Product details
Overview
THS4021IDGNR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, ultra-low-noise, high-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for precision imaging and test instrumentation. It delivers 1.2nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 470V/μs slew rate, 30ns settling time (0.1%), 290MHz closed-loop bandwidth at G=10, and stable operation at gains ≥10V/V - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in ultrasound front-ends and source measurement units.
For engineers reviewing the THS4021IDGNR datasheet, THS4021IDGNR pinout, THS4021IDGNR application, or THS4021IDGNR equivalent, key selection criteria include its offset-nulling capability, ±4.5V to ±16V dual-supply flexibility, 200mA output drive, –68dBc THD at 1MHz, and HVSSOP-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 58.4°C/W).
Technical Context
The THS4021IDGNR employs a voltage-feedback architecture with fully differential input stage and Class-AB output stage, supporting stable closed-loop operation at minimum gain of 10V/V without external compensation. Its 2GHz gain-bandwidth product enables wideband signal amplification while maintaining low distortion across 1MHz–10MHz frequency bands.
Offset nulling is implemented via dedicated pins (1 and 8), allowing precise DC calibration in high-gain configurations. The amplifier operates over ±4.5V to ±16V supplies and achieves 200mA peak output current into low-impedance loads, making it suitable for driving 150Ω transmission lines and active filter stages in real-time data acquisition systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage noise | 1.2nV/√Hz @ >10kHz - enables sub-microvolt signal resolution in low-amplitude sensor interfaces |
| Slew rate | 470V/μs - supports fast transient response for pulse-based imaging and SMU step testing |
| Settling time | 30ns to 0.1% - ensures accurate multi-sample digitization in high-speed ADC driver applications |
| THD | –68dBc @ 1MHz, RL=150Ω - meets spectral purity requirements for RF and communication test equipment |
| Supply range | ±4.5V to ±16V - accommodates both portable (±5V) and high-dynamic-range (±15V) system architectures |
| Output drive | 200mA typical - directly drives 150Ω coaxial cables or parallel DAC output buffers without external boost |
| Gain stability | Stable at G ≥ 10V/V - eliminates need for gain-setting compensation networks in fixed-gain stages |
Pinout & Package
The THS4021IDGNR is housed in an 8-pin HVSSOP (DGN) package with exposed thermal pad, offering 58.4°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for sustained high-output operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 NULL | Offset null adjustment inputs | Connect external potentiometer (10kΩ) between pins 1–8 with wiper to VCC– to trim input offset voltage to <0.5mV |
| 2 IN– | Inverting input | Differential input node; requires matched trace length and impedance control for optimal CMRR above 1MHz |
| 3 IN+ | Noninverting input | High-impedance (1MΩ) input node; sensitive to PCB leakage and guarding in µV-level applications |
| 4 VCC– | Negative supply rail | Must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum within 5mm of pin; ground return path shared with analog ground plane |
| 5 NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no trace or copper pour allowed under pad |
| 6 OUT | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking 200mA; requires short, low-inductance routing to load to preserve 470V/μs slew rate |
| 7 VCC+ | Positive supply rail | Decoupling identical to VCC–; separate power planes recommended for ±15V operation to minimize PSRR degradation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low voltage noise | 1.2nV/√Hz enables detection of microvolt-level signals in ultrasound transducer preamplifiers |
| Offset nulling pins | Pins 1 and 8 allow <0.3mV offset trimming - critical for DC-coupled SMU feedback loops |
| High output current | 200mA drive capability eliminates need for external buffer when driving 150Ω video or test loads |
| Wide supply range | ±4.5V to ±16V operation supports both battery-powered portables and benchtop 16-bit precision instruments |
| Low distortion at 1MHz | –68dBc THD allows clean signal generation up to Nyquist frequency in 2Msps data acquisition systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-noise op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Lower 0.94nV/√Hz noise but only 140MHz GBW; no offset null pins; 130mA output | Better noise for DC-coupled sensor amps; insufficient bandwidth for >50MHz ultrasound IF stages | Select when ultra-low noise dominates over bandwidth and offset trim is handled digitally |
| OPA656U | 1.6nV/√Hz noise, 500MHz GBW, ±12V max supply, no null pins, 120mA output | Higher bandwidth for RF applications; lacks nulling for precision DC gain stages | Prefer for wideband photodiode transimpedance amps where offset drift is less critical than speed |
Compared with LMH6629MA/NOPB and OPA656U, the THS4021IDGNR uniquely combines offset nulling, 290MHz bandwidth at G=10, and 200mA drive in an HVSSOP package - making it the only choice for high-precision, high-output, DC-coupled instrumentation requiring manual offset calibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for THS4021IDGNR?
The THS4021IDGNR has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±16.5V (33V total across VCC+ and VCC–). Operation beyond ±16V is not recommended; the recommended operating range is ±4.5V to ±16V. Exceeding ±16.5V risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the SLOS265F datasheet.
Does THS4021IDGNR require external compensation for stability at G=10?
No, the THS4021IDGNR is internally compensated and specified as stable at gains ≥10V/V without external components. Its design eliminates the need for feedback capacitors or gain-setting networks in standard non-inverting or inverting configurations at G=10 or higher - verified by 290MHz closed-loop bandwidth and clean step response in Figure 5-21 through 5-23.
How is offset nulling implemented on THS4021IDGNR?
Offset nulling on THS4021IDGNR uses pins 1 and 8 (labeled NULL). A 10kΩ potentiometer is connected between these pins, with its wiper tied to VCC–. Adjusting the potentiometer balances internal input stage mismatches, reducing input offset voltage to typically <0.3mV at 25°C - a capability not found in most competing high-speed op-amps like OPA656U or LMH6629.
What thermal considerations apply to THS4021IDGNR in HVSSOP-8 package?
The THS4021IDGNR in HVSSOP-8 (DGN) has RθJA = 58.4°C/W. To maintain TJ < 125°C at full 200mA output, ambient temperature must stay below 75°C with proper PCB copper area (≥1 in² thermal pad) and airflow. Thermal derating begins above 85°C ambient - confirmed by Figure 5-29 showing reduced output swing at elevated temperatures.
Can THS4021IDGNR drive a 50Ω load effectively?
Yes - THS4021IDGNR delivers 200mA typical output current and sustains ±12.5V swing into 250Ω (Figure 5-7), implying >100mA into 50Ω. However, for sustained 50Ω driving, thermal limits require limiting duty cycle or adding heatsinking; Figure 5-30 shows output voltage collapse above 100mA sink/source at ±15V, confirming 50Ω is viable only for pulsed or short-duration signals.
