The designs so far have included a source impedance (RS) that must be matched by RT and RG1. The total impedance with respect to the input at RG1 for the circuit of Figure 60 is the parallel combination of RT to ground and ZA (active impedance) presented by the amplifier input at RG1. That expression (assuming RG2 is set to obtain a differential divider balance) is shown in Equation 7:
For designs that do not require impedance matching (but instead come from the low-impedance output of another amplifier, for instance), RG1 = RG2 is the single-to-differential design used without RT to ground. Setting RG1 = RG2 = RG in Equation 7 shows the input impedance of a simple input FDA driving from a low-impedance, single-ended source to a differential output.
