9.2.4 Single Supply Operation
The input stage of the LMH6550 has a built in offset of 0.7 V towards the lower supply to accommodate single
supply operation with single-ended inputs. As shown in Figure 28, the input common-mode voltage is less than
the output common voltage. It is set by current flowing through the feedback network from the device output. The
input common-mode range of 0.4 V to 3.2 V places constraints on gain settings. Possible solutions to this
limitation include AC coupling the input signal, using split power supplies and limiting stage gain. AC coupling
with single supply is shown in Figure 29.
In Figure 28 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.
