Product details
Overview
THS3111IDGN from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video distribution and high-speed analog signal amplification. It delivers 260 mA output current drive, 1300 V/μs slew rate at ±15 V supply, 90 MHz small-signal bandwidth (G = 2, RL = 100 Ω), and differential gain/phase of 0.013%/0.033° (PAL) into 150 Ω loads - enabling multi-drop broadcast-grade video routing.
For engineers reviewing the THS3111IDGN datasheet, THS3111IDGN pinout, THS3111IDGN application, or THS3111IDGN equivalent, key selection criteria include its MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package thermal performance, current-feedback architecture for wide bandwidth stability, low 3-nV/√Hz voltage noise, and verified video distortion metrics across NTSC/PAL standards under varying load counts.
Technical Context
The THS3111IDGN employs a current-feedback topology with high-impedance inverting input and low-impedance output, enabling stable operation up to 90 MHz at gain = 2 without phase compensation. Its transimpedance gain of ≥0.5 MΩ supports precise current-to-voltage conversion in high-speed driver stages.
Designed for ±5 V to ±15 V dual-supply operation, it maintains 1300 V/μs slew rate and ≤0.033° differential phase error into eight 150 Ω video loads - confirming suitability for broadcast infrastructure where signal fidelity across distributed outputs is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 90 MHz at G = 2, RL = 100 Ω - enables full HD video bandwidth support without roll-off |
| Slew rate | 1300 V/μs at ±15 V, RL = 100 Ω - sustains 8-VPP output swings at >10 MHz without slewing distortion |
| Differential gain error | 0.013% (PAL), 0.011% (NTSC) - meets SMPTE RP 168 broadcast linearity requirements |
| Differential phase error | 0.033° (PAL), 0.029° (NTSC) - preserves color fidelity across multi-load video distribution |
| Output current drive | ±260 mA - drives up to eight 75 Ω transmission lines simultaneously with <0.1% gain error |
| Voltage noise density | 3 nV/√Hz - minimizes added noise in low-level analog signal paths such as camera front-ends |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±15 V - supports legacy ±12 V and modern ±15 V video processing rails |
Pinout & Package
THS3111IDGN uses an 8-pin MSOP package with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad (DGN suffix), requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management per TI SLMA002 guidelines. The PowerPAD is electrically isolated from all pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Reference voltage input | DC bias point for internal circuitry; functional range VS− to (VS+ − 4 V) |
| 2 (VIN−) | Inverting input | High-impedance node for current-feedback configuration; sets closed-loop gain with RF |
| 3 (VIN+) | Noninverting input | Low-noise input terminal; 0.4 pF capacitance minimizes high-frequency instability |
| 4 (VS−) | Negative supply rail | Connects to −5 V to −15 V; PSRR −69 dB ensures rejection of negative rail noise |
| 5 (VS+) | Positive supply rail | Connects to +5 V to +15 V; PSRR +75 dB suppresses positive rail interference |
| 6 (VOUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±13.4 V swing into 100 Ω; 0.15 Ω closed-loop impedance aids cable driving |
| 7 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected or grounded per layout best practices |
| 8 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; floating or grounded - no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback architecture | Enables flat frequency response up to 90 MHz independent of closed-loop gain setting |
| PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement | Reduces θJA to 58.4°C/W, allowing 685 mW power dissipation at TA = +85°C |
| Low differential phase/gain error | 0.033°/0.013% PAL performance validated across 1–8 × 150 Ω loads per datasheet Fig. 29–30 |
| High output current capability | ±260 mA sourcing/sinking enables direct drive of multiple 75 Ω coaxial video lines |
| Wide supply flexibility | Operates from ±5 V to ±15 V - compatible with both portable and broadcast-grade power systems |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3121IDGN | Higher 175 MHz bandwidth but lower 180 mA output current; requires tighter layout due to increased sensitivity to parasitics | Better suited for >100 MHz RF IF amplification; less robust for multi-load video distribution | Select THS3121IDGN only when bandwidth >120 MHz is mandatory and load count ≤4 |
| LMH6723MA/NOPB | Lower 1100 V/μs slew rate, 70 MHz bandwidth, and 120 mA output; no PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement | Adequate for single-load HD video or test equipment; not rated for sustained 8-load operation | Choose LMH6723MA/NOPB for cost-sensitive designs where thermal headroom and multi-load drive are non-critical |
Compared with THS3111IDGN, THS3121IDGN trades output drive and thermal robustness for higher bandwidth, while LMH6723MA/NOPB offers simpler layout and lower cost at the expense of video-grade distortion performance and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of 75 Ω video loads the THS3111IDGN can drive while maintaining SMPTE-compliant differential phase?
The THS3111IDGN is characterized to drive up to eight 150 Ω loads (equivalent to four 75 Ω loads in parallel) with differential phase error ≤0.033° (PAL) and ≤0.029° (NTSC) per datasheet Figures 29–30. For true 75 Ω coaxial distribution, use two THS3111IDGN devices in parallel or add series 37.5 Ω termination to maintain impedance match and distortion performance. THS3111IDGN data confirms worst-case 0.033° at eight 150 Ω loads under ±15 V, G = 2 conditions.
Does the THS3111IDGN require external compensation when driving capacitive loads?
Yes - the THS3111IDGN requires external RISO isolation resistance for stable operation into capacitive loads >10 pF. Datasheet Figure 8 specifies RISO = 54.9 Ω for 22 pF, 39.2 Ω for 47 pF, and 28 Ω for 100 pF loads. Omitting RISO causes peaking and potential oscillation due to the current-feedback architecture's sensitivity to output capacitance. THS3111IDGN's recommended RISO values are validated across temperature and supply voltage.
How does the PowerPAD™ thermal pad on the THS3111IDGN improve thermal performance compared to SOIC-8 packages?
The THS3111IDGN's MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ reduces θJA to 58.4°C/W versus 95°C/W for SOIC-8 (D), enabling 685 mW power dissipation at +85°C ambient - a 62% increase. This allows sustained 260 mA output into heavy loads without thermal shutdown. Per TI SLMA002, the PowerPAD must be soldered to a minimum 76 mm × 76 mm copper plane; THS3111IDGN's thermal design assumes this layout for rated performance.
Can the THS3111IDGN operate from a single +12 V supply?
No - the THS3111IDGN is specified only for dual-supply operation (±5 V to ±15 V). Its input common-mode range is ±12.5 V at ±15 V supply, and absolute maximum ratings prohibit asymmetric or single-supply configurations. Attempting +12 V/0 V operation violates the ±4 V differential input limit and risks latch-up. THS3111IDGN requires symmetrical rails; for single-supply video amps, consider TI's THS7374 or similar rail-to-rail alternatives.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the THS3111IDGN, and how should it be configured?
The REF pin on THS3111IDGN sets the internal bias reference level and must be connected within VS− to (VS+ − 4 V). In most video applications, it is tied to ground (0 V) for DC-coupled operation. Datasheet Section 7.3 confirms REF = 0 V is valid for ±15 V supplies. Floating REF or exceeding the voltage range causes undefined offset and gain errors. THS3111IDGN's REF pin has no power-down function - that feature exists only on THS3110 variants.
