Product details
Overview
THS4140CDGN from Texas Instruments is a high-speed fully differential amplifier designed for single-ended-to-differential conversion and precision ADC driving. It delivers 160 MHz –3 dB bandwidth (±15 V supply), 450 V/µs slew rate, –79 dB third-harmonic distortion at 1 MHz, and 6.5 nV/√Hz input-referred voltage noise in an MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGN-8) package.
For engineers reviewing the THS4140CDGN datasheet, THS4140CDGN pinout, THS4140CDGN application, or THS4140CDGN equivalent, key selection criteria include differential output impedance control, VOCM pin functionality for common-mode level setting, shutdown current of 0.88 mA, and thermal management via exposed thermal pad in DGN-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The THS4140CDGN implements a true fully differential signal path from input to output using TI's BiComI complementary bipolar process, enabling balanced rejection of common-mode noise at both input and power supply terminals. Its symmetrical architecture inherently suppresses second-harmonic distortion and improves PSRR and CMRR beyond conventional op-amps.
It supports flexible biasing with VOCM pin controlling output common-mode voltage (midrail by default), and features an active-low PD (pin 6) enabling shutdown mode with 0.88 mA quiescent current and >1 MΩ output impedance. The device operates from ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual supply or 5 V to 30 V single supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 160 MHz at ±15 V supply - enables wideband signal conditioning up to UHF range without gain peaking. |
| Slew Rate | 450 V/µs - supports fast transient response for high-fidelity pulse and video applications. |
| THD @ 1 MHz | –79 dB differential-in/differential-out - ensures low distortion when driving 16-bit+ ADCs. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 6.5 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - preserves SNR in precision analog front-ends. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.88 mA - reduces system power during idle cycles without full rail disconnect. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –4 V to +4.5 V at ±5 V supply - accommodates wide input signal excursions before clipping. |
| Output Swing | ±12.9 V at ±15 V supply - delivers full-rail differential output headroom for maximum dynamic range. |
Pinout & Package
THS4140CDGN is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGN-8) package with an exposed thermal pad on the underside requiring solder connection to PCB copper for thermal dissipation. The package footprint matches industry-standard MSOP-8 but includes enhanced thermal performance via the PowerPAD™ structure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; requires matched external feedback network for gain stability. |
| 2: VOCM | Output common-mode control | Sets DC level of both outputs; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor to suppress noise coupling. |
| 3: VCC+ | Positive supply | Accepts +2.5 V to +15 V (dual) or +5 V to +30 V (single); must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 6.8 µF tantalum. |
| 4: VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Delivers inverted-phase signal relative to VOUT−; forms balanced pair for ADC interface. |
| 5: VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; symmetric layout critical to preserve CMRR above 10 MHz. |
| 6: PD | Power-down enable | Active-low shutdown control; tie to VCC− to enter low-power state (ICC(SD) = 0.88 mA). |
| 7: VCC− | Negative supply | Accepts –2.5 V to –15 V (dual); internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VCC+ keeps PD active if left floating. |
| 8: VOUT− | Negative differential output | Delivers non-inverted-phase signal relative to VOUT+; maintains 180° phase relationship for noise rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential I/O architecture | Enables true differential signaling end-to-end, rejecting coupled noise at input, output, and supply rails simultaneously. |
| VOCM pin with midrail default | Allows precise DC-level alignment of differential outputs to match ADC reference without external resistive dividers. |
| PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement | Exposes die thermal pad on package underside; requires soldered PCB copper area to maintain junction temperature ≤125°C at full load. |
| Active-low shutdown (PD) | Reduces ICC to 0.88 mA while placing outputs in high-impedance state (>1 MΩ), enabling dynamic power gating in battery-sensitive systems. |
| Wide supply range support | Operates from 5 V single supply to ±15 V dual supply - simplifies integration across mixed-voltage data acquisition platforms. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4141CDGN | Lacks PD pin; no shutdown capability; otherwise identical AC/DC specs and pinout. | Not suitable for power-gated systems requiring standby mode; preferred where always-on operation is acceptable. | Select THS4141CDGN only if shutdown functionality is unnecessary and cost minimization is prioritized. |
| THS4131CDGN | Lower 150 MHz bandwidth, higher 51 V/µs slew rate, lower 1.3 nV/√Hz noise, no PD pin. | Better for ultra-low-noise, moderate-bandwidth applications (e.g., audio ADCs); unsuitable for >150 MHz signal chains. | Choose THS4131CDGN when noise floor dominates over bandwidth, and shutdown is not required. |
Compared with THS4140CDGN, THS4141CDGN removes shutdown capability while retaining identical performance, whereas THS4131CDGN trades bandwidth for lower noise and higher slew rate-making each alternative optimal only under specific signal chain constraints.

FAQ
What is the function of the PD pin on the THS4140CDGN?
The PD (Power-Down) pin on the THS4140CDGN is an active-low control terminal that places the device into low-power shutdown mode when pulled below 1.4 V above VCC−. In this state, quiescent current drops to 0.88 mA and output impedance exceeds 1 MΩ. The THS4140CDGN remains fully functional upon exit from shutdown, with no reset or initialization delay required.
How does the VOCM pin affect THS4140CDGN output behavior?
The VOCM pin on the THS4140CDGN sets the common-mode DC voltage level of both differential outputs (VOUT+ and VOUT−). When left unconnected, it defaults to midrail (e.g., VCC/2 for single supply). Applying an external voltage allows precise alignment to ADC reference levels. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor is mandatory to prevent noise injection, as specified in the THS4140CDGN datasheet.
Can THS4140CDGN operate from a single 5-V supply?
Yes, the THS4140CDGN supports single-supply operation from 5 V to 30 V. At 5 V, its common-mode input range is –4 V to +4.5 V and output swing reaches 1.2 V to 3.8 V (single-ended) or ±1.9 V differential. VOCM defaults to 2.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with 5-V ADCs having rail-to-rail input ranges. Full AC performance is maintained per THS4140CDGN electrical characteristics tables.
Why is thermal pad soldering required for THS4140CDGN in DGN-8 package?
The THS4140CDGN in DGN-8 package integrates a PowerPAD™ thermal pad on its underside that provides direct thermal conduction from the die to the PCB. Without soldering this pad to a thermally conductive copper plane, junction temperature can exceed 125°C under load, degrading distortion performance and reliability. TI specifies θJC = 4.7°C/W and requires ≥1.71 W power rating compliance - achievable only with proper pad soldering per SLMA002 guidelines.
What resistor tolerance is recommended for THS4140CDGN feedback networks?
Texas Instruments recommends 1% or better tolerance for all external resistors in THS4140CDGN feedback and gain-setting networks. Mismatch greater than 0.1% degrades CMRR, PSRR, and second-harmonic cancellation - directly impacting THD performance. For example, at 1 MHz, 0.5% mismatch increases second-harmonic distortion by >10 dB versus matched 0.1% resistors, as validated in THS4140CDGN application notes.
