My ADC only requires a single-ended input, but the ADA4255 has differential outputs. Can I just take one output of the ADA4255 and provide it to the ADC?

Question

I am using ADA4255 as a current sensing amplifier since it can measure small differential signals over a very wide common-mode input range.

The ADA4255 can be used in this manner, but you will now be impacted more by the common-mode noise and offsets of the amplifier. This is generally true for fully differential amplifiers such as LTC6363 and ADA4945-1 and these common-mode characteristics are usually specified separately.
