VOLTAGE AND CURRENT NOISE
vs
FREQUENCY
The THS4021 and THS4022 are ultralow voltage
noise, high-speed voltage feedback amplifiers that
are ideal for applications requiring low voltage noise,
including
communication
and
imaging.
The
single-amplifier THS4021 and the dual-amplifier
THS4022 offer very good ac performance with
350-MHz bandwidth, 470-V/μs slew rate, and 40-ns
settling time (0.1%). The THS4021 and THS4022 are
stable at gains of 10 (–9) or greater. These amplifiers
have a high drive capability of 100 mA and draw only
7.8-mA supply current per channel. With total
harmonic distortion (THD) of –68 dBc at f = 1 MHz,
the THS4021 and THS4022 are ideally suited for
applications requiring low distortion.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Theory of Operation
The THS402x is a high-speed operational amplifier configured in a voltage feedback architecture. It is built using
a 30-V, dielectrically isolated, complementary bipolar process with NPN and PNP transistors possessing fT of
several GHz. This results in an exceptionally high-performance amplifier that has a wide bandwidth, high slew
rate, fast settling time, and low distortion. A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 30.

Noise Calculations and Noise Figure
Noise can cause errors on very small signals. This is especially true when amplifying small signals, where
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is very important. The noise model for the THS402x is shown in Figure 31. This
model includes all of the noise sources as follows:
• en = Amplifier internal voltage noise (nV/√Hz)
• IN+ = Noninverting current noise (pA/√Hz)
• IN– = Inverting current noise (pA/√Hz)
• eRx = Thermal voltage noise associated with each resistor (eRx = 4 kTRx)

As the previous equations show, to keep noise at a minimum, small value resistors should be used. As the
closed-loop gain is increased (by reducing RG), the input noise is reduced considerably because of the parallel
resistance term. This leads to the general conclusion that the most dominant noise sources are the source
resistor (RS) and the internal amplifier noise voltage (en). Because noise is summed in a root-mean-squares
method, noise sources smaller than 25% of the largest noise source can be effectively ignored. This can greatly
simplify the formula and make noise calculations much easier to calculate.
For more information on noise analysis, see the Noise Analysis in Operational Amplifier Circuits application
report (SLVA043).
This brings up another noise measurement usually preferred in RF applications, the noise figure (NF). Noise
figure is a measure of noise degradation caused by the amplifier. The value of the source resistance must be
defined and is typically 50 Ω in RF applications.

Driving a Capacitive Load
Driving capacitive loads with high-performance amplifiers is not a problem as long as certain precautions are
taken. The first is to realize that the THS402x has been internally compensated to maximize its bandwidth and
slew-rate performance. When the amplifier is compensated in this manner, capacitive loading directly on the
output decreases the device phase margin, leading to high-frequency ringing or oscillations. Therefore, for
capacitive loads of greater than 10 pF, it is recommended that a resistor be placed in series with the output of
the amplifier, as shown in Figure 33. A minimum value of 20 Ω should work well for most applications. For
example, in 75-Ω transmission systems, setting the series resistor value to 75 Ω both isolates any capacitance
loading and provides the proper line impedance matching at the source end.

Offset Nulling
The THS402x has very low input offset voltage for a high-speed amplifier. However, if additional correction is
required, an offset nulling function has been provided on the THS4021. The input offset can be adjusted by
placing a potentiometer between terminals 1 and 8 of the device and tying the wiper to the negative supply. This
is shown in Figure 34.

Circuit Layout Considerations
To achieve the levels of high-frequency performance of the THS402x, follow proper printed-circuit board
high-frequency design techniques. A general set of guidelines is given as follows. In addition, a THS402x
evaluation board is available to use as a guide for layout or for evaluating the device performance.
• Ground planes—It is highly recommended that a ground plane be used on the board to provide all
components with a low-inducance ground connection. However, in the areas of the amplifier inputs and
output, the ground plane can be removed to minimize the stray capacitance.
• Proper power-supply decoupling—Use a 6.8-μF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor
on each supply terminal. It may be possible to share the tantalum among several amplifiers depending on the
application, but a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor should always be used on the supply terminal of every amplifier.
In addition, the 0.1-μF capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the supply terminal. As this distance
increases, the inductance in the connecting trace makes the capacitor less effective. The designer should
strive for distances of less than 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) between the device power terminals and the ceramic
capacitors.
• Sockets—Sockets are not recommended for high-speed operational amplifiers. The additional lead
inductance in the socket pins often produces stability problems. Surface-mount packages soldered directly to
the PCB is the best implementation.
• Short trace runs/compact part placements—Optimum high-frequency performance is achieved when stray
series inductance has been minimized. To realize this, the circuit layout should be made as compact as
possible, thereby minimizing the length of all trace runs. Particular attention should be paid to the inverting
input of the amplifier. Its length should be kept as short as possible. This helps to minimize stray capacitance
at the input of the amplifier.
• Surface-mount passive components—Using surface-mount passive components is recommended for
high-frequency amplifier circuits for several reasons. First, because of the extremely low lead inductance of
surface-mount components, the problem with stray series inductance is greatly reduced. Second, the small
size of surface-mount components naturally leads to a more compact layout, thereby minimizing both stray
inductance and capacitance. If leaded components are used, it is recommended that the lead lengths be kept
as short as possible.

SLOS265C – SEPTEMBER 1999 – REVISED JULY 2007
General Thermal Pad Design Considerations
The THS402x is available packaged in a thermally-enhanced DGN package, which is a member of the
PowerPAD family of packages. This package is constructed using a downset leadframe upon which the die is
mounted [see Figure 37(a) and Figure 37(b)]. This arrangement results in the lead frame being exposed as a
thermal pad on the underside of the package [see Figure 37(c)]. Because this thermal pad has direct thermal
contact with the die, excellent thermal performance can be achieved by providing a good thermal path away from
the thermal pad.
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.
The PowerPAD package represents a design breakthrough, combining the small area and ease of the surface
mount assembly method to eliminate the previously difficult mechanical methods of heatsinking.

NOTE: The thermal pad is electrically isolated from all terminals in the package.
Figure 37. Views of Thermally Enhanced DGN Package
Although there are many ways to heatsink this device properly, the following steps illustrate the recommended
approach.
Thermal pad area = 68 mils ´ 70 mils (1.73 mm ´1.78 mm) with 5 vias.
Via diameter = 13 mils (0.33 mm).
M0032-02
Figure 38. Thermal Pad PCB Etch and Via Pattern
1. Prepare the PCB with a top side etch pattern as shown in Figure 38. 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 (0.33 mm) in diameter. Keep
them small so that solder wicking through the holes is not a problem during reflow.
3. Additional vias may be placed anywhere along the thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area. These vias
help dissipate the heat generated by the THS402xDGN IC. These additional vias may be larger than the
13-mil (0.33-mm) diameter vias directly under the thermal pad. They can be larger because they are not in
the thermal pad area to be soldered, so wicking is not a problem.
4. Connect all holes to the internal ground plane.
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 THS402xDGN package should connect to the internal ground plane with a complete
connection around the entire circumference of the plated-through hole.
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.

7. Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area and all of the IC terminals.
8. With these preparatory steps in place, the THS402xDGN IC is simply placed in position and run through the
solder reflow operation as any standard surface-mount component. This results in a part that is properly
installed.
The actual thermal performance achieved with the THS402xDGN in its PowerPAD package depends on the
application. In the example above, if the size of the internal ground plane is approximately 3 inches × 3 inches
(7.62 cm × 7.62 cm), then the expected thermal coefficient, θJA, is about 58.4°C/W. For comparison, the
non-PowerPAD version of the THS402x IC (SOIC) is shown. For a given θJA, the maximum power dissipation is

SLOS265C – SEPTEMBER 1999 – REVISED JULY 2007
The next consideration is the package constraints. The two sources of heat within an amplifier are quiescent
power and output power. The designer should never forget about the quiescent heat generated within the device,
especially with multiamplifier devices. Because these devices have linear output stages (Class A-B), most of the
heat dissipation is at low output voltages with high output currents. Figure 40 through Figure 43 show this effect,
along with the quiescent heat, with an ambient air temperature of 50°C. Obviously, as the ambient temperature
increases, the limit lines shown drop accordingly. The area under each respective limit line is considered the safe
operating area. Any condition above this line exceeds the amplifier limits and failure may result. When using VCC
= ±5 V, there is generally not a heat problem, even with SOIC packages. But, when using VCC = ±15 V, the SOIC
package is severely limited in the amount of heat it can dissipate. The other key factor when looking at these
graphs is how the devices are mounted on the PCB. The PowerPAD devices are extremely useful for heat
dissipation. But the device should always be soldered to a copper plane to use fully the heat dissipation
properties of the thermal pad. The SOIC package, on the other hand, is highly dependent on how it is mounted
on the PCB. As more trace and copper area is placed around the device, θJA decreases and the heat dissipation
capability increases. The currents and voltages shown in these graphs are for the total package. For the
dual-amplifier package (THS4022), the sum of the RMS output currents and voltages should be used to choose
the proper package. The graphs shown assume that both amplifier outputs are identical.
