C
S
performs an integration of the parabolic signal on C
L
, therefore the amount of S correction is set
by the combination of C
L
and C
s
.
4.3 Application with Differential-output Drivers
Certain driver ICs provide the ramp signal in differential form, as two current sources i
+
and i
-
with
opposite variations.
Let us set some definitions:
● i
cm
is the common-mode current:
● at peak of signal, i
+
=i
cm
+i
p
and i
-
=i
cm
-i
p
, therefore the peak differential signal is i
p
-(-
i
p
)=2i
p
, and the peak-peak differential signal, 4i
p
.
The application is described in Figure 7 with DC yoke coupling. The calculations still rely on the fact
that V
1
remains equal to V
7
.
