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 according to G = RG / RIN. Discrete-difference-amplifier and instrumentation-amplifier circuits are variations on this ratiometric 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.
However, another valid use case of the RES11A is a simple voltage divider, where the midpoint voltage VMID is equal to the input voltage VD multiplied by RG / (RIN + RG), or by RIN / (RIN + RG) as shown in Figure 6-3. Typical and maximum parameter values for ratio tolerance of these voltage-divider circuits, expressed in terms of RINx / (RINx + RGx), are provided.
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 8.1.1.1 and the Optimizing CMRR in Differential Amplifier Circuits With Precision Matched Resistor Divider Pairs application note for more information.
