Product details
Overview
THS4504DGN from Texas Instruments is a wideband, low-distortion, fully differential amplifier with power-down capability, designed for high-fidelity signal conditioning in ADC driver and RF receiver chain applications. It delivers 260 MHz small-signal bandwidth, –73 dBc third-order intermodulation distortion at 30 MHz, and 1800 V/µs slew rate under ±5 V supply, enabling precise 12-bit, 80 MSps data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the THS4504DGN datasheet, THS4504DGN pinout, THS4504DGN application, or THS4504DGN equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios in wireless receivers and active filtering, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The THS4504DGN implements a fully differential architecture with independent output common-mode voltage control via the VOCM pin, supporting both single-ended-to-differential and differential-to-differential conversion. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail (–5.7 V at ±5 V supply), enabling direct interfacing with ground-referenced sources.
Power-down functionality is implemented through a dedicated PD pin with defined enable/disable thresholds (≥2.1 V ON, ≤0.7 V OFF under 5 V supply), reducing quiescent current from 14–21 mA to ≤1.2 mA while maintaining high-impedance outputs and controlled turn-on/off delays (1000 ns / 800 ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal bandwidth | 260 MHz at G = 1, ±5 V supply - supports wideband IF sampling up to 125 MHz Nyquist zone without gain peaking. |
| Slew rate | 1800 V/µs (±5 V) - enables full-scale 2 VPP step response within 1.1 ns rise time for high-speed transient fidelity. |
| IMD3 distortion | –73 dBc at 30 MHz, 200 kHz tone spacing - ensures <0.2% harmonic corruption in 3G/4G LTE receiver front-ends. |
| OIP3 | 29 dBm at 30 MHz, referenced to 50 Ω - provides robust linearity margin before compression in baseband-to-IF stages. |
| Input voltage noise | 8 nV/√Hz above 1 MHz - minimizes added noise floor when driving 12-bit ADCs with ≥70 dB SNR requirement. |
| Power-down current | ≤1200 µA max at +85°C - reduces system standby power by >90% while preserving bias state for fast wake-up. |
| Common-mode input range | –5.7 V to +2.6 V (±5 V supply) - accepts rail-to-rail single-ended inputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
THS4504DGN is housed in an 8-pin MSOP-PowerPAD™ (DGN) package with exposed thermal pad electrically isolated from all pins. The PowerPAD enhances thermal dissipation (θJC = 4.7°C/W), enabling stable operation at 685 mW continuous power at +85°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts signals down to –5.7 V with rail-to-rail CMVR support. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; complements VIN− for balanced signal acquisition. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | DC-biases differential outputs to user-defined voltage (1–3.7 V range at 5 V supply); defaults to 2.5 V when floating. |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts +5 V, +12 V, or +15 V single supply or +5 V/+7.5 V dual supply; internal regulation not required. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Delivers amplified, phase-aligned signal; maintains balance error ≤–65 dB up to 100 kHz. |
| PD | Power-down enable | Active-high logic input; asserts shutdown when ≤0.7 V, entering ultra-low-current mode in <1 µs. |
| VS− | Negative supply | Required for dual-supply operation (e.g., –5 V); may be tied to GND for single-supply use. |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; enables true differential signaling into ADC or transmission line. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on PCB traces and cables, improving SNR by ≥70 dB over single-ended drivers. |
| Output common-mode voltage control | Allows precise alignment of differential output swing to ADC reference mid-point (e.g., 2.5 V), eliminating DC blocking capacitors. |
| Power-down capability | Reduces system idle power by >90% while retaining pin states; supports rapid reactivation (<1.5 µs total latency). |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Enables direct connection to ground-referenced sensors or DAC outputs without external level shifters. |
| High OIP3 and low IMD3 | Supports multi-carrier LTE/WCDMA signals with minimal adjacent-channel interference in receiver I/Q paths. |
Applications
| Wireless Communication Receiver | High-Speed Data Acquisition |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Front-end IF amplifier in 3G/4G base station receiver, converting single-ended mixer output to differential input for 12-bit, 80 MSps ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADC driver with gain = 1, providing matched amplitude/phase paths and VOCM-controlled common-mode offset. Use Value: –73 dBc IMD3 at 30 MHz prevents spectral regrowth that would violate ACLR mask requirements in multi-carrier systems. |
Use Scenario: Buffering and level-shifting analog sensor output (e.g., strain gauge bridge) into SAR ADC with internal reference. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision gain stage with rail-to-rail input, rejecting EMI-coupled noise on long sensor cables. Use Value: 8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise preserves >70 dB SNR in 100 kHz bandwidth measurement channels. |
| Active Differential Filtering | Single-Ended to Differential Conversion |
Use Scenario: Implementing 2nd-order active bandpass filter between RF demodulator and ADC, using THS4504DGN as transconductance element. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fully differential op-amp core in MFB topology, with VOCM setting filter center DC bias. Use Value: 260 MHz GBW ensures filter group delay flatness across 20 MHz passband with <0.1 dB ripple. |
Use Scenario: Converting output of single-ended DAC (e.g., DAC8830) to differential format for driving balanced transmission lines or transformerless ADC inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unity-gain inverter with VOCM = VREF/2, matching output impedance and common-mode to downstream stage. Use Value: Output balance error ≤–65 dB eliminates even-order harmonics that degrade SFDR in precision DAC applications. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4505DGN | No power-down pin; identical AC/DC specs, same MSOP-PowerPAD package and pinout except PD → NC. | Preferred where continuous operation is required and power gating adds complexity or risk of timing glitches. | Select THS4505DGN if system does not require dynamic power cycling and board layout must remain unchanged. |
| THS4521RGTT | Lower bandwidth (1.8 GHz GBW vs 260 MHz SS BW), higher supply current (25 mA vs 14–21 mA), 16-pin QFN package. | Better suited for >100 MHz IF sampling or JESD204B serializer interface; not drop-in due to pin count and footprint mismatch. | Choose THS4521RGTT only when >500 MSPS ADC interface or ultra-low noise (4.3 nV/√Hz) is mandatory. |
Compared with THS4505DGN, THS4504DGN adds power-down control at minor cost in quiescent current overhead; compared with THS4521RGTT, it offers proven 12-bit linearity at lower power and smaller footprint but lacks GHz-range bandwidth for next-gen ADCs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for THS4504DGN?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for THS4504DGN is ±7.5 V for dual supply or 15 V for single supply. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage. Recommended operating range is ±5 V to ±7.5 V dual or 4.5 V to 15 V single supply, with thermal derating applied above +85°C ambient per the DGN package dissipation ratings table.
Does THS4504DGN require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, THS4504DGN is internally compensated for unity-gain stability across its specified operating conditions. The datasheet confirms stable small-signal unity-gain frequency response up to 260 MHz with no external components required when driving ≥800 Ω loads, as verified in Figure 1 and Table 1.
How does the VOCM pin function when left unconnected on THS4504DGN?
When VOCM is left floating, THS4504DGN defaults to a nominal 2.5 V output common-mode voltage under 5 V supply (±0.1 V tolerance). This default enables immediate operation without external biasing, though precision applications should drive VOCM with a low-impedance source (e.g., resistor divider from VREF) to minimize drift and noise coupling.
What is the typical power-down quiescent current of THS4504DGN at +25°C?
The typical power-down quiescent current of THS4504DGN is 800 µA at +25°C, with a maximum of 1200 µA over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is measured with PD ≤0.7 V, VS = ±5 V, and no load, confirming >90% reduction versus active-mode current (14–21 mA).
Can THS4504DGN drive a 50 Ω differential load directly?
THS4504DGN is not rated for continuous 50 Ω differential load driving. Its minimum specified load is 20 Ω per output (100 mA min drive), but sustained 50 Ω operation exceeds thermal limits in the MSOP-PowerPAD package. For 50 Ω interfaces, use series termination (e.g., 49.9 Ω) or buffer with a line driver; refer to Figure 28 load resistance vs output voltage curves for derating guidance.
