ages Occur Due to Ground Current Returns. VSIGNAL and
ECM Must Be Within the Common-Mode Range of AMP03.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The AMP03 represents a versatile analog building block. In
order to capitalize on fast settling time, high slew rate and high
CMR, proper decoupling and grounding techniques must be
employed. Figure 20 illustrates the use of 0.1 µF decoupling
capacitors and proper ground connections.
MAINTAINING COMMON-MODE REJECTION
In order to achieve the full common-mode rejection capability
of the AMP03, the source impedance must be carefully con-
trolled. Slight imbalances of the source resistance will result in a
degradation of DC CMR—even a 5 Ω imbalance will degrade
CMR by 20 dB. Also, the matching of the reactive source im-
pedance must be matched in order to preserve the CMRR over
frequency.
