Product details
Overview
THS4502CDGN 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 - enabling 14-bit ADC preamplification up to 40 MHz in ±5 V or single 5 V supply configurations.
For engineers reviewing the THS4502CDGN datasheet, THS4502CDGN pinout, THS4502CDGN application, or THS4502CDGN equivalent, key selection criteria include its centered input common-mode range, output common-mode voltage control (VOCM), power-down functionality with 800 µA quiescent current, and thermal derating requirement below +60°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The THS4502CDGN employs a fully differential architecture with symmetrical input and output stages optimized for low harmonic distortion and high OIP3 (51 dBm at 30 MHz). Its VOCM terminal enables precise setting of differential output common-mode level independent of gain configuration, supporting seamless interfacing with modern ADCs requiring programmable reference levels.
Unlike the THS4503, the THS4502CDGN integrates a dedicated power-down pin (PD) that disables the amplifier core while maintaining high-impedance inputs and outputs, reducing quiescent current from 32 mA to ≤1.2 mA. This feature is implemented via internal bias current switching rather than output stage shutdown alone.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 370 MHz at G = +1, ±5 V supply - supports wideband analog front-end designs up to UHF frequencies. |
| Slew rate | 2800 V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transient signals without slewing-induced distortion. |
| IMD3 | -95 dBc at 30 MHz, 2 VPP output - meets linearity requirements for 14-bit ADC drivers in communications receivers. |
| OIP3 | 51 dBm at 30 MHz - enables high dynamic range signal chain design with minimal intermodulation products. |
| Power-down quiescent current | ≤1200 µA - reduces system-level standby power in battery-operated or duty-cycled instrumentation. |
| Input common-mode range | ±4.0 V (±5 V supply) - accommodates rail-to-rail input signals while maintaining CMRR >70 dB. |
| Output swing (differential) | ±7.4 V into 1 kΩ (±5 V supply) - provides ample headroom for driving high-impedance ADC inputs. |
Pinout & Package
The THS4502CDGN is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ package (DGN), featuring enhanced thermal dissipation and compact footprint. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper plane for reliable operation below +60°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; requires matched layout to VIN+ for optimal CMRR and balance. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; symmetric routing critical to preserve 58 dB output balance error performance. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | Analog input setting DC offset of differential output pair; drives 25 kΩ || 1 pF load. |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts +5 V (single) or +5 V to +7.5 V (dual); decoupling required per TI SLMA002 guidelines. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Active output node; capable of sourcing/sinking 100 mA into 20 Ω load at ±5 V supply. |
| PD | Power-down enable | Logic-controlled shutdown: ≥2.1 V enables, ≤0.7 V disables; 1 µs turnoff delay. |
| VS− | Negative supply | Accepts −5 V to −7.5 V (dual supply); must be referenced to same ground as VS+ for stability. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; maintains <0.1 Ω closed-loop impedance at 1 MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential architecture | Eliminates even-order harmonics and rejects common-mode noise in mixed-signal systems. |
| Centered input common-mode range | Supports bipolar input signals centered at mid-supply, simplifying interface with sensors and DACs. |
| Output common-mode voltage control | Enables precise alignment of differential output to ADC reference voltage without external resistive dividers. |
| Power-down capability | Reduces system idle power by >95% while preserving input/output high-impedance state for multiplexed architectures. |
| Wide supply voltage range | Operates from ±5 V to ±7.5 V or single 4.5–15 V - compatible with legacy and modern supply rails. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4503CDGN | No power-down pin; identical AC/DC specs and pinout except PD replaced by NC. | Preferred where continuous operation is required and power cycling is unnecessary. | Select THS4503CDGN when system-level power management is handled externally or not required. |
| THS4502IDGN | Same functionality but rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range vs. 0°C to +70°C for THS4502CDGN. | Required for outdoor infrastructure, automotive body electronics, or industrial PLC analog modules. | Choose THS4502IDGN when ambient operating temperature exceeds 70°C or extended reliability validation is mandated. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature limit for reliable operation of the THS4502CDGN?
The THS4502CDGN must be operated with junction temperature maintained below +60°C to prevent low-level oscillation. Exceeding this threshold risks instability and degraded distortion performance. Thermal design must ensure θJA of 58.4°C/W is achieved via proper PowerPAD soldering to a thermally robust PCB plane, especially under ±5 V or higher supply conditions.
How does the VOCM pin function in the THS4502CDGN, and what voltage range is supported?
The VOCM pin on the THS4502CDGN sets the DC common-mode level of the differential output pair. When driven with a stable voltage (e.g., 2.5 V), it forces VOUT+ and VOUT− to center around that value. Input voltage range is ±4 V (±5 V supply) or 1 V to 4 V (5 V single supply), with input bias current ≤3 µA and impedance of 25 kΩ || 1 pF.
What are the power-down timing characteristics of the THS4502CDGN?
The THS4502CDGN exhibits 1000 ns typical turnon delay and 800 ns typical turnoff delay when transitioning between active and power-down states. The PD pin thresholds are ≥2.1 V for enable and ≤0.7 V for disable under 5 V supply; quiescent current drops from 32 mA to ≤1200 µA in power-down mode.
Can the THS4502CDGN drive a 50 Ω differential load directly?
The THS4502CDGN is not specified to drive 50 Ω differential loads continuously. Its minimum recommended load is 20 Ω per side (i.e., 40 Ω differential), delivering 100 mA output current. For true 50 Ω differential termination, external series resistors or a buffer stage are required to avoid excessive power dissipation and thermal runaway.
What is the difference between THS4502CDGN and THS4502CD?
The THS4502CDGN uses an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD package with superior thermal performance (θJA = 58.4°C/W), while the THS4502CD is in an 8-pin SOIC package (θJA = 97.5°C/W). Both share identical electrical specifications and pinout, but the DGN variant enables higher sustained output power and improved reliability in space-constrained, thermally demanding layouts.
