8.1.3 Discrete Difference Amplifier

The RES21A-Q1 is commonly used to implement a simple difference amplifier. The ratiometric matching between the two resistor dividers improves CMRR performance and gain drift for the circuit, when compared to a similar implementation using unmatched discrete resistors. The basic circuit is shown in Figure 8-6.

Equation 37. V OUT = V IN+ − V IN− × R G R I N + V REF
