ABSTRACT:
A fully differential sensing apparatus and an input common mode feedback circuit are provided. The input common mode feedback circuit includes a common mode error amplifier and a plurality of adaptive conductance elements. Each adaptive conductance element behaves with a low impedance characteristic when its anode voltage is greater than its cathode voltage by a positive threshold voltage or, on the contrary, when the anode voltage of such an adaptive conductance element is lower than its cathode voltage by a negative threshold voltage, the adaptive element also behaves with a low impedance characteristic; otherwise the aforementioned adaptive conductance element behaves with a high impedance characteristic. The common mode error amplifier and a plurality of such adaptive conductance elements form a negative feedback loop to effectively maintain the input common voltage of a fully differential input amplifier, which can be used for a fully differential sensing apparatus.
