Abstract
A fully-differential amplifier (FDA) includes a core differential amplifier and a common-mode input voltage control circuit. The core differential amplifier includes differential inputs. The common-mode input voltage control circuit is coupled to the differential inputs. The common-mode input voltage control circuit is configured to generate an error signal as a difference of an input common mode voltage at the differential inputs and a target common mode input voltage (VICM); and to adjust the input common mode voltage to the VICM based on the error signal.
