9.3.3.2 DC-Coupled, Differential-Input to Differential-Output Design Issues

Operating the LMH5401-SP with a dc-coupled input source simply requires that the input pins stay in range of the dc common-mode operating voltage. Only RG values that are equal to the differential input impedance and that set the correct RF values for the gain desired are required.
