loads the THS3111ID can drive while maintaining broadcast video specifications?
The THS3111ID maintains differential gain error ≤0.03% and differential phase error ≤0.04° across up to eight 150-Ω loads - which corresponds to eight 75-Ω video lines when terminated properly. This is confirmed by Figure 29 and Figure 30 in the THS3111ID datasheet (SLOS422E), measured at G = 2, RF = 1 kΩ, VS = ±15 V, and 40 IRE NTSC/PAL signals. Exceeding eight loads increases distortion beyond SMPTE RP 168 limits.
Does the THS3111ID include a power-down feature like the THS3110?
No, the THS3111ID does not include a power-down (PD) pin or related circuitry. That functionality is exclusive to the THS3110 variant, as explicitly stated in the "Power-Down Characteristics" section of the THS3110/THS3111 datasheet. The THS3111ID operates continuously when powered and draws 4.8 mA typical quiescent current at ±15 V - a key differentiator when selecting between THS3110ID and THS3111ID for low-power standby applications.
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for a G = 2 noninverting configuration with the THS3111ID?
The THS3111ID datasheet specifies RF = 1 kΩ for G = 2 in all AC performance tables (e.g., bandwidth, slew rate, harmonic distortion) under ±15 V operation. This value ensures optimal stability, bandwidth flatness, and distortion performance. Using significantly higher or lower values risks peaking, reduced bandwidth, or degraded differential phase - especially critical in video applications. Layout symmetry and 1% tolerance metal-film resistors are strongly advised.
Can the THS3111ID drive capacitive loads such as coaxial cables without external isolation components?
The THS3111ID requires external series isolation resistance (RISO) for stable operation into capacitive loads >10 pF. Figure 8 in the THS3111ID datasheet shows recommended RISO values: 54.9 Ω for 10–22 pF, 39.2 Ω for 47 pF, and 28 Ω for 100 pF. Direct connection to long coaxial runs (>1 m) without RISO causes gain peaking and potential oscillation. Always place RISO adjacent to the VOUT pin and use controlled-impedance routing.
Is the THS3111ID pin-compatible with other members of the THS31xx family?
Yes, the THS3111ID shares identical SOIC-8 (D) pinout with THS3110ID, THS3110CD, THS3111CD, and all D- and DGN-package variants in the THS3110/THS3111 family. Pin 1 (NC), Pin 2 (VIN−), Pin 3 (VIN+), Pin 4 (VS−), Pin 5 (NC), Pin 6 (VS+), Pin 7 (VOUT), and Pin 8 (NC) are functionally and physically identical. However, THS3110 variants include a PD pin (replacing Pin 5 NC), so PCBs designed for THS3110 must not assume Pin 5 is unused on THS3111ID.
