THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADA4938-x differs from conventional op amps in that it
has two outputs whose voltages move in opposite directions.
Like an op amp, it relies on open-loop gain and negative
feedback to force these outputs to the desired voltages. The
ADA4938-x behaves much like a standard voltage feedback op
amp and makes it easier to perform single-ended-to-differential
conversions, common-mode level shifting, and amplifications of
differential signals. Also like an op amp, the ADA4938-x has
high input impedance and low output impedance.
Two feedback loops are employed to control the differential and
common-mode output voltages. The differential feedback, set
with external resistors, controls only the differential output
voltage. The common-mode feedback controls only the common-
mode output voltage. This architecture makes it easy to set the
output common-mode level to any arbitrary value. It is forced,
by internal common-mode feedback, to be equal to the voltage
applied to the V
output voltage.
The ADA4938-x architecture results in outputs that are highly
balanced over a wide frequency range without requiring tightly
matched external components. The common-mode feedback
loop forces the signal component of the output common-
mode voltage to zero, which results in nearly perfectly balanced
differential outputs that are identical in amplitude and are
exactly 180° apart in phase.
ANALYZING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The ADA4938-x uses open-loop gain and negative feedback to
force its differential and common-mode output voltages in such
a way as to minimize the differential and common-mode error
voltages. The differential error voltage is defined as the voltage
between the differential inputs labeled +IN and −IN (see
Figure 57). For most purposes, this voltage can be assumed
to be zero. Similarly, the difference between the actual output
common-mode voltage and the voltage applied to V
be assumed to be zero. Starting from these two assumptions,
any application circuit can be analyzed.
