4. Vcm Input and Output Swing Vcm Range Vout Output Swing

5. Vcm – Two Examples Vcm = 0V Vcm = 5V

6. Input Stage V BE V SAT Output Stage

7. Translating the Data Sheet -2.6V< Vcm < 1.0V -2.95< Vout < 2.95V -2.6V< Vcm < 1.0V ParameterConditionsMinTypMaxUnit Input Voltage Range Common-Mode Voltage Range V CM (V-) – 0.1V(V+)-1.5V Output Voltage Output VoutRL = 10kΩ2050mV

8. Vcm or Output Swing Problem? Remember -2.95V<Vout<2.95V -2.6V<Vcm<1.0V What is the common-mode voltage? This is a Vcm violation! Vcm=Vin!

19. Vcm or Output Swing Problem? For OPA277 -2.0V<Vout<1.3V (RL=10k) -0.5V<Vcm<0.5V What is the common-mode voltage? We can’t violate Vcm in this configuration! Vcm=0V! Output Swing Violation!
