HE REALISATION OF COMMON MODE INPUTS
A high Common Mode Rejection Ratio can be created by the use of the either the AUX_GND or the CD_GND pin. One
of these pins can be connected via the switches s10 and s11 (see Fig. 5) to the plus input of the second opamp in the
signal path of TAPE, CD or AM. The signal of which a high common mode rejection ratio is required has one signal (or
two signals) and a common signal as input. The common signal is connected to either the AUX_GND or CD_GND input
and for the specific mode selected with the switches 10 and 11. This means that on both signal lines going to the SCAD
will contain the common mode signal. The AD’s itself will suppress this common mode signal very effectively and this is
the way good common mode signal suppression is achieved. The switches needed are drawn in the appropriate position.
The inputs CD_LI and CD_RI get in this example a diminished input signal by the external resistor tap of 8k2 and 10k.
The 10k resistors provides together with the 1 M resistor from CD_GND to VREFAD also the biasing of the opamps OA1
and OA2. If no external resistor tap is needed still resistors will be needed between the signal inputs and the CD_GND
pin. The CD_GND pin is in this configuration connected to the plus input of the opamps OA3 and OA4. Biasing of the
opamps OA3 and OA4 is again provided by the 1 M resistor to VREFAD. In this construction the common mode signals
on CD_LI / CD_RI and the CD_GND pin will be unchanged in amplitude being present at the AD input and the common
mode rejection behaviour of these AD will provide a good common mode rejection ratio. The other common mode input
AUX_GND can in the same way be used.
