		<description><![CDATA[A differential amplifier frequent use is the amplification of the voltage difference between its input signals, while rejecting the common-mode level.  However, the output common-mode level cannot be zero.  The operational amplifier technological limitations, as well as the outside resistor tolerances let the common-mode voltage to make it to the amplifier output as an output error.  As a consequence, the amplifier output voltage is the input signal difference times gain, plus the output common-mode voltage.

Based on the resistor tolerances, this calculator will show the output common-mode voltage, Vocm, and the total voltage, Vout, at the differential amplifier output.  Vocm will alter the ideal output voltage, which can be calculated when the resistors are perfectly matched.

		<description><![CDATA[Since the publication of Design a Bipolar to Unipolar Converter to Drive an ADC, several readers contacted me with requests to help in solving their particular converter. The common problem they had was the fact that the components’ calculation resulted in a negative value for at least one resistor.

To provide a solution, first we need to understand the root cause of the problem. Let’s take one of the circuits I received and analyze it.

The reader wrote that he would like to drive an ADC with the input range of 0 to 2.5V from a signal with the range of –5V to +5V, connected at V1.

You can input the voltage range, output range, a reference voltage and a choice of two resistors.  The calculator gives you the answer for the remaining resistors. Also, this article explains the mathematical steps towards building the calculator.

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who have Mathcad, designing a differential amplifier is really easy.

Let’s say you need to design a unipolar to bipolar converter and you decide to use a differential amplifier for this task. You know the input and output voltage range and you need to calculate the resistors based on a voltage reference you have in the system. All you have to do is to create a Mathcad file for a quick response. Then store it some place for future designs.

		<description><![CDATA[Unipolar to bipolar converters are useful when we have to have a unipolar component to do a certain job in a mixed signal design environment.  For example, Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) may have the output voltage range 0 to 2.5 V, or 0 to 5 V, while the design asks for a range of –5 V to +5 V.  To comply with this requirement, we have to design a unipolar to bipolar converter which will be inserted between the DAC output and the following bipolar stage.

		<description><![CDATA[In this article I will show a method to deduce the input and output resistance of the common collector amplifier.  The common-collector amplifier is a well known circuit (see Figure 1).  It is mostly used as a buffer due to its high input resistance, small output resistance and unity gain buffer.  The equations derived in this article are symbolic, as is the derivation of any other formula in this website.  Still, even if the resistances’ values are not numeric, the equations are intuitive enough to show the high input low output resistance property of the amplifier.

		<description><![CDATA[How to Apply Thevenin’s Theorem for Solving Circuits with Dependent Sources.

Besides its use to simplify and calculate currents in electrical circuits, Thevenin’s Theorem is also a great tool that we can use to derive transfer functions. This article will illustrate how to derive the small signal transfer function of the Common-Collector Amplifier with bipolar junction transistors (BJTs).

The circuit is shown in Figure 1. It is also called a repeater, so we expect that the calculated transfer function to be close to unity gain.
