Product details
Overview
THS4131CDGNR from Texas Instruments is a fully differential input/output amplifier optimized for high-speed, low-noise signal conditioning in precision analog front-ends. It delivers 170 MHz small-signal bandwidth, 51 V/µs slew rate, –102 dBc THD at 250 kHz, and 1.25 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, operating from ±2.5 V to ±15 V supplies. It serves as a differential ADC driver in medical ultrasound and instrumentation systems requiring wide dynamic range and high common-mode rejection.
For engineers reviewing the THS4131CDGNR datasheet, THS4131CDGNR pinout, THS4131CDGNR application, or THS4131CDGNR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, HVSSOP-8 package details, functional mode distinctions versus THS4130, VOCM-controlled output common-mode setting, and real-world design implications of its 95 dB CMRR at 800 kHz and 1.7 pA/√Hz input current noise.
Technical Context
The THS4131CDGNR implements a true fully differential signal path with matched internal gain stages and a dedicated VOCM input that directly sets output common-mode voltage-enabling precise level shifting without external resistive dividers. Its complementary bipolar process supports rail-to-rail output swing (±11.2 V at ±15 V supply) and maintains 95 dB CMRR up to 800 kHz.
No power-down pin is integrated; unlike the THS4130CDGNR, the THS4131CDGNR operates continuously and draws 13 mA quiescent current at ±15 V. Its differential input resistance is 10 kΩ, common-mode input resistance is 215 MΩ, and it drives 800 Ω loads with <61 ns settling to 0.01%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 170 MHz at ±15 V supply - enables baseband signal amplification up to UHF frequencies without gain peaking. |
| Slew rate | 51 V/µs - supports clean reproduction of fast transient signals such as ultrasound pulses or radar IF waveforms. |
| Total harmonic distortion | –102 dBc at 2 VPP, 250 kHz - ensures minimal spectral contamination in high-fidelity data acquisition paths. |
| Input voltage noise | 1.25 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - critical for preserving SNR in low-amplitude sensor interfaces like piezoelectric transducers. |
| Common-mode rejection ratio | 95 dB at 800 kHz - suppresses coupled EMI and ground bounce in mixed-signal PCB layouts with shared return paths. |
| Supply voltage range | ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual supply - accommodates both low-power portable systems and high-voltage industrial signal chains. |
| Output voltage swing | ±11.2 V at ±15 V, RL = 1 kΩ - maximizes usable dynamic range before clipping in high-resolution ADC driver applications. |
Pinout & Package
HVSSOP-8 (PowerPAD™) package with exposed thermal pad on underside; requires connection to large copper plane for thermal management. Pin 1 = VIN+, Pin 2 = VOCM, Pin 3 = VCC−, Pin 4 = VOUT−, Pin 5 = VIN−, Pin 6 = VOUT+, Pin 7 = NC, Pin 8 = VCC+.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN+ | Differential positive input | Accepts one polarity of fully differential or single-ended input; referenced to VOCM for common-mode control. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode voltage control | DC voltage applied here sets midpoint of VOUT+ and VOUT−; floating defaults to (VCC+ + VCC−)/2. |
| VCC− | Negative supply rail | Must be connected to stable negative supply; powers internal bias circuitry and output stage. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output paired with VOUT+; imbalance degrades CMRR and increases even-order harmonics. |
| VIN− | Differential negative input | Completes differential input pair; matched impedance to VIN+ essential for optimal balance. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Primary output node; used with VOUT− to drive differential ADC inputs or transmission lines. |
| NC | No connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per TI specification to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk. |
| VCC+ | Positive supply rail | Supplies core amplifier and output buffers; bypassing with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin is mandatory. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4131IDGNR | Same silicon, extended –40°C to +85°C temperature grade; identical electrical specs and pinout. | Required for industrial or automotive ambient environments; not suitable for commercial-grade cost-sensitive designs. | Select THS4131IDGNR when operating outside 0°C–70°C ambient range; otherwise THS4131CDGNR suffices. |
| THS4561IRGET | Lower 1.05 nV/√Hz noise, 2.1 GHz GBW, but higher 22 mA ICC; uses 16-pin QFN vs 8-pin HVSSOP. | Better suited for RF sampling receivers or JESD204B ADC interfaces demanding wider bandwidth and lower noise. | Choose THS4561IRGET only if >500 MHz small-signal BW or sub-1.1 nV/√Hz noise is required; THS4131CDGNR remains optimal for DC–170 MHz precision ADC drivers. |
Compared with THS4131IDGNR, the THS4131CDGNR offers identical performance at lower cost for commercial-temperature applications; compared with THS4561IRGET, it trades bandwidth and noise for lower power, smaller footprint, and proven stability in legacy 800-kHz antialiasing filter designs.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between THS4131CDGNR and THS4130CDGNR?
The THS4131CDGNR lacks a power-down (PD) pin, whereas the THS4130CDGNR includes an active-low PD input enabling shutdown mode with 860 µA quiescent current. THS4131CDGNR operates continuously at 13 mA (±15 V), making it simpler for always-on signal chains but unsuitable for battery-powered intermittent-use systems. Both share identical bandwidth, noise, and distortion specs.
Does THS4131CDGNR require external resistors for gain configuration?
Yes, THS4131CDGNR uses external feedback (RF) and gain-setting (RG) resistors to define closed-loop gain and maintain output balance. Recommended values include RF = RG = 390 Ω for G = 1 V/V, and 1% tolerance or better is required to preserve CMRR and minimize even-order distortion. The VOCM pin sets output common-mode independently of gain network.
Can THS4131CDGNR drive a 50-Ω coaxial cable directly?
No-direct 50-Ω loading causes instability due to capacitive reactance and reduced phase margin. TI recommends adding a 20–50 Ω series resistor at each output (VOUT+ and VOUT−) to isolate capacitance and enable proper source termination. This preserves 170 MHz bandwidth while preventing ringing in transmission-line applications.
What is the maximum safe continuous output current for THS4131CDGNR?
The THS4131CDGNR supports up to ±85 mA peak output current into 7 Ω loads at ±15 V supply, but continuous DC current is limited by thermal dissipation. With HVSSOP-8 PowerPAD™ mounted on ≥2 in² copper, sustained 45 mA per output is achievable. Exceeding this without adequate heatsinking risks junction temperature exceeding 125°C, triggering reliability degradation.
How does VOCM pin behavior affect THS4131CDGNR performance in single-ended input configurations?
In single-ended input use, the VOCM pin still defines the output common-mode voltage-critical for matching ADC reference levels. If left floating, VOCM defaults to (VCC+ + VCC−)/2, which may misalign with the ADC's required common-mode input range. Applying a precise voltage (e.g., 2.5 V for a 5-V ADC) via low-impedance source ensures optimal SNR and prevents clipping of either VOUT+ or VOUT−.
