DESCRIPTION
The THS4302 device is a wideband, fixed-gain
amplifier that offers high bandwidth, high slew rate,
low noise, and low distortion. This combination of
specifications enables analog designers to transcend
current performance limitations and process analog
signals at much higher speeds than previously
possible with closed-loop, complementary amplifier
designs. This device is offered in a 16-pin leadless
package and incorporates a power-down mode for
quiescent power savings.

The absolute maximum temperature under any condition is limited by the constraints of the silicon process. 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 maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is limited by package constraints. Operation above this temperature may
result in reduced reliability and/or lifetime of the device.

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.
Thermal management of the final PCB should strive to keep the junction temperature at or below 125°C for best performance and long
term reliability.
The THS4302 device may incorporate a PowerPAD™ on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heatsink 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 can permanently damage the device. See TI technical brief SLMA002 and SLMA004 for more information about utilizing the
PowerPAD thermally enhanced package.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
High-Speed Operational amplifiers
The THS4302 fixed-gain operational amplifier set new
performance levels, combining low distortion, high
slew rates, low noise, and a gain bandwidth in excess
of 2 GHz. To achieve the full performance of the
amplifier, careful attention must be paid to
printed-circuit board layout and component selection.
In addition, the devices provide a power-down mode
with the ability to save power when the amplifier is
inactive.

in addition to the 50-Ω load impedance of the test
equipment, provides a 100-Ω load. The total 100-Ω
load at the output, combined with the 250-Ω total
feedback network load, presents the THS4302 with
an effective output load of 71 Ω for the circuit of
Figure 44.

SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
The THS4302 is a fixed-gain voltage feedback
operational amplifier, with power-down capability,
designed to operate from a single 3-V to 5-V power
supply.
The THS4302 is designed to operate from a single
3-V to 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. The
circuits shown in Figure 45 demonstrate methods to
configure an amplifier in a manner conducive for
single supply operation.
Figure 44 is the noninverting gain configuration used
to demonstrate the typical performance curves. Most
of the curves were characterized using signal sources
with 50-Ω source impedance, and with measurement
equipment presenting a 50-Ω load impedance. In
Figure 44, the 49.9-Ω shunt resistor at the VIN
terminal matches the source impedance of the test

The THS4302 amplifier can be used to drive highperformance analog-to-digital converters. Two
example circuits are presented below.
The first circuit uses a wideband transformer to
convert a single-ended input signal into a differential
signal. The amplified signal from the output of the
THS4302 is fed through a low-pass filter, via an
isolation resistor and an ac-coupling capacitor, to the
transformer.
For applications without signal content at dc, this
method of driving ADCs is useful. Where dc
information content is required, the THS4500 family
of fully differential amplifiers may be applicable.

* = Low Impedance

Saving Power With Power-Down Functionality
The power-down pin of the amplifier defaults to the
positive supply voltage in the absence of an applied
voltage, 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.
Behavior in between these threshold voltages is not
specified.
Note that this power-down functionality is just that;
the amplifier consumes less power in power-down
mode. The 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, but the output impedance of the
device itself varies depending on the voltage applied
to the outputs.

The THS4302 features a power-down pin (PD) which
lowers the quiescent current from 37 mA down to

The second circuit depicts single-ended ADC drive.
While not recommended for optimum performance
using converters with differential inputs, satisfactory
performance can sometimes be achieved with singleended input drive. An example circuit is shown here
for reference.
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 Typical Characteristics show the recommended
isolation resistor vs capacitive load and the resulting
frequency response at the load. Parasitic capacitive
loads greater than 2 pF can begin to degrade the
performance of the THS4302. Long PC board traces,
unmatched cables, and connections to multiple
devices can easily cause this value to be exceeded.
Always consider this effect carefully, and add the
recommended series resistor as close as possible to
the THS4302 output pin (see Board Layout
Guidelines).
The criterion for setting this R(ISO) resistor is a
maximum bandwidth, flat frequency response at the
load.

Driving Capacitive Loads
One of the most demanding, and yet very 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.
High-speed amplifiers like the THS4302 can be
susceptible to decreased stability and closed-loop
response peaking when a capacitive load is placed
directly on the output pin. When the amplifier's
open-loop output resistance is considered, this
capacitive load introduces an additional pole in the
signal path that can decrease the phase margin.
When the primary considerations are frequency
response flatness, pulse response fidelity, or
distortion, the simplest and most effective solution is
to isolate the capacitive load from the feedback loop
by
inserting a series isolation resistor between the
amplifier output and the capacitive load.

Figure 48. Driving Capacitive Loads
Power Supply Decoupling Techniques and
Recommendations
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.
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. Inductance in series
with the bypass capacitors will degrade
performance. Note that a narrow lead or trace
has about 0.8 nH of inductance for every
millimeter of length. Each printed-circuit board
(PCB) via also has between 0.3 and 0.8 nH
depending on length and diameter. For these
reasons, it is recommended to use a power
supply trace about the width of the package for
each power supply lead to the capacitors, and 3
or more vias to connect the capacitors to the
ground plane.

when they are not properly terminated to the
ground plane over the area and along the
perimeter of the power plane by high frequency
capacitors. Doing so ensures that there are no
power plane resonances in the needed frequency
range. Values used are in the range of 2 pF - 50
pF, depending on the frequencies to be
suppressed, with numerous vias for each. Using

is
recommended. An approximate expression for
the resonant frequencies associated with a length
of one of the power plane dimensions is given in
the following equation. Note that a power plane of
arbitrary shape can have a number of resonant
frequencies. A power plane without distributed
capacitors and with active parts near the center
of the plane usually has n even (≥ 2) due to the
half wave resonant nature of the plane.

For guidance on capacitor spacing over the area
of the ground plane, specify the lowest resonant
frequency to be tolerated, then solve using the
equation above, with n = 2. Use this length for
the capacitor spacing. It is recommended that a
power plane, if used, be either small enough, or
decoupled as described, so that there are no
resonances in the frequency range of interest. An
alternative is to use a ferrite bead outside the
op-amp, high-frequency bypass capacitors to
decouple the amplifier, and mid- and
high-frequency bypass capacitors, from the
power plane. When a trace is used to deliver
power, its approximate self-resonance is given by
the equation above, substituting the trace length
for power plane dimension.
4. Bypass capacitors, because they have a
self-inductance, resonate with each other. To
achieve optimum transfer characteristics through
2 GHz, it is recommended that the bypass
arrangement employed in the prototype board be
used. The 30.1-Ω resistor in series with the
0.1-μF capacitor reduces the Q of the resonance
of the lumped parallel elements including the
0.1-μF and 47-pF capacitors, and the power
supply input of the amplifier. The ferrite bead
isolates the low-frequency 22-μF capacitor and
power plane from the remainder of the bypass
network.
5. By removing the 30.1-Ω resistor and ferrite bead,
the frequency response characteristic above 400
MHz may be modified. However, bandwidth,
distortion, and transient response remain optimal.
6. Recommended values for power supply
decoupling include a bulk decoupling capacitor
(22 μF), a ferrite bead with a high self-resonant
frequency, a mid-range decoupling capacitor (0.1
μF) in series with a 30.1-Ω resistor, and a
high-frequency decoupling capacitor (47 pF).
BOARD LAYOUT
Printed-Circuit Board Layout Techniques for
Optimal Performance
Achieving optimum performance with a high
frequency amplifier like the THS4302 requires careful
attention to board layout parasitics and external
component types.
Recommendations that optimize performance include:
1. Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac
ground for all of the signal I/O pins. However,
if using a transmission line at the I/O, then place
the matching resistor as close to the part as
possible. Except for when transmission lines are
used, parasitic capacitance on the output and the
noninverting input pins can react with the load
and source impedances 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 planes and
power planes (if used) should be unbroken
elsewhere on the board, and terminated as
described in the Power Supply Decoupling
section.
2. 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. Note that each millimeter of a line,
that is narrow relative to its length, has ~ 0.8 nH
of inductance. The power supply connections
should always be decoupled with the
recommended capacitors. If not properly
decoupled, distortion performance is degraded.
Larger (6.8-μF to 22-μF) decoupling capacitors,
effective at lower frequency, should also be used
on the main supply lines, preferably decoupled
from the amplifier and mid- and high-frequency
capacitors by a ferrite bead. See the Power
Supply Decoupling Techniques section. The
larger caps may be placed somewhat farther from
the device and may be shared among several
devices in the same area of the PC board. A very
low inductance path should be used to connect
the inverting pin of the amplifier to ground. A
minimum of 5 vias as close to the part as

possible is recommended.
3. Careful selection and placement of external
components preserves the high frequency
performance of the THS4302. Resistors should
be a low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors
work best and allow a tighter overall layout.
Axially-leaded parts do not provide good high
frequency performance, because they have ~0.8
nH of inductance for every mm of current path
length. Again, keep PC board trace length as
short as possible. Never use wirewound 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 terminating resistors, if any, as close as
possible to the noninverting and output pins.
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.
4. Connections to other wideband devices on
the board may 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. Estimate
the total capacitive load and set RISO from the
plot of recommended RISO vs Capacitive Load.
Low parasitic capacitive loads (
