Maximum Gain
The maximum gain for a known differential voltage and common
mode voltage can easily be determined using the following set of equations.
Equation 5 calculates the maximum gain based on the positive internal rail
of the amplifier. Equation 6 gives the maximum gain based on the negative
internal rail of the amplifier. Equation 7 calculates the maximum gain
without overflowing the output range of the SDAIBB. The smallest
maximum gain value calculated using these equations is the maximum gain
that may be used.
G is the gain, V
cm
is the common mode voltage, and V
diff
is the
differential voltage.
