Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
The Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) is a measure of how well a differential amplifier rejects common mode signals. It quantifies the ability of the amplifier to amplify the differential input signal while rejecting any common mode signal.
Given Information
- CMRR = 100 dB
- Output voltage for a differential input = 2V
Calculating Common Mode Gain
The common mode gain (ACM) is the ratio of the output voltage to the common mode input voltage. It is usually expressed in dB.
We know that CMRR = 20 log10 (ADM/ACM), where ADM is the differential mode gain.
Using the given CMRR value, we can rearrange the equation to find ACM.
CMRR = 20 log10 (ADM/ACM)
100 = 20 log10 (ADM/ACM)
5 = log10 (ADM/ACM)
ADM/ACM = 10^5
Since the common mode gain is usually very close to unity for an ideal differential amplifier, we can assume ACM to be 1.
ADM/1 = 10^5
ADM = 10^5
Converting to Linear Scale
The common mode gain (ACM) is usually expressed in dB. To find the common mode gain in linear scale, we need to convert it back from dB.
ADM = 10^(5/20)
ADM = 10^0.25
ADM = 1.78
Answer
The common mode gain (ACM) is approximately 1.78 in linear scale, which is equivalent to 0.1 dB. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.1 dB.
