INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE
The ADA4932-x input common-mode range is shifted down
by approximately one VBE, in contrast to other ADC drivers
with centered input ranges such as the ADA4939-x. The
downward-shifted input common-mode range is especially
suited to dc-coupled, single-ended-to-differential, and single-
supply applications.
For ±5 V operation, the input common-mode range at the
summing nodes of the amplifier is specified as −4.8 V to +3.2 V,
and is specified as +0.2 V to +3.2 V with a +5 V supply. To
avoid nonlinearities, the voltage swing at the +IN and −IN
terminals must be confined to these ranges.
INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITIVE AC COUPLING
While the ADA4932-x is best suited to dc-coupled applications,
it is nonetheless possible to use it in ac-coupled circuits. Input
ac coupling capacitors can be inserted between the source and
R
G
. This ac coupling blocks the flow of the dc common-mode
feedback current and causes the ADA4932-x dc input common-
mode voltage to equal the dc output common-mode voltage.
These ac coupling capacitors must be placed in both loops to keep
the feedback factors matched. Output ac coupling capacitors can
be placed in series between each output and its respective load.
SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE
The V
OCM
pin of the ADA4932-x is internally biased with a vol-
tage divider comprised of two 50 kΩ resistors across the supplies,
with a tap at a voltage approximately equal to the midsupply
point, [(+V
S
) + (−V
S
)]/2. Because of this internal divider, the
V
OCM
pin sources and sinks current, depending on the externally
applied voltage and its associated source resistance. Relying on
the internal bias results in an output common-mode voltage
that is within about 100 mV of the expected value.
In cases where more 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. If an external voltage divider consisting of equal
resistor values is used to set V
OCM
to midsupply with greater
accuracy than produced internally, higher values can be used
because the external resistors are placed in parallel with the
internal resistors. 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
level (CML) 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
ADA4932-x devices share one ADC reference output, a buffer
may be necessary to drive the parallel inputs.
