TLV9062: TLV9062 Differential Amplifier Gain Spikes Near Negative Rail (GND) in 5V Single Supply

Part Number: TLV9062

Hi TI Experts,

I'm using the TLV9062 to build a difference amplifier with a designed gain of 5.1 V/V.

Setup:

  • V+: 5V

  • V-: GND (Single Supply)

  • Topology: Standard 4-resistor difference amplifier.

  • Input Signal: 1kHz Sine wave.

Issue Description:
During testing, I noticed that the gain spikes significantly when the input signal approaches the negative rail (GND).

Measurement Screenshot Observation:

  • CH4 (Green): Input signal from function generator.

  • CH1 (Blue): Output of the TLV9062.

  • Math Trace (Dark Green): Calculated Gain (CH1 / CH4).

As shown in the attached waveform (screenshot attached), at the valley of the sine wave (approx 40mV input), the measured gain jumps to around 9 V/V, even though the design target is 5.1 V/V.

Question:
I know TLV9062 is a RRIO device, but is there a specific mechanism causing this gain increase so close to the GND rail?
Is this related to:

  • Transconductance (Gm) degradation near the rail?

  • Common-Mode Voltage limitations or phase reversal?

  • Output stage saturation causing loop gain collapse?

Any insights into the internal behavior causing this specific "gain increase" near the negative rail would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
