Abstract
A single-ended to differential converter including a common mode shunt and a load element. The common mode shunt includes first and second reactive elements each having first ends coupled together at a common mode junction. The second end of the first reactive element receives a single-ended input signal referenced to a reference signal, such as ground. The common mode shunt further includes a third reactive element coupled between the common mode junction and ground. The load element is coupled between the second end of the second reactive element and ground. A single-ended input signal is applied at a second end of the first reactive element and the differential signal is developed by the first and second reactive elements. The common mode shunt serves as a differential to single-ended converter by applying the differential signal as an input in which a single-ended output signal develops at the load element.
