  • Page 31: Reference Information

    Operator’s Manual Reference Information Differential Mode and Common Mode Differential amplifiers amplify the voltage difference that appears between the + input and – input. This voltage is referred to as the Differential Mode or Normal Mode voltage. The voltage component that is referenced to earth and is identical on both inputs is rejected by the amplifier.

  • Page 32: Certifications

    ADP30x Probe The first order term that determines the CMRR is the relative gain matching between the + and – input paths. To obtain high CMRR values, the input attenuators in a differential amplifier are precisely matched to each other. This matching includes the DC attenuation as well as the capacitance that determines the AC attenuation.
