MIC7201
GainBlock™ Difference Amplifier
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC7201 difference amplifier is an analog gain block
designed to convert a differential signal to a signal-ended
signal. It features an extended common-mode range that
includes rail-to-rail input/output capabilities. The part is pack-
aged in the SOT-23-5 IttyBitty™ package.
The MIC7201 is designed using the MIC7101 operational
amplifier plus well-matched monolithic resistors to provide a
unity-gain stable differential input to signal-ended output
amplifier that requires a minimum of external components.
Performance is guaranteed from 2.2V through 10V.

Difference Amplifier Behavior
The desired 100mV, 400Hz differential sinusoidal signal is shown applied to
inputs V
IN–
and V
IN+
. A 500mV, 5kHz square-wave “noise” signal is super-
imposed on both V
IN–
and V
IN+
.
These signals demonstrate the noise cancellation ability of the MIC7201.
The output (V
OUT
) shows the recovered single-ended 200mV peak-to-peak,
400Hz sine wave.
