LT1187 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The primary use of the LT1187 is in converting high speed Power Supply Bypassing differential signals to a single-ended output. The LT1187 The LT1187 is quite tolerant of power supply bypass- video difference amplifier has two uncommitted high ing. In some applications a 0.1µF ceramic disc capacitor input impedance (+) and (–) inputs. The amplifier has placed 1/2 inch from the amplifier is all that is required. In another set of inputs which can be used for reference and applications requiring good settling time, it is important feedback. Additionally, this set of inputs give gain adjust to use multiple bypass capacitors. A 0.1µF ceramic disc and DC control to the difference amplifier. The voltage in parallel with a 4.7µF tantalum is recommended. gain of the LT1187 is set like a conventional operational amplifier. Feedback is applied to Pin 8, and it is optimized Calculating the Output Offset Voltage for gains of 2 or greater. The amplifier can be operated single-ended by connecting either the (+) or (–) inputs to Both input stages contribute to the output offset voltage at the +/REF (Pin 1). The voltage gain is set by the resistors: Pin 6. The feedback correction forces balance in the input (R stages by introducing an input V FB + RG)/RG. OS at Pin 8. The complete expression for the output offset voltage is: Like the single-ended case, the differential voltage gain is set by the external resistors: (R V FB + RG)/RG.
