The present paper disusses the preservation of the closed-loop stability when a derivative feedback is replaced by its difference counterparts. A sufficient condition for such stability preservation is provided. Applying this condition leads to a favorable result that the stability preservation is always true for single-input systems. It is pointed out however that multi-output systems do not allow such simplicity.
