Product details
Overview
THS4150CDGN from Texas Instruments is a high-speed fully differential amplifier optimized for ADC driving, antialias filtering, and differential signal conditioning. It delivers 150 MHz –3 dB bandwidth (±5 V supply), 650 V/µs slew rate (±15 V), –83 dB total harmonic distortion at 1 MHz, 7.6 nV/√Hz input-referred voltage noise, and features shutdown control (ICC(SD) = 1.3 mA). It operates from ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual supply or 5 V single supply, targeting precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the THS4150CDGN datasheet, THS4150CDGN pinout, THS4150CDGN application, or THS4150CDGN equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in ADC interface and level-shifting circuits, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The THS4150CDGN implements a true fully differential signal path from input to output using TI's BiComI complementary bipolar process, enabling balanced output common-mode noise rejection and reduced second-harmonic distortion. Its internal architecture supports both differential-input/differential-output and single-ended-input/differential-output configurations with gain set by external resistor networks (e.g., Rf = 390 Ω, Rg = 390 Ω for G = 1).
It integrates a dedicated VOCM pin for precise output common-mode level control - internally biased to midrail when unconnected - and a PD (power-down) pin enabling shutdown mode with 1.3 mA quiescent current. The device maintains stable operation across 0°C to 70°C (C-suffix), with thermal design dependent on MSOP PowerPAD™ package mounting to a thermally conductive plane.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 150 MHz at ±5 V supply - enables wideband signal conditioning up to ~75 MHz Nyquist for high-speed ADCs |
| Slew Rate | 650 V/µs at ±15 V - supports fast transient response for 12–14-bit ADC drivers without slewing-induced distortion |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | –83 dB at 1 MHz, VO = 2 VPP - ensures low spurious content in precision measurement front-ends |
| Input Voltage Noise | 7.6 nV/√Hz above 10 kHz - preserves SNR in medium-bandwidth sensor and instrumentation signal chains |
| Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual or 5 V single - allows flexible integration into mixed-supply data acquisition systems |
| Shutdown Current | 1.3 mA at ±5 V - reduces system power during idle cycles without compromising wake-up latency (1.1 µs) |
| Output Swing | ±3.6 V (min) at ±5 V supply - delivers >7 VPP differential output into 800 Ω load for full-scale ADC input drive |
Pinout & Package
THS4150CDGN is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ package (DGN), featuring an exposed thermal pad on the underside that must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal management. The PowerPAD™ reduces θJA to 58.4°C/W and enables 1.71 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SHUTDOWN) | Power-down control input | Active-low logic input; pulls output to high-impedance state and reduces ICC to 1.3 mA when asserted |
| 2 (VIN−) | Inverting input terminal | Differential input node; forms balanced pair with VIN+ for common-mode noise rejection |
| 3 (VOCM) | Output common-mode voltage reference | Sets DC offset of both outputs; defaults to VCC/2 if left open; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor for stability |
| 4 (VCC+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.5 V to +15 V in dual supply or +5 V in single supply; requires local decoupling |
| 5 (VIN+) | Non-inverting input terminal | Differential input node; matched impedance and layout critical to preserve CMRR and harmonic performance |
| 6 (PD / NC) | Power-down enable (THS4150) / No-connect (THS4151) | Pin 6 is functional SHUTDOWN on THS4150CDGN; unused on THS4151 variants - verify part marking |
| 7 (VCC−) | Negative supply rail | Accepts –2.5 V to –15 V in dual supply; tied to ground in single-supply mode with VOCM = VCC/2 |
| 8 (VOUT−) | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; balanced swing required for optimal THD and SFDR performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential I/O architecture | Enables common-mode noise rejection at both input and output, improving immunity in noisy industrial environments |
| Programmable output common-mode level | VOCM pin allows direct interfacing to ADC reference inputs (e.g., Vref), eliminating level-shifting components |
| Internal shutdown with fast recovery | 1.1 µs shutdown-to-active delay supports burst-mode signal acquisition and power-gated system designs |
| Optimized for capacitive load driving | Series 20 Ω output isolation resistor recommended for >10 pF loads - prevents ringing in PCB traces and ADC input filters |
| Resistor-matching sensitivity guidance | 1% tolerance feedback/resistor network required to maintain >75 dB CMRR and minimize second-harmonic distortion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4131CDGN | Lower slew rate (51 V/µs), lower noise (1.3 nV/√Hz), same 150 MHz BW - optimized for low-noise, moderate-speed precision | Better suited for 16-bit/250 kSPS delta-sigma ADCs where THD < –100 dB at 10 kHz matters more than speed | Select THS4131CDGN when input-referred noise dominates system SNR budget and slew-limited distortion is not a concern |
| THS4141CDGN | Higher slew rate (450 V/µs), wider BW (160 MHz), higher noise (6.5 nV/√Hz) - trades noise for speed and transient fidelity | Preferred for >100 MSPS pipeline ADCs requiring sub-5 ns settling to 0.01% with large-signal steps | Choose THS4141CDGN when driving ultra-high-speed ADCs where large-signal linearity and rise-time dominate over integrated noise |
Compared with THS4150CDGN, THS4131CDGN prioritizes ultralow noise at the expense of slew rate, making it ideal for precision dc-coupled measurement; THS4141CDGN emphasizes transient fidelity and bandwidth, better matching wideband communication or video signal paths - all three share identical DGN package and pinout.

FAQ
What is the function of the VOCM pin on the THS4150CDGN?
The VOCM pin on the THS4150CDGN sets the common-mode voltage level of both differential outputs. When left unconnected, it defaults to midrail (VCC/2); when driven externally - e.g., by an ADC's Vref output - it precisely centers the output swing for optimal dynamic range. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor is required for stability, especially at high frequencies.
Does the THS4150CDGN support single-supply operation?
Yes, the THS4150CDGN supports true single-supply operation from 5 V. In this configuration, VCC− is connected to ground, VCC+ to 5 V, and VOCM is internally biased to 2.5 V. The input common-mode range extends from VS− + 1.5 V to VS+ − 1.5 V, allowing 0–3.3 V single-ended inputs with proper biasing.
How does the shutdown feature work on the THS4150CDGN?
The THS4150CDGN uses Pin 1 (SHUTDOWN) as an active-low control: pulling it low disables the output stage, places VOUT+ and VOUT− in high-impedance state, and reduces quiescent current to 1.3 mA. Recovery time from shutdown is 1.1 µs, enabling rapid power cycling in burst-mode acquisition systems without sacrificing signal integrity.
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for unity gain with the THS4150CDGN?
Texas Instruments specifies 390 Ω as the standard feedback resistor (Rf) value for unity-gain (G = 1) configuration with the THS4150CDGN, paired with a matched 390 Ω gain-setting resistor (Rg). This value balances bandwidth, stability, and distortion performance per the datasheet's "Recommended Resistor Values" table and typical application circuits.
Can the THS4150CDGN drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
No - the THS4150CDGN should not drive a 50 Ω load directly due to potential instability and degraded distortion. For 50 Ω systems, TI recommends placing a 20 Ω series resistor at each output (VOUT+ and VOUT−) to isolate capacitive loading and provide source-end impedance matching, as validated in the "Driving a Capacitive Load" application note (Figure 34).
