ADS1298: Input Common Mode Range

Part Number: ADS1298

Along those same lines, I don't understand the input common-mode range equation.  

Why is the gain in the formula if it's the input common mode? 

Thank you.

  • Hi Colleen,

    The limit comes from the maximum output swing of each amplifier used in the PGA. The usable output range is only to within 200 mV of the supply. If the common-mode were too close to the rails, the output would have no room to swing in one direction.
