Product details
Overview
THS4151CDGKR from Texas Instruments is a high-speed fully differential amplifier optimized for ADC driving, antialias filtering, and differential signal conditioning in precision data acquisition systems. 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 operates from ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual supply or 5 V single supply.
For engineers reviewing the THS4151CDGKR datasheet, THS4151CDGKR pinout, THS4151CDGKR application, or THS4151CDGKR equivalent, key selection criteria include differential output swing (±3.6 V min at ±5 V), VOCM-controlled common-mode level setting, resistor-matched gain configuration (Rf = 390 Ω, Rg = 390 Ω for G = 1), and MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ thermal performance with θJA = 260°C/W.
Technical Context
The THS4151CDGKR 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 and suppression of even-order harmonics. Its internal architecture supports both differential-input/differential-output and single-ended-input/differential-output configurations without external phase inversion.
It features a dedicated VOCM pin that sets the output common-mode voltage independently of input signals-critical for interfacing with differential ADCs requiring precise mid-rail or reference-derived biasing. The device lacks shutdown functionality (unlike THS4150), confirmed by absence of PD pin and omission of ICC(SD) specification in its electrical characteristics table.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 150 MHz at ±5 V supply - enables baseband signal fidelity up to UHF frequencies in high-resolution ADC front-ends. |
| Slew Rate | 650 V/µs at ±15 V - supports fast transient response for wide dynamic range inputs without slewing-induced distortion. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | –83 dB at 1 MHz, VO = 2 VPP - ensures minimal spectral contamination in 12–16-bit data converter applications. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 7.6 nV/√Hz above 10 kHz - preserves SNR integrity when amplifying low-level sensor or transducer outputs. |
| Output Swing | ±3.6 V min into 800 Ω load at ±5 V - delivers full-scale differential drive capability compatible with 12-bit+ ADC inputs. |
| Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual or 5 V single - allows flexible integration across industrial, medical, and test equipment power domains. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VS– +1.5 V to VS+ –1.5 V - accommodates rail-to-rail input signal centering while maintaining linearity. |
Pinout & Package
THS4151CDGKR is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ package (DGK), featuring an exposed thermal pad on the underside requiring connection to a PCB copper pour for thermal management. The PowerPAD enhances power dissipation capability but mandates proper solder stencil design and thermal via placement per TI SLMA002/SLMA004 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; paired with VIN+ to define VID = VIN+ − VIN−; requires matched trace routing and impedance control. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | Sets average DC level of VOUT+ and VOUT−; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor to suppress noise coupling into output stage. |
| VCC+ | Positive supply | Accepts +2.5 V to +15 V in dual supply or +5 V in single supply; must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Delivers amplified signal referenced to VOCM; requires series resistor (≥20 Ω) when driving >10 pF capacitive loads to prevent oscillation. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; symmetric layout with VIN− essential for CMRR >75 dB and second-harmonic cancellation. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 6 is internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external connection or pull-up/down allowed. |
| VCC− | Negative supply | Accepts –2.5 V to –15 V in dual supply; tied to ground in single-supply mode; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; maintains precise amplitude and phase symmetry for optimal common-mode rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential I/O architecture | Enables balanced noise rejection and 6 dB higher dynamic range vs. single-ended amplifiers-critical for 16-bit+ ADC drivers. |
| VOCM-controlled output bias | Allows direct interface to ADC reference voltages (e.g., VREF/2) without level-shifting circuitry, reducing component count and board area. |
| Resistor-matched gain configuration | Supports precise gain accuracy (G = Rf/Rg) with 1% tolerance resistors; mismatch >0.1% degrades CMRR and harmonic performance. |
| High slew rate + wide bandwidth | 650 V/µs slew rate and 150 MHz bandwidth jointly support fast settling (<247 ns to 0.01%) for multiplexed or burst-mode sampling. |
| Low input voltage noise | 7.6 nV/√Hz input-referred noise preserves signal integrity in low-amplitude sensor interfaces (e.g., strain gauges, piezoelectrics). |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4131CDGKR | 150 MHz BW, 51 V/µs SR, 1.3 nV/√Hz noise, no VOCM pin - uses fixed internal common-mode bias. | Lacks VOCM flexibility; unsuitable for ADCs requiring external reference alignment or variable common-mode setup. | Select when lowest noise dominates and VOCM control is unnecessary; verify ADC input common-mode compatibility. |
| THS4561IRGET | 1.8 GHz GBW, 4000 V/µs SR, 1.6 nV/√Hz, integrated VOCM buffer, 16-pin QFN - higher performance, larger footprint. | Supports >100 MSPS ADCs and RF sampling; requires more complex layout and tighter layout constraints than MSOP-8. | Choose for >100 MSPS systems where THS4151CDGKR's 150 MHz BW is limiting; accept higher cost and thermal design effort. |
Compared with THS4151CDGKR, THS4131CDGKR trades VOCM configurability for lower noise and simpler biasing, while THS4561IRGET extends bandwidth and slew rate at the cost of increased complexity and power-making THS4151CDGKR the optimal balance for 1–10 MSPS precision data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin on the THS4151CDGKR?
The NC (No Connect) pin on the THS4151CDGKR is Pin 6, which is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating. It is not intended for grounding, pulling, or any external connection. Improper handling of this pin may disrupt internal biasing or cause unpredictable behavior. Always follow TI's recommended layout practices for the DGK package, including isolation of Pin 6 from adjacent traces and planes.
Does the THS4151CDGKR support shutdown mode?
No, the THS4151CDGKR does not support shutdown mode. Unlike the THS4150 variant-which includes a PD (Power Down) pin and specifies ICC(SD) = 1 mA-the THS4151CDGKR omits this functionality entirely. Its datasheet contains no shutdown-related specifications, timing diagrams, or pin definitions for power-down control. System-level power management must therefore be implemented externally, such as via supply sequencing or enable circuitry.
How should the VOCM pin be used in single-supply operation of the THS4151CDGKR?
In single-supply operation (e.g., VCC+ = 5 V, VCC− = GND), the VOCM pin of the THS4151CDGKR should be driven to 2.5 V-typically sourced from the ADC's internal reference (e.g., VREF/2) or a precision voltage divider. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed directly at the VOCM pin to ground to suppress noise coupling. Leaving VOCM open results in undefined output common-mode voltage and potential saturation or distortion.
What is the maximum capacitive load the THS4151CDGKR can drive without instability?
The THS4151CDGKR is internally compensated for optimal bandwidth and slew rate, making it sensitive to capacitive loading. Driving >10 pF directly at the output risks reduced phase margin, ringing, or oscillation. For loads exceeding 10 pF-including PCB trace capacitance and ADC input capacitance-a minimum 20 Ω series resistor must be placed at each output (VOUT+ and VOUT−). This isolates the amplifier from the load and restores stability while preserving signal integrity in 50 Ω transmission environments.
Can the THS4151CDGKR be used with a 3.3 V single supply?
Yes, the THS4151CDGKR supports 3.3 V single supply operation (VCC+ = 3.3 V, VCC− = GND), though performance is derated versus 5 V or ±5 V conditions. At 3.3 V, the output swing reduces to approximately ±1.2 V (2.4 VPP differential), and small-signal bandwidth drops to ~100 MHz. Ensure the VOCM voltage is set to 1.65 V and verify that the input common-mode range (VCC− +1.5 V to VCC+ –1.5 V) remains satisfied-i.e., 1.5 V to 1.8 V-for linear operation.
