Product details
Overview
THS4081CDR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, ultralow-power, high-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for video and communication signal conditioning. It delivers 175 MHz bandwidth (G = 1), 230 V/µs slew rate, 43 ns settling time (0.1%), 85 mA output drive, and −64 dBc THD at 1 MHz into 150 Ω - enabling high-fidelity analog video distribution and broadband signal amplification in ±5 V to ±15 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the THS4081CDR datasheet, THS4081CDR pinout, THS4081CDR application, or THS4081CDR equivalent, key selection criteria include low quiescent current (3.4 mA/channel), differential gain/phase accuracy (0.01%/0.05°), wide supply range, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and thermal performance with PowerPAD™ option.
Technical Context
The THS4081CDR employs a dielectrically isolated complementary bipolar process with GHz fT transistors, enabling voltage-feedback architecture with high open-loop gain (>10 V/mV) and stable unity-gain operation. Its internal compensation targets maximum bandwidth and slew rate, requiring external series output resistance (>20 Ω) when driving >10 pF capacitive loads to maintain phase margin.
It supports dual-supply (±5 V to ±15 V) or single-supply (10 V to 30 V) operation, with rail-to-rail input common-mode range (±13.8 V at ±15 V) and output swing up to ±13.8 V into 1 kΩ. CMRR exceeds 78 dB across temperature, and PSRR remains >79 dB up to 100 kHz.

Pinout & Package
The THS4081CDR is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™ option not applicable to CDR suffix; DGN is separate part). Pin 1 is NC (no internal connection), supporting layout flexibility and noise isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; may be left floating or grounded for EMI reduction |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; sensitive to stray capacitance |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance node; requires matched trace length to IN− for common-mode rejection |
| 4 (VCC−) | Negative supply rail | Return path for internal biasing; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 6.8 µF tantalum |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; electrically isolated; no routing required |
| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking 85 mA; requires series resistor ≥20 Ω for >10 pF loads |
| 7 (VCC+) | Positive supply rail | Primary power input; decoupling identical to VCC−; shared ground plane recommended |
| 8 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; maintains symmetry; may be tied to ground if needed for mechanical stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4031CD | Lower bandwidth (100 MHz), higher noise (13 nV/√Hz), 100 mA IO, 10 mA ICC | Better suited for low-noise, medium-speed precision amplification where power is less constrained | Select THS4031CD when THD < −75 dBc and 100 MHz BW suffice, and higher supply current is acceptable |
| THS4051CD | 70 MHz bandwidth, 120 V/µs slew rate, 3.5 mA ICC, −58 dBc THD at 1 MHz | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth video and general-purpose analog signal paths | Choose THS4051CD for legacy SD video or industrial sensor interfaces where 70 MHz BW meets requirement |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the THS4081CDR?
The THS4081CDR supports dual-supply operation up to ±16.5 V absolute maximum, with recommended operating range of ±5 V to ±15 V. Exceeding ±16.5 V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings. At ±15 V, it delivers full 175 MHz bandwidth and 230 V/µs slew rate - the rated performance envelope.
Does the THS4081CDR require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the THS4081CDR is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. However, its compensation is optimized for bandwidth and slew rate, making it susceptible to oscillation when driving >10 pF capacitive loads. A minimum 20 Ω series resistor at the output is required in such cases to restore phase margin - confirmed in the official datasheet Figure 41.
Can the THS4081CDR drive a 75 Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, the THS4081CDR can drive a 75 Ω coaxial cable directly when configured with appropriate series output termination. With 85 mA output current capability and ±13.8 V swing into 1 kΩ, it supports 75 Ω source termination (e.g., 75 Ω resistor in series with OUT) while maintaining signal integrity and minimizing reflections - a standard practice validated in video applications.
What is the thermal performance difference between THS4081CDR and THS4081CDGN?
The THS4081CDR uses standard SOIC-8 (D) packaging with θJA = 167 °C/W (JEDEC Low-K board), limiting power dissipation to 740 mW at TA = 25 °C. In contrast, THS4081CDGN uses PowerPAD™ MSOP-8 (DGN) with θJA = 58.4 °C/W and θJC = 4.7 °C/W, enabling 2.14 W dissipation - a 2.9× improvement ideal for high-output continuous operation.
Is the THS4081CDR suitable for single-supply operation?
Yes, the THS4081CDR supports single-supply operation from 10 V to 30 V. Its input common-mode range extends to within 1.2 V of V− and V+, and output swing reaches within 1.2 V of rails under typical loads. For 24 V single-supply use, design considerations include biasing the IN+ node to mid-rail and verifying PSRR (>79 dB) remains sufficient at target frequencies.
