Abstract

A difference amplifier, the construction of which includes operational amplifier, has an extended amplitude range of common mode signal. The input of the circuit which is applied to the inversion input of the operating amplifier is applied to the latter through an attenuation network. An adjustment of the other resistor values in the circuit is made to appropriately retain the desirable characteristics of keeping common mode rejection.
