THS4552
SBOS831 – DECEMBER 2016
9.1 Overview
In addition to the core differential I/O voltage feedback gain block, there are two 5.2-kΩ resistors internally across
the outputs to sense the average voltage at the outputs. These resistors feed the average voltage back into a
V_CM error amplifier where the voltage is compared to either a default voltage divider across the supplies or an
externally set V_OCM target voltage. When the amplifier is disabled, the default midsupply bias string is disabled to
save power.
To achieve the very-low noise at the low power provided by the THS4552, the input stage transistors are
relatively large, thus resulting in a higher differential input capacitance (1.2 pF in the Functional Block Diagram).
As a default compensation for the 1.2-pF differential input capacitance and the 1-kΩ feedback resistors used in
characterization, internal 0.6-pF capacitors are placed between the two output and input pins. Adjust any desired
external feedback capacitor value to account for these 0.6-pF internal elements. When using the 24-pin VQFN
package and the internal feedback traces to the input side of the package, include the nominal trace impedance
of 3.3 Ω in the design. These elements are not included in the TINA-TI™ model and must be added externally to
a design intending to use the RTW package.
