Differential amplifier, calculation of differential and common gain

Maybe someone can help and knows how to calculate the differential gain and common-mode gain in a differential amplifier. Will the formula for differential gain be Ad=Rc/2Re, i.e. in my case 50/40=1....

Problem with op amp output hitting bottom rail on output stage for DIY 3D printed strain gauge. High gain is needed

So the goal is to take our differential input from our experimental full bridge strain gauge and amplify the signal to a gain of roughly 5500. The output signal would then be going into a 12-bit ADC ...

How to make sense of the math behind differential opamp

My first question here! So, I'm designing a simple fully differential amplifier. The final target will be to implement a low pass filter (but I'm not there yet). Although all seems perfectly fine in ...

Converting differential-current output to single-ended voltage; adjustable gain

I want to convert differential-current output of DAC2902 to single-ended voltage. Can I do it with following differential op-amp configuration at the output of the DAC? The voltage gain is fixed = 1 ...

Open-loop frequency response for an op-amp

I want to know what is the ideal circuit to measure open-loop frequency response and why?I have seen the typical open-loop frequency response curve for an op-amp a lot of times. But when I try to plot ...

"Coupling" gain-setting resistors in a single-ended source, differential amplifier?

I am working on a fully differential amplifier design that receives a single-ended differential voltage from a piezo sensor. I computed a theoretical gain and selected appropriate resistors and it ...

Gain of single input differential amplifier

When performing the small signal analysis of the circuit shown below, with \$ V_{1} = V_{in} \$ and \$ V_{2} = 0 \$, and output taken from \$ V_{02}\$, I consider the small signal model for half of ...

Op amp output voltage swing vs noise

Staying within an op amp's specified output voltage range, how does a difference in output swing affect the op amp's noise applied to the output signal? Obviously by increasing gain, we amplify the op ...

BJT differential amplifier: What causes common mode voltage gain?

In any normal op amp, if it was ideal it would have a gain such that the output voltage would be However in reality this is not the case as there is a common mode voltage gain and hence in reality ...

Differential gain of an op-amp and feedback

In an op-amp, we know from basic electronic courses that vo = A(v1 - v2) Assuming large differential gain and finite output, we get that (v1-v2) is very very small, ideally zero. In a university ...

Why am I getting no gain from this differential circuit?

I am having difficulty understanding why I am getting unity gain from the circuit below. Before I added the common emitter stage, there was a gain of around 150, and I wanted to add another 10 X gain ...
