MINIMUM R
G
VALUE
Due to the wide bandwidth of the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2, the
value of R
G
must be greater than or equal to 301 Ω at unity gain
to provide sufficient damping in the amplifier front end. In the
terminated case, R
G
includes the Thevenin resistance of the
source and load terminations.
SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE
The V
OCM
pin of the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 is biased at 3/10 of
the total supply voltage above −V
S
with an internal voltage divider.
The input impedance of the V
OCM
pin is 8.4 kΩ. When relying
on the internal bias, the output common-mode voltage is within
about 100 mV of the expected value.
In cases where accurate control of the output common-mode
level is required, it is recommended that an external source or
resistor divider be used with source resistance less than 100 Ω.
The output common-mode offset listed in the Specifications
section assumes that the V
OCM
input is driven by a low impedance
voltage source.
It is also possible to connect the V
OCM
input to a common-mode
voltage (V
CM
) output of an ADC. However, care must be taken
to ensure that the output has sufficient drive capability. The
input impedance of the V
OCM
pin is approximately 10 kΩ. If
multiple ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 devices share one reference
output, it is recommended that a buffer be used.
CALCULATING THE INPUT IMPEDANCE FOR AN
APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The effective input impedance depends on whether the signal
source is single-ended or differential. For a balanced differential
input signal, as shown in Figure 44, the input impedance (R
IN, dm
)
between the inputs (+D
IN
and −D
IN
) is R

= 2 × R

The input impedance of the circuit is effectively higher than it
would be for a conventional op amp connected as an inverter
because a fraction of the differential output voltage appears at
the inputs as a common-mode signal, partially bootstrapping
the voltage across the input resistor R
G1
. The common-mode
voltage at the amplifier input terminals can be easily determined
by noting that the voltage at the inverting input is equal to the
noninverting output voltage divided down by the voltage divider
formed by R
F2
and R
G2
. This voltage is present at both input
terminals due to negative voltage feedback and is in phase with
the input signal, thus reducing the effective voltage across R
G1
,
partially bootstrapping it.

Terminating a Single-Ended Input
This section describes the five steps that properly terminate a
single-ended input to the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2. Assume a
system gain of 1, R

circuit output voltage of 2 V p-p, and a source resistance of 50 Ω.

Terminating a Single-Ended Input in a Single-Supply
Applications
When the application circuit of Figure 50 is powered by a single
supply, the common-mode voltage at the amplifier inputs, V
P
and V
N
, may have to be raised to comply with the specified input
common-mode range. Two methods are available: a dc bias on
the source, as shown in Figure 51, or by connecting resistors
R
CM
between each input and the supply, as shown on Figure 54.
Input Common-Mode Adjustment with DC Biased Source
To drive a 1.8 V ADC with V
CM
= 1 V, a 3.3 V single supply
minimizes the power dissipation of the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2.
The application circuit of Figure 50 on a 3.3 V single supply with a
dc bias added to the source is shown in Figure 51.

must be taken:

Convert the terminated inputs to their Thevenin equivalents,
as shown in the Figure 52 circuit.

Recognize that while the ADA4930-1/ADA4930-2 is in its
linear operating region, V
P
and V
N
are equal. Therefore,
both equations in Step 2 give equal results.
3.
To comply with the minimum specified input common-mode
voltage of 0.3 V at V
S
= 3.3 V, set the minimum value of V
P
and V
N
to 0.3 V.
4.
Recognize that V
P
and V
N
are at their minimum values when
V

is at its
maximum).

The final application circuit is shown in Figure 53. The

is at 1 V.
