8.9. Amplifier Gain with Differential and Common-Mode Inputs

For inputs at either or both gates, there exists a common-mode and differential-mode voltage. These are, for applied voltages Vg1 and Vg2, common mode

Equation 8.48


and differential mode

Equation 8.49


Based on these definitions, the output, for example, Vd1, for a given set of inputs is

Equation 8.50


where avd1 and avcm are (8.23) and (8.26) (with RD1), respectively. For the output Vd2, avd2 is substituted for avd1. Vdm is a pure differential input and is not with respect to ground; the effect from the bias resistor is accounted for in the common-mode gain.

For the case of a single-ended input, for example, Vg1 = Vi and Vg2 = 0, the output is

Equation 8.51


This is identical to (8.20). The common-mode contribution can be significant, for example, in a resistance feedback amplifier (Unit 11). In this case, Vdm in (8.50) can be very small compared to Vcm.
