This fully differential op amp features accurate output common-mode control that allows for dc-coupling when
driving analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). This control, coupled with an input common-mode range below the
negative rail as well as rail-to-rail output, allows for easy interfacing between single-ended, ground-referenced
signal sources. Additionally, the THS4524 is ideally suited for driving both successive-approximation register
(SAR) and delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADCs using only a single +2.5-V to +5-V and ground power supply.
The THS4524 fully differential op amp is characterized for operation over the full industrial temperature range
from –55°C to 125°C.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
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.

For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the IC Package Thermal Metrics application report, SPRA953.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

TEST CIRCUITS
Ω input termination.
Overview
The THS4524 is tested with the test circuits shown in
this section; all circuits are built using the available
THS4524 evaluation module (EVM). For simplicity,
power-supply decoupling is not shown; see the layout
in the Applications section for recommendations.
Depending on the test conditions, component values
change in accordance with Table 1 and Table 2, or
as otherwise noted. In some cases the signal
generators used are ac-coupled and in others they
dc-coupled 50-Ω sources. To balance the amplifier
when ac-coupled, a 0.22-μF capacitor and 49.9-Ω
resistor to ground are inserted across RIT on the
alternate input; when dc-coupled, only the 49.9-Ω
resistor to ground is added across RIT. A split power
supply is used to ease the interface to common test
equipment, but the amplifier can be operated in a
single-supply configuration as described in the
Applications section with no impact on performance.
Also, for most of the tests, except as noted, the
devices are tested with single-ended inputs and a
transformer on the output to convert the differential
output to single-ended because common lab test
equipment has single-ended inputs and outputs.
Similar or better performance can be expected with
differential inputs and outputs.
As a result of the voltage divider on the output formed
by the load component values, the amplifier output is
attenuated. The Atten column in Table 2 shows the
attenuation expected from the resistor divider. When
using a transformer at the output (as shown in
Figure 55), the signal sees slightly more loss because
of transformer and line loss; these numbers are
approximate.

Frequency Response
The circuit shown in Figure 54 is used to measure the
frequency response of the circuit.
An HP network analyzer is used as the signal source
and the measurement device. The output impedance
of the HP network analyzer is is dc-coupled and is
50 Ω. RIT and RG are chosen to impedance-match to
50 Ω and maintain the proper gain. To balance the
amplifier, a 49.9-Ω resistor to ground is inserted
across RIT on the alternate input.
The output is probed using a Tektronix highimpedance differential probe across the 953-Ω
resistor and referred to the amplifier output by adding
back the 0.42-dB because of the voltage divider on
the output.

Distortion
The circuit shown in Figure 55 is used to measure
harmonic and intermodulation distortion of the
amplifier.
An HP signal generator is used as the signal source
and the output is measured with a Rhode and
Schwarz spectrum analyzer. The output impedance
of the HP signal generator is ac-coupled and is 50 Ω.
RIT and RG are chosen to impedance match to 50 Ω
and maintain the proper gain. To balance the
amplifier, a 0.22-μF capacitor and 49.9-Ω resistor to
ground are inserted across RIT on the alternate input.
A low-pass filter is inserted in series with the input to
reduce harmonics generated at the signal source.
The level of the fundamental is measured and then a
high-pass filter is inserted at the output to reduce the
fundamental so it does not generate distortion in the
input of the spectrum analyzer.
Slew Rate, Transient Response, Settling
Time, Output Impedance, Overdrive, Output
Voltage, and Turn-On/Turn-Off Time
The circuit shown in Figure 56 is used to measure
slew rate, transient response, settling time, output
impedance, overdrive recovery, output voltage swing,
and ampliifer turn-on/turn-off time. Turn-on and turnoff time are measured with the same circuit modified
for 50-Ω input impedance on the PD input by
replacing the 0.22-μF capacitor with a 49.9-Ω
resistor. For output impedance, the signal is injected
at VOUT with VIN open; the drop across the 2x 49.9-Ω
resistors is then used to calculate the impedance
seen looking into the amplifier output.

Common-Mode and Power-Supply Rejection
VOCM Input
The circuit shown in Figure 57 is used to measure the
CMRR. The signal from the network analyzer is
applied common-mode to the input. Figure 58 is used
to measure the PSRR of VS+ and VS–. The power
supply under test is applied to the network analyzer
dc offset input. For both CMRR and PSRR, the output
is probed using a Tektronix high-impedance
differential probe across the 953-Ω resistor and
referred to the amplifier output by adding back the
0.42-dB as a result of the voltage divider on the
output. For these tests, the resistors are matched for
best results.
The circuit illustrated in Figure 59 is used to measure
the frequency response and input impedance of the
VOCM input. Frequency response is measured using a
Tektronix high-impedance differential probe, with
RCM = 0 Ω at the common point of VOUT+ and VOUT–,
formed at the summing junction of the two matched
499-Ω resistors, with respect to ground. The input
impedance is measured using a Tektronix highimpedance differential probe at the VOCM input with
RCM = 10 kΩ and the drop across the 10-kΩ resistor
is used to calculate the impedance seen looking into
the amplifier VOCM input.

The THS4524 is a fully-differential operational
amplifier that can be used to amplify differential input
signals to differential output signals. Figure 61 shows
a basic block diagram of the circuit (VOCM and PD
inputs not shown). The gain of the circuit is set by RF
divided by RG.
RF

The input common-mode voltage of a fully-differential
op amp is the voltage at the + and – input pins of the
device.
It is important to not violate the input common-mode
voltage range (VICR) of the op amp. Assuming the op
amp is in linear operation, the voltage across the
input pins is only a few millivolts at most. Therefore,
finding the voltage at one input pin determines the
input common-mode voltage of the op amp.
Treating the negative input as a summing node, the
voltage is given by Equation 1:
RF
Figure 61. Differential Input to Differential Output
Amplifier
Single-Ended Input to Differential Output
Amplifier
The THS4524 can also amplify and convert singleended input signals to differential output signals.
Figure 62 illustrates a basic block diagram of the
circuit (VOCM and PD inputs not shown). The gain of
the circuit is again set by RF divided by RG.
VOUT+ ´
RF
RG
+ VIN- ´
R G + RF

(1)
To determine the VICR of the op amp, the voltage at
the negative input is evaluated at the extremes of
VOUT+. As the gain of the op amp increases, the input
common-mode voltage becomes closer and closer to
the input common-mode voltage of the source.
Setting the Output Common-Mode Voltage
The output common-model voltage is set by the
voltage at the VOCM pin. The internal common-mode
control circuit maintains the output common-mode

Single-Supply Operation
Figure 63 represents the VOCM input. The internal
VOCM circuit has typically 23 MHz of –3 dB bandwidth,
which is required for best performance, but it is
intended to be a dc bias input pin. A 0.22-μF bypass
capacitor is recommended on this pin to reduce
noise. The external current required to overdrive the
internal resistor divider is given approximately by the
formula in Equation 2:
2VOCM - (VS+ - VS-)
IEXT =
50 kW
To facilitate testing with common lab equipment, the
THS4524EVM allows for split-supply operation; most
of the characterization data presented in this data
sheet is measured using split-supply power inputs.
The device can easily be used with a single-supply
power input without degrading performance.
Figure 64 shows a dc-coupled single-supply circuit
with single-ended inputs. This circuit can also be
applied to differential input sources.

The THS4524 provides excellent performance across
the specified power-supply range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V
with only minor variations. The input and output
voltage compliance ranges track with the power
supply in nearly a 1:1 correlation. Other changes can
be observed in slew rate, output current drive, openloop gain, bandwidth, and distortion. Table 3 shows
the typical variation to be expected in these key
performance parameters.
The input common-mode voltage range of the
THS4524 is designed to include the negative supply
voltage. in the circuit shown in Figure 64, the signal
source is referenced to ground. VOCM is set by an
external control source or, if left unconnected, the
internal circuit defaults to midsupply. Together with
the input impedance of the amplifier circuit, RIT
provides input termination, which is also referenced to
ground.
Note that RIT and optional matching components are
added to the alternate input to balance the
impedance at signal input.

Low-Power Applications and the Effects of
Resistor Values on Bandwidth
Frequency Response Variation due to
Package Options
For low-power operation, it may be necessary to
increase the gain setting resistors values to limit
current consumption and not load the source. Using
larger value resistors lowers the bandwidth of the
THS4524 as a result of the interactions between the
resistors, the device parasitic capacitance, and
printed circuit board (PCB) parasitic capacitance.
Figure 65 shows the small-signal frequency response
with 1-kΩ, 10-kΩ, and 100-kΩ resistors for RF, RG,
and RL (impedance is assumed to typically increase
for all three resistors in low-power applications).
Users can see variations in the small-signal (VOUT =
100 mVPP) frequency response between the available
package options for the THS452x family as a result of
parasitic elements associated with each package and
board layout changes. Figure 66 shows the variance
measured in the lab; this variance is to be expected
even when using a good layout.

Driving Capacitive Loads
FREQUENCY RESPONSE vs CLOAD
5
The THS4524 is designed for a nominal capacitive
load of 1 pF on each output to ground. When driving
capacitive loads greater than 1 pF, it is recommended
to use small resistors (RO) in series with the output,
placed as close to the device as possible. Without
RO, capacitance on the output interacts with the
output impedance of the amplifier and causes phase
shift in the loop gain of the amplifier that reduces the
phase margin. This reduction in phase margin results
in
frequency
response
peaking;
overshoot,
undershoot, and/or ringing when a step or squarewave signal is applied; and may lead to instability or
oscillation. Inserting RO isolates the phase shift from
the loop gain path and restores the phase margin, but
it also limits bandwidth. Figure 67 shows the
recommended values of RO versus capacitive loads
(CL), and Figure 68 shows an illustration of the
frequency response with various values.

THS4524 Measured on AP Analyzer
10-kHz OUTPUT SPECTRUM
THS4524 on AP Analyzer
Magnitude (dBv)
Note that the harmonic distortion performance is very
close to the same with and without the device
meaning the THS4524 performance is actually much
better than can be directly measured by this
meathod. The actual device performance can be
estimated by placing the device in a large noise gain
and using the reduction in loop gain correction. The
THS4524 is placed in a noise gain of 101 by adding a
10-Ω resistor directly across the input terminals of the
circuit shown in Figure 69. This test was performed
using the AP instrument as both the signal source
and the analyzer. The second-order harmonic
distortion at 1 kHz is estimated to be –122 dBc with
VO = 1VRMS; third-order harmonic distortion is
estimated to be –141 dBc. The third-order harmonic
distortion result matches exactly with design
simulations, but the second-order harmonic distortion
is about 10 dB worse. This result is not unexpected
because
second-order
harmonic
distortion
performance with a differential signal depends heavily
on cancellation as a result of the differential nature of
the signal, which depends on board layout, bypass
capacitors, external cabling, and so forth. Note that
the circuit of Figure 69 is also used to measure
crosstalk between channels.

Audio On/Off Pop Performance
space
The THS4524 was tested to show on and off pop
performance by connecting a speaker between the
differential outputs and switching the power supply on
and off, and also by using the PD function of the
THS4524. Testing was done with and without tones.
During these tests, no audible pop could be heard.
With no tone input, Figure 75 shows the pop
performance using the PD pin to enable the
THS4524, and Figure 76 shows performance using
the PD pin to disable the device. Again, the transients
during power on and off show that no audible pop
should be heard. It should also be noted that the turn
on/off times are faster using the PD pin technique.
With no tone input, Figure 73 shows the pop
performance when switching power on to the
THS4524 and Figure 74 shows the device
performance when turning the power off. The
transients during power on and off illustrate that no
audible pop should be heard

Audio ADC Driver Performance:
THS4524 and PCM4204 Combined
Performance
To show achievable performance with a highperformance audio ADC, the THS4524 is tested as
the drive amplifier for the PCM4204. The PCM4204 is
a high-performance, four-channel ADC designed for
professional and broadcast audio applications. The
PCM4204 architecture uses a 1-bit delta-sigma (ΔΣ)
modulator per channel that incorporates an advanced
dither scheme for improved dynamic performance,
and supports PCM output data. The PCM4204
provides a flexible serial port interface and many
other advanced features. Refer to the PCM4204
product data sheet for more information.
The PCM4204EVM can test the audio performance of
the THS4524 as a drive amplifier. The standard
PCM4204EVM is provided with four OPA1632 fullydifferential amplifiers, which use the same device
pinout as the THS4524. For testing, one of these
amplifiers is replaced with a THS4524 device in same
package (MSOP), and the power supply changes to a
single-supply +5V. Figure 79 shows the modifications
made to the circuit. Note the resistor connecting the
VOCM input of the THS4524 to the input commonmode drive from the PCM4204 is shown removed
and is optional; no performance change was noted
with it connected or removed. The THS4524 is
operated with a +5-V single-supply so the output
common-mode defaults to +2.5 V as required at the
input of the PCM4204. The EVM power connections
were modified by connecting positive supply inputs,
+15 V, +5 VA and +5 VD, to a +5-V external power
supply (EXT +3.3 was not used) and connecting –15
V and all ground inputs to ground on the external
power supply. Note only one external +5-V supply
was needed to power all devices on the EVM.
A SYS-2722 Audio Analyzer from Audio Precision
(AP) provides an analog audio input to the EVM; the
PCM-formatted digital output is read by the digital
input on the AP.
Data were taken using a 256-fS system clock to
achieve fS = 48-kHz measurements, and audio output
uses PCM format. Other data rates and formats are
expected to show similar performance in line with that
shown in the product data sheet.
Figure 77 shows the THD+N vs Frequency response
with no weighting; Figure 78 shows an FFT of the
output with 1-kHz input tone. Input signals to the
PCM4204 for these tests is 0.5 dBFS. Dynamic range
is also tested at –60 dBFS, fIN = 1 kHz, and Aweighted. Table 4 summarizes testing results using
the THS4524 together with the PCM4204 versus
typical data sheet performance measurements, and
show that it make an excellent drive amplifier for this
ADC.
The test circuit shown in Figure 79 has a gain = 0.27
and attenuates the input signal. For applications that
require higher gain, the circuit was modified to gains
of G = 1, G = 2, and G = 5 by replacing the feedback
resistors (R33 and R34) and re-tested to show
performance.

EVM is configured for both differential inputs as
shown in Figure 61 and for single-ended input as
shown in Figure 62 with 1-kΩ resistors for RF and RG,
and 24.9-Ω resistors in series with each output to
isolate the outputs from the reactive load of the
coaxial cables. To limit the noise from the external
EVM and cables, a 2.7-nF capacitor is placed
differentially across the PCM3168A inputs. The
THS4524 is operated with a single-supply +5-V
supply so the output common-mode of the THS4524
defaults to +2.5 V as required at the input of the
PCM3168A. The PCM3168A EVM is configured and
operated as described in the PCM3168AEVM User
Guide. The ADC was tested with an external
THS4524 EVM with both single-ended input and
differential inputs. In both configurations, the results
are the same. Figure 81 shows the THD+N versus
frequency and Table 5 compares the result to the
PCM3168 data sheet typical specification at 1 kHz.
Both graphs show that it makes an excellent drive
amplifier for this ADC. Note: a 2700 series Audio
Analyzer from Audio Precision is used to generate
the input signals to the THS4524 and to analyze the
digital data from the PCM3168.

The THS4524 is also tested as the drive amplifier for

coder/decoder (codec) with single-ended and
differential selectable analog inputs and differential
outputs. The six-channel, 24-bit ADC employs a ΔΣ
modulator and supports 8-kHz to 96-kHz sampling
rates and a 16-bit/24-bit width digital audio output
word on the audio interface. The eight-channel, 24-bit
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) employs a ΔΣ
modulator and supports 8-kHz to 192-kHz sampling
rates and a 16-bit/24-bit width digital audio input word
on the audio interface. Each audio interface supports
I2S™, left-/right-justified, and DSP formats with 16bit/24-bit word width. In addition, the PCM3168A
supports the time-division-multiplexed (TDM) format..
The PCM3168A provides flexible serial port interface
and many other advanced features. Refer to the

ADC Driver Performance:
THS4524 and ADS8321 Combined
Performance
Data were taken using the ADS8321 at 100 kSPS
with input frequencies of 2 kHz and 10 kHz and
signal levels that were -0.5 dBFS. FFT plots that
illustrate the spectral performance are given in
Figure 86 and Figure 87. Tabulated ac analysis
results are listed in Table 7 and compared to the
ADS8321 data sheet typical performance.
To demonstrate achievable performance, the
THS4524 is tested as the drive amplifier for the
ADS8321 16-bit SAR ADC. The ADS8321 offers
excellent ac and dc performance, with ultra-low power
and small size. The circuit shown in Figure 85 was
used to test the performance.

EVM AND LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Figure 88 shows the THS4524EVM schematic. PCB layers 1 through 4 are shown in Figure 89; Table 8 lists the
bill of materials for the THS4524EVM as supplied from TI. It is recommended to follow the layout of the external
components near to the amplifier, ground plane construction, and power routing as closely as possible. Follow
these general guidelines:
1. Signal routing should be direct and as short as possible into and out of the op amp circuit.
2. The feedback path should be short and direct.
3. Ground or power planes should be removed from directly under the amplifier input and output pins.
4. An output resistor is recommended in each output lead, placed as near to the output pins as possible.
5. Two 0.1-μF power-supply decoupling capacitors should be placed as near to the power-supply pins as
possible.
6. Two 10-μF power-supply decoupling capacitors should be placed within 1 inch of the device and can be
shared among multple analog devices.
7. A 0.22-μF capacitor should be placed between the VOCM input pin and ground near to the pin. This capacitor
limits noise coupled into the pin.
8. The PD pin uses TTL logic levels; a bypass capacitor is not necessary if actively driven, but can be used for
robustness in noisy environments whether driven or not.
9. If input termination resistors R10 and R11 are used, a single point connection to ground on L2 is
recommended.
