The THS4222 family is a set of rail-to-rail output single, and dual low-voltage, high-output swing, low-distortion high-speed
amplifiers ideal for driving data converters, video switching or low distortion applications.This family of voltage feedback
amplifiers can operate from a single 15-V power supply down to a single 3-V power supply while consuming only 14 mA of
quiescent current per channel. In addition, the family offers excellent ac performance with 230-MHz bandwidth, 975-V/µs
slew rate and harmonic distortion (THD) at –90 dBc at 5 MHz.

ESD ratings:
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.

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.
(3)
The THS422x 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 could permanently damage the device. See TI
technical brief SLMA002 and SLMA004 for more information
about utilizing the PowerPAD thermally enhanced package.
(1)
The absolute maximum ratings 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.
(2) 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.

Figure 29 is the noninverting gain configuration of 2 V/V
used to demonstrate the typical performance curves.
Voltage feedback amplifiers, unlike current feedback
designs, can use a wide range of resistors values to set
their gain with minimal impact on their stability and
frequency response. Larger-valued resistors decrease the
loading effect of the feedback network on the output of the
amplifier, but this enhancement comes at the expense of
additional noise and potentially lower bandwidth.
Feedback resistor values between 1 kΩ and 2 kΩ are
recommended for most situations.

WIDEBAND, INVERTING OPERATION
Since the THS4222 family are general-purpose, wideband
voltage-feedback amplifiers, several familiar operational
amplifier applications circuits are available to the designer.
Figure 30 shows a typical inverting configuration where
the input and output impedances and noise gain from
Figure 29 are retained in an inverting circuit configuration.
Inverting operation is one of the more common
requirements and offers several performance benefits.
The inverting configuration shows improved slew rates
and distortion due to the pseudo-static voltage maintained
on the inverting input.

WIDEBAND, NONINVERTING OPERATION
The THS4222 is a family of unity gain stable rail-to-rail
output voltage feedback operational amplifiers, with and
without power-down capability, designed to operate from
a single 3-V to 15-V power supply.

SLOS399G − AUGUST 2002 − REVISED JANUARY 2004
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 PC board 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 resultant feedback resistor value
can present a significant load to the amplifier output. For
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. This has an advantage of the noise gain
becoming equal to 2 for a 50-Ω source impedance—the
same as the noninverting circuit in Figure 29. However, the
amplifier output now sees the 100-Ω feedback resistor in
parallel with the external load. To eliminate this excessive
loading, it is preferable to increase both Rg and Rf, values,
as shown in Figure 30, and then achieve the input
matching impedance with a third resistor (RM) to ground.
The total input impedance becomes the parallel
combination of Rg and RM.
The last major consideration to discuss in inverting
amplifier design is setting the bias current cancellation
resistor on the noninverting input. If the resistance is set
equal to the total dc resistance looking out of the inverting
terminal, the output dc error, due to the input bias currents,
is reduced to (input offset current) multiplied by Rf in
Figure 30, the dc source impedance looking out of the
inverting terminal is 1.3 kΩ || (1.3 kΩ + 25.6 Ω) = 649 Ω.
To reduce the additional high-frequency noise introduced
by the resistor at the noninverting input, and power-supply
feedback, RT is bypassed with a capacitor to ground.
SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
The THS4222 is designed to operate from a single 3-V to
15-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 31 demonstrate methods to configure an amplifier
in a manner conducive for single supply operation.

Saving Power With Power-Down Functionality
and Setting Threshold Levels With the Reference
Pin
The THS4225 and THS4226 feature a power-down pin
(PD) which lowers the quiescent current from 14 mA/ch
down to 700 µA/ch, ideal for reducing system power.
The power-down pin of the amplifiers 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 highimpedance 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 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.

Power-Down Reference Pin Operation
In addition to the power-down pin, the THS4225 features
a reference pin (REF) which allows the user to control the
enable or disable power-down voltage levels applied to the
PD pin. Operation of the reference pin as it relates to the
power-down pin is described below.
In most split-supply applications, the reference pin is
connected to ground. In some cases, the user may want
to connect it to the negative or positive supply rail. In either
case, the user needs to be aware of the voltage level
thresholds that apply to the power-down pin. The tables
below show examples and illustrate the relationship
between the reference voltage and the power-down
thresholds.

to Vs/2 (mid rail).
For 3.3-V operation, the reference pin must be connected
to the most negative rail (for single supply this is GND).

connected to the positive rail, therefore it can be left
floating to maintain these threshold levels.

to the positive rail or left floating.
The recommended mode of operation is to tie the
reference pin to midrail, thus setting the threshold levels to

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.
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.
4.
Recommended values for power supply decoupling
include a bulk decoupling capacitor (6.8 to 22 µF), a
mid-range decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) and a high
frequency decoupling capacitor (1000 pF) for each
supply. A 100 pF capacitor can be used across the
supplies as well for extremely high frequency return
currents, but often is not required.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Driving an Analog-to-Digital Converter With the
THS4222
The THS4222 can be used to drive high-performance
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
differential signal is then amplified and filtered by two
THS4222 amplifiers. This circuit provides low
intermodulation distortion, suppressed even-order
distortion, 14 dB of voltage gain, a 50-Ω input impedance,
and a single-pole filter at 25 MHz. For applications without
signal content at dc, this method of driving ADCs can be
very useful. Where dc information content is required, the
THS4500 family of fully differential amplifiers may be
applicable.
performance can sometimes be achieved with
single-ended input drive. An example circuit is shown here
for reference.

High-frequency active filtering with the THS4222 is

bandwidth, and voltage feedback architecture. Several
options are available for high-pass, low-pass, bandpass,
and bandstop filters of varying orders. A simple two-pole
low pass filter is presented here as an example, with two
poles at 25 MHz.

NOISE ANALYSIS
High slew rates, stable unity gain, voltage-feedback
operational amplifiers usually achieve their slew rate at the
expense of a higher input noise voltage. The input-referred
voltage noise, and the two input-referred current noise
terms, combine to give low output noise under a wide
variety of operating conditions. Figure 35 shows the
amplifier noise analysis model with all the noise terms
included. In this model, all noise terms are taken to be
noise voltage or current density terms in either nV/√Hz or
pA/√Hz.

BOARD LAYOUT
Achieving optimum performance with a high frequency
amplifier like the THS4222 requires careful attention to
board layout parasitics and external component types.
Recommendations that optimize performance include:
EO
_
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. This does not eliminate the
pole from the loop response, but rather shifts it and adds
a zero at a higher frequency. The additional zero acts to
cancel the phase lag from the capacitive load pole, thus
increasing the phase margin and improving stability.
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: 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 (< 0.25”) 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
(1)
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 (2.2-µF to 6.8-µF) decoupling capacitors,
effective at lower frequency, should also be used on
the main supply pins. These may be placed somewhat
(2)
farther from the device and may be shared among
several devices in the same area of the PC board.
3.
Careful selection and placement of external
components will preserve the high frequency
performance of the THS4222. 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 wire wound type
resistors in a high frequency application. Since 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. Where
double-side component mounting is allowed, place

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. A high-speed, high
open-loop gain amplifier like the THS4222 can be very
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
18

SLOS399G − AUGUST 2002 − REVISED JANUARY 2004
the feedback resistor directly under the package on
the other side of the board between the output and
inverting input 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. For
resistor values > 2.0 kΩ, 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.
It has been suggested here that a good starting point
for design would be set the Rf be set to 1.3 kΩ for
low-gain, noninverting applications. Doing this
automatically keeps the resistor noise terms low, and
minimize the effect of their parasitic capacitance.
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
(<4 pF) may not need an R(ISO), since the THS4222
is nominally compensated to operate with a 2-pF
parasitic load. Higher parasitic capacitive loads
without an R(ISO) are allowed as the 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). 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.
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 THS4222 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 and set
the series resistor value as shown in the plot of R(ISO)
vs Capacitive Load. This setting does not preserve
signal integrity or 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.
5.
Socketing a high speed part like the THS4222 is
not recommended. The additional lead length and
pin-to-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 THS4222 onto the board.
PowerPAD DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The THS4222 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 36(a) and Figure 36(b)]. This
arrangement results in the lead frame being exposed as a
thermal pad on the underside of the package [see
Figure 36(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 breakthrough in
combining the small area and ease of assembly of surface
mount with the heretofore awkward mechanical methods
of heatsinking.

Pattern
PowerPAD PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
1.
Prepare the PCB with a top side etch pattern as shown
in Figure 37. 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.
3.
Additional vias may be placed anywhere along the
thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area. They
help dissipate the heat generated by the THS4222
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.
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
resistance 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 THS4222
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.
6.
20
Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area
and all of the IC terminals.
8.
With these preparatory steps in place, the 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.

where:

TA = Free-ambient temperature (°C)
θJA = θJC + θCA
θJC = Thermal coefficient from junction to the case
θCA = Thermal coefficient from the case to ambient air
(°C/W).
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 multi-amplifier devices. Because these devices
have linear output stages (Class AB), most of the heat
dissipation is at low output voltages with high output
currents.
The other key factor when dealing with power dissipation
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 fully use the heat dissipation properties
of the PowerPAD. 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. For a single package, the sum of the RMS
output currents and voltages should be used to choose the
proper package.
THERMAL ANALYSIS
The THS4222 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.
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.

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

is inconsistent, but an estimate of the RMS power
dissipation can provide visibility into a possible problem.

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 THS4222 family is available
through the Texas Instruments web site (www.ti.com). The
PIC is also available for design assistance and detailed
product information. These models do a good job of
predicting small-signal ac and transient performance
under a wide variety of operating conditions. They are not
intended to model the distortion characteristics of the
amplifier, nor do they attempt to distinguish between the
package types in their small-signal ac performance.
Detailed information about what is and is not modeled is
contained in the model file itself.

This PowerPAD™ package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be attached directly to an
external heatsink. When the thermal pad is soldered directly to the printed circuit board (PCB), the PCB can be
used as a heatsink. In addition, through the use of thermal vias, the thermal pad can be attached directly to a
ground plane or special heatsink structure designed into the PCB. This design optimizes the heat transfer from
the integrated circuit (IC).
