In Figure 31 closed loop gain = V_O / V_I ≊ R_F / R_G, where V_I =V_S / 2, as long as R_M << R_G. Note that in single
ended to differential operation V_I is measured single ended while V_O is measured differentially. This means that
gain is really 1/2 or 6 dB less when measured on either of the output pins separately. Additionally, note that the
input signal at R_T (labeled as V_I) is 1/2 of V_S when R_T is chosen to match R_S to R_IN.
V_ICM = Input common mode voltage = (V_I1+V_I2) / 2.

DRIVING ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTERS
Analog to digital converters (ADC) present challenging load conditions. They typically have high impedance
inputs with large and often variable capacitive components. As well, there are usually current spikes associated
with switched capacitor or sample and hold circuits. Figure 33 shows a typical circuit for driving an ADC. The two
56Ω resistors serve to isolate the capacitive loading of the ADC from the amplifier and ensure stability. In
addition, the resistors form part of a low pass filter which helps to provide anti alias and noise reduction
functions. The two 39 pF capacitors help to smooth the current spikes associated with the internal switching
circuits of the ADC and also are a key component in the low pass filtering of the ADC input. In the circuit of
Figure 33the cutoff frequency of the filter is 1/ (2*π*56Ω *(39 pF + 14pF)) = 53MHz (which is slightly less than
the sampling frequency). Note that the ADC input capacitance must be factored into the frequency response of
the input filter, and that being a differential input the effective input capacitance is double. Also as shown in
Figure 33 the input capacitance to many ADCs is variable based on the clock cycle. See the data sheet for your
particular ADC for details.
