The static voltage range at the input pins is limited to + 6 / - 7 V to guarantee accurate linear operation of the input circuitry. Taking into account the proposed DC voltage divider ratio, this translates to a static common- mode (CMR) range of + 72 / - 84 V. CMR is increased even further for high-frequency common-mode voltages ("ringing"). Then the maximum input voltage ratings ( ± 10 V) together with the frequency-dependence of the voltage-divider ratio result in an extended dynamic CMR as high as ± 150 V. The second limitation results from the fact that any imbalance in the signal path converts a common-mode to a differential signal. To utilize the full CMR as calculated above, the high accuracy of the trimmed on-chip network must not be affected by the external voltage divider resistors. This condition is easily fulfilled when choosing Rin1 and Rin2 with 0.1% tolerance; resistors with only 1% accuracy, however, would reduce the common-mode range significantly to ± 40 V. 3.2Driver outputs The rail-to-rail driver output stage realized with complementary MOS transistors is able to provide a typical 4 A sourcing and 8 A sinking current. The low on-resistance coming together with high driving current is particularly beneficial for fast switching of very large MOSFETs. With a Ron of 0.85 Ω for the sourcing pMOS and 0.35 Ω for the sinking nMOS transistor the driver can in most applications be considered to behave like an ideal switch. The p-channel sourcing transistor allows real rail-to-rail behavior without suffering from the source-follower’s voltage drop typical for n-channel output stages. In case of floating inputs or insufficient supply voltage the driver output is actively clamped to the “low” level (GND). 3.3Supply voltage and Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The Undervoltage Lockout function ensures that the output can be switched only, if the supply voltage VDD exceeds the UVLO threshold voltage. Thus it can be guaranteed that the switch transistor is not operated with a driving voltage too low to achieve a complete and fast transition to the "on" state; this avoids excessive power dissipation (see Table 3 ).
