Questions tagged [differential]

Differential refers to any kind of signaling where the signal information is carried by two or more paths and both are required to properly reconstruct the signal. For example, USB D+ and D-

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 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 ...
