Inventor: SCHNEIDER EDMUND M
IPC: H03F3/00
Filed: 2009-12-29
Abstract: An electronic system generates at least one floating supply voltage, wherein during operation of the circuit the floating supply voltage tracks a common mode voltage of first and second differential input signals. By tracking the common mode voltage, in at least one embodiment, the floating supply voltage adjusts as the common mode voltage changes. Thus, the floating supply voltages can be based upon the peak-to-peak values of the first and second output signals without factoring in the common mode voltage. In at least one embodiment, the electronic system provides the floating supply voltages to an amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the first and second differential input signals and generates differential output signals. A differential sampling circuit samples the differential output signals to cancel the common mode voltage from the differential output signals. In at least one embodiment, an analog-to-digital converter converts the sampled differential output signals into a digital output signal.
