1. Chip Introduction
The THS4271 is a high-performance voltage feedback amplifier manufactured by TI. It is designed for applications requiring low noise, high slew rate, and excellent stability. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 5V to 15V and offers a wide bandwidth, low distortion, and a high dynamic range. This makes it suitable for use in a variety of high-precision analog systems.
The THS4271 is available in multiple package options, including SOIC, MSOP with PowerPAD, and leadless MSOP with PowerPAD. These packaging choices allow for flexible integration into different types of circuits. Table 1 outlines some of the key specifications of the THS4271.
The physical layout and pin configuration of the THS4271 are shown in Figure 1. Each pin has a specific function, and some are marked as "NC," meaning they are not connected.
2. Experimental Principle
2.1 Input Offset Voltage
In an ideal operational amplifier, the output should be zero when the input is zero. However, due to internal asymmetry, the actual output may not be zero without external compensation. This deviation is known as the input offset voltage (UIO). A small UIO value indicates better symmetry and higher performance.
2.2 Input Offset Current
The input offset current (IIO) refers to the difference between the bias currents at the two inputs of the op amp. A lower IIO means less impact on the output DC level, especially in high-impedance signal sources.
2.3 Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
The CMRR measures the amplifier's ability to reject common-mode signals. A higher CMRR indicates better immunity to interference and improved circuit symmetry.
2.4 Open-Loop Differential Gain
This parameter represents the gain of the op amp without any feedback. It is calculated as the ratio of the output voltage to the differential input voltage. A higher open-loop gain contributes to better overall performance.
3. Test Circuit, Data, and Analysis
3.1 Measurement of Input Offset Voltage
A schematic diagram of the offset voltage test circuit is shown in Figure 2. By closing switches S1 and S2 and shorting resistor Ra, the output voltage was measured. Using the formula UIO = R1 * UO / (R1 + Rf), the input offset voltage was calculated as 3.85 mV, based on an output voltage of 385 mV.
