Exactly - and will the answer be Av=-2 as required ......Actually I should try this! lol

Yes - correct. However, as mentioned before, the method using diff. and common mode separately is more complicated. I always prefer (for opamp circuits) separate gain expressions in case of two variable input voltages.Hello LvW,
Ah! So we have two different methods for finding vout. One using superposition and the other using the common mode and diff gains and applying them to a gain formula as shown in WBahn blog.
Sorry - it is a "sloppy" name for the classical two-transistor differential amplifier. With a 3rd transistor as a current source in the common emitter path, this configuration has a common mode gain that can be neglected in most cases.A little confusing... whats a long tailed pair?
I've come 36 posts... and now I'm curious... so your guidance is welcome!
I'd probably rather state ........
vcm = 1/2*(Δv1 + Δv2)
........
You didn't let me down. You can only advance your understanding with further study and experimenting. Hopefully you will have success.Thanks for helping me t_n_k and sorry for letting you down....
Hi rougie, may I give you one recommendation?Nonetheless, all the basic research I have done on op amps
these past few days will allow me to experiment with doing
simple circuits like voltage followers, inverting & non inverting,
During your investigations of non-inverting amplifier configurations it might be interesting to find the bandwidth of the gain stage - in relation to the designed gain value. By doing this you will gain some new insights in "opamp secrets".Anyways, today I started with a simple non-inverting configuration and these op amps are so precise its unbelievable. The intuitive and mathematical results exactly match the measured ones of vout. Its fun!
