Product details
Overview
THS4500CDGKR from Texas Instruments is a high-linearity, fully differential amplifier designed for precision signal conditioning in high-speed data acquisition systems. It delivers 370 MHz small-signal bandwidth, –90 dBc third-order intermodulation distortion at 30 MHz, and power-down capability - enabling use as an ADC driver in 12-bit/80 MSps analog front-ends with ±5 V or single 5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the THS4500CDGKR datasheet, THS4500CDGKR pinout, THS4500CDGKR application, or THS4500CDGKR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping to MSOP-8 PowerPAD™, real-world application context for wireless receiver chains and active filtering, and validated alternative options for differential signal path design.
Technical Context
The THS4500CDGKR implements a fully differential architecture with independent input common-mode range extending to the negative rail and output common-mode voltage control (VOCM) with 180 MHz bandwidth. Its internal topology supports both single-ended-to-differential and differential-to-differential conversion without external level-shifting circuitry.
It features a dedicated power-down pin (PD) that reduces quiescent current to ≤1.2 mA while maintaining high-impedance inputs and controlled output state. The device operates across wide supply ranges (±5 V, +5 V, up to ±7.5 V or +15 V), with input bias current ≤5.2 μA and open-loop gain ≥50 dB over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 370 MHz at ±5 V supply - enables baseband signal amplification through UHF frequencies without gain peaking. |
| Third-order IMD | –90 dBc at 30 MHz, 2 VPP output - ensures minimal spectral regrowth in wideband receiver IF stages. |
| Slew rate | 2800 V/μs at ±5 V - supports fast transient response for high-fidelity pulse and modulated signal reproduction. |
| OIP3 | 49 dBm at 30 MHz, referenced to 50 Ω - quantifies large-signal linearity headroom for RF/IF signal chain design. |
| Power-down current | ≤1200 μA - allows low-power standby mode in battery-sensitive or duty-cycled instrumentation systems. |
| Input voltage noise | 7 nV/√Hz above 1 MHz - contributes minimally to system noise floor in high-resolution ADC interfaces. |
| Common-mode input range | –5.7 V to +2.6 V at ±5 V supply - accommodates ground-referenced or negative-biased sensor signals directly. |
Pinout & Package
The THS4500CDGKR is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™), optimized for high-frequency performance and thermal dissipation on compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts signal referenced to VOCM or ground; supports rail-to-rail common-mode swing. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; paired with VIN− for balanced signal reception or single-ended conversion. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | Setpoint input for DC output common-mode voltage; enables precise alignment with ADC reference midpoints (e.g., 2.5 V). |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts +5 V or +7.5 V (single supply) or +5 V (dual supply); decoupling required per TI layout guidelines. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Active output terminal; drives one leg of differential load (e.g., ADC input or transmission line). |
| PD | Power-down enable | Logic-controlled shutdown: >2.1 V (ON), <0.7 V (OFF); transitions within 1 μs with defined turn-on/turn-off delays. |
| VS− | Negative supply | Required for dual-supply operation (–5 V or –7.5 V); omitted in single-supply configurations using VS+ only. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output terminal; maintains amplitude and phase symmetry with VOUT+ for balanced signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential architecture | Eliminates need for external baluns or transformer coupling; reduces even-order harmonics and improves PSRR/CMMR. |
| Output common-mode control (VOCM) | Enables direct interface to mid-scale-referenced ADCs (e.g., 2.5 V) without resistive divider networks or level shifters. |
| Power-down capability | Reduces system idle power by >95% while preserving input/output isolation and enabling rapid wake-up (<1 μs). |
| Wide supply range support | Operates from ±5 V to ±7.5 V or +5 V to +15 V - simplifies integration across mixed-voltage platforms and legacy designs. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode | Accepts inputs down to VS− (–5.7 V at ±5 V), allowing direct connection to sensors or DACs with negative output swing. |
Applications
| Wireless Communication Receiver IF Stage | Analog Front-End for High-Speed ADCs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4501CDGKR | No power-down pin; otherwise identical AC/DC specs and pinout. | Preferred where continuous operation is required and power gating adds complexity. | Select THS4501CDGKR when system-level power sequencing does not require dynamic amplifier disable. |
| THS4521RGTR | Lower bandwidth (1.5 GHz GBW), higher supply current (30 mA), no VOCM pin; uses different package (QFN-16). | Better suited for >100 MHz closed-loop gains and ultra-low-noise preamp roles, but lacks VOCM flexibility. | Choose THS4521RGTR only if VOCM control is unnecessary and higher speed/gain-bandwidth is prioritized over power efficiency. |
Compared with THS4501CDGKR, THS4500CDGKR adds power-down functionality at identical linearity and bandwidth - making it optimal for intermittent-sampling systems. Versus THS4521RGTR, THS4500CDGKR trades raw speed for VOCM control, lower quiescent current, and MSOP-8 compatibility in space-constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for THS4500CDGKR?
The THS4500CDGKR supports a maximum dual supply of ±7.5 V and a maximum single supply of +15 V. Absolute maximum ratings specify ±8.25 V total supply difference, but recommended operating conditions limit continuous use to ±7.5 V or +15 V to ensure long-term reliability and specified performance across temperature.
Does THS4500CDGKR require external compensation components?
No, the THS4500CDGKR is internally compensated and stable for unity-gain (G = +1) configurations with standard feedback networks (e.g., RF = RG = 392 Ω). External compensation is not required for basic differential or single-ended-to-differential operation per the datasheet application circuits.
How does the VOCM pin function in THS4500CDGKR?
The VOCM pin sets the DC common-mode voltage of the differential outputs (VOUT+ and VOUT−). When driven with a stable voltage (e.g., 2.5 V), it forces the average of VOUT+ and VOUT− to match that value - enabling seamless interfacing with mid-scale-referenced ADCs without external resistive dividers.
What is the typical power-down current of THS4500CDGKR?
The typical power-down current of THS4500CDGKR is 800 μA at +25°C, with a maximum of 1200 μA over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This represents >95% reduction versus normal operating current (~25 mA), enabling significant system-level power savings during idle periods.
Can THS4500CDGKR drive a 50 Ω differential load?
Yes, THS4500CDGKR can drive a 50 Ω differential load (i.e., 25 Ω per leg) with full output swing and maintained linearity, though output voltage swing is reduced compared to higher-impedance loads. The datasheet confirms 100 mA minimum differential output current drive capability, sufficient for 50 Ω termination at ±3.3 V swing under 5 V supply.
