ADA4938-2
Similar to the case of a conventional op amp, the output noise
voltage densities can be estimated by multiplying the input-
referred terms at +IN and −IN by the appropriate output factor,
where:

THE IMPACT OF MISMATCHES IN THE FEEDBACK
NETWORKS
As previously mentioned, even if the external feedback networks
(R
loop still forces the outputs to remain balanced. The amplitudes
of the signals at each output remain equal and 180° out of phase.
The input-to-output, differential mode gain varies proportionately
to the feedback mismatch, but the output balance is unaffected.
As well as causing a noise contribution from V
matching errors in the external resistors result in a degradation
of the ability of the circuit to reject input common-mode signals,
much the same as for a four-resistor difference amplifier made
from a conventional op amp.
In addition, if the dc levels of the input and output common-
mode voltages are different, matching errors result in a small
differential-mode output offset voltage. When G = 1, with a
ground referenced input signal and the output common-mode
level set to 2.5 V, an output offset of as much as 25 mV (1% of
the difference in common-mode levels) can result if 1% tolerance
resistors are used. Resistors of 1% tolerance result in a worst-
case input CMRR of about 40 dB, a worst-case differential-
mode output offset of 25 mV due to 2.5 V level-shift, and no
significant degradation in output balance error.

CALCULATING THE INPUT IMPEDANCE OF AN
APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The effective input impedance of a circuit depends on whether
the amplifier is being driven by a single-ended or differential
signal source. For balanced differential input signals, as shown
in Figure 56, the input impedance (R
(+D
For an unbalanced, single-ended input signal (see Figure 57),
the input impedance is
The input impedance of the circuit is effectively higher than it
would be for a conventional op amp connected as an inverter
because a fraction of the differential output voltage appears at
the inputs as a common-mode signal, partially bootstrapping
the voltage across the input resistor R
INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE IN
SINGLE-SUPPLY APPLICATIONS
The ADA4938 is optimized for level-shifting, ground-referenced
input signals. As such, the center of the input common-mode
range is shifted approximately 1 V down from midsupply. The
input common-mode range at the summing nodes of the
amplifier is from 0.3 V above −V
clipping at the outputs, the voltage swing at the +IN and −IN
terminals must be confined to these ranges.
