THS4150

The THS415x is one in a family of differential-input/differential-output devices fabricated using Texas Instruments' state-of-the-art BiCom I complementary bipolar process.

The THS415x consists of a true differential signal path from input to output. This results in excellent common-mode noise rejection and improved total harmonic distortion. Not only does the THS415x provide balanced, differential outputs, but internal feedback reduces the effects of parametric differences in gain-setting components between sides.

Designed for high-performance, 12-bit applications, the THS415x has 144 MHz bandwidth, 830 V/ms slew rate, and -82 dB third harmonic distortion at 1 MHz. Combined with its differential outputs, these specifications make the THS415x ideal for driving high-performance analog-to-digital converters.

The THS415x also offers many advantages for improving system designs. THS415x's differential outputs make single-ended to differential conversion simple and efficient. The VOCM input provides easy level-shifting and, when driven by an ADC reference voltage, ensures that the ADC differential inputs are centered in its dynamic range.

Its inherent common-mode noise rejection makes the THS415x ideal for distributing critical signals across a printed-circuit board.

The THS415x is offered in a standard 8-pin SOIC package (D) and an 8-pin MSOP PowerPADE package (DGN). The low-power shutdown capability is offered as an option in the THS4150. The device operates over the industrial temperature range of 40°C to 85°C.
