Abstract

A common mode feedback (CMFB) loop for a differential amplifier sense an output common mode of a differential circuit and provides feedback to the gates of tail current transistors. Many CMFB loops cannot easily adjust the output common mode voltage and the output common mode may vary over process, voltage, and temperature. An improved CMFB circuit adds a control circuit to control backgates of tail current transistor device(s) of the differential circuit such that the output common mode voltage can be made adjustable.
