NOTE: (1) R
CM
and R
G
are used to provide a first order correction of CMR
and Gain Error, respectively. Table 1 gives typical resistor values for R
CM
and R
G
when as many as three RCV420s are stacked. Table II gives
typical CMR and Gain Error with no correction. Further improvement in
CMR and Gain Error can be achieved using a 500kΩ potentiometer for
R
CM
and a 100Ω potentiometer for R
G
.
