28.5.1 Voltage Shifting for a Positive Input Voltage

To shift a positive input voltage, a single CBG source is used. The source is used to generate a negative voltage to offset the input signal. Figure 28-4, Equation 28-3 and Single-Ended Positive Voltage Shift with 50 µA Selection show the calculations and configuration for this application.

Figure 28-4. Single-Ended Positive Voltage Shift
Equation 28-3. VSHIFT Calculations

VINMIN = – 24V – (3V/2) = – 25.5V

VINMAX = – 24V + (3V/2) = – 22.5V

VSHIFT = |VINMIN|

RSHIFT = 25.5V/50 μA = 510 kOhm

Shift with standard value resistor is 511k × 50 μA = 25.55V

Input range = (VINMAX – VSHIFT) - (VINMIN – VSHIFT), (49.5V – 46.5V) - (46.5V – 46.5V) = 3V
