THS6012IDWP

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The THS6012IDWP is a dual differential line driver manufactured by 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 specifications include a slew rate of 1300 V/µs at G=5 and a small-signal bandwidth of 140 MHz with a 25-ohm load. It incorporates independent power supply pins to minimize crosstalk, along with thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection. The component is housed in a 20-pin thermally enhanced PowerPAD SOIC package.
