A Norton amplifier responds to a differential current, but the output of the Norton amplifier and the conventional op amp is voltage.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Norton amplifier indeed responds to differential input currents and, similar to a conventional operational amplifier (op-amp), provides an output in the form of voltage. This characteristic allows it to be used in applications where current mode operation is advantageous, while still interfacing with systems that require voltage signals.
