Discuss the Voltage Gains of DA

Answers


Wilfred
- The voltage gain of a DA operating in differential mode is called differential-mode voltage gain and is denoted by ADM. The voltage gain of DA operating in common-mode is called common-mode voltage gain and is denoted by ACM.
- Ideally, a DA provides a very high voltage gain for differential-mode signals and zero gain for common-mode signals. However, practically, differential amplifiers do exhibit a very small common- mode gain (usually much less than 1) while providing a high differential voltage gain (usually several
thousands). The higher the differential gain w.r.t. the common-mode gain, the better the performance of the DA in terms of rejection of common-mode signals.
- A differential amplifier should have high differential voltage gain (ADM) and very low common mode voltage gain (ACM). The ratio ADM/ACM is called common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) i.e.,
