Product details
Overview
THS4140IDGK from Texas Instruments is a high-speed fully differential amplifier in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ package, delivering 160 MHz –3 dB bandwidth (±15 V supply), 450 V/µs slew rate, and –79 dB third-harmonic distortion at 1 MHz. It functions as a precision single-ended-to-differential converter and ADC driver in high-fidelity data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the THS4140IDGK datasheet, THS4140IDGK pinout, THS4140IDGK application, or THS4140IDGK equivalent, key selection criteria include differential output impedance matching, VOCM pin biasing for DC level control, shutdown current of 0.88 mA, and thermal management via the exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad.
Technical Context
The THS4140IDGK implements a true fully differential signal path-differential input to differential output-enabling balanced noise rejection and cancellation of even-order harmonics. Its internal architecture supports precise common-mode output voltage control via the VOCM pin and features an active-low power-down (PD) terminal that reduces quiescent current to 0.88 mA while raising output impedance above 1 MΩ.
It operates across a wide supply range (±2.5 V to ±15 V dual or 5 V single supply), maintains >75 dB CMRR over temperature, and achieves 6.5 nV/√Hz input-referred voltage noise at 10 kHz-critical for low-noise, high-SFDR signal chains feeding precision ADCs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 160 MHz at ±15 V supply - enables baseband signal conditioning up to UHF frequencies without gain peaking. |
| Slew Rate | 450 V/µs - supports fast settling of large-swing differential signals into 800 Ω loads with 96 ns to 0.1%. |
| THD @ 1 MHz | –79 dB (differential in/out, VO = 2 VPP) - ensures minimal harmonic contamination in ADC front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 6.5 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - preserves SNR in high-resolution (≥16-bit) sampling systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.88 mA - reduces system power during idle cycles without compromising wake-up latency. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –4 V to +4.5 V at ±5 V supply - accommodates rail-to-rail input signals when referenced to mid-supply. |
| Output Swing | ±12 V at ±15 V supply - delivers full-scale differential drive capability for 24-bit SAR and sigma-delta ADCs. |
Pinout & Package
The THS4140IDGK is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGK) package with an exposed thermal pad on the underside, requiring solder connection to a PCB copper pour for thermal integrity and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; matched impedance critical for CMRR and harmonic cancellation. |
| 2: VOCM | Common-mode output voltage 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 (single); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 4: VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Delivers inverted-phase signal relative to VOUT−; symmetric routing essential for skew control. |
| 5: VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; must mirror VIN− trace length and impedance for optimal balance. |
| 6: PD | Power-down enable (active low) | Pulls to VCC− to enter shutdown; internal 50 kΩ pull-up to VCC keeps device active if left floating. |
| 7: VCC− | Negative supply | Accepts –2.5 V to –15 V (dual); connects to ground in single-supply configurations. |
| 8: VOUT− | Negative differential output | Delivers non-inverted-phase signal relative to VOUT+; forms true complementary pair with VOUT+. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential I/O architecture | Enables 2× dynamic range vs. single-ended amps by splitting 2 VPP signal into two 1 VPP anti-phase outputs. |
| Active-low shutdown (PD) pin | Reduces ICC to 0.88 mA while placing outputs in high-Z state (>1 MΩ), enabling rapid power cycling. |
| VOCM-controlled output common-mode | Allows precise DC alignment of differential outputs to match ADC reference voltage (e.g., AVDD/2). |
| PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement | Exposes die thermal pad on package underside; requires soldered copper area for junction temp ≤125°C at 125°C ambient. |
| High PSRR & CMRR | 70 dB PSRR and >75 dB CMRR up to 10 MHz - rejects supply ripple and board-level noise in mixed-signal systems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4141IDGK | No shutdown (PD) pin; identical bandwidth, noise, and distortion specs. | Used where continuous operation is required and power cycling is unnecessary. | Select THS4141IDGK only if shutdown functionality is not needed-pinout differs (NC instead of PD on Pin 6). |
| THS4131IDGK | 150 MHz bandwidth, 51 V/µs slew rate, 1.3 nV/√Hz noise - lower speed but superior noise performance. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise, moderate-bandwidth (<100 MHz) precision measurement. | Choose THS4131IDGK when noise dominates over speed; avoid for >120 MHz signal paths due to bandwidth limitation. |
Compared with THS4141IDGK, THS4140IDGK adds power-down control at the cost of one dedicated pin; compared with THS4131IDGK, it trades 4.8× higher input noise for 7.4× faster slew rate and 10 MHz more bandwidth-making THS4140IDGK optimal for speed-critical ADC drivers.

FAQ
What is the function of the PD pin on the THS4140IDGK?
The PD (Power-Down) pin on the THS4140IDGK is an active-low control input that places the amplifier in a low-power state when pulled below 1.4 V above VCC−. In shutdown, THS4140IDGK draws only 0.88 mA and its outputs enter a high-impedance state (>1 MΩ), enabling selective channel power gating in multi-channel systems without affecting adjacent circuitry.
How should the VOCM pin be configured for optimal THS4140IDGK performance?
The VOCM pin on the THS4140IDGK sets the DC common-mode level of both differential outputs and must be bypassed with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground. For single-supply operation, connect VOCM to VCC/2; for dual-supply, tie it to a stable reference matching the ADC's common-mode input requirement-ensuring THS4140IDGK's output swing aligns precisely with the converter's input range.
Does the THS4140IDGK require external compensation for stability?
No, the THS4140IDGK is internally compensated for unity-gain stability across its specified supply range. However, when driving capacitive loads >10 pF, a 20 Ω series resistor must be added at each output to maintain phase margin and prevent ringing-this isolation also provides source-end impedance matching in 50 Ω transmission environments used with THS4140IDGK.
What thermal considerations apply to the THS4140IDGK's PowerPAD™ package?
The THS4140IDGK's DGK package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to ground or a dedicated thermal plane. Without this connection, junction temperature can exceed 125°C under load, degrading distortion performance and long-term reliability. TI recommends ≥200 mm² of 2-oz copper with ≥4 thermal vias directly beneath the pad for operation at 85°C ambient.
Can the THS4140IDGK operate from a single 5-V supply?
Yes, the THS4140IDGK supports single-supply operation from 5 V. In this configuration, VCC− is connected to ground, VOCM is biased to 2.5 V (mid-supply), and the input common-mode range extends from –4 V to +4.5 V-allowing direct interfacing with sensors or DACs referenced to the same 5-V rail. Output swing reaches ±3.7 V differential under these conditions, sufficient for driving most 5-V differential ADCs.
