Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device to expand a common mode range of a differential amplifier. SOLUTION: A circuit includes a common mode detection circuit, a common mode voltage inversion circuit, and a differential amplifier. The common mode detection circuit receives a differential signal and detects a common mode voltage. The common mode voltage inversion circuit is coupled to the common mode detection circuit. The common mode voltage inversion circuit includes an input node to receive the common mode voltage and an output node to output a body voltage, and makes an inverse relation between the common mode voltage and the body voltage. The differential amplifier includes a pair of differences of transistors having a pair of body terminals coupled to the output node of the common mode voltage inversion circuit.
