Input common mode in differential amplifier (Read 1902 times)

giri_lp New Member Offline Posts: 1 Bangalore	Input common mode in differential amplifier Aug 13^th, 2009, 6:21am How do we have to understand the Vin CM in a differential amplifier? Is that the offset from 0 or it is DC CM or AC CM of the signal? Please explain this.

Thanks, Rajasekhar.

It is the in phase part of the 2 input signals either it is DC or AC. Normally it should be a DC signal in order to keep the operating points of the devices at a fixed point but it can contain also an AC component which has to be attenuated by the amplifier itself. The ability of attenuating the AC common mode signal at the inputs is the CMRR of the differential amplifier.
