3 Description
Fabricated using the BiCom-II process, the THS4281
is a low-power, rail-to-rail input and output, voltagefeedback operational amplifier designed to operate
over a wide power-supply range of 2.7-V to 15-V
single supply, and ±1.35-V to ±7.5-V dual supply.
Consuming only 750 μA with a unity gain bandwidth
of 90 MHz and a high 35-V/μs slew rate, the
THS4281 allows portable or other power-sensitive
applications to realize high performance with minimal
power. To ensure long battery life in portable
applications, the quiescent current is trimmed to be
less than 900 μA at +25°C, and 1 mA from –40°C to
+85°C.
Very Low Quiescent Current: 750 μA (at 5 V)
Rail-to-Rail Input and Output:
– Common-Mode Input Voltage Extends
400 mV Beyond the Rails
– Output Swings Within 150 mV From the Rails
Wide –3-dB Bandwidth at 5 V:
– 90 MHz at Gain = +1, 40 MHz at Gain = +2
High Slew Rate: 35 V/μs
Fast Settling Time (2-V Step):
– 78 ns to 0.1%
– 150 ns to 0.01%
Low Distortion at Gain = +2, VO = 2-VPP, 5 V:
– –91 dBc at 100 kHz, –67 dBc at 1 MHz
Input Offset Voltage: 2.5 mV (Max at +25°C)
Output Current > 30 mA (10-Ω Load, 5 V)
Low Voltage Noise of 12.5 nV/√Hz
Supply Voltages: +2.7 V, 3 V, +5 V, ±5 V, +15 V
Packages: SOT23, MSOP, and SOIC
The THS4281 is a true single-supply amplifier with a
specified common-mode input range of 400 mV
beyond the rails. This allows for high-side current
sensing applications without phase reversal
concerns. Its output swings to within 40 mV from the
rails with 10-kΩ loads, and 150 mV from the rails with
1-kΩ loads.
The THS4281 has a good 0.1% settling time of 78 ns,
and 0.01% settling time of 150 ns. The low THD of
–87 dBc at 100 kHz, coupled with a maximum offset
voltage of less than 2.5 mV, makes the THS4281 a
good match for high-resolution ADCs sampling less
than 2 MSPS.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
7.1.1 High-Speed Operational Amplifiers
The THS4281 is a unity gain stable, rail-to-rail input and output, voltage-feedback operational amplifier designed
to operate from a single 2.7-V to 16.5-V power supply.
7.2 Feature Description
7.2.1 Wideband, Noninverting Operation
Figure 68 shows the noninverting gain configuration of 2 V/V used to demonstrate the typical performance
curves.
Voltage feedback amplifiers can use a wide range of resistors values to set their gain with minimal impact on
frequency response. Larger-valued resistors decrease loading of the feedback network on the output of the
amplifier, but may cause peaking and instability. For a gain of +2, feedback resistor values between 1 kΩ and 4
kΩ are recommended for most applications. However, as the gain increases, the use of even higher feedback
resistors can be used to conserve power. This is due to the inherent nature of amplifiers becoming more stable
as the gain increases, at the expense of bandwidth. Figure 73 and Figure 74 show the THS4281 using feedback
resistors of 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ. Be cautioned that using such high values with high-speed amplifiers is not
typically recommended, but under certain conditions, such as high gain and good high-speed printed circuit
board (PCB) layout practices, such resistances can be used.

Figure 69. Wideband, Inverting Gain Configuration
In the inverting configuration, some key design considerations must be noted. One is that the gain resistor (Rg)
becomes part of the signal channel input impedance. If the input impedance matching is desired (which is
beneficial whenever the signal is coupled through a cable, twisted pair, long PCB trace, or other transmission line
conductors), Rg may be set equal to the required termination value and Rf adjusted to give the desired gain.
However, care must be taken when dealing with low inverting gains, as the resulting feedback resistor value can
present a significant load to the amplifier output. For example, an inverting gain of 2, setting Rg to 49.9 Ω for
input matching, eliminates the need for RM but requires a 100-Ω feedback resistor. The 100-Ω feedback resistor,
in parallel with the external load, causes excessive loading on the amplifier output. To eliminate this excessive
loading, it is preferable to increase both Rg and Rf values, as shown in Figure 69, and then achieve the input
matching impedance with a third resistor (RM) to ground. The total input impedance is the parallel combination of
Rg and RM.
Another consideration in inverting amplifier design is setting the bias current cancellation resistor (RT) on the
noninverting input. If the resistance is set equal to the total dc resistance presented to the device at the inverting
terminal, the output dc error (due to the input bias currents) is reduced to the input offset current multiplied by RT.
In Figure 69, the dc source impedance presented at the inverting terminal is 2.49 kΩ || (2.49 kΩ + 25.3 Ω) ≈ 1.24
kΩ. To reduce the additional high-frequency noise introduced by the resistor at the noninverting input, RT is
bypassed with a 0.1-μF capacitor to ground (CT).

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Single-Supply Operation
The THS4281 is designed to operate from a single 2.7-V to 16.5-V power supply. When operating from a single
power supply, care must be taken to ensure the input signal and amplifier are biased appropriately to allow for
the maximum output voltage swing and not violate VICR. The circuits shown in Figure 70 shows inverting and
noninverting amplifiers configured for single-supply operation.

8.1.2 Driving Capacitive Loads
One of the most demanding, and yet common, load conditions for an op amp is capacitive loading. Often, the
capacitive load is the input of an A/D converter, including additional external capacitance, which may be
recommended to improve A/D linearity. A high-speed, high open-loop gain amplifier like the THS4281 can be
susceptible to instability and peaking when a capacitive load is placed directly on the output. When the amplifier
open-loop output resistance is considered, this capacitive load introduces an additional pole in the feedback path
that decreases the phase margin. When the primary considerations are frequency response flatness, pulse
response fidelity, or distortion, a simple and effective solution is to isolate the capacitive load from the feedback
loop by inserting a small series isolation resistor (for example, R(ISO) = 100 Ω for CLOAD = 10 pF to R(ISO) = 10 Ω
for CLOAD = 1000 pF) between the amplifier output and the capacitive load.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Active Filtering With the THS4281
High-performance active filtering with the THS4281 is achievable due to the amplifier's good slew rate, wide
bandwidth, and voltage-feedback architecture. Several options are available for high-pass, low-pass, bandpass,
and bandstop filters of varying orders. Filters can be quite complex and time consuming to design. Several books
and application reports are available to help design active filters. But, to help simplify the process and minimize
the chance of miscalculations, Texas Instruments has developed a filter design program called FilterPro™.
FilterPro is available for download at no cost from TI's web site (www.ti.com).
The two most common low-pass filter circuits used are the Sallen-Key filter and the Multiple Feedback (MFB) –
aka Rauch filter. FilterPro was used to determine a 2-pole Butterworth response filter with a corner (–3-dB)
frequency of 100 kHz, which is shown in Figure 71 and Figure 72. One of the advantages of the MFB filter, a
much better high-frequency rejection, is clearly shown in the response shown in Figure 75. This is due to the
inherent R-C filter to ground being the first elements in the design of the MFB filter. The Sallen-Key design also
has an R-C filter, but the capacitor connects directly to the output. At very high frequencies, where the amplifier's
access loop gain is decreasing, the ability of the amplifier to reject high frequencies is severely reduced and
allows the high-frequency signals to pass through the system. One other advantage of the MFB filter is the
reduced sensitivity in component variation. This is important when using real-world components where capacitors
can easily have ±10% variations.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Power-Supply Decoupling Techniques and Recommendations
Power-supply decoupling is a critical aspect of any high-performance amplifier design. Careful decoupling
provides higher quality ac performance. The following guidelines ensure the highest level of performance.
1. Place decoupling capacitors as close to the power-supply inputs as possible, with the goal of minimizing the
inductance.
2. Placement priority should put the smallest valued capacitors closest to the device.
3. Use of solid power and ground planes is recommended to reduce the inductance along power-supply return
current paths (with the exception of the areas underneath the input and output pins as noted below).
4. A bulk decoupling capacitor is recommended (6.8 μF to 22 μF) within 1 inch, and a ceramic (0.1 μF) within
0.1 inch of the power input pins.
NOTE
The bulk capacitor may be shared by other operational amplifiers.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Achieving optimum performance with a high-frequency amplifier like the THS4281 requires careful attention to
board layout parasitics and external component types. See the EVM layout figures (Figure 76 to Figure 79) in the
Design Tools section.
Recommendations that optimize performance include:
1. Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac ground for all of the signal I/O pins. Parasitic capacitance on
the output and inverting input pins can cause instability and on the noninverting input, it can react with the
source impedance to cause unintentional band limiting. To reduce unwanted capacitance, a window around
the signal I/O pins should be opened in all of the ground and power planes around those pins. Otherwise,
ground and power planes should be unbroken elsewhere on the board.
2. Minimize the distance (< 0.1 inch) from the power-supply pins to high-frequency, 0.1-μF decoupling
capacitors. Avoid narrow power and ground traces to minimize inductance. The power-supply connections
should always be decoupled as described above.
3. Careful selection and placement of external components preserves the high-frequency performance
of the THS4281. Resistors should be a low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors work best and allow a
tighter overall layout. Metal-film, axial-lead resistors can also provide good high-frequency performance.
Again, keep the leads and PCB trace length as short as possible. Never use wire-wound type resistors in a
high-frequency application. Because the output pin and inverting input pin are the most sensitive to parasitic
capacitance, always position the feedback and series output resistor, if any, as close as possible to the
output pin. Other network components, such as noninverting input termination resistors, should also be
placed close to the package. Excessively high resistor values can create significant phase lag that can
degrade performance. Keep resistor values as low as possible, consistent with load-driving considerations. It
is suggested that a good starting point for design is to set the Rf to 2 kΩ for low-gain, noninverting
applications. Doing this automatically keeps the resistor noise terms reasonable and minimizes the effect of
parasitic capacitance.
4. Connections to other wideband devices on the board should be made with short direct traces or
through onboard transmission lines. For short connections, consider the trace and the input to the next
device as a lumped capacitive load. Relatively wide traces (50 mils to 100 mils) should be used, preferably
with ground and power planes opened up around them. Low parasitic capacitive loads (< 4 pF) may not need
an R(ISO), because the THS4281 is nominally compensated to operate at unity gain (+1 V/V) with a 2-pF
capacitive load. Higher capacitive loads without an R(ISO) are allowed as the signal gain increases. 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). A matching series resistor into the trace from
the output of the THS4281 is used as well as a terminating shunt resistor at the input of the destination

Layout Guidelines (continued)
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, and use a
series resistor (R(ISO) = 10 Ω to 100 Ω, as noted Driving Capacitive Loads) to isolate the capacitive load. If
the input impedance of the destination device is low, there is signal attenuation due to the voltage divider
formed by R(ISO) into the terminating impedance. A 50-Ω environment is normally not necessary onboard,
and in fact a higher impedance environment improves distortion as shown in the distortion versus load plots.
5. Socketing a high-speed part like the THS4281 is not recommended. The additional lead length and pinto-pin capacitance introduced by the socket can create a troublesome parasitic network which can make it
almost impossible to achieve a smooth, stable frequency response. Best results are obtained by soldering
the THS4281 onto the board.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
The THS4281 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 long-term dependability, the
junction temperature should not exceed +125°C.
The thermal characteristics of the device are dictated by the package and the PCB. Maximum power dissipation
for a given package can be calculated using the following formula.
PDmax = (Tmax - TA) / θJA
where
•
•
•
•
•
•
PDmax is the maximum power dissipation in the amplifier (W).
Tmax is the absolute maximum junciton temperature (ºC).
TA is the ambient temperature (ºC).
θJA = θJC + θCA
θJC is the thermal coefficient from the silicon junctions to the case (ºC/W).
θJA is the thermal coefficient from the case to ambient air (ºC/W).

Figure 80. Maximum Power Dissipation vs Ambient Temperature
When determining whether or not the device satisfies the maximum power dissipation requirement, it is important
to consider not only quiescent power dissipation, but also dynamic power dissipation. Often maximum power
dissipation is difficult to quantify because the signal pattern is inconsistent, but an estimate of the RMS value can
provide a reasonable analysis.
