APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ANALYZING AN APPLICATION CIRCUIT
to force its differential and common-mode output voltages in
such a way as to minimize the differential and common-mode
error voltages. The differential error voltage is defined as the
voltage between the differential inputs labeled +IN and IN
to be zero. Similarly, the difference between the actual output
common-mode voltage and the voltage applied to VOCM can also
be assumed to be zero. Starting from these principles, any applica-
tion circuit can be analyzed.

This presumes that the input resistors (RG) and feedback resistors
(RF) on each side are equal.
ESTIMATING THE OUTPUT NOISE VOLTAGE
estimated using the noise model in
Figure 56. The input-
referred noise voltage density, vnIN, is modeled as a differential
input, and the noise currents, inIN and inIN+, appear between
each input and ground. The output voltage due to vnIN is obtained
by multiplying vnIN by the noise gain, GN (defined in the GN
equation that follows). The noise currents are uncorrelated with
the same mean-square value, and each produces an output voltage
that is equal to the noise current multiplied by the associated
feedback resistance. The noise voltage density at the VOCM pin is
vnCM. When the feedback networks have the same feedback factor,
as is true in most cases, the output noise due to vnCM is common
mode. Each of the four resistors contributes (4kTRxx)1/2. The
noise from the feedback resistors appears directly at the output,
and the noise from the gain resistors appears at the output multip-
multiplication factors, and the output-referred noise density terms.
