Difference Amplifier

Figure 21 shows the schematic for the difference amplifier circuit configuration.

fig14_sbou162.pngFigure 21. Difference Amplifier Schematic

The difference amplifier utilizes both inverting and non-inverting inputs and produces an output that is equal to the difference between the inputs. The gain of the difference amplifier is dependent on the ratio of the resistor values selected.

Equation 15 displays the transfer function of the difference amplifier circuit configuration.

Equation 15. nneq15_sbou162.gif

If R1 = R4 and R2 = R3, Equation 15 can be simplified to Equation 16.

Equation 16. eq25_sbou162.gif

Capacitors C1 and C4 provide the option to filter the output of the amplifier. The cutoff frequency of the filter can be calculated using Equation 17.

Equation 17. neq30_sbou162.gif

    where

  • R1 = R4, R2 = R3, and C1 = C4
