Product details
Overview
THS4502IDGK from Texas Instruments is a wideband, low-distortion fully differential amplifier with power-down capability, designed for high-fidelity signal conditioning in precision ADC driver and RF receiver chain applications. It delivers 370 MHz small-signal bandwidth, 2800 V/µs slew rate, –95 dBc third-order intermodulation distortion at 30 MHz, and output common-mode voltage control (VOCM) for seamless interfacing with differential-input ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the THS4502IDGK datasheet, THS4502IDGK pinout, THS4502IDGK application, or THS4502IDGK equivalent, key selection criteria include its centered input common-mode range, ±5 V to ±7.5 V dual-supply operation, thermal derating requirement below +60°C junction temperature, and MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package for enhanced thermal dissipation in high-speed analog front-ends.
Technical Context
The THS4502IDGK employs a fully differential architecture optimized for single-ended-to-differential conversion and active filtering, with independent VOCM input enabling precise output common-mode level setting. Its internal topology supports high linearity up to 40 MHz for 14-bit ADC interfaces while maintaining DC-coupled gain stability across temperature.
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 bias current <140 µA and turnoff delay <800 ns - critical for time-multiplexed channel architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 370 MHz at G = +1, ±5 V supply - enables baseband-to-IF amplification without gain peaking in 100+ MSPS data acquisition systems. |
| Slew rate | 2800 V/µs - supports full-scale transient response for 2 VPP signals up to 220 MHz large-signal bandwidth. |
| IMD3 | –95 dBc at 30 MHz, 2 VPP - ensures <0.0018% distortion in LTE/WiMAX receiver I/Q paths. |
| OIP3 | 52 dBm at 30 MHz - provides >100 dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) into 50 Ω loads. |
| Input voltage noise | 6.8 nV/√Hz above 1 MHz - minimizes added noise floor in low-level sensor signal chains. |
| Power-down current | ≤1200 µA - reduces system standby power by >94% versus active mode (20–34 mA). |
| Max junction temperature | +60°C to prevent oscillation - mandates thermal design with PowerPAD™ soldered to PCB copper pour. |
Pinout & Package
The THS4502IDGK is housed in an 8-pin MSOP PowerPAD™ (DGK) package with exposed thermal pad on underside, requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management and optimal AC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts centered common-mode range (±3.4 V at TA = 85°C) for balanced signal coupling. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; matched impedance and offset to VIN− for >70 dB CMRR up to 100 kHz. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | Analog input setting VOUT,CM; 1.02× gain accuracy ensures ±2.4 mV error over temperature when referenced to 2.5 V. |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts +5 V to +15 V (single) or ±5 V to ±7.5 V (dual); PSRR ≥70 dB minimizes supply ripple coupling. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Delivers rail-to-rail swing (±7.4 V into 1 kΩ) with <0.1 Ω closed-loop output impedance at 1 MHz. |
| PD | Power-down enable | Active-high logic input; transitions within 1 µs, disabling amplifier core while retaining input bias path integrity. |
| VS− | Negative supply | Required for dual-supply operation; supports symmetric ±5 V rails or asymmetric configurations down to –15 V. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; balance error ≤–58 dB ensures <0.12% amplitude/phase mismatch at 100 kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential architecture | Eliminates even-order harmonics and common-mode noise pickup in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
| Centered input common-mode range | Supports direct coupling of AC-coupled sources without level-shifting circuitry across –40°C to +85°C. |
| Output common-mode control (VOCM) | Enables precise matching to ADC reference midpoints (e.g., 2.5 V for 5 V supplies) without external resistive dividers. |
| Power-down capability | Reduces system idle power in multi-channel receivers; maintains <100 ns turnon delay for rapid channel switching. |
| MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package | Provides 260°C/W θJA thermal resistance - 2.7× better than SOIC-8 - enabling sustained 370 MHz operation at ambient ≤70°C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4503IDGK | 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 THS4503IDGK if power cycling is unnecessary and layout simplification is prioritized. |
| THS4502IDGN | Same die, 8-pin MSOP (DGN) without PowerPAD™; θJA = 58.4°C/W vs 260°C/W for DGK. | Suitable for lower-power or intermittent-use designs where thermal load is <150 mW. | Choose THS4502IDGN only when board space constraints prohibit PowerPAD™ footprint or thermal requirements are relaxed. |
Compared with THS4503IDGK, THS4502IDGK adds power-down control at the cost of one pin and requires thermal pad soldering; compared with THS4502IDGN, it trades higher thermal resistance for superior heat dissipation in sustained high-frequency operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for THS4502IDGK to prevent oscillation?
The THS4502IDGK must be operated with junction temperature ≤+60°C to prevent low-level oscillation. This is a hard thermal limit - not a recommendation - and requires thermal design using the PowerPAD™ to achieve θJA ≤260°C/W. Exceeding this temperature risks instability even if all other parameters remain within spec. THS4502IDGK datasheet Section 6.5 explicitly defines +60°C as the maximum die temperature for reliable operation.
How does the VOCM pin function in THS4502IDGK, and what is its input impedance?
The VOCM pin on THS4502IDGK sets the output common-mode voltage with 1.02× gain accuracy and ±2.4 mV max offset over temperature. Its input impedance is 25 kΩ || 1 pF, allowing direct connection to precision voltage references (e.g., REF5025) without loading. When left floating, VOCM defaults to 2.5 V ±0.1 V, making THS4502IDGK compatible with 5 V-supply ADCs without external components.
What are the power-down enable/disable voltage thresholds for THS4502IDGK under 5 V supply?
Under 5 V single-supply operation, THS4502IDGK enables (ON) when PD pin voltage ≥2.1 V and disables (OFF) when PD pin voltage ≤0.7 V. These thresholds provide 1.4 V hysteresis to reject noise, and the device achieves full power-down state within 800 ns. Quiescent current drops to ≤1200 µA, while input bias current remains <140 µA - critical for maintaining signal path integrity during sleep modes.
Can THS4502IDGK operate from a single 5 V supply, and what is its output swing capability?
Yes, THS4502IDGK supports single 5 V supply operation with VOCM referenced to 2.5 V. Under these conditions, differential output swing is ±2.6 V into 1 kΩ (5.2 VPP) at TA = 85°C, sufficient to drive most 12–14 bit ADCs. The amplifier maintains 320 MHz small-signal bandwidth and –74 dBc 3rd harmonic at 30 MHz, though slew rate reduces to 1300 V/µs versus 2800 V/µs at ±5 V.
What is the difference between THS4502IDGK and THS4502IDGN packages, and how does it affect thermal performance?
THS4502IDGK uses an MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad; THS4502IDGN is standard MSOP-8 without PowerPAD™. DGK achieves θJA = 260°C/W (JEDEC High-K board), while DGN is 58.4°C/W - a 4.5× worse thermal resistance. This means THS4502IDGK can dissipate ~3× more power before reaching +60°C junction limit, making it mandatory for continuous 370 MHz operation in industrial environments.
