data transmission. The AD8129 and AD8130 are differential-
to-single-ended amplifiers with extremely high CMRR at high
frequency. Therefore, they can also be effectively used as
high-speed instrumentation amps or for converting differential
signals to single-ended signals.

User-Adjustable Gain
The AD8129 is a low-noise high-gain (10 or greater) version
intended for applications over very long cables where signal
attenuation is significant. The AD8130 is stable at a gain of one
and can be used for those applications where lower gains are
required. Both have user adjustable gain to help compensate for
losses in the transmission line. The gain is set by the ratio of
two resistor values. The AD8129 and AD8130 have very high
input impedance on both inputs regardless of the gain setting.

The AD8129 and AD8130 have excellent common-mode rejec-
tion (70 dB @ 10 MHz) allowing the use of low cost unshielded
twisted-pair cables without fear of corruption by external noise
sources or crosstalk.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8129 and AD8130 are designed as receivers for the
transmission of high-speed signals over twisted-pair cables to
work with the AD8131 or AD8132 drivers. Either can be
used for analog or digital video signals and for high-speed
The AD8129 and AD8130 have a wide power supply range
from single 5 V supply to 12 V, allowing wide common-mode
and differential-mode voltage ranges while maintaining signal
integrity. The wide common-mode voltage range will enable
the driver receiver pair to operate without isolation transform-
ers in many systems where the ground potential difference
between drive and receive locations is many volts. The AD8129
and AD8130 have considerable cost and performance improve-
ments over op amps and other multi-amplifier receiving solutions.
