equivalent input resistance at AIN and ac-coupling to AIN

Some applications may require ac-coupling of the input signal to the AIN pin. Such applications can use an

ac-coupling network such as shown in Figure 34.

Figure 34. AC-Coupling the Input Signal to the AIN Pin

Note that if the bias voltage is derived from the supplies, as shown in Figure 34, then additional filtering should

be used to ensure that noise from the supplies does not reach AIN.

Working with the input current pulse equations given in the previous section is awkward when designing

ac-coupling input networks. For such design, it is much simpler to model the AIN input as an equivalent
