Input Impedance for the Single-Ended to Differential FDA Configuration

The designs so far have included a source impedance, Rs, that must be matched by Rt and Rg1. The total impedance at the junction of Rt and Rg1 for the circuit of Figure 8-3 is the parallel combination of Rt to ground, and the ZA (active impedance) presented by Rg1. The expression for ZA, assuming Rg2 is set to obtain the differential divider balance, is given by Equation 5:

Equation 5. GUID-FAFCD7A0-C7E5-4220-883D-B56798AF89E4-low.gif

For designs that do not need impedance matching, but instead come from the low impedance output of another amplifier for instance, Rg1 = Rg2 is the single-to-differential design used without an Rt to ground. Setting Rg1 = Rg2 = Rg in Equation 5 gives the input impedance of a simple input FDA driving from a low-impedance, single-ended source to a differential output as shown in Equation 6:

Equation 6. GUID-C610CEED-2074-488B-A5D1-61B9B3F819EF-low.gif

In this case, setting a target gain as Rf / Rg ≡ α, and then setting the desired input impedance, allows the Rg element to be resolved first, and then the required Rf to get the gain. For example, targeting an input impedance of 200 Ω with a gain of 4 V/V, Equation 7 gives the physical Rg element. Multiplying this required Rg value by a gain of 4 gives the Rf value and the design of Figure 9-1.

After being designed, this circuit can also be AC-coupled by adding blocking caps in series with the two 120 Ω Rg resistors. This active input impedance has the advantage of increasing the apparent load to the prior stage using lower resistors values, leading to lower output noise for a given gain target.
