THS6012CDWPR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The THS6012CDWPR is a dual differential line driver from Texas Instruments designed for high-speed xDSL applications. It features two independent current feedback amplifiers capable of delivering a minimum output current of 400 mA into a 25-ohm load. The device operates on split supplies ranging from ±4.5 V to ±16 V or single supplies from 9 V to 32 V. Key electrical parameters include a slew rate of 1300 V/μs at G=5, a small-signal bandwidth of 140 MHz with a 25-ohm load, and an input offset voltage of 5 mV maximum over the full temperature range. It is housed in a 20-pin PowerPAD thermally enhanced SOIC package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the 'C' suffix corresponds to the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Ensure the DWP package type matches the required PCB footprint and thermal pad connection strategy for proper heat dissipation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high output current drive capabilities into low impedance loads. Consider the independent power supply pins if minimizing inter-channel crosstalk is critical. Evaluate the thermal performance requirements against the PowerPAD package's heat dissipation capabilities to ensure junction temperatures remain within safe operating limits.
