output impedance of Vcm

Thread Summary

The user asked about the output impedance of Vcm0 for the AD3551R when used with a fully differential amplifier ADA4945. The final answer indicates that the output impedance of Vcm0 is not specified in the datasheet, but suggests using the evaluation board schematic from the EVAL-AD3552R user guide, which includes a provision for a 0.1uF capacitor for Vcmx in more demanding applications. The user also referenced a technical article on using differential I/O amplifiers in single-ended applications, which provided a useful configuration.

  I was wondering if you could tell me the effective output impedance of Vcm0 (the Common-Mode Voltage for DAC0 External TIA)?  The data sheet states that the output impedance of the reference output is quite low (50 mOhms) but I did not find any mention of the output impedance of Vcm0.

  I am asking because I am using the AD3551R with a fully differential (input/output) amplifier ADA4945, and I initially included a feedback RC on the +FB (to the Vcm0, connected to IN-); I think this was a mistake, but I thought that it should not matter if Vcm0 had a low output impedance.  I tried to simulate the setup, but I needed to include about a 10 kOhm ouput impedance for Vcm0 to match measurements.  (specifically, with a 3.2 kOhm / 220 pF feedback, I was seeing a 2.4 V differential dc offset).

  (I am now doing something very similar to figure 3 of https://www.analog.com/en/resources/technical-articles/using-a-differential-io-amplifier-in-single-ended-applications.html , which seems to work as expected.)

Thank you for your help,

Nathan
