Product details
Overview
THS4140ID from Texas Instruments is a high-speed fully differential amplifier designed for precision signal conditioning in data acquisition systems. It delivers 160 MHz –3 dB bandwidth (±15 V supply), 450 V/µs slew rate, –79 dB third-harmonic distortion at 1 MHz, and features an active shutdown pin (PD) enabling 880 µA quiescent current in low-power mode - used as a differential ADC driver in high-resolution instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the THS4140ID datasheet, THS4140ID pinout, THS4140ID application, or THS4140ID equivalent, key selection criteria include differential output swing (±12 V @ ±15 V), VOCM-controlled common-mode level shifting, shutdown functionality, and PowerPAD™ MSOP-8 thermal performance under high-frequency load conditions.
Technical Context
The THS4140ID 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 nodes. Its symmetrical architecture inherently cancels second-harmonic distortion and improves PSRR beyond single-ended op-amps.
It supports flexible biasing via the VOCM pin, which sets the output common-mode voltage - internally defaulting to midrail in single-supply operation (e.g., 2.5 V @ 5 V). The PD pin provides active-low shutdown control, placing outputs in high-impedance state with >1 MΩ output impedance while reducing ICC to 0.88 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 160 MHz at ±15 V supply - enables baseband signal fidelity up to Nyquist frequency of 80 MSPS ADCs |
| Slew Rate | 450 V/µs - supports fast settling of large-signal transients without slewing-induced distortion |
| THD @ 1 MHz | –79 dB differential-in/differential-out - meets SFDR requirements for 14-bit+ ADC front-ends |
| Input Noise | 6.5 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level sensor signal amplification |
| Shutdown Current | 0.88 mA typical - reduces system power by >94% vs. 16 mA active ICC, critical for battery-operated DAQ |
| Common-Mode Range | –4 V to +4.5 V @ ±5 V supply - accommodates wide input signal excursions before clipping |
| Output Swing | ±12 V @ ±15 V supply into 800 Ω - delivers full-scale differential drive for 24-bit SAR or sigma-delta ADCs |
Pinout & Package
The THS4140ID is packaged in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGN) thermally enhanced package, with the exposed thermal pad electrically connected to VCC– and requiring solder connection to PCB ground or thermal plane for optimal junction temperature control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; matched impedance critical for CMRR optimization |
| 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 5 V single or ±15 V dual supply; decoupling required within 2.54 mm |
| 4: VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Delivers inverted gain-stage output; requires series resistor ≥20 Ω for >10 pF capacitive loads |
| 5: VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; must mirror VIN− trace length and layout for symmetry |
| 6: PD | Active-low shutdown | Pulled to VCC– to disable amplifier; internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VCC keeps device active if floating |
| 7: VCC− | Negative supply / thermal pad reference | Connected to exposed PowerPAD™; must be soldered to thermal plane for <125°C junction temp |
| 8: VOUT− | Negative differential output | Delivers non-inverted gain-stage output; complements VOUT+ for balanced signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential I/O architecture | Enables true differential signaling end-to-end, rejecting coupled noise on inputs, supplies, and outputs |
| Programmable output common-mode level | VOCM pin allows precise DC offset setting independent of gain, essential for ADC reference alignment |
| Integrated shutdown control | PD pin reduces ICC to 0.88 mA while placing outputs in high-Z state - eliminates need for external enable logic |
| PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement | MSOP-8 DGN package achieves θJC = 4.7°C/W, enabling 1.71 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 5 V single supply to ±15 V dual supply - supports legacy industrial and modern low-voltage systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4141ID | No PD pin; fixed operation only; identical bandwidth, noise, and distortion specs | Used where continuous operation is mandatory and power cycling is not required | Select THS4141ID when shutdown functionality is unnecessary and board space allows same footprint |
| THS4131IDGN | 150 MHz bandwidth, 51 V/µs slew rate, 1.3 nV/√Hz noise - lower speed but ultra-low noise | Preferred for sub-MHz precision measurement where SNR dominates over speed | Choose THS4131IDGN when optimizing for <2 nV/√Hz noise at the expense of 10 MHz bandwidth margin |
Compared with THS4141ID, THS4140ID adds shutdown control at minor cost in layout complexity; versus THS4131IDGN, it trades 1.3 nV/√Hz noise for 10× higher slew rate and 10 MHz extra bandwidth - making THS4140ID optimal for mixed-signal systems demanding both speed and moderate noise floor.

FAQ
What is the function of the PD pin on the THS4140ID?
The PD (Power-Down) pin on the THS4140ID is an active-low control that places the amplifier in low-power shutdown mode when pulled below 1.4 V above VCC–. In this state, quiescent current drops to 0.88 mA and outputs enter high-impedance (>1 MΩ), preserving signal integrity in multi-channel systems. THS4140ID requires no external pull-up since an internal 50 kΩ resistor connects PD to VCC.
How does the VOCM pin affect THS4140ID performance in single-supply operation?
In single-supply operation (e.g., 5 V), the VOCM pin on the THS4140ID sets the common-mode voltage of both differential outputs - defaulting to midrail (2.5 V) if left unconnected. Applying a clean reference (e.g., ADC VREF via 0.1 µF bypass) ensures optimal common-mode alignment, minimizing offset errors and maximizing dynamic range when interfacing with differential ADCs. THS4140ID maintains full AC performance across VOCM voltages from –3.77 V to +4.3 V.
Can THS4140ID drive capacitive loads directly, and what precautions apply?
The THS4140ID is not recommended for direct capacitive loading >10 pF due to potential phase-margin degradation and high-frequency ringing. To maintain stability, a series resistor (≥20 Ω) must be placed between each output (VOUT+, VOUT−) and the load - especially critical in 50 Ω transmission lines where 50 Ω series termination also provides impedance matching. THS4140ID's internal compensation prioritizes bandwidth and slew rate, making external isolation essential for robust capacitive drive.
What thermal management is required for THS4140ID in the DGN package?
The THS4140ID in the MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGN) package requires soldering of its exposed thermal pad to a dedicated PCB copper pour connected to ground or a thermal plane. With θJC = 4.7°C/W, failure to thermally connect the pad risks exceeding the 125°C maximum junction temperature under 1.71 W dissipation. THS4140ID's PowerPAD™ design mandates thermal vias under the pad and ≥1 in² copper area for reliable operation at full rated power across –40°C to +85°C.
How does THS4140ID differ from THS4141ID in pin configuration and system impact?
The THS4140ID includes a dedicated PD pin (Pin 6) for shutdown control, whereas THS4141ID replaces it with NC (no connect). This makes THS4140ID suitable for power-gated systems like portable DAQ or battery-powered medical devices, reducing idle current by >94%. Both share identical electrical specs, package, and pinout except Pin 6 - so THS4140ID can replace THS4141ID in existing layouts only if PD is tied to VCC– or controlled externally.
