SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the common-mode gain and common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of a differential amplifier with a differential gain (Ad) of 20,000. When a 1V signal is applied to the input terminals connected together, the output signal is 0.05V. The common-mode gain (Acm) is derived from the relationship V0 = Ad*Vd + Acm*Vcm, leading to the conclusion that Vd is 0V and Vcm is 0.5V, confirming the calculations for Acm and CMRR.
