    摘要: The circuit comprises a differential amplifier with two inputs and two outputs and a common mode regulation circuit. Between a regulation terminal of the amplifier and the outputs there are connected first and second capacitors and first and second capacitive elements that by controlled switches are connected in parallel with, respectively, the first and second capacitors or alternately between first and second reference voltage terminals. The common mode output voltage is not exactly fixed at the beginning of the design, but is determined by attributing appropriate values to the first and second capacitive elements; more particularly, their capacitances C3 and C4 are chosen in such a way as to satisfy the following equality: Vcmn=Vrefl+[(Vrefp−Vrefm)/2]*(C4−C3)/(C3+C4), where Vcmn is the desired common mode output voltage, Vrefp and Vrefm are the differential output voltages and Vrefl is the voltage of the second reference terminal.
