The THS4500 and THS4501 are high-performance fully  
differential amplifiers from Texas Instruments. The  
THS4500, featuring power-down capability, and the  
THS4501, without power-down capability, set new  
performance standards for fully differential amplifiers  
with unsurpassed linearity, supporting 14-bit operation  
through 40 MHz. Package options include the 8-pin  
SOIC and the 8-pin MSOP with PowerPADfor a  
smaller footprint, enhanced ac performance, and  
improved thermal dissipation capability.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas  
Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be  
handledwith appropriate precautions. Failure to observe  
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
over operating free-air temperature range unless otherwise noted  
(1)  
proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to  
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could  
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

This data was taken using the JEDEC standard High-K test PCB.  
Power rating is determined with a junction temperature of 125°C.  
This is the point where distortion starts to substantially increase.  
Thermalmanagement of the final PCB should strive to keep the  
junctiontemperature at or below 125°C for best performance and  
long term reliability.

Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.  
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods  
may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and  
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions  
beyond those specified is not implied.  
The THS4500/1 may incorporate a PowerPADon the underside  
of the chip. This acts as a heat sink and must be connected to a  
thermally dissipative plane for proper power dissipation. Failure  
to do so may result in exceeding the maximum junction  
temperature which could permanently damage the device. See TI  
technical briefs SLMA002 and SLMA004 for more information  
about utilizing the PowerPAD thermally enhanced package.  
The absolute maximum temperature under any condition is  
limited by the constraints of the silicon process.

Differential signaling offers a number of performance  
advantages in high-speed analog signal processing  
systems, including immunity to external common-mode  
noise, suppression of even-order nonlinearities, and  
increased dynamic range. Fully differential amplifiers not  
only serve as the primary means of providing gain to a  
differential signal chain, but also provide a monolithic  
solution for converting single-ended signals into  
differential signals for easier, higher performance  
processing. The THS4500 family of amplifiers contains  
products in Texas Instruments’ expanding line of  
high-performance fully differential amplifiers. Information  
on fully differential amplifier fundamentals, as well as  
implementation specific information, is presented in the  
applications section of this data sheet to provide a better  
understanding of the operation of the THS4500 family of  
devices, and to simplify the design process for designs  
using these amplifiers.

A standard configuration for the device is shown in the  
figure. The functionality of a fully differential amplifier can  
be imagined as two inverting amplifiers that share a  
common noninverting terminal (though the voltage is not  
necessarily fixed). For more information on the basic  
theory of operation for fully differential amplifiers, refer to  
the Texas Instruments application note titled Fully  
Differential Amplifiers, literature number SLOA054.

The key difference between the THS4500/1 and the  
THS4502/3 is the input common-mode range for the two  
devices. The THS4502 and THS4503 have an input  
common-mode range that is centered around midrail, and  
the THS4500 and THS4501 have an input common-mode  
range that is shifted to include the negative power supply  
rail. Selection of one or the other is determined by the  
nature of the application. Specifically, the THS4500 and  
THS4501 are designed for use in single-supply  
applications where the input signal is ground-referenced,  
as depicted in Figure 97. The THS4502 and THS4503 are  
designed for use in single-supply or split-supply  
applications where the input signal is centered between  
the power supply voltages, as depicted in Figure 98.

Diagram For Input Common-Mode Range Equations  
Application Circuit for the THS4500 and THS4501,  
Featuring Split-Supply Operation With an Input  
Signal Referenced at the Midrail  
Figure 99  
The two tables below depict the input common-mode  
range requirements for two different input scenarios, an  
input referenced around the negative rail and an input  
referenced around midrail. The tables highlight the  
differing requirements on input common-mode range, and  
illustrate reasoning for choosing either the THS4500/1 or  
the THS4502/3. For signals referenced around the  
negative power supply, the THS4500/1 should be chosen  
since its input common-mode range includes the negative  
supply rail. For all other situations, the THS4502/3 offers  
slightly improved distortion and noise performance for  
applications with input signals centered between the  
power supply rails.  
Figure 98  
Equations 1−5 allow for calculation of the required input  
common-mode range for a given set of input conditions.  
The equations allow calculation of the input common-  
mode range requirements given information about the  
input signal, the output voltage swing, the gain, and the  
output common-mode voltage. Calculating the maximum  
and minimum voltage required for V and V (the  
N
P
amplifier’s input nodes) determines whether or not the  
input common-mode range is violated or not. Four  
equations are required. Two calculate the output voltages  
and two calculate the node voltages at V and V (note  
that only one of these needs calculation, as the amplifier  
forces a virtual short between the two nodes).

The selection of feedback and gain resistors impacts  
circuit performance in a number of ways. The values in this  
section provide the optimum high frequency performance  
(lowest distortion, flat frequency response). Since the  
THS4500 family of amplifiers is developed with a voltage  
feedback architecture, the choice of resistor values does  
not have a dominant effect on bandwidth, unlike a current  
feedback amplifier. However, resistor choices do have  
second-order effects. For optimal performance, the  
following feedback resistor values are recommended. In  
higher gain configurations (gain greater than two), the  
feedback resistor values have much less effect on the high  
frequency performance. Example feedback and gain  
resistor values are given in the section on basic design  
considerations (Table 3).

Amplifier loading, noise, and the flatness of the frequency  
response are three design parameters that should be  
considered when selecting feedback resistors. Larger  
resistor values contribute more noise and can induce  
peaking in the ac response in low gain configurations, and  
smaller resistor values can load the amplifier more heavily,  
resulting in a reduction in distortion performance. In  
addition, feedback resistor values, coupled with gain  
requirements, determine the value of the gain resistors,  
directly impacting the input impedance of the entire circuit.  
While there are no strict rules about resistor selection,  
these trends can provide qualitative design guidance.

eliminates this problem.  
Be cognizant of the input common-mode range. If the  
input signal is referenced around the negative power  
supply rail (e.g., around ground on a single 5 V  
supply), then the THS4500/1 accommodates the  
input signal. If the input signal is referenced around  
midrail, choose the THS4502/3 for the best operation.

the fully differential amplifier when performing  
system-level intercept point calculations. Lighter  
loads (such as those presented by an ADC) allow  
smaller intercept points to support the same level of

Minimize inductance in power supply decoupling  
traces and components. Poor power supply  
decoupling can have a dramatic effect on circuit  
performance. Since the outputs are differential,  
differential currents exist in the power supply pins.  
Thus, decoupling capacitors should be placed in a  
manner that minimizes the impedance of the current  
loop.

Use separate analog and digital power supplies and  
grounds. Noise (bounce) in the power supplies  
(created by digital switching currents) can couple  
directly into the signal path, and power supply noise  
can create higher distortion products as well.  
The THS4500 family of devices is designed to drive  
high-performance ADCs with extremely high linearity,  
allowing for the maximum effective number of bits at the  
output of the data converter. Two representative circuits  
shown below highlight single-supply operation and split  
supply operation. Specific feedback resistor, gain resistor,  
and feedback capacitor values are not specified, as their  
values depend on the frequency of interest. Information on  
calculating these values can be found in the applications  
material above.  
Use care when filtering. While an RC low-pass filter  
may be desirable on the output of the amplifier to filter  
broadband noise, the excess loading can negatively  
impact the amplifier linearity. Filtering in the feedback  
path does not have this effect.

two 50-kresistors. While the high impedance allows for  
relaxed drive requirements, it also allows the pin and any  
associated printed-circuit board traces to act as an  
antenna. For this reason, a decoupling capacitor is  
recommended on this node for the sole purpose of filtering  
any high frequency noise that could couple into the signal  
The THS4500 family of fully differential amplifiers contains  
devices that come with and without the power-down  
option. Even-numbered devices have power-down  
capability, which is described in detail here.  
The power-down pin of the amplifiers defaults to the  
positive supply voltage in the absence of an applied  
voltage (i.e. an internal pullup resistor is present), putting  
the amplifier in the power-on mode of operation. To turn off  
the amplifier in an effort to conserve power, the  
power-down pin can be driven towards the negative rail.  
The threshold voltages for power-on and power-down are  
relative to the supply rails and given in the specification  
tables. Above the enable threshold voltage, the device is  
on. Below the disable threshold voltage, the device is off.

capacitance is a reasonable value for eliminating a great  
deal of broadband interference, but additional, tuned

Note that this power-down functionality is just that; the  
amplifier consumes less power in power-down mode. The  
common-mode voltage, the ability for increased power  
dissipation exists. While this does not pose a performance  
problem for the amplifier, it can cause additional power  
dissipation of which the system designer should be aware.  
The circuit shown in Figure 106 demonstrates an  
example of this phenomenon. For a device operating on  
a single 5-V supply with an input signal referenced around  
ground and an output common-mode voltage of 2.5 V, a  
dc potential exists between the outputs and the inputs of  
the device. The amplifier sources current into the  
feedback network in order to provide the circuit with the  
proper operating point. While there are no serious effects  
on the circuit performance, the extra power dissipation  
may need to be included in the system’s power budget.  
power-down mode is not intended to provide  
a
high-impedance output. In other words, the power-down  
functionality is not intended to allow use as a 3-state bus  
driver. When in power-down mode, the impedance looking  
back into the output of the amplifier is dominated by the  
feedback and gain setting resistors.  
The time delays associated with turning the device on and  
off are specified as the time it takes for the amplifier to  
reach 50% of the nominal quiescent current. The time  
delays are on the order of microseconds because the  
amplifier moves in and out of the linear mode of operation  
in these transitions.

The THS4500 family of devices features unprecedented

Amplifiers are generally thought of as linear devices. In  
other words, the output of an amplifier is a linearly scaled  
version of the input signal applied to it. In reality, however,  
amplifier transfer functions are nonlinear. Minimizing  
amplifier nonlinearity is a primary design goal in many  
applications.

Figure 108  
Due to the intercept point’s ease of use in system level  
calculations for receiver chains, it has become the  
specification of choice for guiding distortion-related design  
decisions. Traditionally, these systems use primarily  
class-A, single-ended RF amplifiers as gain blocks. These  
RF amplifiers are typically designed to operate in a 50-Ω  
environment, just like the rest of the receiver chain. Since  
intercept points are given in dBm, this implies an  
associated impedance (50 ).  
Intercept points are specifications that have long been  
used as key design criteria in the RF communications  
world as a metric for the intermodulation distortion  
performance of a device in the signal chain (e.g.,  
amplifiers, mixers, etc.). Use of the intercept point, rather  
than strictly the intermodulation distortion, allows for  
simpler system-level calculations. Intercept points, like  
noise figures, can be easily cascaded back and forth  
through a signal chain to determine the overall receiver  
chain’s intermodulation distortion performance. The  
relationship between intermodulation distortion and  
intercept point is depicted in Figure 107 and Figure 108.  
However, with a fully differential amplifier, the output does  
not require termination as an RF amplifier would. Because  
closed-loop amplifiers deliver signals to their outputs  
regardless of the impedance present, it is important to  
comprehend this when evaluating the intercept point of a  
fully differential amplifier. The THS4500 series of devices  
yields optimum distortion performance when loaded with  
200 to 1 k, very similar to the input impedance of an  
analog-to-digital converter over its input frequency band.  
As a result, terminating the input of the ADC to 50 can  
actually be detrimental to system performance.

As can be seen in the equation, when a higher impedance  
is used, the same level of intermodulation distortion  
performance results in a lower intercept point. Therefore,  
it is important to comprehend the impedance seen by the  
output of the fully differential amplifier when selecting a

Noise analysis in fully differential amplifiers is analogous  
to noise analysis in single-ended amplifiers. The same  
concepts apply. Below, a generic circuit diagram  
consisting of a voltage source, a termination resistor, two  
gain setting resistors, two feedback resistors, and a fully  
differential amplifier is shown, including all the relevant  
noise sources. From this circuit, the noise factor (F) and  
noise figure (NF) are calculated. The figures indicate the  
appropriate scaling factor for each of the noise sources in  
two different cases. The first case includes the termination

Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac ground for all

output and input pins can cause instability. To reduce  
unwanted capacitance, a window around the signal

Minimize the distance (< 0.25”) from the power supply  
pins to high frequency 0.1-µF decoupling capacitors.  
At the device pins, the ground and power plane layout  
should not be in close proximity to the signal I/O pins.  
Avoid narrow power and ground traces to minimize  
inductance between the pins and the decoupling  
capacitors. The power supply connections should  
always be decoupled with these capacitors. Larger  
(6.8 µF or more) tantalum decoupling capacitors,  
effective at lower frequency, should also be used on  
the main supply pins. These may be placed somewhat  
farther from the device and may be shared among  
several devices in the same area of the PC board. The  
primary goal is to minimize the impedance seen in the  
differential-current return paths.

performance of the THS4500 family. Resistors should  
be a very low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors  
work best and allow a tighter overall layout. Metal-film  
and carbon composition, axially-leaded resistors can  
also provide good high frequency performance.  
Again, keep their leads and PC board trace length as  
short as possible. Never use wirewound type resistors  
in a high frequency application. Since the output pin  
and inverting input pins are the most sensitive to  
parasitic capacitance, always position the feedback  
and series output resistors, if any, as close as possible  
to the inverting input pins and output pins. Other  
network components, such as input termination  
resistors, should be placed close to the gain-setting  
resistors. Even with a low parasitic capacitance  
shunting the external resistors, excessively high  
resistor values can create significant time constants  
that can degrade performance. Good axial metal-film  
or surface-mount resistors have approximately 0.2 pF  
in shunt with the resistor. For resistor values > 2.0 k,  
this parasitic capacitance can add a pole and/or a zero  
below 400 MHz that can effect circuit operation. Keep  
resistor values as low as possible, consistent with  
load driving considerations.

thermal contact with the die, excellent thermal  
performance can be achieved by providing a good thermal  
path away from the thermal pad.

to operate with a 2-pF parasitic load. Higher parasitic  
The PowerPAD package allows for both assembly and  
thermal management in one manufacturing operation.  
During the surface-mount solder operation (when the  
leads are being soldered), the thermal pad can also be  
soldered to a copper area underneath the package.  
Through the use of thermal paths within this copper area,  
heat can be conducted away from the package into either  
a ground plane or other heat dissipating device.  
capacitive loads without an R are allowed as the  
S
signal gain increases (increasing the unloaded phase  
margin). If a long trace is required, and the 6-dB signal  
loss intrinsic to a doubly-terminated transmission line  
is acceptable, implement a matched impedance  
transmission line using microstrip or stripline  
techniques (consult an ECL design handbook for  
microstrip and stripline layout techniques).  
The PowerPAD package represents a breakthrough in  
combining the small area and ease of assembly of surface  
mount with the, heretofore, awkward mechanical methods  
of heatsinking.  
A 50-environment is normally not necessary  
onboard, and in fact, a higher impedance environment  
improves distortion as shown in the distortion versus  
load plots. With  
a characteristic board trace

impedance defined based on board material and trace  
dimensions, a matching series resistor into the trace  
from the output of the THS4500 family is used as well  
as a terminating shunt resistor at the input of the  
destination device.

Remember also that the terminating impedance is the  
parallel combination of the shunt resistor and the input  
impedance of the destination device: this total  
effective impedance should be set to match the trace  
impedance. If the 6-dB attenuation of a doubly  
terminated transmission line is unacceptable, a long  
trace can be series-terminated at the source end only.  
Treat the trace as a capacitive load in this case. This  
does not preserve signal integrity as well as a  
doubly-terminated line. If the input impedance of the  
destination device is low, there is some signal  
attenuation due to the voltage divider formed by the  
series output into the terminating impedance.

Socketing a high speed part like the THS4500 family

create an extremely troublesome parasitic network

smooth, stable frequency response. Best results are  
obtained by soldering the THS4500 family parts

PowerPAD DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS  
The THS4500 family is available in a thermally-enhanced  
PowerPAD family of packages. These packages are  
constructed using a downset leadframe upon which the die  
is mounted [see Figure 115(a) and Figure 115(b)]. This  
arrangement results in the lead frame being exposed as a  
thermal pad on the underside of the package [see  
PowerPAD PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
1. Prepare the PCB with a top side etch pattern as shown  
in Figure 116. There should be etch for the leads as  
well as etch for the thermal pad.

2. Place five holes in the area of the thermal pad. These  
holes should be 13 mils in diameter. Keep them small  
so that solder wicking through the holes is not a  
problem during reflow.  
The thermal characteristics of the device are dictated by  
the package and the PC board. Maximum power  
dissipation for a given package can be calculated using the  
following formula.  
3. Additional vias may be placed anywhere along the  
thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area. This  
helps dissipate the heat generated by the THS4500  
family IC. These additional vias may be larger than the  
13-mil diameter vias directly under the thermal pad.  
They can be larger because they are not in the thermal  
pad area to be soldered so that wicking is not a  
problem.

5. When connecting these holes to the ground plane, do  
not use the typical web or spoke via connection  
methodology. Web connections have a high thermal  
resistance connection that is useful for slowing the  
heat transfer during soldering operations. This makes  
the soldering of vias that have plane connections  
easier. In this application, however, low thermal  
resistance is desired for the most efficient heat  
transfer. Therefore, the holes under the THS4500  
family PowerPAD package should make their  
connection to the internal ground plane with a  
complete connection around the entire circumference  
of the plated-through hole.  
For systems where heat dissipation is more critical, the  
THS4500 family of devices is offered in an 8-pin MSOP  
with PowerPAD. The thermal coefficient for the MSOP  
PowerPAD package is substantially improved over the  
traditional SOIC. Maximum power dissipation levels are  
depicted in the graph for the two packages. The data for  
the DGN package assumes a board layout that follows the  
PowerPAD layout guidelines referenced above and  
detailed in the PowerPAD application notes in the  
Additional Reference Material section at the end of the  
data sheet.  
6. The top-side solder mask should leave the terminals  
of the package and the thermal pad area with its five  
holes exposed. The bottom-side solder mask should  
cover the five holes of the thermal pad area. This  
prevents solder from being pulled away from the  
thermal pad area during the reflow process.

POWER DISSIPATION AND THERMAL  
CONSIDERATIONS  
Figure 117. Maximum Power Dissipation vs  
Ambient Temperature  
The THS4500 family of devices does not incorporate  
automatic thermal shutoff protection, so the designer must  
take care to ensure that the design does not violate the  
absolute maximum junction temperature of the device.  
Failure may result if the absolute maximum junction  
temperature of 150°C is exceeded. For best performance,  
design for a maximum junction temperature of 125°C.  
Between 125°C and 150°C, damage does not occur, but  
the performance of the amplifier begins to degrade.  
When determining whether or not the device satisfies the  
maximum power dissipation requirement, it is important to  
not only consider quiescent power dissipation, but also  
dynamic power dissipation. Often times, this is difficult to  
quantify because the signal pattern is inconsistent, but an  
estimate of the RMS power dissipation can provide  
visibility into a possible problem.

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS  
EVALUATION FIXTURES, SPICE MODELS,  
AND APPLICATIONS SUPPORT  
High-speed amplifiers are typically not well-suited for  
driving large capacitive loads. If necessary, however, the  
load capacitance should be isolated by two isolation  
resistors in series with the output. The requisite isolation  
resistor size depends on the value of the capacitance, but  
10 to 25 is a good place to begin the optimization  
process. Larger isolation resistors decrease the amount of  
peaking in the frequency response induced by the  
capacitive load, but this comes at the expense of larger  
voltage drop across the resistors, increasing the output  
swing requirements of the system.  
Texas Instruments is committed to providing its customers  
with the highest quality of applications support. To support  
this goal, an evaluation board has been developed for the  
THS4500 family of fully differential amplifiers. The  
evaluation board can be obtained by ordering through the  
Texas Instruments web site, www.ti.com, or through your  
local Texas Instruments sales representative. Schematic  
for the evaluation board is shown below with the default  
component values. Unpopulated footprints are shown to  
provide insight into design flexibility.

Power supply decoupling is a critical aspect of any  
high-performance amplifier design process. Careful  
decoupling provides higher quality ac performance (most  
notably improved distortion performance). The following  
guidelines ensure the highest level of performance.  
Figure 119  
Computer simulation of circuit performance using SPICE  
is often useful when analyzing the performance of analog  
circuits and systems. This is particularly true for video and  
RF amplifier circuits where parasitic capacitance and  
inductance can have a major effect on circuit performance.  
A SPICE model for the THS4500 family of devices is  
available through either the Texas Instruments web site  
(www.ti.com) or as one model on a disk from the Texas  
1. Place decoupling capacitors as close to the power  
supply inputs as possible, with the goal of minimizing  
the inductance of the path from ground to the power  
supply.

capacitors should be closer to the device.

small-signal ac and transient performance under a wide  
variety of operating conditions. They are not intended to

about what is and is not modeled is contained in the model

A 1000-pF capacitor can be used across the supplies  
as well for extremely high frequency return currents,  
but often is not required.
