An example of the circuit configuration used for dc measurements is shown in Figure 6-1. Voltage VDx refers to the voltage across a given divider, such as VD1 for divider 1. Voltage VRx refers to the voltage across a given resistor, such as VRIN1 for RIN1 or VRG1 for RG1.
When the RES11A is used to set the gain of an op amp (shown in Figure 6-2), the ratio of the resistors in a divider sets the amplifier gain such that VOUT = –VIN × RG / RIN. Discrete difference-amplifier and instrumentation-amplifier circuits are variations on this use case. Typical and maximum parameter values for ratio tolerance (tD1, tD2) are expressed in terms of RGx / RINx to simplify calculations for these circuits. See Section 7.3.1 for more detailed discussion of these error terms.
Another valid use case of the RES11A is a simple voltage divider. An example is shown in Figure 6-3. For this implementation, the midpoint voltage VMID is equal to the input voltage VD multiplied by RIN / (RIN + RG).
While calculation of the error for a voltage divider use case is slightly more complex, the gain error of a voltage divider circuit constructed with the RES11A is always less than that of an amplifier gain circuit implemented with the same device. Put another way, the values of tD1 or tD2 specified for the RES11A in gain circuits are overly conservative for voltage-divider circuits. Refer to Section 8.1.2 for detailed discussion and examples.
Figure 6-4 shows the circuit configuration used for CMRR calculations. For an ideal amplifier with no offset and infinite CMRR, the effective circuit CMRR is entirely a function of the matching of the resistors. See Section 8.1.3.1 and the Optimizing CMRR in Differential Amplifier Circuits With Precision Matched Resistor Divider Pairs application note for more information.
