Unit 2 Differential Amplifier

is set of Linear Integrated Circuit Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses
on “Differential Amplifiers with Multiple Op-Amp – 1”.
1. Why differential amplifiers are preferred for instrumentation and industrial

applications?
a) Input resistance is low
b) Produce amplified output
c) Amplify individual input voltage
d) Reject common mode voltage
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Differential amplifiers are preferred in these applications because they are
better able to reject common-mode voltage than single input circuits and present
balanced input impedance.
2. Which of the following is a combination of inverting and non-inverting amplifier?
a) Differential amplifier with one op-amp
b) Differential amplifier with two op-amps
c) Differential amplifier with three op-amps
d) Differential amplifier with four op-amps
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In differential amplifier with one op-amp both the inputs are connected to
separate voltage source. So, if any one of the source is reduced to zero, differential
amplifier acts as an inverting or non-inverting amplifier.
3. What will be the output voltage when V x =0v?
(Where Vx –> inverting input terminal of differential amplifier with one op-amp)
a) Vo = -(1+R F/R1)*V1
b) Vo = -(1- R F/ R1)*V1
c) Vo = (1+ R F/ R1)*V1
d) Vo = (R F/ R1)*V1
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: When Vx =0v, the configuration is a non-inverting amplifier.
4. Compute the output voltage from the following circuit diagram?
a) -17v
b) -27v
c) -39v
d) -15v
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Since VB=0, the configuration becomes as an inverting amplifier. Hence, the
output due to VA is
Vo = -(RF/R1)*VA = -(15kΩ/1.5kΩ)*2.7v = -10*2.7 = -27v.
5. Compute the output voltage if the input voltage is reduced to zero in differential
amplifier with one op-amp?
a) Inverted Voltage
b) Same as the input voltage
c) Amplified inverted voltage
d) Cannot be determined
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: It is not mentioned clearly whether inverting input or non-inverting input is
reduced to zero. Therefore, the output cannot be determined.
6. The difference between the input and output voltage are -1v and 17v. Calculate the
closed loop voltage gain of differential amplifier with one op-amp?
a) -51
b) 34
c) -17
d) 14
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Voltage gain of differential amplifier with one op-amp, A D=Output voltage /
Difference of input voltage
=> AD = 17v/-1v = -17v.
7. For the differential amplifier given below, determine the V x and RF value. Assume that
the circuit is initially nulled.
a) Vx = -8v, RF = 9.9kΩ

b) Vx = 8v, RF = 9.9kΩ
c) Vx = -8v, RF = -9.9kΩ
d) Vx = 8v, RF = -9.9kΩ
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The closed loop voltage gain, A D = -(RF/R1)
=> RF = -3*3.3kΩ = -9.9kΩ
The net output is given is VO=-(RF /R1)*(Vx-Vy)
=> Vx= Vy– Vo (-R1 /RF)
=> Vx = 6+6(3.3kΩ/9.9kΩ) = 6+2 = 8v.
8. The gain of differential amplifier with one op-amp is same as that of
a) The inverting amplifier
b) The non-inverting amplifier
c) Both inverting and non-inverting amplifier
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The gain of differential amplifier is given as A D= -(RF /R1), which is
equivalent to the output voltage obtained from the inverting amplifier.
9. Find the value of input resistance for differential amplifier with one op-amp. If R 1 =
R2=100Ω and RF = R3 =5kΩ.
a) RIFx = 110Ω; RIFy = 6.7kΩ
b) RIFx = 100Ω; RIFy = 5.1kΩ
c) RIFx = 150Ω; RIFy = 7.2kΩ
d) RIFx = 190Ω; RIFy = 9.0kΩ
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The input resistance of inverting amplifier is R IFx = (R1) and the input
resistance of non-inverting amplifier is R IFy = (R2+ R3)
=> ∴ RIFx = 100Ω and
=> RIFy =100+5kΩ =5.1kΩ.
10. What is the net output voltage for differential amplifier with one op-amp
a) Vo = -(RF /R1)*Vx
b) Vo = -(RF /R1)*(Vx -Vy)
c) Vo = (1+RF /R1)*(Vx -Vy)
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The net output voltage for differential amplifier with one op-amp is given as
Vo= -(RF /R1)*(Vx-Vy).
