The following circuits show application information

for the THS4520. For simplicity, power supply

decoupling capacitors are not shown in these

diagrams. For more detail on the use and operation

of fully differential op amps see application report

Fully-Differential Amplifiers (SLOA054) .

The THS4520 is a fully differential op amp, and can

be used to amplify differential input signals to

differential output signals. A basic block diagram of

The

voltage

fully

differential op amp is the voltage at the '+' and '–'

input pins of the op amp.

It is important to not violate the input common-mode

voltage range (VICR) of the op amp. Assuming the op

amp is in linear operation, the differential voltage

across the input pins is only a few millivolts at most.

So finding the voltage at one input pin determines

the input common-mode voltage of the op amp.

Treating the negative input as a summing node, the

voltage is given by Equation 1:

To determine the VICR of the op amp, the voltage at

the negative input is evaluated at the extremes of

termination can be accomplished by adding RIT and

RO.

As the gain of the op amp increases, the input

common-mode voltage becomes closer and closer to

the input common-mode voltage of the source.

The THS4520 can be used to amplify and convert

single-ended input signals to differential output

voltage, when set within

±0.5 V of mid-supply. If left

unconnected, the common-mode set point is set to

mid-supply by internal circuitry, which may be

over-driven from an external source. Figure 35 is

representative of the CM input. The internal CM

circuit has about 230 MHz of bandwidth, which is
