GATE Electrical – Analog Electronics

Practice Problems – Page 8

This section contains problems based on Differential Amplifier and Common Mode Analysis.


Problem 71

Question:

Define differential amplifier.

Answer:

A differential amplifier amplifies the difference between two input signals.


Problem 72

Question:

Write the formula for differential input voltage.

Answer:

Vd = V1 − V2


Problem 73

Question:

What is common mode input voltage?

Answer:

Vc = (V1 + V2) / 2


Problem 74

Question:

Define CMRR.

Answer:

CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) is the ratio of differential gain to common mode gain.

CMRR = Ad / Ac


Problem 75

Question:

If differential gain Ad = 200 and common mode gain Ac = 0.5, calculate CMRR.

Solution:

CMRR = Ad / Ac

CMRR = 200 / 0.5

CMRR = 400


Problem 76

Question:

Express CMRR in decibels if CMRR = 400.

Solution:

CMRR(dB) = 20 log10 (CMRR)

CMRR(dB) = 20 log10 (400)

≈ 52 dB


Problem 77

Question:

Why is high CMRR desirable in amplifiers?

Answer:

It rejects noise and interference present in common mode signals.


Problem 78

Question:

Which circuit forms the basic stage of operational amplifier?

Answer:

Differential Amplifier


Problem 79

Question:

What is the ideal value of common mode gain?

Answer:

Zero


Problem 80

Question:

What is the ideal value of CMRR?

Answer:

Infinite
