Output voltage of differential amplifier

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the output voltage of a differential amplifier with a differential gain of 100 and a common mode gain of 0.1, using input voltages v1 and v2. The formula for the output voltage is correctly identified as v0 = Ad(v1-v2) + Acm(v1+v2)/2. Participants point out errors in the calculations, particularly in handling the AC signals and the common mode component. The importance of retaining the DC terms in the calculations is emphasized, as well as ensuring proper averaging without unnecessary division. The final output voltage calculation remains unresolved due to these mathematical discrepancies.

Homework Statement



Find output voltage of differential amplifier having differential gain of 100 and common mode gain 0.1 if input voltages are v1=2+0.55sinwt and v2=0.5-0.005sinwt

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



well, from sedra smith book i found the formula for output book

v0= Ad(v1-v2)+Acm(v1+v2)/2

if i have to subtract two AC signals with dc offsets i get v1-v2= 1.5+0.55sinwt am i correct?

so can right it as 2.11sinwt
again for Acm i have to take average of two signals which will be 1.25+0.272sinwt

i have to divide it by 2 hence it becomes 1.522sinwt

the final ans i am getting is 211.15sinwt am i correct?

Your sin term is off by about 1%.
so can right it as 2.11sinwt
?

again for Acm i have to take average of two signals which will be 1.25+0.272sinwt

i have to divide it by 2 hence it becomes 1.522sinwt

?
You don't divide the average by 2 again! And what happened to the dc term?

the final ans i am getting is 211.15sinwt am i correct?[/QUOTE]

Don't think so.
Your starting formula is correct but then you seem to be floundering with the math.
