ABSTRACT:
Two pairs of differential input voltages are converted into two pairs of differential voltages through voltage converters whose output voltages are determined only by the input voltage amplitudes. Of the two pairs of differential input voltages, a voltage across the positive terminals and a voltage across the negative terminals of the voltage converters are converted into two pairs of differential currents through voltage-to-current converters. An output voltage proportional to the difference between the two pairs of differential currents is obtained with improved linearity through a current-to-voltage converter.
