Example:3 A certain diff-amp has a differential voltage gain of 2000 and a common-mode gain of
0.2. Determine the CMRR and express it in decibels.
Example:4 Determine the CMRR and express it in decibels for an amplifier with a differential
voltage gain of 8500 and a common-mode gain of 0.25
Therefore, substituting the known values in voltage gain equation (E-2), we obtain

a. Determine the output voltage (vo) if vin 1 = 50mV peak to peak (pp) at 1 kHz and
vin 2 = 20 mV pp at 1 kHz.
b. What is the maximum peal to peak output voltage without clipping?
Solution:
(a) In Example-1 we have determined the voltage gain of the dual input, balanced output
differential amplifier. Substituting this voltage gain (A d = 86.96) and given values of input
voltages in (E-1), we get
(b) Note that in case of dual input, balanced output difference amplifier, the output voltage v o is
measured across the collector. Therefore, to calculate the maximum peak to peak output voltage,
we need to determine the voltage drop across each collector resistor:
The ability of a differential amplifier to reject a common mode signal is expressed by its
common mode rejection ratio (CMRR). It is the ratio of differential gain Ad to the
common mode gain AC.
