Abstract
A differential output amplifier arrangement (DOA) including two operational amplifiers (OA1,OA2), each having a feedback resistor (R2,R20), and which are coupled by a first resistor (R1) between similar polarity type input terminals, further includes a pair of output resistors (R3,R30), coupled between respective output terminals (OUT1,OUT2), of each respective operational amplifier, and corresponding respective output terminals (ZOUT1,ZOUT2) of said arrangement, and a pair of resistors (R4,R40), each of which is cross-coupled between a respective output terminal of said arrangement (ZOUT1,ZOUT2) and one of the two similar polarity type, by the first resistor coupled, input terminals (INN2,INN1) of the respective cross-coupled operational amplifier. A method for adapting the output impedance of a differential output amplifier arrangement is described as well.
