IN = IN (common mode) + IN (differential)
IN (common mode) = (VCC – IcQ * RL) / (RL + RS + RG)
IN (differential) = IPP * RL / (RL + RS + RG)
(23)
The entirety of the Norton source differential component will flow through the feedback resistors within the
LMH6555 and generate an output. Therefore:
IN (differential) * RF = 800 mVPP
→ RS = (RL* IPP * RF/ 0.8) – RG – RL
where
• RF = 430Ω
• RG = 39Ω (RF and RG are internal LMH6555 resistances)
(24)
So, in this case:
RS = (169 * 15 mAPP * 430/ 0.8) – 39 – 169 = 1154Ω
Choose 1.15 kΩ, 1% resistors for RS

c. With RL and RS defined, ensure that the U1 collector voltage(s) minimum is not violated due to the loading
effect of the LMH6555 through RS. Also, it is important to ensure that the LMH6555's CMVR is also not
violated.
The “Vx” node voltage within the LMH6555 (see Figure 35) would need to be calculated. Use the Common
Mode component of the Norton equivalent source from above, and write the KCL at the Vx node as follows:
Vx / RE + Vx / RN = 12.6 mA + IN (common mode); with RE = 25Ω
Vx / RE + Vx / RN = 12.6 mA + (VCC – IcQ RL )/ (RL + RS + RG)
→Vx = 0.4595V
(26)
With Vx calculated, both the input voltage range (high and low) and the low end of the U1 collector voltage
(VC) can be derived to be within the acceptable range. If necessary, steps “a” through “c” would have to be
repeated to readjust these values.
VC = VX RL / RN + IN (RS + RG)

IN_High = 7.05 mA, IN_Low = 5.19 mA (based on the values derived)
→VC_High = 0.4595 * 169 / 1358 + 7.05 mA (1150 + 39) = 8.44V
→VC_Low = 0.4595 * 169 / 1358 + 5.19 mA (1150 + 39) = 6.22V
