As a third example of arriving at the input pin voltage swings, use the design of Figure 96 (the ADC3241 design).
Thevenize the source to just one input resistor to get an expression for the input V_ICM in terms of the input
voltage to be derived. Figure 72 shows the gain of 5 V/V, dc-coupled, matched input impedance, single-ended to
differential circuit of Figure 96 with both sides reduced to a single input resistor. In Figure 96, the design operates
on a single 3.3-V supply with an output V_OCM equal to 0.95 V to directly connect to TI’s line of low-power
ADC3xxx series of 12- and 14-bit ADCs. This family accepts a 2-V_PP maximum differential voltage, which (at the
input-terminating resistor of Figure 96) is a ±0.2-V swing. Going back to the source through the matching resistor
is then a ±0.4-V source swing. Thevenizing that source with the R_T element provides the ±0.217 V shown in
Figure 72 and the total R2 as the sum of R_G1 and 50 Ω || 59 Ω.

Figure 72. Input V_ICM Analysis Circuit From the Design of Figure 96
For an input signal (V_THEV) that swings around ground as ±V_THEV, the input pins are within a range given by
Equation 7, which is a superposition of the output V_OCM divided back to the input nodes and half of the input
±V_THEV signal.

Using the values from the design of Figure 72, the computed input range for the THS4552 input pins is V_ICM =
0.168 V ± 0.89 mV or 0.079 V to 0.257 V at the input pins. These values are well within range for the negative
rail input available in the THS4552.
A simpler approach to arriving at the input common mode range for this DC coupled single supply design would
be to take the output voltage swing range on the lower side (non – signal input side) and simply divide it back
through its resistor divider to ground on that side.
