Product details
Overview
THS4502IDR 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 THS4502IDR datasheet, THS4502IDR pinout, THS4502IDR application, or THS4502IDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its centered input common-mode range, output common-mode voltage control (VOCM), low 6.8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and thermal oscillation limit of +60°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The THS4502IDR 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 high open-loop gain (≥50 dB) and 80 dB CMRR support accurate closed-loop gain stability across wide frequency bands.
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 maintaining high-impedance inputs and controlled turnoff delay (≤800 ns).
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 40 MHz for 14-bit ADC interfaces. |
| Slew rate | 2800 V/µs (±5 V) - enables clean large-signal transient response for fast-settling applications like burst-mode receivers. |
| IMD3 distortion | -95 dBc at 30 MHz, 2 VPP output - ensures minimal spectral regrowth in wireless receiver chains and IF sampling systems. |
| OIP3 | 52 dBm at 30 MHz - provides high linearity for demanding RF/IF signal paths requiring dynamic range preservation. |
| Input voltage noise | 6.8 nV/√Hz above 1 MHz - critical for low-noise preamplification before high-resolution ADCs. |
| VOCM control bandwidth | 180 MHz - allows high-fidelity tracking of dynamically adjusted output common-mode levels in adaptive systems. |
| Max junction temperature | +60°C to prevent low-level oscillation - mandates thermal design review for continuous operation above ambient 55°C. |
Pinout & Package
The THS4502IDR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with standard pinout and no exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments are validated per TI SLOS352E Rev. October 2011.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts centered common-mode range (±3.4 V @ ±5 V supply) for balanced signal coupling. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; matched impedance and offset performance to VIN− for high CMRR operation. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | Analog input setting DC level of differential output pair; supports programmable biasing of downstream ADC inputs. |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts +5 V (single) or +5 V to +7.5 V (dual); internal regulation ensures stable bias under load transients. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | High-speed, low-impedance output (0.1 Ω typical) driving 50 Ω or 800 Ω loads directly into ADC or transmission lines. |
| PD | Power-down enable | Active-high logic input; asserts low-quiescent state (≤1.2 mA) with defined voltage thresholds and <1 µs turnoff delay. |
| VS− | Negative supply | Accepts 0 V (single) or −5 V to −7.5 V (dual); symmetrical rail handling enables true bipolar signal processing. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; maintains tight amplitude/phase balance (−58 dB error @ 100 kHz) for differential signaling integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential architecture | Eliminates even-order harmonics and rejects common-mode noise, improving SNR in mixed-signal systems interfacing with differential-input ADCs. |
| Centered input common-mode range | ±3.4 V (min) at ±5 V supply - enables direct connection to sensor outputs or DACs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output common-mode voltage control (VOCM) | Supports precise DC bias alignment to ADC reference midpoints (e.g., 2.5 V), reducing offset-induced quantization error. |
| Power-down capability | Reduces quiescent current from 20–31 mA to ≤1.2 mA, enabling duty-cycled operation in battery-powered or thermally constrained systems. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 5 V single supply or ±5 V to ±7.5 V dual supplies - simplifies integration across diverse system voltage domains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4503IDR | No power-down pin; otherwise identical AC/DC specs and pinout. | Preferred where continuous operation eliminates need for enable control and PCB space permits omission of PD routing. | Select THS4503IDR when power cycling is unnecessary and layout simplicity is prioritized over standby current savings. |
| THS4502CDR | Same device, C-temp grade (0°C to 70°C) vs I-temp grade (-40°C to 85°C); identical electrical specs. | Restricted to commercial environments; unsuitable for industrial or automotive ambient conditions. | Choose THS4502CDR only for cost-sensitive, non-extended-temperature applications with verified thermal margin below +60°C junction limit. |
Compared with THS4503IDR, THS4502IDR adds power-down control at minor cost and complexity overhead; compared with THS4502CDR, it extends operational reliability across harsher thermal environments while maintaining identical signal-chain performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for THS4502IDR, and why is it critical?
The THS4502IDR has a maximum junction temperature limit of +60°C to prevent low-level oscillation. Exceeding this threshold may cause instability or degraded distortion performance, especially in high-power or poorly heatsinked layouts. Designers must ensure thermal resistance from junction to ambient stays within limits using appropriate copper area and airflow, particularly in sealed enclosures or multi-layer PCBs with limited thermal vias.
How does the VOCM pin function in THS4502IDR, and what is its practical design impact?
The VOCM pin on THS4502IDR sets the DC common-mode voltage of the differential output pair. When driven with a stable reference (e.g., 2.5 V), it aligns VOUT+ and VOUT− around that midpoint - essential for matching the input common-mode range of differential-input ADCs. This eliminates level-shifting components, reduces board area, and avoids errors from resistor divider inaccuracies or temperature drift in passive networks.
What are the power-down voltage thresholds for THS4502IDR under 5 V single-supply operation?
Under 5 V supply, THS4502IDR enables normal operation when PD pin voltage is ≥2.1 V and disables (enters power-down mode) when PD voltage falls ≤0.7 V. The transition region between these thresholds is undefined, so clean digital logic or Schmitt-trigger buffering is recommended to avoid metastability. Power-down current drops to ≤1.2 mA, with turnoff delay ≤800 ns and turnon delay ≤1000 ns.
Can THS4502IDR operate from a single 5 V supply, and how does performance compare to ±5 V operation?
Yes, THS4502IDR supports single 5 V supply operation with validated performance: small-signal bandwidth drops to 320 MHz (vs 370 MHz at ±5 V), slew rate reduces to 1300 V/µs, and differential output swing shrinks to ±2.6 V (referenced to 2.5 V). Input common-mode range becomes asymmetric (1.6 V to 3.4 V), requiring careful signal centering - but full functionality including VOCM control and power-down remains intact.
What is the significance of the centered input common-mode range in THS4502IDR?
The centered input common-mode range (±3.4 V min at ±5 V supply) means THS4502IDR accepts input signals symmetrically distributed around ground - unlike many amplifiers requiring positive-only or rail-to-rail biased inputs. This enables direct interface with bipolar sensors, legacy op-amp stages, or DACs with dual-rail outputs without external level-shifting, preserving signal integrity and simplifying analog front-end design.
