Product details
Overview
THS4502CD from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, fully differential amplifier with power-down capability, designed for precision signal conditioning in high-speed data acquisition systems. It delivers 370 MHz small-signal bandwidth, 2800 V/µs slew rate, and -95 dBc third-order intermodulation distortion at 30 MHz under ±5 V supply - enabling 14-bit ADC preamplification up to 40 MHz.
For engineers reviewing the THS4502CD datasheet, THS4502CD pinout, THS4502CD application, or THS4502CD equivalent, this device is selected for demanding analog front-ends requiring low distortion, wide common-mode input range, output common-mode voltage control (VOCM), and thermal-aware operation below +60°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The THS4502CD employs a fully differential architecture with centered input common-mode range and independent VOCM input, allowing precise control of output common-mode level without affecting differential gain. Its internal feedback structure supports stable unity-gain operation and maintains balance error better than -58 dB across frequency.
Power-down functionality is implemented via a dedicated PD pin with defined enable/disable thresholds (≥2.1 V ON, ≤0.7 V OFF under 5 V supply), reducing quiescent current to ≤1.2 mA while preserving input impedance and enabling fast turnon/turnoff delays (1000 ns / 800 ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 370 MHz at G = +1, ±5 V supply - supports wideband IF/RF signal chain amplification without gain peaking. |
| Slew rate | 2800 V/µs - enables clean reproduction of fast transient signals up to 220 MHz large-signal bandwidth. |
| IMD3 | -95 dBc at 30 MHz, 2 VPP output - ensures minimal spectral regrowth in wireless receiver chains. |
| OIP3 | 52 dBm at 30 MHz - provides high linearity for driving 14-bit ADCs with >80 dB SFDR. |
| Input common-mode range | ±4.0 V (±5 V supply) - accommodates rail-to-rail single-ended inputs while maintaining CMRR ≥70 dB. |
| VOCM control bandwidth | 180 MHz - allows dynamic adjustment of output common-mode level without degrading AC performance. |
| Quiescent current | 23–34 mA (active), ≤1.2 mA (power-down) - balances speed and power efficiency in battery-sensitive or thermally constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
THS4502CD is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™). The package supports enhanced thermal dissipation and requires PCB thermal plane connection per TI SLMA002 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts single-ended or differential signals with centered common-mode range. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; matched to VIN− for optimal CMRR and harmonic cancellation. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | Analog input setting DC offset of differential outputs; high-impedance (25 kΩ || 1 pF) with ±4 V range. |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts +5 V, ±5 V, or +12/+15 V; max rating 16.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | High-speed, low-impedance (0.1 Ω) output; drives 20 Ω loads up to 120 mA differential current. |
| PD | Power-down enable | Active-high logic input; disables amplifier core while retaining input bias integrity and fast recovery. |
| VS− | Negative supply | Required for dual-supply operation (±5 V); tied to ground for single-supply 5 V mode. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; balanced output pair enables rejection of even-order distortion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential architecture | Eliminates even-order harmonics and improves PSRR/CMMR by >70 dB over frequency. |
| Centered input common-mode range | Supports ±4 V input swing on ±5 V rails - simplifies interface with DACs, sensors, and mixers without level-shifting. |
| Output common-mode voltage control (VOCM) | Enables precise matching to ADC reference midpoints (e.g., 2.5 V) without external resistive dividers. |
| Power-down capability | Reduces supply current to <1.2 mA while maintaining input bias stability and <1 µs wake-up latency. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 5 V single supply to ±7.5 V dual supply - suitable for portable and industrial systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4503CD | No power-down pin; identical AC/DC specs and pinout except NC replaces PD. | Preferred where continuous operation is required and thermal management ensures TJ < 60°C. | Select THS4503CD when power-down functionality is unnecessary and board space allows same SOIC footprint. |
| THS4502ID | Same circuit design but rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range; higher max quiescent current (32 mA). | Required for outdoor, automotive, or industrial environments exceeding 70°C ambient. | Choose THS4502ID when extended temperature operation is mandatory and thermal derating is applied per oscillation warning. |
Compared with THS4503CD and THS4502ID, the THS4502CD offers unique power-down control in commercial-grade packaging - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally managed instrumentation where intermittent operation reduces average power and die temperature.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for reliable operation of the THS4502CD?
The THS4502CD must be operated with junction temperature below +60°C to prevent low-level oscillation. This is a hard thermal limit - not a recommended maximum. Designers must use thermal modeling, PCB copper area, and ambient conditions to ensure TJ remains under +60°C during continuous operation. TI explicitly states the device is not recommended for new designs expecting higher die temperatures.
Does the THS4502CD support single-supply operation, and what is the valid VOCM input range in that configuration?
Yes, the THS4502CD supports 5 V single-supply operation with VS− tied to ground. In this mode, the VOCM input range is 1.0 V to 4.0 V (min), enabling precise setting of output common-mode voltage between 1.3 V and 3.7 V. This matches standard 2.5 V ADC references and avoids clipping when driving rail-to-rail inputs.
How does the power-down function of the THS4502CD affect input bias current and output impedance?
In power-down mode, the THS4502CD reduces input bias current to ≤260 µA and maintains high input impedance (50 kΩ || 1 pF), preserving signal integrity at the input nodes. Output impedance rises significantly - the outputs enter high-Z state, eliminating loading effects on downstream circuits while consuming <1.2 mA total supply current.
Can the THS4502CD drive a 50 Ω differential load directly, and what is the resulting output swing?
The THS4502CD is not optimized for direct 50 Ω differential termination. Its specified load is 800 Ω (differential) or 20 Ω (per side, single-ended). Driving 50 Ω differentially would reduce output swing to ~±3.5 V (vs. ±7.4 V into 1 kΩ) and increase distortion. A series resistor or transformer interface is recommended for 50 Ω systems to maintain THS4502CD's specified linearity and bandwidth.
What is the purpose of the PowerPAD™ in the THS4502CD SOIC package, and how must it be implemented on the PCB?
The PowerPAD™ is an exposed thermal pad on the underside of the THS4502CD SOIC package, acting as a primary heat path from die to PCB. It must be soldered to a solid copper thermal plane (minimum 1 in²) with ≥4 thermal vias to inner/ground layers. Failure to connect the PowerPAD™ risks exceeding the +60°C oscillation threshold and permanent reliability degradation, as confirmed in TI's SLMA002 thermal design brief.
