A differential amplifier is a type of that amplifies the difference between two input but suppresses any voltage common to the two inputs. It is an with two inputs Vin(+) and Vin(-) and one output Vo in which the output is ideally proportional to the difference between the two voltages Vo=A[Vin(+)-Vin(-)] Where, A is the gain of the amplifier. • Design differential amp & single amp without offset • Using OOS cancellation technique • Choose the suitable capacitor for the application • Reset period; numbers of KHz • Storage time must be longer than the settling time of storage Mixed Signal Chip LAB.

In this chapter we discuss three basic types of differential amplifiers: the source-coupled pair, the source cross-coupled pair, and the current differential amplifier. Differential Amplifiers: Differential amplifier is a basic building block of an op-amp. The function of a differential amplifier is to amplify the difference between two input signals. How the differential amplifier is developed? Let us consider two emitter-biased circuits as shown infig. 1. SM EECE488 Set 4 - Differential Amplifiers 2 Overview • The "differential amplifier" is one of the most important circuit inventions. • Their invention dates back to vacuum tube era (1930s). • Alan Dower Blumlein (a British Electronics Engineer, 1903-1942) is regarded as the inventor of the vacuum-tube version of differential pair. " CMRR is a measure of how well the differential amplifier rejects the common-mode input voltage in favor of the differential-input voltage. ! 7.

This name comes from the early days of amplifier design, when the op amp was used in analog computers. (Yes, the first computers were analog in nature, rather than digital). When the basic amplifier was used with a few external components, various mathematical Clearly, the single ended gain of differential amplifier with "resistive load" is limited by the same considerations as in case of CS amplifier. 2.3. Active load. Active load is expected to improve the differential mode voltage gain a lot. Figure 5 shows the schematic of the differential amplifier with active load. Difference amplifiers should have no common-mode gain Note that each of these gains are open-circuit voltagegains. *An idealdifferential amplifier has zerocommon-mode gain (i.e., A cm =0)! * In other words, the output of an ideal differential amplifier is independentof the common-mode(i.e., average) of the two input signals. • A design which uses two single-ended amplifiers to realize a differential amplifier is very sensitive to the common-mode input level • The transistors' bias current and transconductance can vary dramatically with the common-mode input • Impacts small-s
