Product details
Overview
THS4505DGK from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, fully differential amplifier optimized for driving 12-bit, 80-MSps analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in high-fidelity signal chains. 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 single-ended-to-differential conversion in wireless receiver front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the THS4505DGK datasheet, THS4505DGK pinout, THS4505DGK application, or THS4505DGK equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios in ADC interface and active filtering, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The THS4505DGK implements a fully differential architecture with independent output common-mode voltage control via VOCM pin, supporting precise DC-coupled interfacing to ADC inputs. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail (–5.7 V at ±5 V supply), enabling direct connection to ground-referenced sensors or DAC outputs without level-shifting.
It features a high-speed, low-distortion transconductance stage followed by a class-AB output buffer, delivering ±8 V differential swing into 1 kΩ load and maintaining >–65 dB output balance error up to 100 kHz. Unlike the THS4504, it lacks power-down functionality - confirmed by pin assignment (PD pin is NC) and electrical characteristics tables excluding power-down parameters.
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. |
| Slew rate | 1800 V/µs (±5 V): enables clean 2 VPP step response with <1 ns rise/fall time for fast transient fidelity. |
| IMD3 distortion | –73 dBc at 30 MHz, 200 kHz tone spacing: meets linearity requirements for LTE/WiMAX baseband receivers. |
| OIP3 | 29 dBm at 30 MHz (50 Ω referenced): ensures robust dynamic range in high-interference RF front-ends. |
| Input voltage noise | 8 nV/√Hz (>1 MHz): minimizes added noise when amplifying low-level sensor or mixer outputs. |
| Quiescent current | 25 mA max (±5 V, +85°C): balances performance and thermal dissipation in compact MSOP-8 layout. |
| Common-mode input range | –5.7 V to +2.6 V (±5 V): allows direct interface to unipolar or bipolar sources without external biasing. |
Pinout & Package
THS4505DGK is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package) with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™), optimized for high-frequency stability and thermal management in space-constrained PCBs. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts complementary signal or feedback path in inverting configuration. |
| VIN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; used for single-ended-to-differential conversion when VIN− is grounded or biased. |
| VOCM | Output common-mode control | DC voltage setting point for VOUT+ and VOUT− average; sets ADC reference midpoint (e.g., 2.5 V for 5 V supply). |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts +5 V, +12 V, or +15 V single supply or +5 V/+7.5 V dual supply; decoupling required per datasheet. |
| VOUT+ | Positive differential output | Drives ADC's AIN+ or filter network; maintains tight amplitude/phase match with VOUT−. |
| VS− | Negative supply | Required for dual-supply operation (e.g., –5 V); tied to GND for single-supply mode (5 V). |
| VOUT− | Negative differential output | Complementary output to VOUT+; balance error ≤–65 dB ensures <0.05% amplitude mismatch at baseband. |
| PD | Power-down (No Connect) | NC on THS4505 - no internal connection; must be left floating or tied to VS− to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential architecture | Rejects even-order harmonics and common-mode noise, improving SNR in mixed-signal systems. |
| Output common-mode control (VOCM) | Enables precise DC alignment to ADC input range without external resistive dividers or op-amps. |
| Input common-mode range includes VS− | Supports ground-referenced inputs (e.g., from DACs or sensors) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Wide supply range (±5 V to ±7.5 V / 5 V to 15 V) | Allows reuse across multiple system rails - e.g., ±5 V for test equipment, +12 V for industrial data acquisition. |
| 260 MHz bandwidth & –73 dBc IMD3 | Meets ENOB >11.5 bits at 30 MHz input for 12-bit ADCs like ADS5463 or AD9434. |
Applications
| Wireless Baseband Receiver | High-Speed Data Acquisition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4504DGK | Identical pinout and AC specs, but adds PD pin with 800 µA power-down current; quiescent current rises to 25 mA max (vs. THS4505's 25 mA max). | Required where system-level power gating is needed (e.g., battery-powered portable instruments). | Select THS4504DGK only if power-down functionality is mandatory; THS4505DGK offers identical performance with simpler biasing. |
| LMH5401RTVT | Higher 1.2 GHz bandwidth, 3000 V/µs slew rate, but higher 25 mA quiescent current and no VOCM pin - output common-mode fixed at VCC/2. | Suitable for >100 MHz IF sampling, but requires external level-shifting for non-VCC/2 ADC references. | Choose LMH5401RTVT for ultra-wideband applications beyond 260 MHz; THS4505DGK remains optimal for 12-bit, 80-MSps ADC interfaces with VOCM flexibility. |
Compared with THS4504DGK, THS4505DGK eliminates power-down complexity while retaining identical linearity and bandwidth - ideal for always-on instrumentation. Versus LMH5401RTVT, THS4505DGK trades bandwidth for VOCM control and lower distortion at 30 MHz, better matching 12-bit ADC interface requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for THS4505DGK?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for THS4505DGK is ±7.5 V for dual supply or 15 V for single supply, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage. For reliable 12-bit ADC interface performance, TI specifies ±5 V or 5 V operation as nominal - delivering optimal distortion and bandwidth while staying within thermal limits of the MSOP-8 PowerPAD package.
Does THS4505DGK support single-supply operation?
Yes, THS4505DGK supports true single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 15 V. When using 5 V supply, VS− is connected to ground, VOCM is typically biased to 2.5 V, and the input common-mode range shifts to –0.7 V to +2.6 V - allowing compatibility with ground-referenced sources. The datasheet confirms 210 MHz small-signal bandwidth and –72 dBc IMD3 under 5 V conditions, making it viable for portable and low-voltage systems.
What is the function of the PD pin on THS4505DGK?
The PD (Power-Down) pin on THS4505DGK is a No Connect (NC) terminal - it has no internal connection and must not be driven. This distinguishes THS4505DGK from THS4504DGK, which uses PD for enable/disable control. Leaving PD floating or tying it to VS− avoids parasitic coupling; routing it to any active voltage violates the "NC" designation and may degrade noise or stability performance.
How does VOCM pin affect THS4505DGK output behavior?
The VOCM pin directly sets the average DC voltage of VOUT+ and VOUT−, enabling precise alignment to an ADC's input common-mode requirement (e.g., 2.5 V for a 5 V-supplied ADC). With VOCM = 2.5 V, THS4505DGK delivers symmetrical ±3.3 V differential swing (6.6 VPP) into 1 kΩ. Its VOCM control loop maintains <1 mV offset error and supports 200 MHz small-signal bandwidth, ensuring dynamic common-mode tracking during fast signal transitions.
Is THS4505DGK pin-compatible with other devices in the THS450x family?
Yes, THS4505DGK shares identical 8-pin MSOP (DGK) pinout with THS4504DGK, THS4502DGK, and THS4503DGK - including VIN−, VIN+, VOCM, VS+, VOUT+, VS−, VOUT−, and PD/NC positions. However, THS4502/THS4503 feature centered input common-mode range (not rail-to-rail), and THS4504 includes functional PD logic. Thus, while physically interchangeable, electrical behavior differs - THS4505DGK is not a drop-in replacement without verifying VOCM and input range compatibility.
