stage design. Because of the many misconceptions
about the performance of conventional input stages,
and to set the stage for discussion of InGenius, we
will begin by discussing conventional approaches.

The Impact of Driving Source Impedance
non-zero output impedance, the situation is more
complicated. Figure 4 shows the equivalent circuit of
a real-world differential application. In this case, the
source connected to the differential receiver has
source impedance of R
in the negative side. Because these two resistive ele-
ments are in series with each other, they only serve to
attenuate the signal V
ance of the differential stage. Even if they (Rs+ and
Rs-) are mismatched, this attenuation is the only con-
sequence of non-zero source impedance.
mon-mode interference. Common-mode signals ap-
pear in phase between the two input terminals. For
in-phase signals, the source impedances can have
significant impact. As shown in Figure 5, this is be-
cause each leg of the source impedance forms a volt-
age divider when it interacts with the input
impedance of its respective input of the differential
amplifier.
