The INA does not work properly with square-wave input signals.

Thread Summary

The user is experiencing issues with a fully differential operational amplifier (LTC6373) on a breakout board, where the amplifier works correctly for sine waves but shows a charging and discharging pattern for square waves. The final answer suggests setting DC coupling for the measurement channels, as AC coupling can cause such waveforms at low frequencies. The user also noted that adding the optional 180 pF capacitor on PIN 9, as mentioned in the LTC6373 EVM documentation, resolved the issue.

    I am trying to implement a fully differential differential opera tion as shown in the schematic. The Schematic is working absolutely fine. I fabricated a breakout board and did exactly the same as shown in the schematic. The INA works for the sine wave as can be seen however for the square wave it does not work properly; why is there a charging and discharging pattern. P.S: tried decoupling Vocm to GND as recomended in the data sheet still the same.
