Product details
Overview
THS4222DGKR from Texas Instruments is a dual, rail-to-rail output, voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for high-speed, low-distortion signal conditioning in data converter interfaces and video systems. It delivers 230 MHz bandwidth (G=1), 975 V/µs slew rate, −90 dBc HD2 and −100 dBc HD3 at 5 MHz (RL = 499 Ω), and ±4.8 V output swing into 2 kΩ on ±5 V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the THS4222DGKR datasheet, THS4222DGKR pinout, THS4222DGKR application, or THS4222DGKR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, DGK package terminal mapping, dual-channel video/ADC driver use cases, and validated alternative options for low-voltage, high-fidelity analog signal paths.
Technical Context
The THS4222DGKR implements a voltage-feedback architecture with complementary bipolar input stage and rail-to-rail Class-AB output stage, enabling stable unity-gain operation and minimal phase nonlinearity across 230 MHz bandwidth. Its differential input resistance is 33 MΩ, with 1 pF common-mode and 0.5 pF differential input capacitance.
It supports single-supply operation from 3 V to 15 V and dual-supply operation from ±1.35 V to ±7.5 V, maintaining 40 MHz 0.1 dB flat bandwidth (G=2) and 0.007% differential gain/0.007° differential phase in NTSC/PAL video applications with 150 Ω load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal BW (G=1) | 230 MHz - enables baseband signal amplification up to UHF without gain peaking or instability |
| Slew rate | 975 V/µs - supports full-scale transient response for 12-bit+ ADC drivers at >10 MSPS |
| HD2 / HD3 @ 5 MHz | −90 dBc / −100 dBc - preserves SFDR >90 dB in wideband receiver front ends |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | ±4.8 V into 2 kΩ - maximizes dynamic range when driving SAR or pipeline ADC references |
| Quiescent current | 14 mA per channel - balances speed and power for portable instrumentation and imaging systems |
| Input voltage noise | 13 nV/√Hz @ 1 MHz - limits contribution to system noise floor in precision sensor interfaces |
| Common-mode range | VS− +1.1 V to VS+ −1.1 V - accommodates DC-coupled inputs in single-supply 3.3 V or 5 V systems |
Pinout & Package
DGK package: 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (pin 8) requiring PCB copper connection for junction temperature control below 125°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Channel 1 output | Delivers rail-to-rail amplified signal; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling to VS−/VS+ |
| 1IN− | Channel 1 inverting input | High-impedance node (33 MΩ); matched impedance routing critical for video/RF stability |
| 1IN+ | Channel 1 non-inverting input | DC-bias reference point in single-supply configurations; 1 pF input capacitance affects HF compensation |
| VS− | Negative supply rail | Return path for both channels; must be low-inductance plane adjacent to PowerPAD |
| VS+ | Positive supply rail | Primary power source; decoupling with 0.1 µF ceramic + 6.8 µF tantalum recommended |
| 2OUT | Channel 2 output | Independent output stage; crosstalk <−90 dB at 5 MHz enables dual-path signal processing |
| 2IN− | Channel 2 inverting input | Electrically isolated from Channel 1; layout separation minimizes inter-channel coupling |
| 2IN+ | Channel 2 non-inverting input | Same input structure as 1IN+; enables synchronous dual-channel gain matching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Enables full utilization of ADC input range without level-shifting circuitry in 3.3 V/5 V systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4226DGQ | Dual-channel with integrated power-down control pins (1PD/2PD); same AC performance but adds enable functionality | Required where dynamic power gating is needed in battery-operated or burst-mode systems | Select THS4226DGQ if power-down sequencing and <500 ns turnoff delay are mandatory; THS4222DGKR lacks PD pins and draws constant 14 mA/ch |
| OPA2691IDGKT | Higher 500 MHz bandwidth, 1800 V/µs slew rate, but higher 22 mA/ch quiescent current and no rail-to-rail output | Suitable for >100 MHz IF amplification where output swing >±3.5 V is acceptable | Choose OPA2691IDGKT only when bandwidth >300 MHz is required and rail-to-rail output is not critical; THS4222DGKR offers superior DC-coupled flexibility |
Compared with THS4226DGQ, THS4222DGKR provides identical AC specs without power management overhead-ideal for always-on signal chains. Versus OPA2691IDGKT, it trades bandwidth for lower power, rail-to-rail output, and better video fidelity metrics, making it preferable for DC-coupled ADC drivers and broadcast video.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for THS4222DGKR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for THS4222DGKR is ±8.25 V (dual supply) or 16.5 V (single supply), though the recommended operating range is ±1.35 V to ±7.5 V or 2.7 V to 15 V. Operation beyond ±7.5 V or 15 V risks permanent damage per TI SLOS399G Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does THS4222DGKR support true single-supply operation with input signals near ground?
Yes, THS4222DGKR supports single-supply operation from 3 V to 15 V, with an input common-mode range extending from VS− +1.1 V to VS+ −1.1 V. At VS = 3.3 V, this allows input signals from 1.15 V to 2.15 V; for ground-referenced signals, external biasing (e.g., VREF = VS/2) is required at the non-inverting input.
What is the thermal design requirement for THS4222DGKR in the DGK package?
The DGK package incorporates a PowerPAD™ thermal pad (pin 8) that must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour connected to VS− for effective heat dissipation. Without this, θJA rises to 260°C/W, limiting usable power to 154 mW at 85°C ambient-TI SLMA002/SLMA004 mandate thermal pad connection to avoid junction temperatures exceeding 125°C.
How does THS4222DGKR compare to THS4226DGQ in pin compatibility and function?
THS4222DGKR (DGK) and THS4226DGQ (DGQ) are not pin-compatible: THS4222DGKR has 8 pins (1OUT, 1IN−, 1IN+, VS−, VS+, 2OUT, 2IN−, 2IN+) while THS4226DGQ has 10 pins with dedicated power-down inputs (1PD, 2PD). Both share identical AC/DC performance specs, but THS4226DGQ adds enable control absent in THS4222DGKR.
Can THS4222DGKR drive a 150 Ω video load while maintaining SMPTE compliance?
Yes-THS4222DGKR achieves 0.007% differential gain and 0.007° differential phase into 150 Ω loads at G = 2, meeting SMPTE RP 168 requirements for SD-SDI video transmission. Its 100 mA output drive capability ensures stable 1 Vpp signal delivery across multiple 150 Ω terminations without gain droop or timing skew.
