6.3.1 Common-Mode Buffer

The THS6232 is a differential line driver that features an integrated common-mode buffer. Figure 7-2 shows an ac-coupled application, one of the most-common line-driving applications for the THS6232. Therefore, common-mode shift the inputs so that the input signals are within the common-mode specifications of the device. To maximize the dynamic range, the common-mode voltage is shifted to midsupply in most ac-coupled applications. With the integrated common-mode buffer, no external components are required to shift the input common-mode voltage.
