Abstract
This application describes a system for minimizing the common mode voltage drift at the input of a fully differential amplifier. An impedance component is coupled to the inputs and outputs of the differential amplifier. The impedance component optimizes the common mode resistance or impedance to ground without significantly affecting the differential impedance, matches the input common mode voltage to the output common mode voltage and reduces the input common mode voltage drift in presence of leakage currents.
