Single-Supply DC-Coupled 16-Bit, 125 MSPS Analog Front End for Bipolar Input

Circuit solves a problem often encountered in dc-coupled single-supply systems when interfacing bipolar input signals to differential input, low voltage analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The technique ensures the proper common-mode voltage level at the input to the differential drive amplifier by controlling the input common-mode level using two level shifting resistors. The output common-mode voltage is established independently by applying the correct voltage to the VOCM pin of the ADA4930-1 differential driver
