Table 5 switched between transmit mode and high output impedance provides a guideline for the selection of feedback resistor values receive mode. The ADA4312-1 is equipped with a shutdown pin used in typical differential line driver circuits (refer to Figure 17).

Conversely, point (V a feedback resistor that exceeds the values in Table 5 can limit MID). To establish VMID, use two 10 kΩ resistors to form a resistor divider from V the closed-loop bandwidth.
