7.4.2.3 Range 3: VCM is greater than VS

The maximum voltage at the RG pin is Vout_max, it means that:

Equation 6. VOUT = VSENSE × RGAIN / RIN ≤ Vout_max

where

  • Vout_max is the maximum allowable output voltage according to the Electrical Tables

So all the RGAIN resistors which respect the previous inequality are allowed. The graphical representation in Figure 7-5 helps with the selection.

All the combinations (VSENSE, RGAIN) below the curves are allowed.

GUID-7FD02FEB-F9F8-4428-9EC2-FD1D1C281485-low.gifFigure 7-5 Allowed Gains for Range 3

Also in this range once selected the RGAIN (Gain) the VSENSE range is fixed too.

From the ranges shown above, a good way to maximize the output voltage swing of the LMP8645 is to select the maximum allowable RGAIN according to the previous equations. For a fixed supply voltage and VSENSE as the common-mode voltage increases, the maximum allowable RGAIN increases too.
