CMRR dB

Compute the common-mode rejection ratio in decibels as 20 x log10(differential gain / common mode gain).

Description

Compute the common-mode rejection ratio in decibels as 20 x log10(differential gain / common mode gain).

CMRR dB: Compute the common-mode rejection ratio in decibels as 20 x log10(differential gain / common mode gain).

When to use CMRR dB

Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Differential gain
Required number input.
Common mode gain
Required number input.

How CMRR dB works

Compute the common-mode rejection ratio in decibels as 20 x log10(differential gain / common mode gain). The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

CMRR (dB)
The resulting cmrr returned as a number.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Amplifier gain and rejection calculations are small-signal approximations unless the operating point is checked. Gain-bandwidth, slew rate, input and output range, stability, noise, offset, bias current, loading, and frequency-dependent CMRR can limit the result.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
