Product details
Overview
THS4226DGQ from Texas Instruments is a dual, rail-to-rail output, high-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier with power-down capability, designed for low-distortion signal conditioning in 3 V to 15 V single-supply or ±1.35 V to ±7.5 V dual-supply systems. It delivers 230 MHz small-signal bandwidth (G = 1), 975 V/µs slew rate, −90 dBc HD2 and −100 dBc HD3 at 5 MHz (RL = 499 Ω), and supports 100 mA output drive - enabling high-fidelity video buffering and ADC driver applications.
For engineers reviewing the THS4226DGQ datasheet, THS4226DGQ pinout, THS4226DGQ application, or THS4226DGQ equivalent, key selection considerations include its DGQ-10 thermally enhanced PowerPAD MSOP package, dual-channel isolation (−90 dB crosstalk at 5 MHz), power-down control via dedicated PD pins, and verified performance in single-supply video gain stages and high-resolution data acquisition front-ends.
Technical Context
The THS4226DGQ implements a voltage-feedback architecture optimized for unity-gain stability and wideband operation up to 230 MHz. Its rail-to-rail output stage achieves ±4.8 V swing into 2 kΩ under ±5 V supplies, while maintaining ultra-low harmonic distortion through precision internal biasing and matched transistor pairs.
Power-down functionality is implemented via two independent PD pins (Pin 5 and Pin 10), each referenced to an external REF pin (Pin 1) that sets enable/disable thresholds. This allows flexible sequencing and channel-specific sleep control without affecting the active channel's quiescent operating point or AC performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 230 MHz at G = 1 (±5 V, RL = 499 Ω): enables baseband video and IF signal amplification without phase roll-off. |
| Slew rate | 975 V/µs (G = 1, VO = ±2.5 Vpp): supports fast transient response in pulse-amplifier and DAC output stages. |
| Harmonic distortion | HD2 = −90 dBc, HD3 = −100 dBc at 5 MHz (RL = 499 Ω): preserves signal fidelity in 12–14-bit ADC driver applications. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | −4.8 V / +4.8 V into 2 kΩ (±5 V supply): maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Power-down current | ≤700 µA per channel (VS = ±5 V): reduces idle power by >95% versus active mode (14 mA/ch), critical for battery-powered instrumentation. |
| Crosstalk | −90 dB at 5 MHz (ch-to-ch): ensures channel independence in dual-path signal chains such as I/Q demodulators. |
| Input voltage noise | 13 nV/√Hz at 1 MHz: maintains SNR integrity when driving high-resolution analog-to-digital converters. |
Pinout & Package
DGQ-10 is a 10-pin thermally enhanced MSOP package with exposed PowerPAD on the underside, requiring solder connection to a PCB thermal plane for reliable power dissipation (ΘJA = 58 °C/W). The PowerPAD significantly improves thermal performance over standard MSOP variants and is mandatory for sustained 100 mA output operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Reference voltage input | Sets power-down threshold levels; tied to VS− (0 V) or VS+ (floating) to configure enable logic polarity. |
| 2 (1IN−) | Inverting input, Channel 1 | High-impedance node (33 MΩ) for feedback network connection in inverting configurations. |
| 3 (1IN+) | Non-inverting input, Channel 1 | DC-biased input for single-supply operation; common-mode range extends to VS− + 1.1 V. |
| 4 (VS−) | Negative supply rail | Accepts ground (single supply) or negative rail (dual supply); must be decoupled with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors. |
| 5 (1PD) | Power-down control, Channel 1 | Active-high enable when PD ≥ REF + 1.8 V; disables output stage and reduces quiescent current to µA range. |
| 6 (VS+) | Positive supply rail | Supports 2.7 V to 15 V single supply or ±1.35 V to ±7.5 V dual supply; PSRR = 75 dB typical. |
| 7 (2OUT) | Output, Channel 2 | Capable of sourcing/sinking 100 mA; rail-to-rail swing requires load ≥ 499 Ω for full specification compliance. |
| 8 (2IN−) | Inverting input, Channel 2 | Electrically isolated from Channel 1 (−90 dB crosstalk); used for differential gain or independent signal paths. |
| 9 (2IN+) | Non-inverting input, Channel 2 | Matches Channel 1 specs; supports DC-coupled biasing with matched resistor networks for offset cancellation. |
| 10 (2PD) | Power-down control, Channel 2 | Independent control of Channel 2; allows asymmetric power management in multi-channel systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full-scale output voltage headroom into high-impedance loads, eliminating need for external level shifters in 3.3 V or 5 V systems. |
| Channel-independent power-down | Enables selective shutdown of one amplifier while maintaining active operation of the other - ideal for time-multiplexed sensor interfaces. |
| Ultra-low harmonic distortion | Preserves spectral purity in video line drivers and high-speed data converter interfaces where spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is critical. |
| Thermally enhanced PowerPAD | Reduces junction-to-ambient thermal resistance by >50% vs. standard MSOP, supporting continuous 100 mA output without derating at 85°C ambient. |
| Single-supply compatibility | Operates from 2.7 V to 15 V with input common-mode range extending within 1.1 V of either rail - simplifies biasing in portable and industrial equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-distortion operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4222DGQ | No power-down pins; fixed dual-channel operation with identical AC specs and pin-compatible footprint. | Lacks channel-level power management; suitable only for always-on dual-path designs. | Select THS4222DGQ when power-down functionality is unnecessary and board space is constrained. |
| OPA2691IDGQR | Higher 1.4 GHz bandwidth but higher 3.5 mA/ch quiescent current; no rail-to-rail output (clips ~1.2 V from rails). | Better for RF/IF gain blocks above 100 MHz; unsuitable for rail-sensing or low-voltage video swing. | Choose OPA2691IDGQR only when bandwidth >500 MHz is required and supply headroom permits non-rail output. |
Compared with THS4222DGQ and OPA2691IDGQR, the THS4226DGQ uniquely balances 230 MHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail output, dual-channel isolation, and per-channel power-down - making it optimal for portable, multi-function signal chains where dynamic power scaling and full-voltage utilization are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the THS4226DGQ?
The THS4226DGQ has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±8.25 V (16.5 V total) for dual-supply operation and 15 V for single-supply use. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage. Recommended operating range is ±1.35 V to ±7.5 V (dual) or 2.7 V to 15 V (single), with thermal derating required above 85°C ambient due to PowerPAD thermal constraints.
How does the REF pin function in the THS4226DGQ power-down circuit?
The REF pin (Pin 1) in the THS4226DGQ establishes the reference voltage for interpreting the logic state of the two PD pins (Pins 5 and 10). When REF is tied to VS− (0 V), PD ≥ +1.8 V enables the channel; when REF is floating or tied to VS+, PD ≤ −1.5 V enables it. This dual-threshold flexibility allows system-level control of power-down behavior without additional level-shifting circuitry.
Can the THS4226DGQ drive a 75 Ω video load while maintaining specified differential phase and gain?
Yes - the THS4226DGQ is characterized for 0.007° differential phase and 0.007% differential gain into 150 Ω loads at G = 2 (NTSC/PAL), and its 100 mA output drive capability supports direct 75 Ω termination with minor gain adjustment. For optimal video performance, use G = 2 with 150 Ω back-termination and ensure proper PCB layout with controlled impedance traces and local decoupling.
What is the thermal impact of omitting the PowerPAD connection on the THS4226DGQ DGQ-10 package?
Omitting the PowerPAD solder connection on the THS4226DGQ DGQ-10 package increases ΘJA from 58 °C/W to >120 °C/W, causing junction temperature to exceed 125°C at just 50 mA continuous output into 150 Ω at 25°C ambient. This violates long-term reliability limits and triggers distortion rise; TI mandates PowerPAD connection to a thermally robust PCB plane per SLMA002/SLMA004 guidelines.
Is the THS4226DGQ pin-compatible with other packages in the THS422x family, such as DGN or DGK?
No - the THS4226DGQ uses a 10-pin DGQ package with dedicated REF and dual PD pins, whereas THS4222DGN and THS4222DGK are 8-pin packages lacking REF and having only one shared PD pin. Pin mapping, thermal pad configuration, and power-down control architecture differ fundamentally; PCB layout and firmware control logic must be redesigned for DGQ migration.
