Starting from these two assumptions, The AD8131 differs from conventional op amps in that it has any application circuit can be analyzed. two outputs whose voltages move in opposite directions. Like an op amp, it relies on high open-loop gain and negative CLOSED-LOOP GAIN feedback to force these outputs to the desired voltages. The The differential mode gain of the circuit in Figure 39 can be AD8131 behaves much like a standard voltage feedback op amp described by the following equation: and makes it easy to perform single-ended-to-differential conversion, common-mode level-shifting, and amplification of differential signals.

AD8131 INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE IN In cases where more accurate control of the output common- SINGLE-SUPPLY APPLICATIONS mode level is required, it is recommended that an external source, or resistor divider (made up of 10 kΩ resistors), be used. The AD8131 is optimized for level-shifting ground referenced input signals. For a single-ended input this would imply, for DRIVING A CAPACITIVE LOAD example, that the voltage at −D in Figure 39 would be zero IN A purely capacitive load can react with the pin and bondwire volts when the amplifier’s negative power supply voltage (at V−) inductance of the AD8131 resulting in high frequency ringing was also set to zero volts. in the pulse response. One way to minimize this effect is to SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE place a small resistor in series with the amplifier’s outputs as shown in Figure 26. The AD8131’s V pin is internally biased at a voltage OCM approximately equal to the midsupply point (average value of the voltages on V+ and V−). Relying on this internal bias results in an output common-mode voltage that is within about 25 mV of the expected value. Rev. B | Page 17 of 20
