Hi.

Can a fully differential op amp be used as a unity-gain buffer, in some manner as we use a single-ended opamp:



If yes, how to connect up the circuit?
 

With -1 gain, yes. But to make noninverting differential buffer You need FDDA (Fully Differential Difference Amplifier - 4 inputs, 2 outputs)

Hi Dominik (and other members

Can the fully diff opamp be connected like below?



Thanks,

Yes, One has to cover rail to rail operation at input and use differential output stage.
 

No. Connect +out to -in, and -out to +in .
I'm not completely clear about the purpose of this circuit, e.g. where goes the input signal? Analog has suggested a few unusual circuit with fully differential OP in the AD8132 datasheet. They depend in part on the frequency characteristic of the common mode feedback circuit.
