Product details
Overview
THS4281DBVR from Texas Instruments is a very low-power, rail-to-rail input and output voltage-feedback operational amplifier in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. It delivers 90 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 35 V/μs slew rate, and 750 μA quiescent current at 5 V, enabling high-speed signal conditioning in battery-powered portable instrumentation and ADC front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the THS4281DBVR datasheet, THS4281DBVR pinout, THS4281DBVR application, or THS4281DBVR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 400 mV beyond-rail common-mode input range for high-side current sensing, 150 mV rail-to-rail output swing into 1 kΩ, and guaranteed performance from –40°C to +85°C with <1 mA max quiescent current over temperature.
Technical Context
The THS4281DBVR uses BiCom-II process technology to achieve simultaneous rail-to-rail input (–0.4 V to 5.4 V at 5 V supply) and output (0.15 V to 4.85 V into 1 kΩ) operation. Its voltage-feedback architecture provides stable gain configurations from –10 to +10 with minimal phase shift up to 40 MHz at G = +2.
Designed for single-supply systems, it supports 2.7 V to 15 V operation and exhibits 85 dB typical CMRR and 105 dB open-loop gain at 5 V. The amplifier maintains 78 ns 0.1% settling time on 2-V steps and –92 dBc second-harmonic distortion at 100 kHz with 2 VPP output-critical for driving 12-bit+ SAR ADCs.
Key Specifications

| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.4 V to 5.4 V at 5 V supply - allows high-side current sensing above VS+ without phase reversal |
Pinout & Package
THS4281DBVR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size) optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. Thermal resistance RθJA is 154.4°C/W, requiring minimal copper area for thermal management in continuous operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 1 - VOUT | Output | Amplified differential output node; drives loads ≥10 Ω with 33 mA sink/source capability at 5 V |
| 2 - VS− | Negative Supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation or negative rail for dual-supply use; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic |
| 3 - IN+ | Non-inverting Input | High-impedance (100 MΩ) positive input; accepts signals up to 400 mV beyond rails for high-side sensing |
| 4 - IN− | Inverting Input | Differential input node; used with feedback network to set closed-loop gain and bandwidth |
| 5 - VS+ | Positive Supply | Main power input; supports 2.7–15 V; requires local 0.1 µF + 6.8 µF decoupling per datasheet Figure 27 |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-feedback operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA355DBVR | Lower 50 MHz GBW, 2.5 mA IQ, same SOT-23-5 package | Higher power consumption limits use in multi-channel ultra-low-power systems | Select when lower cost and adequate bandwidth suffice; avoid where <1 mA IQ is mandatory |
| LMH6612MMX | Higher 130 MHz GBW, 2.3 mA IQ, MSOP-8 package | Larger footprint and higher supply current preclude drop-in replacement in space/power-constrained designs | Choose for higher speed where board area and battery life are secondary to bandwidth |
Compared with OPA355DBVR and LMH6612MMX, THS4281DBVR uniquely balances 90 MHz bandwidth with sub-1 mA quiescent current in a 5-pin SOT-23, making it the only option meeting both high-speed and ultra-low-power requirements in portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for THS4281DBVR?
The THS4281DBVR supports a maximum supply voltage of 16.5 V across VS+ and VS−. At 5 V single supply, its absolute maximum rating is 16.5 V, and in dual-supply mode, it operates up to ±8.25 V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the THS4281DBVR datasheet.
Does THS4281DBVR support rail-to-rail input at 3 V supply?
Yes, THS4281DBVR supports rail-to-rail input at 3 V supply, with a common-mode input range of –0.3 V to 3.3 V at +25°C. This extends 400 mV beyond both rails, enabling high-side sensing applications even at minimum operating voltage - confirmed in Section 6.5 of the THS4281DBVR datasheet.
Can THS4281DBVR drive a 150 Ω load for video applications?
Yes, THS4281DBVR is characterized for video applications with differential gain/phase of 0.11%/0.11° at 5 V supply into 150 Ω, meeting NTSC/PAL broadcast standards. Its 35 V/μs slew rate and 90 MHz bandwidth ensure minimal distortion on composite video waveforms - verified in Section 6.6 AC Performance tables for THS4281DBVR.
What is the thermal resistance of THS4281DBVR in SOT-23 package?
The THS4281DBVR in DBV (SOT-23) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 154.4°C/W, as specified in Table 6.4 of the THS4281DBVR datasheet. This value assumes JEDEC High-K test PCB conditions; actual board layout will affect real-world thermal performance.
Is THS4281DBVR suitable for driving the ADS8320 ADC?
Yes, THS4281DBVR is explicitly recommended for driving the ADS8320 ADC. Its 78 ns 0.1% settling time, –92 dBc THD at 100 kHz, and rail-to-rail output swing match ADS8320's 16-bit resolution and 2.7 MSPS sampling requirements - stated in the THS4281DBVR Applications section and validated in typical application circuits.
