Terminating a Single-Ended Input in a Single-Supply

Applications

When the application circuit of Figure 50 is powered by a single

common-mode range. Two methods are available: a dc bias on

the source, as shown in Figure 51, or by connecting resistors

Input Common-Mode Adjustment with DC Biased Source

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.

To determine the minimum required dc bias, the following steps

must be taken:

1.

Convert the terminated inputs to their Thevenin equivalents,

as shown in the Figure 52 circuit.
