Typical Applications (continued)
9.2.3 Single-Ended Input to Differential Output
The LMH6550 provides excellent performance as an active balun transformer. Figure 28 shows a typical
application where an LMH6550 is used to produce a differential signal from a single-ended source.
In single-ended input operation the output common-mode voltage is set by the VCM pin as in fully differential
mode. Also, in this mode the common-mode feedback circuit must recreate the signal that is not present on the
unused differential input pin. Figure 19 is the measurement of the effectiveness of this process. The common-
mode feedback circuit is responsible for ensuring balanced output with a single-ended input. Balance error is
defined as the amount of input signal that couples into the output common mode. It is measured as a the
undesired output common-mode swing divided by the signal on the input. Balance error can be caused by either
a channel to channel gain error, or phase error. Either condition will produce a common-mode shift. Figure 19
measures the balance error with a single-ended input as that is the most demanding mode of operation for the
amplifier.
Supply and VCM pin bypassing are also critical in this mode of operation. See the above section on for bypassing
recommendations and also see Figure 23 and Figure 24 for recommended supply bypassing configurations.
