Hi, I have 2 voltage sources(lets say 1V & 1.1V) and i need o/p as the voltage difference only, with a known gain.
i.e. If the gain is 10x, then the o/p should be 10x(1.1-1) = 1V
I was checking the common non-inverting differential amplifier circuit, it is giving out 2V ( 1V difference + 1V inverting input), in the following :
Which seems okay as per this calculation :
( Vinv is voltage at - pin of opamp, which is same as + pin anyways )
Vinv = (Vo-V2) * { R1/(R1+R10) }
or, (Vo-V2) = Vinv * { (R1+R10)/R1 }
or, Vo = Vinv * { (R1+R10)/R1 } + V2
i.e. The V2 component is always there added to the output.
Now, I do not want to have V2, I want
Vo = Gain x (V1-V2)
so that i can directly measure the Vo in multi meter, without keeping track of V1 or V2 (both of which changes, but V1 with always be > V2 ).
So, how can I do that ?
