Hi,
I have questions regarding the LMH7220.
- Can the GND pin be connected to a -12V supply?
- What will the output be referenced to?
- Can the negative input be driven with a bipolar input?
Thanks!
Lauren

Lauren,
1. Can the GND pin be connected to a -12V supply?
As long as you do not violate the absolute maximum ratings for the device (VCC - GND <= 13.5V) and operate the device in accordance to the operating ratings (2.7V-13V), then the GND pin can be connected to a -12V supply.
2. What will the output be referenced to?
The output will be referenced to GND of the device.
3. Can the negative input be driven with a bipolar input?
By negative input I assume you mean the inverting pin of the device. The absolute max rating of the device can tolerate GND - 0.2V - VCC +0.2 volts on its inputs. However the input range of the device for it to operate properly is GND - 0.2V - VCC - 2V.
