The following specifications are given for the dual input, balanced-output differential amplifier:
RC = 2.2 kΩ, RB = 4.7 kΩ, Rin 1 = Rin 2 = 50Ω, +VCC= 10V, -VEE = -10 V, βdc =100 and VBE =
0.715V.

a. Determine the voltage gain.


b. Determine the input resistance
c. Determine the output resistance.

Example:3 A certain diff-amp has a differential voltage gain of 2000 and a common-mode gain of
0.2. Determine the CMRR and express it in decibels.
Example:4 Determine the CMRR and express it in decibels for an amplifier with a differential
voltage gain of 8500 and a common-mode gain of 0.25
Therefore, substituting the known values in voltage gain equation (E-2), we obtain

b). The input resistance seen from each input source is given by (E-3) and (E-4):

(c) The output resistance seen looking back into the circuit from each of the two output terminals
is given by (E-5)

Ro1 = Ro2 = 2.2 k Ω

Example - 2

For the dual input, balanced output differential amplifier of Example-1:

a. Determine the output voltage (vo) if vin 1 = 50mV peak to peak (pp) at 1 kHz and
vin 2 = 20 mV pp at 1 kHz.
b. What is the maximum peal to peak output voltage without clipping?

Solution:

(a) In Example-1 we have determined the voltage gain of the dual input, balanced output
differential amplifier. Substituting this voltage gain (Ad = 86.96) and given values of input
voltages in (E-1), we get

(b) Note that in case of dual input, balanced output difference amplifier, the output voltage vo is
measured across the collector. Therefore, to calculate the maximum peak to peak output voltage,
we need to determine the voltage drop across each collector resistor:

Substituting IC = ICQ = 0.988 mA, we get


This means that the maximum change in voltage across each collector resistor is ± 2.17
(ideally)or 4.34 VPP. In other words, the maximum peak to peak output voltage with out
clipping is (2) (4.34) = 8.68 VPP.

The ability of a differential amplifier to reject a common mode signal is expressed by its
common mode rejection ratio (CMRR). It is the ratio of differential gain Ad to the
common modegain AC.
