    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for amplifying signals with an amplification circuit and improving a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) thereof. The amplification circuit generally includes a differential amplifier comprising a first pair of transistors and a second pair of transistors coupled to the first pair of transistors, where the gates of the first pair of transistors are coupled to respective differential input nodes. The amplification circuit also includes an auxiliary amplifier comprising a third pair of transistors corresponding to the first pair of transistors and a fourth pair of transistors corresponding to the second pair of transistors, where drains of the third and fourth pairs of transistors are coupled together and to gates of the second pair of transistors and where gates of the fourth pair of transistors are coupled together.
