The MAX9626/MAX9627/MAX9628 family employs
voltage feedback to implement a differential-in to
differential-out amplifier. On-chip feedback resistors set
the gain of the amplifier. The use of on-chip resistors
not only saves cost and space, but also maximizes the
overall amplifier’s performance.
There are two feedback loops within the amplifier
circuit. The differential feedback loop employs the on-
chip resistors to set the differential gain. The signal is
applied differentially at the inputs and the output signal is
obtained differentially at the outputs. The common-mode
feedback loop controls the common-mode voltage at the
outputs. Both inverting and noninverting outputs exhibit
a common-mode voltage equal to the voltage applied
at VOCM input, without affecting the differential output
signal. The outputs are perfectly balanced having
signals of equal amplitude and 180N apart in-phase.
Amplifier input impedance is determined by internal
gain resistors. Therefore, source impedance does affect
the gain of the amplifier. Input termination resistors
are required to achieve source impedance match. If
preferred, the customer has the choice of using the
on-chip termination resistors. If they are used, then
the amplifier’s input impedance is 50I for single-
ended input configuration. The amplifier’s differential gain
accuracy is directly affected by the source impedance
value.
The ICs feature a proprietary circuit design. The use
of predistortion and dynamic distortion cancellation
greatly improves large-signal AC-performance at high
frequency.
The ICs have internal gain resistors to achieve
excellent bandwidth and distortion performance. Because
the virtual ground nodes among the gain resistors and
the inputs of the amplifier are internal to the device, the
parasitic capacitors of such nodes are kept to the
minimum. This enhances the AC performance of the
device.

The ICs have three gain options with resistor values as
per Table 1, while keeping the bandwidth constant.
Table 1. Amplifier’s Gain Setting and
Internal Resistor Values
The differential gain is given by the equation: G = R
Use the internal R
source impedance R
of the amplifier has to match with it. For a perfectly
balanced circuit driven by a differential source
impedance, the input impedance of the amplifier is given
by the simple equation R
input applications, where the source impedance of 50I
connects to either input, such as in the Typical Operating
Circuit, the input impedance of the amplifier is given by
the equation:
To match the input impedance R
tion must be met: R
Therefore:
From this equation it can be inferred that R
for all the cases of Table 1.
