Product details
Overview
THS4081IDGNR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, ultralow-power, high-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier designed for precision 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 front-end amplification in broadcast-grade video systems.
For engineers reviewing the THS4081IDGNR datasheet, THS4081IDGNR pinout, THS4081IDGNR application, or THS4081IDGNR equivalent, key selection criteria include low quiescent current (3.4 mA/channel), wide supply range (±5 V to ±15 V), MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ thermal performance, and verified video specifications including 0.01% differential gain and 0.05° differential phase.
Technical Context
The THS4081IDGNR employs a dielectrically isolated complementary bipolar process with multi-GHz fT transistors, enabling voltage-feedback architecture optimized for wide bandwidth and fast transient response. Its internal compensation targets maximum small-signal bandwidth and slew rate while requiring external series output resistance (>20 Ω) for stable operation with capacitive loads >10 pF.
It operates across dual supplies (±5 V to ±15 V) or single supply (10 V to 30 V), supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range (±13.8 V at ±15 V), and features 90 dB CMRR and 13 Ω open-loop output impedance - making it suitable for driving 75 Ω transmission lines and high-impedance ADC inputs without gain error degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal BW (−3 dB) | 175 MHz at ±15 V, G = 1 - enables full HD video baseband amplification without attenuation |
| Slew rate | 230 V/µs at ±15 V - supports clean 1080p/60 video edge transitions |
| Settling time (0.1%) | 43 ns at ±15 V, 5-V step - meets tight timing budgets in high-speed data acquisition |
| THD | −64 dBc at f = 1 MHz, RL = 150 Ω - preserves signal fidelity in composite video distribution |
| Quiescent current | 3.4 mA per channel at ±15 V - reduces thermal load in multi-amplifier video routing cards |
| Differential gain/phase | 0.01% / 0.05° at NTSC, ±15 V - satisfies SMPTE RP 168 broadcast linearity requirements |
| Output drive | 85 mA typical into 20 Ω - directly drives coaxial cables and multiple downstream loads |
Pinout & Package
The THS4081IDGNR is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGN) package with exposed thermal pad on underside - electrically isolated, solderable for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 58.4°C/W). The package supports surface-mount reflow and requires PCB layout with 5×13-mil vias under the thermal pad connected solidly to internal ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; must remain unconnected or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | High-impedance node; trace length minimized to reduce parasitic capacitance and oscillation risk |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | DC-coupled or AC-coupled signal entry point; matched impedance critical for video applications |
| 4 (VCC−) | Negative supply rail | Connect to local ±15 V or ±5 V return with dedicated 0.1 µF ceramic + 6.8 µF tantalum decoupling |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; no internal bond wire; leave floating or tie to ground if needed for mechanical stability |
| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Drive 75 Ω lines via series 75 Ω resistor; avoid direct capacitive loading >10 pF |
| 7 (VCC+) | Positive supply rail | Connect to local ±15 V or ±5 V with same decoupling as VCC−; separate traces recommended |
| 8 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; electrically isolated; no internal function |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4031CDGNR | Lower bandwidth (100 MHz), higher noise (12 nV/√Hz), 10 mA IQ | Optimized for low-noise instrumentation, not video flatness | Select when THD and differential phase are less critical than input-referred noise |
| LMH6702MA/NOPB | Higher bandwidth (1.8 GHz), higher IQ (12.5 mA), no PowerPAD™ | Targeted at RF IF amplification, not baseband video | Choose for GHz-range signal chains where thermal management is handled externally |
Compared with THS4081IDGNR, THS4031CDGNR trades bandwidth and video linearity for lower noise, while LMH6702MA/NOPB delivers extreme bandwidth at the cost of quiescent power and thermal efficiency - making THS4081IDGNR the optimal balance for industrial and broadcast video systems requiring low power, high fidelity, and robust thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the THS4081IDGNR?
The THS4081IDGNR is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the 'I' suffix in the part number. This range is validated across all electrical specifications in the datasheet, including bandwidth, THD, and output drive, making it suitable for outdoor broadcast enclosures and medical imaging chassis where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits.
Does the THS4081IDGNR require external compensation for stability?
No, the THS4081IDGNR is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. However, when driving capacitive loads exceeding 10 pF - such as coaxial cables or ADC input capacitance - a minimum 20 Ω series resistor must be placed between the THS4081IDGNR output pin and the load to maintain phase margin and prevent ringing or oscillation.
Can the THS4081IDGNR operate from a single supply?
Yes, the THS4081IDGNR supports single-supply operation from 10 V to 30 V. Its input common-mode range extends to within 1.2 V of the negative rail and its output swings to within 1.2 V of both rails (at ±5 V), enabling use in 12 V or 24 V systems with appropriate level-shifting or DC biasing of the IN+ pin.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the THS4081IDGNR?
The THS4081IDGNR has three NC (no internal connection) pins - pins 1, 5, and 8 - which contain no internal bond wires or circuitry. These pins are electrically isolated and may be left floating, tied to ground for mechanical reinforcement, or used for PCB fiducials. They must not be connected to active signals or supply rails.
How does the PowerPAD™ thermal pad on the THS4081IDGNR improve performance?
The exposed thermal pad on the THS4081IDGNR's DGN package provides direct die-to-PCB thermal conduction, achieving θJA = 58.4°C/W and 2.14 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C. When soldered to a 68 × 70 mil copper area with five 13-mil vias connected solidly to an internal ground plane, it maintains junction temperature below 125°C during continuous 85 mA output operation - preventing thermal shutdown and parameter drift.
