3 Description
The THS3491 device current-feedback amplifier
(CFA) provides a new level of performance for
applications requiring the lowest distortion at very
high output power levels through > 100-MHz
operating frequencies at 100 ohm loads. Although
specified at a gain of 5 V/V, this current feedback
design holds almost constant bandwidth and
distortion over a wide range of gains.
The remarkable 8000 V/µs slew rate delivers 10-VPP
output into demanding loads with very low distortion
through 320 MHz. The 900-MHz, small-signal
bandwidth delivers a low overshoot of < 0.5-ns rise
time for a step of < 4 V.
New designs can benefit from the lowest distortion
using the VQFN-16 (RGT) package; whereas, the 8-
pin SO PowerPAD™ (DDA) package can be used to
upgrade existing THS3091 or THS3095 designs.
Lower output headroom for the THS3491 gives more
output swing on the same ±15-V supplies versus
legacy THS3091 or THS3095 solutions.
