EXAMPLE 6.4 Find the output voltage νo for a differential amplifier (Fig. 6.6) if the input voltages are ν1 = 9 V and ν2 = 9.02 V. Use R = 1 kΩ, RF = 120 kΩ, and a 741 op amp for which specifications are given as a CMRR of 90 dB and an open-loop gain of A = ...
A differential (or difference) amplifier is a two-input circuit that amplifies only the difference between its two inputs. An operational amplifier or op-amp (Figure 1) is an example of a difference amplifier. The formula that describes the behavior of the circuit is: Vout= A * (Vin+- V...
Today's op amps utilize differential topologies to a high degree, but the reader should understand that this wasn't universally so back in the days of vacuum tube amplifiers. In fact, vacuum tube op amp topologies that fully utilized differential techniques never really became well established bef...

Figure 1. A Simple Differential Amplifier This circuit amplifies the difference between input signals v1(t) and v2(t). It can be analysed using the Principle of Superposition by summing the contributions to vo(t) from v1(t) and v2(t) when acting independent of each other.Consider the ...
Let’s take a look at an example circuit simulated with falstad. Remember the Rules Last time I mentioned two made up rules that are good shortcuts for analyzing op amp circuits: The inputs of the op amp don’t connect to anything internally. The output mysteriously will do what it can...
For example, again using the +VS = 5 V example case, if VCM(HI) is 1 V, the upper VIN limit or positive CM maximum is +VS – VCM(HI), or 4 V. Figure 2 below illustrates by way of a hypothetical op amp's data how VCM(HI) could be specified, as shown in the upper curve....
pin of the op-amp. So opening one loop still leaves that one closed. As for measuring overshoot I'm concerned that since the overall circuit may not be second order that those assumptions don't hold. Is it really safe to only analyze the primary feedback loop on the final op-amp?
