Function generator cannot generate differential voltage?
I am using the AD620 as instrumentation amplifier to amplify the body's ECG signal. An ECG is a differential signal (measured with two electrodes) and I want a differential gain of \$G_d = 1000\$.
The ...

differential measurement vs ground
I am looking to measure an incoming V vs ground with an ADC (MCP3424 or equal). The Vin vs Gnd can be anywhere from -1.5V to +2.0VDC. I looked at using an op amp with level shift, when I came across ...

Why am I seeing a signal on a shorted differential probe?
I am chasing the cause of some weird microcontroller resetting behaviour in a prototype robot. As part of the debugging, I decided to look at the stability of the power supply for the MCU.
I soldered ...

How to calculate a differential + common mode LPF circuit?
I'm trying to validate my understanding of a differential + common mode LPF circuit using the AK4499EX datasheet (019001308-E-00 2022/07 version, p. 47). It presents the following circuit:
and its ...

How do non-flowing common mode or bias currents cause common mode range to exceed/float?
Below is a very simplistic view of differential ended inputs of a data-acquisition channel's inAmp which measures a floating battery voltage V. To make concepts and explanations simpler I use two ...

Display port eye diagram evaluation
I was testing my display port diagram, all 4 lines.
The first three look good, the 4th line looks like it has only one signal (not differential.)
My question:
Is the 4th line okey to be like this. (...

How to find the differential equation of the current i₁?
I am trying to find the differential equation of this circuit:
I tried to use KVL at the left mesh which gave me
\$E=R\cdot i+V_c\$
From \$V_c\$ I can calculate \$i_1\$, but then I didn't know how to ...

Which is preferred over differential pairs: trombones or sawtooths?
I have been told that trombones are much better to use than sawtooths, even if sawtooths may be prefered in some certians scenarios.
Here I have added trombones to the differential pairs. If I had ...
