Product details
Overview
THS3111IDR from Texas Instruments is a current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity video distribution, delivering 90 MHz bandwidth (G = 2, RL = 100 Ω), 1300 V/μs slew rate, ±15 V supply operation, and <0.013% differential gain error with PAL/NTSC signals driving up to eight 150-Ω loads.
For engineers reviewing the THS3111IDR datasheet, THS3111IDR pinout, THS3111IDR application, or THS3111IDR equivalent, this page provides verified pin configuration, video-specific AC performance data, thermal design guidance for SOIC-8 PowerPAD™, and validated alternatives for broadcast-grade signal routing.
Technical Context
The THS3111IDR uses a current-feedback architecture with low-impedance inverting input and high-impedance noninverting input, enabling stable gain-setting via feedback resistor (RF) without degrading bandwidth. Its transimpedance gain of 1 MΩ at DC supports precise current-to-voltage conversion in driver stages.
Designed for ±5 V to ±15 V dual-supply operation, it maintains 0.1-dB flatness to 45 MHz (G = 2) and delivers 260 mA output current into 25-Ω loads-critical for driving multiple 75-Ω coaxial lines while preserving differential gain/phase integrity below 0.033°.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal BW | 90 MHz at G = 2, RL = 100 Ω - enables full HD baseband video amplification without roll-off |
| Slew rate | 1300 V/μs at G = 2, VO = 8 VPP - supports fast transient response for sync pulses and sharp edges |
| Differential gain | 0.013% (PAL), 0.011% (NTSC) - meets SMPTE RP 168 broadcast fidelity requirements |
| Differential phase | 0.033° (PAL), 0.029° (NTSC) - preserves color timing accuracy across multi-load distribution |
| Output current | ±260 mA into 25 Ω - drives eight 150-Ω video loads simultaneously with minimal distortion |
| Input voltage noise | 3 nV/√Hz above 20 kHz - ensures low-noise amplification for analog RGB/YUV signals |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±15 V - compatible with legacy broadcast equipment and industrial power rails |
Pinout & Package
THS3111IDR is housed in an SOIC-8 (D) package with PowerPAD™ thermal pad on underside, requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for junction temperature control under continuous 260 mA output conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
| 2 (VIN−) | Inverting input | Low-impedance node for feedback network; sets transimpedance gain with RF |
| 3 (VIN+) | Noninverting input | High-impedance input for signal source; common-mode range extends to ±13.3 V |
| 4 (VS−) | Negative supply rail | Connects to −15 V (or −5 V); requires local 0.1 μF bypass capacitor |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; no internal bond wire; avoid routing traces beneath |
| 6 (VS+) | Positive supply rail | Connects to +15 V (or +5 V); requires local 0.1 μF bypass capacitor |
| 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; electrically isolated; may be grounded for mechanical stability |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6702MA/NOPB | Higher 1.7 GHz GBW but lower output current (120 mA); no PowerPAD™; 0.025° differential phase at 150 Ω | Preferred for RF sampling front-ends, not multi-load video distribution | Select when bandwidth >500 MHz required and load count ≤2 |
| ADA4870ARZ | 700 mA output drive but higher 7 nV/√Hz noise; ±10 V max supply; 0.045° differential phase at 150 Ω | Targeted at high-current pulse applications, not broadcast video fidelity | Select when >200 mA continuous current needed and differential phase <0.04° acceptable |
Compared with LMH6702MA/NOPB and ADA4870ARZ, THS3111IDR uniquely balances 90 MHz bandwidth, 260 mA drive, and <0.033° differential phase-making it the only option qualified for SMPTE-compliant 8-output video distribution without external buffering.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of 150-Ω video loads the THS3111IDR can drive while maintaining SMPTE-compliant differential phase?
The THS3111IDR maintains differential phase error ≤0.033° (PAL) and ≤0.029° (NTSC) when driving up to eight 150-Ω loads, as verified in Figure 30 of the SLOS422E datasheet. This performance holds at G = 2, RF = 1 kΩ, VS = ±15 V, and 40 IRE test conditions-meeting SMPTE RP 168 for professional video distribution. Exceeding eight loads increases phase error beyond specification limits.
Does the THS3111IDR require external compensation for driving 75-Ω coaxial cables?
Yes-the THS3111IDR requires series isolation resistor (RISO) compensation when driving capacitive 75-Ω coaxial cables. Per Figure 8 in the datasheet, a 39.2-Ω RISO is recommended for 47-pF loads, and 54.9-Ω for 10–22-pF loads. Omitting RISO causes peaking and instability due to cable capacitance interacting with the current-feedback loop.
How does the PowerPAD™ thermal pad on the THS3111IDR affect PCB layout requirements?
The PowerPAD™ on the THS3111IDR must be soldered to a solid copper thermal plane connected to system ground. TI specifies θJA = 95°C/W only when the pad is properly thermally coupled; floating or undersized pads raise junction temperature beyond the +125°C continuous limit. Use ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) under the pad, filled or plated, connected to inner-layer ground planes.
Can the THS3111IDR operate from a single +30 V supply instead of dual ±15 V rails?
No-the THS3111IDR is not designed for true single-supply operation. While the absolute maximum rating allows +30 V between VS+ and VS−, the input common-mode range is only ±13.3 V (min) and output swing is asymmetric without negative rail bias. For single-ended applications, use a split-rail generator or select a true rail-to-rail input/output op-amp.
What is the small-signal bandwidth of the THS3111IDR when configured for G = 5 with a 100-Ω load?
When configured for G = 5 with RL = 100 Ω and RF = 806 Ω, the THS3111IDR achieves a small-signal bandwidth of 87 MHz (–3 dB), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3). This is measured at VO = 200 mVPP with VS = ±15 V and represents usable bandwidth for high-definition video signals up to ~40 MHz fundamental content.
