Solving the Differential Amplifier – Part 2

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Summary:

But the resistors’ calculation becomes a bit of a challenge, when one might be faced with designing a differential amplifier with a certain transfer function. The example I took in the first article was as follows: Given an input range of, -0.5V to 5.5V, the output has to swing between, -1.25V and +2.365V. I solved the problem by using the amplifier transfer function and a system of equations.

In this article I am going to write about designing the resistors of this differential amplifier using the method of coefficients identification.

Starting from the differential amplifier transfer function …

Solving the Differential Amplifier – Part 1

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Summary:

Design a Differential Amplifier based on the Input and Output Range Requirements.
What is the common usage of the differential amplifier? The circuit is used to amplify the difference between the input signals. However, there are times when the electronics designer is faced with the following problem: Given an input range of, say, -0.5V to 5.5V, the output has to swing between, say -1.25V and +2.365V. It is clear that this requires an amplifier with a certain gain and an offset different than zero. How can we design the differential amplifier to achieve such a function?
