Common Mode Voltage: Compute the common mode input voltage as the average of V+ and V-.

When to use Common Mode Voltage

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.

Non-inverting input (V)
Required number input.
Inverting input (V)
Required number input.

How Common Mode Voltage works

Compute the common mode input voltage as the average of V+ and V-. 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

Common mode voltage (V)
The resulting common mode voltage returned as a number.

Limitations and assumptions

  • EMI attenuation and protection calculations depend on source and load impedance, parasitics, layout, enclosure seams, cable coupling, frequency, pulse shape, and test standard. Component impedance curves alone do not demonstrate emissions, immunity, or ESD compliance.
  • 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.
