CommonModeBereich
CommonModeBereich is a German term that translates to "common mode range" in English. It is a concept primarily used in the context of electrical engineering and analog circuit design, particularly when dealing with operational amplifiers (op-amps) and other differential input devices. The common mode range refers to the permissible range of voltages that can be applied to both input terminals of a differential amplifier simultaneously without causing it to malfunction or clip.
For an op-amp, the differential input voltage is the difference between its two input terminals, while the
Understanding and respecting the common mode range is crucial for designing stable and reliable analog circuits.
