Product details
Overview
THS4551IRGTT from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, precision fully differential amplifier optimized as a high-accuracy ADC driver for 16- to 24-bit data acquisition systems. It delivers 150-MHz small-signal bandwidth, 220 V/µs differential slew rate, ±175 µV max input offset at 25°C, rail-to-rail output, and negative-rail input - enabling direct dc-coupled interfacing to single-supply SAR and delta-sigma ADCs such as the ADS127L01 and ADS8881.
For engineers reviewing the THS4551IRGTT datasheet, THS4551IRGTT pinout, THS4551IRGTT application, or THS4551IRGTT equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (10-pin WQFN), confirmed VOCM-controlled common-mode range (0.7 V to >3.0 V), validated 18-bit settling time (<500 ns), and real-world ADC interface performance metrics including –139 dBc HD3 at 100 kHz.
Technical Context
The THS4551IRGTT implements a fully differential architecture with independent VOCM input for precise output common-mode control, supporting ADCs operating from 1.8-V to 5-V supplies. Its negative-rail input stage enables ground-centered single-ended source interfacing without level-shifting circuitry.
It features internal matched feedback traces (±0.05 Ω mismatch at 25°C) and robust capacitive load driving capability, maintaining stability into 470-pF loads per output. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C with trimmed supply current of 1.37 mA at 5 V and differential input voltage noise of 3.3 nV/√Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-signal BW | 150 MHz at G = 1 - supports wideband signal conditioning before high-speed ADCs |
| Differential slew rate | 220 V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transient signals without slewing distortion |
| Input offset voltage | ±175 µV max at 25°C - preserves dc accuracy in 20-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma systems |
| HD3 @ 100 kHz | –139 dBc at 2 VPP - minimizes harmonic contamination in precision spectral analysis |
| Supply range | 2.7 V to 5.4 V single supply - simplifies power design in mixed-signal embedded systems |
| Output common-mode range | 0.7 V to >3.0 V - matches common-mode input requirements of modern 1.8-V to 5-V ADCs |
| 18-bit settling time | <500 ns for 4-V step - meets timing budgets for 1 MSPS+ 18-bit SAR converters |
Pinout & Package
THS4551IRGTT is packaged in a 10-pin WQFN (RUN package) with 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm body size and wettable flank leads. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB ground or power plane for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+ | Noninverting input | Accepts single-ended or differential input; supports negative-rail operation down to VS– |
| IN– | Inverting input | Complements IN+ for fully differential gain configuration; matched input impedance |
| OUT+ | Noninverting output | Delivers one leg of differential output pair; rail-to-rail swing up to VS+ – 0.2 V |
| OUT– | Inverting output | Delivers complementary output leg; maintains amplitude and phase balance with OUT+ |
| VOCM | Common-mode voltage input | Directly sets average output DC level; supports wide-range control (0.7 V to >3.0 V) |
| PD | Power-down enable | Logic-high enables operation; logic-low reduces quiescent current to 1 µA max |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.7 V to 5.4 V; multiple pins (10, 3) provide low-impedance connection |
| VS– | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply use; supports true negative-rail input operation |
| NC | No connect | Pins 2 and 8 are internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negative-rail input (NRI) | Enables direct dc-coupled interface to ground-referenced sensors without external level shifters |
| Rail-to-rail output (RRO) | Maximizes dynamic range into ADC inputs by delivering full supply swing on both outputs |
| Trimmed 1.37-mA supply current | Reduces self-heating and improves thermal stability in high-density data acquisition modules |
| Wide VOCM control range | Supports seamless integration with 1.8-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V ADCs via programmable common-mode bias |
| 18-bit settling in <500 ns | Meets timing constraints of 1 MSPS+ SAR ADCs like ADS9110 without external settling aids |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS4521IDGKT | Lower bandwidth (80 MHz), higher input offset (±1 mV), no VOCM pin - fixed common-mode output | Limited to lower-resolution ADCs (≤16-bit) and fixed-supply systems where VOCM flexibility is unnecessary | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and VOCM control needs; not suitable for 24-bit delta-sigma interfaces |
| ADA4940-1ACPZ-R7 | Higher input offset drift (±3.5 µV/°C vs. ±1.8 µV/°C), lower HD3 (–125 dBc), 16-pin LFCSP package only | Better suited for wide-temperature industrial control than metrology-grade data acquisition | Select for extended temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C) with relaxed distortion and offset specs; requires different PCB layout |
Compared with THS4551IRGTT, THS4521IDGKT lacks VOCM control and bandwidth headroom for 20-bit+ SAR drivers, while ADA4940-1ACPZ-R7 trades off distortion and drift performance for broader temperature tolerance - making THS4551IRGTT the optimal choice for metrology-grade 24-bit delta-sigma and high-speed 18-bit SAR signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for THS4551IRGTT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for THS4551IRGTT is 5.5 V across VS+ and VS–, but the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 5.4 V. Operation at 5.4 V is supported across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and maintains all specified AC and DC performance, including 150-MHz bandwidth and ±175 µV input offset. Exceeding 5.4 V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does THS4551IRGTT support true dc-coupled single-ended-to-differential conversion?
Yes, THS4551IRGTT supports true dc-coupled single-ended-to-differential conversion via its negative-rail input (NRI) architecture and VOCM pin. When configured with IN– grounded and IN+ driven by a ground-centered source, the device maintains full dc accuracy (±175 µV offset) and delivers balanced differential outputs referenced to any common-mode voltage between 0.7 V and >3.0 V - eliminating the need for ac-coupling capacitors or level-shifting circuitry in precision data acquisition systems.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the THS4551IRGTT WQFN package?
The THS4551IRGTT in the 10-pin WQFN (RUN) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 142°C/W under standard JEDEC JESD51-7 conditions. This value assumes a 1-in² 2-oz copper pad with two vias; actual board-level RθJA will improve with enhanced thermal land design, including multiple thermal vias to an internal ground plane. The device's 1.37-mA quiescent current limits self-heating, enabling reliable operation at +125°C ambient.
Can THS4551IRGTT drive heavy capacitive loads commonly found in ADC input networks?
Yes, THS4551IRGTT is characterized for robust capacitive load driving, maintaining stability into 470-pF loads per output (as shown in the ADS127L01 interface schematic). Its fully differential architecture and internal compensation ensure monotonic step response and <50-ns 0.01% settling even with 470-pF parallel capacitance, making it suitable for direct connection to ADC inputs with anti-aliasing filters and input protection networks without external isolation resistors.
Is THS4551IRGTT pin-compatible with other members of the THS45xx family?
THS4551IRGTT is pin-compatible with THS4521IDGKT only in the 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package - not in the 10-pin WQFN (RUN) or 16-pin VQFN (RGT) variants. The THS4551IRGTT uses the RUN package with unique pin 2 and pin 8 NC assignments, whereas THS4521 in DGK places PD on pin 7 and VOCM on pin 2. Substituting THS4551IRGTT for THS4521 in a WQFN layout requires no PCB changes, but migration from VSSOP to WQFN demands layout revision.
