Product details
Overview
THS4140CDGNR from Texas Instruments is a high-speed fully differential amplifier designed for precision signal conditioning in ADC driver, antialiasing, and differential transmitter/receiver applications. It delivers 160 MHz –3 dB bandwidth (±15 V), 450 V/µs slew rate, –79 dB third-harmonic distortion at 1 MHz, 6.5 nV/√Hz input noise, and operates from ±2.5 V to ±15 V or 5 V single supply.
For engineers reviewing the THS4140CDGNR datasheet, THS4140CDGNR pinout, THS4140CDGNR application, or THS4140CDGNR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package mapping, confirmed shutdown functionality (ICC(SD) = 0.88 mA), differential I/O architecture details, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The THS4140CDGNR implements a true fully differential signal path-differential input to differential output-enabling balanced common-mode noise rejection and intrinsic second-harmonic cancellation. Its BiComI complementary bipolar process supports wide supply range (±2.5 V to ±15 V) and high dynamic performance without external compensation.
It features an active-low power-down (PD) pin that places outputs in high-impedance state (ZOUT > 1 MΩ) with quiescent current reduced to 0.88 mA, while VOCM pin allows precise DC level control of differential outputs independent of gain configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 160 MHz at ±15 V supply - enables baseband signal integrity up to UHF frequencies in data acquisition systems |
| Slew Rate | 450 V/µs - supports fast transient response for high-fidelity pulse and video signal conditioning |
| THD @ 1 MHz | –79 dB (differential in/out, VO = 2 VPP) - meets SNR requirements for 14-bit+ ADC interfaces |
| Input Noise | 6.5 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz - preserves low-level signal fidelity in sensor front-ends and instrumentation |
| Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±15 V or 5 V single supply - accommodates legacy industrial rails and modern low-voltage systems |
| Shutdown Current | 0.88 mA - reduces system standby power in battery-backed or energy-conscious designs |
| CMRR | 84 dB (typ, full temp range) - rejects coupled noise in noisy industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
THS4140CDGNR is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGN) package with exposed thermal pad on underside for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package measures 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm and requires soldering of the thermal pad to a PCB copper pour for reliable junction temperature management (θJC = 4.7 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; matched impedance critical for CMRR and harmonic cancellation |
| 2: VOCM | Output common-mode control | Sets DC offset of both outputs; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor to suppress noise coupling |
| 3: VCC+ | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.5 V to +15 V (dual) or +5 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−; requires series resistor ≥20 Ω for >10 pF capacitive loads |
| 5: VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; symmetric layout with VIN− essential for balanced operation |
| 6: PD | Power-down control | Active-low enable; pulled to VCC− to enter shutdown (ICC(SD) = 0.88 mA) |
| 7: VCC− | Negative supply rail | Accepts –2.5 V to –15 V (dual); internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VCC+ if left floating |
| 8: VOUT− | Negative differential output | Delivers non-inverted-phase signal relative to VOUT+; complements VOUT+ for true differential signaling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential I/O architecture | Enables intrinsic common-mode noise rejection and second-harmonic cancellation without external components |
| Programmable output common-mode voltage | VOCM pin allows precise DC bias setting for seamless interfacing with differential ADC reference inputs |
| Integrated shutdown mode | Reduces ICC to 0.88 mA while placing outputs in high-Z state (>1 MΩ), enabling dynamic power gating |
| Thermally enhanced PowerPAD™ package | MSOP-8 DGN package with exposed thermal pad achieves θJC = 4.7 °C/W for sustained high-output drive |
| Wide supply flexibility | Operates from 5 V single supply (VOCM = VCC/2) or ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual supplies - simplifies system rail consolidation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4141CDGNR | No shutdown pin (PD terminal omitted); otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout | Preferred where continuous operation is required and power gating is unnecessary | Select THS4141CDGNR only when shutdown functionality is not needed - avoids unused PD pin routing |
| THS4131CDGNR | Lower bandwidth (150 MHz), higher slew rate (51 V/µs), lower input noise (1.3 nV/√Hz), no PD pin | Better suited for ultra-low-noise, moderate-bandwidth applications (e.g., precision instrumentation) | Choose THS4131CDGNR when noise dominates over speed; avoid if >150 MHz signal content or shutdown is required |
Compared with THS4141CDGNR, THS4140CDGNR adds power-down capability at identical performance; versus THS4131CDGNR, it trades 1.3 nV/√Hz noise for 450 V/µs slew rate and integrated shutdown - making THS4140CDGNR optimal for high-dynamic-range, power-aware ADC drivers.

FAQ
What is the function of the PD pin on the THS4140CDGNR?
The PD (Power-Down) pin on the THS4140CDGNR is an active-low control input that places the device into low-power shutdown mode when pulled below 1.4 V above VCC−. In shutdown, quiescent current drops to 0.88 mA and outputs enter high-impedance state (>1 MΩ). Leaving PD unconnected defaults to active operation due to an internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VCC+. THS4140CDGNR uses this pin to enable dynamic power management in portable or thermally constrained systems.
Does the THS4140CDGNR require external compensation capacitors?
No, the THS4140CDGNR is internally compensated for unity-gain stability across its specified supply and load conditions. However, when driving capacitive loads >10 pF, a series resistor (≥20 Ω) must be added at each output to maintain phase margin and prevent ringing. This is not compensation but isolation - the THS4140CDGNR's compensation network remains fixed and optimized for 800 Ω differential loads per the datasheet test conditions.
How does the VOCM pin affect THS4140CDGNR output behavior?
The VOCM pin on the THS4140CDGNR sets the common-mode DC voltage of both differential outputs (VOUT+ and VOUT−). When left unconnected, VOCM defaults to mid-rail (e.g., 2.5 V on 5 V supply). Applying an external voltage (e.g., ADC's VREF) directly configures output swing centering - critical for maximizing dynamic range when interfacing with differential-input ADCs. THS4140CDGNR maintains full small-signal bandwidth up to the VOCM input frequency limit, and a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor is mandatory for noise immunity.
Can the THS4140CDGNR operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
No - the THS4140CDGNR minimum total supply voltage is 5 V (single supply) or ±2.5 V (dual supply), per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. A 3.3 V single supply falls outside specification and risks degraded bandwidth, increased distortion, and potential output clipping. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's THS4561 or THS4551, which are explicitly characterized down to 2.7 V. THS4140CDGNR requires ≥5 V to meet datasheet performance guarantees.
What thermal considerations apply to the THS4140CDGNR's DGN package?
The THS4140CDGNR's MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ (DGN) package requires soldering the exposed thermal pad to a dedicated PCB copper pour connected to internal/external ground planes. Failure to do so raises junction temperature beyond 125°C under load, causing distortion increase and reliability risk. With proper thermal pad connection, θJC = 4.7 °C/W enables 1.71 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C. THS4140CDGNR thermal design must include ≥2 oz copper, multiple vias under the pad, and minimal trace length to thermal mass.
