Differential Amplifier
All operational amplifiers (op-amps) are differential amplifiers because of their input configuration. When the first voltage signal is connected to the input terminal and another voltage signal is connected onto the opposite input terminal then the resultant output voltage is proportional to the difference between the two input voltage signals of V1 and V2. The output voltage can be solved by connecting each i/p intern to 0v ground using a superposition theorem.
By connecting each input in turn to 0v ground we can use superposition to solve for the output voltage Vout. Then the transfer function for a Differential Amplifier circuit is given as:
