Best Answer

The input stage of an op amp is usually a differential amplifier; this is due to the qualities that are desirable in an op amp that match qualities in a differential amplifier: common noise rejection ratio; low input impedance, high output impedance, etc.

The use of differential amplifiers in op-amps is to increase the input range and to eliminate common entries like noise.

Why the peak value in double ended differential amplifier is double the peak value of single ended differential amplifier for the same input signal?

The peak output value in a double ended differential amplifier is double the peak output value of a single ended differential amplifier for the same input signal because there are two outputs, one being the normal output, and the other being the inverted output. Whatever the normal output does, the inverted output does, but with a reverse sign. As a result, if one output has a value of X, then then other output has a value of -X. If you compare the two outputs, then, the difference between them will be 2X, or double the value.


Why high CMRR is preferred?

You want an amplifier to reject common mode signals (the same signal applied to both inputs of a differential amplifier) because:it is generally noise, which sounds like staticit can cause drift in the amplifier eventually saturating it, causing clipping distortionBTW, single ended input amplifiers by definition have a CMRR of zero.


Find an expression for double ended differential amplifier gain?

from codi@humanoid.netdouble ended differential gain, also know as differential gain:Ad = (Vo2 - Vo1) / Vid = gm*Rd


Difference between single ended scsi and differential scsi?

single ended scsi is a method of transmitting electrical signals over wires. one wire carries a varying voltage that represent a signal, while other wire is connected to a ground. single emded scsi cables are of 6m-1.3m long. Differential scsi is a method of transmitting information electrically by means of 2 complementary signal pairs sent on 2 separate wires.


How does an op-amp differ from other amplifier suchas common emitter transistor amplifier?

A: They both use transistors. In actuality before an op amp becomes an op amp a discrete transistor made is made to provide it capabilities before it gets integrated into a substrate chip we call op amp. OP AMP have two input to work as a differential amplifier the input are bases closely match to provide virtual no voltage or current offset. Single ended amplifier has one input its reference is the signal source return.


What are the two types of SCSI buses use in signaling methods?

1) Single-Ended signaling 2) Differential Signaling


What are the disadvantages of differential amplifier?

A:from a single ended none main concern is offset voltages and current offset and for some latch-up Further explanation: A differential amplifier is actually a very advanced (and good!) amplifier - it (at a minimum) consists of two transistors and biasing schemes, and in a basic form has two inputs and two outputs - one output is inverting, the other is non inverting, thus the two outputs can be used together to provide a 3dB (2 x) gain over using a single output. From a signal to noise ratio, a differential amplifier is also a cut above if implemented correctly and designed well. For the best results, a positive and negative signal should be transmitted to the amplifier. One goes to either input of the amplifier, with the other to the other input. Noise inherently will be added onto both of these lines, but the noise will tend to be in the same direction for both. A differential amplifier has a high "common mode rejection", which means if the same voltage is applied to both inputs, the output will not change (it only amplifies the difference between the inputs). This is why sound boards and a lot of other A/V equipment use differential amplifiers. If these features are not important for your design, then the added complexity of circuitry (usually requiring a positive and negative voltage, multiple transistors, etc.) becomes a disadvantage. Also, if you are just starting out, designing one well may be a bit over your head (a clear disadvantage when you don't know what's going on in the circuit - it becomes very difficult to trouble shoot).


Why op-amp symbol is a triangle?

Because that is the accepted convention. The triangle is the symbol for an amplifier, be it a differential amplifier with two inputs, such as an op-amp, or be it single ended, such as a simple transistor. The triangle symbol is used to show a block diagram of something that might have multiple things inside it, which the op-amp does. It is not generally used to represent a simple transistor, unless you were showing a block diagram. The triangle symbol is also used in digital logic diagrams, to indicate buffers (again, amplifiers), or inverters.


Are all SCSI devices compatible with all SCSI ports?

No There are 2 electrical alternatives single ended SE and differential types. VD These cannot be used on the same bus. However a third type low voltage differential LVD can be if the interface card supports it


What is lm324 IC?

The LM324 is a quad operational amplifier (op-amp) integrated circuit (IC). It consists of four independent op-amps in a single package. It is commonly used in a wide range of electronic circuits, such as amplifiers, filters, oscillators, and comparators. The LM324 is known for its low cost, low power consumption, and versatility.


Why sepic called single ended converter?

Single ended is referred to converters with single switch topology. SEPIC has only one switch and hence named Single ended primary inductor converter. (Primary inductor because the inductor is charged during ON cycle of the switch) For example, There are double ended flyback topologies with two switches. It is named as double ended because it contains two switches.


Can you mix single-ended and differential devices on a SCSI subsystem Why or why not?

when differential signaling was first introduced you could not mix se and hvd devices because of the high voltage used in the hvd. since then a new signaling called lvd is used and it will allow you to use a se if you use the lvd/se mode.( p.1008 managing and maintaining your PC 5th edition)
