Product details
Overview
THS4304DBVT from Texas Instruments is a wideband voltage-feedback operational amplifier in SOT-23-5 package, designed for high-speed ADC driving and RF signal conditioning. It delivers 3 GHz small-signal bandwidth at G=+1, 830 V/µs slew rate, 2.4 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and operates from single 5-V or 3-V supply with 18 mA quiescent current - enabling high-fidelity analog front-ends in ultrasound and telecom receivers.
For engineers reviewing the THS4304DBVT datasheet, THS4304DBVT pinout, THS4304DBVT application, or THS4304DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 240 MHz large-signal bandwidth at 2-Vpp output, –84 dBc second-harmonic distortion at 10 MHz, 300 MHz 0.1-dB flatness, and validated performance driving ADS5500-type 125-MSPS ADCs in differential configurations.
Technical Context
The THS4304DBVT implements a traditional voltage-feedback topology with balanced inputs, low offset voltage (≤5 mV), and high common-mode rejection (≥73 dB), optimized for single-supply operation without rail-to-rail input/output. Its BiCom3 SiGe process enables 3 GHz unity-gain bandwidth while maintaining low distortion under heavy capacitive loading.
It supports non-inverting and inverting gain configurations with external feedback networks (e.g., RF = 249 Ω for G = +2); layout-critical design requires minimized parasitic capacitance at IN− and VOUT, removal of ground plane beneath the device, and tight placement of 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors adjacent to VS+ and VS− pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 3 GHz at G = +1 - enables baseband-to-RF signal amplification up to cellular/WiFi bands without external compensation. |
| Slew Rate | 830 V/µs - supports clean 2-Vpp transient response within 2.5 ns rise time for fast-pulse applications like gamma camera front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.4 nV/√Hz at 1 MHz - preserves SNR in low-amplitude sensor interfaces such as ultrasound transducer preamps. |
| Harmonic Distortion | –84 dBc 2nd HD at 10 MHz - ensures minimal spectral contamination when driving 12-bit+ ADCs like ADS5500. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply - eliminates need for ±5-V rails, reducing power system complexity in portable medical and test equipment. |
| Quiescent Current | 18 mA - balances high-speed performance with thermal manageability in space-constrained SOT-23-5 PCB layouts. |
| 0.1-dB Flatness | 300 MHz at G = +2 - guarantees amplitude fidelity across wide IF bands in RF/IF receiver chains. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: compact 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; pin 1 marked by dot; NC on pin 3 per TI datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN−) | Inverting Input | Feedback node for gain-setting; sensitive to parasitic capacitance - requires short trace and no ground plane underneath. |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-Inverting Input | High-impedance signal entry point; common-mode range extends 0.2 V beyond rails for flexible biasing. |
| 3 (NC) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pin - must remain unconnected; no routing or grounding permitted. |
| 4 (VS−) | Negative Supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic bypass to minimize PSRR degradation. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Amplifier Output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ≥57 mA into 10 Ω load; drives 100 Ω directly with <2 dB peaking using 249 Ω feedback. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation | Operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V - eliminates dual-rail power supplies in battery-powered or space-limited systems. |
| Low distortion at high frequency | –84 dBc 2nd harmonic at 10 MHz with 100 Ω load - maintains SFDR >70 dB for 125-MSPS ADC interfacing. |
| High slew rate & bandwidth synergy | 830 V/µs slew rate supports full 240 MHz large-signal bandwidth - avoids slewing-induced distortion in pulse amplification. |
| Package-optimized HD2 performance | SOT-23 variant achieves 6 dB better 2nd harmonic vs MSOP under 100 Ω load - critical for differential ADC driver matching. |
| Robust thermal rating | 156 mW power dissipation at TA = 85°C - enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures without forced air cooling. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6702MF/NOPB | 2.8 GHz GBW, 30 mA IQ, SOIC-8 only - higher quiescent current, no SOT-23 option. | Less suitable for space-constrained portable designs due to larger package and thermal footprint. | Select when board area permits SOIC-8 and higher drive current (>100 mA) is required for 50 Ω loads. |
| ADA4817-1ARMZ | 1 GHz GBW, 1.3 mA IQ, 110 V/µs slew - lower bandwidth/noise trade-off, superior power efficiency. | Better for low-power, medium-bandwidth applications where 3 GHz is unnecessary. | Select when optimizing for battery life in handheld test gear and 1 GHz bandwidth suffices for target signal chain. |
Compared with LMH6702MF/NOPB and ADA4817-1ARMZ, the THS4304DBVT uniquely combines SOT-23-5 form factor, 3 GHz bandwidth, and 18 mA IQ - making it the only choice for miniaturized, high-SFDR ADC drivers where PCB real estate and thermal density are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for THS4304DBVT?
The THS4304DBVT supports a maximum operating supply voltage of +6.0 V across VS+ and VS− terminals, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, recommended operation is limited to 2.7 V to 5.5 V for optimal performance and reliability. Exceeding 5.5 V risks permanent damage and violates the device's qualified operating conditions defined in the datasheet.
Can THS4304DBVT drive a 50-Ω load directly?
The THS4304DBVT is not rated for continuous 50-Ω load driving per its Electrical Characteristics: output current is specified as 57 mA sourcing/sinking into 10 Ω, and 3.7 V swing into 100 Ω at 5 V supply. For 50-Ω applications, use a series resistor (e.g., 50 Ω) to isolate the load and maintain stability - TI's EVM schematic confirms this practice for 50-Ω terminated inputs/outputs in THS4304DBVT-based designs.
Does THS4304DBVT require external compensation capacitors?
The THS4304DBVT is internally compensated for unity-gain stability but benefits from external optimization: a 0.5 pF capacitor across the feedback resistor (e.g., CF = 0.5 pF with RF = 249 Ω) improves 0.1-dB flatness to 300 MHz and reduces peaking. TI's datasheet Figure 4 and Application Information section explicitly recommend this for G = +2 configurations to achieve best amplitude fidelity.
How does THS4304DBVT compare to THS4304DGK in harmonic distortion performance?
Under 100 Ω load, the THS4304DBVT (SOT-23-5) delivers ~6 dB better second-harmonic distortion than the THS4304DGK (MSOP-8), as confirmed in TI's Application Information section and Figure 9. This advantage stems from reduced package parasitics in the smaller SOT-23, making THS4304DBVT preferred for ultra-low-distortion differential ADC driver applications where HD2 directly impacts SFDR.
Is THS4304DBVT suitable for single-supply 3-V operation?
Yes, THS4304DBVT is fully characterized for 3-V single-supply operation: it delivers 900 MHz small-signal bandwidth, 750 V/µs slew rate, and 450 MHz large-signal bandwidth at 1-Vpp output. The datasheet specifies valid input common-mode range (–0.2 V to 2.6 V), output swing (1.7 V), and quiescent current (17.2–18.4 mA) under 3-V conditions - confirming robust functionality in low-voltage portable systems.
