DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER, DIFF-AMP
An amplifier that produces an output signal proportional to the difference of the two input signals. It has a very large gain when opposite signals are applied to the inputs as compared to the negligible gain resulting from common inputs. Commonly used for the input stages of an operational amplifier.
BASIC CIRCUIT The circuit has two separate inputs, two outputs,
and both emitter terminals are connected together.
MODES OF SIGNAL OPERATION:SINGLE-ENDED INPUT
Case 1: Vi1 ≠ 0 and Vi2 = 0 Input signal is applied to B1 ( Vi1 ≠ 0 ). B2 is grounded ( Vi2 = 0). Inverted amplified output signal, Vo1, appears at terminal
C1. A signal voltage Ve appears in phase at the emitter of Q1
and Q2 which becomes an input to Q2. Q2 functions as a common-base amplifier. Noninverted amplified output signal, Vo2, appears at
terminal C2. Voltage gain Av1 = - Rc / re. Voltage gain Av2 = +Rc / re.
CONFIGURATION
Case 2: Vi2 ≠ 0 and Vi1 = 0 Input signal is applied to B2 ( Vi2 ≠ 0 ). B1 is grounded ( Vi1 = 0). Inverted amplified output signal, Vo2, appears at terminal
C2. A signal voltage Ve appears in phase at the emitter of Q1
and Q2 which becomes an input to Q1. Q1 functions as a common-base amplifier. Noninverted amplified output signal, Vo1, appears at
terminal C1. Voltage gain Av2 = - Rc / re. Voltage gain Av1 = +Rc / re.
CONFIGURATION
DIFFERENTIAL INPUT Two opposite-polarity input signals are
applied to the inputs ( double-ended operation).
Vi1 and Vo2 are in phase. Vi2 and Vo1 are in phase. There is a 180° out-of-phase relationship
between Vo1 and Vo2. / Vo1/ = / Vo2/
COMMON-MODE INPUT The same input is applied to both input
terminals. The output signals for both transistors are
equal to zero
COMMON-MODE REJECTION RATIO, CMRR The ratio between differential voltage gain and
common-mode gain. The measure of an amplifier’s ability to reject
common-mode signals. CMRR = ∞ (ideal).
CMRR = Avd / Acm
Where: Avd = differential voltage gain Acm = common-mode gain
Expressed in decibels CMRR = 20 log ( Avd / Acm)
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER An op-amp is a high gain differential amplifier with
high input impedance (Zi) and low output impedance (Zo). An op-amp contains several stages of differential amplifier to achieve a very high voltage gain.
Typical op-amp unit
The concept of negative feedback is used in several op-amp applications. Negative feedback is the process whereby a portion of the output voltage of an amplifier is returned to the input with a phase angle that opposes the input signal.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE Op-amp provides an output component that is due to
the amplification of the difference of the signals (Vd) applied to the two inputs and a component due to the signals common to both inputs(Vc).
Vo = AdVd + AcVc
Where : Vd = difference voltage Vd = Vi1 – Vi2
Vc = common voltage ( unwanted)
Vi1 + Vi2
Vc = -------------- 2
Ad = differential gain Ac = common mode gain
Ad >> Ac
COMMON MODE REJECTION RATIO, CMRR
The measure of an amplifier’s ability to reject unwanted signals. The main purpose of differential connection is to amplify the difference signal while rejecting the common signal (noise) at the inputs.
CMRR = Ad Ac CMRRdB= 20 log Ad Ac
Vc
Vo = AdVd 1 + ------------- CMRR Vd
CMRR = infinite (ideal) the larger the value, the better the circuit operation Vo = AdVd + AcVc
Vo = AdVd 1 + AcVc AdVd
DC OFFSSET PARAMETER (output error voltage)
Unwanted voltage and current generated by the internal circuitry and not by the applied input signal.
INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE; VIO (1mV ~ 6mV) When Vi = 0, the circuit acts like an
noninverting amplifier.
Vo(offset) = VIO [ 1 + Rf / R1 ]
INPUT OFFSET CURRENT;IIO (20nA ~ 200 nA) An offset current due to the difference in
currents at the two inputs.
Vo(offset) = IIO Rf
TOTAL OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE
Vo(offset) = VIO [ 1 + Rf / R1 ] + IIO Rf

FREQUENCY PARAMETERS
fc = f1 / AVD
Where B1 = unity- gain BW f1 = unity- gain freq AVD = voltage differential gain = open loop voltage gain = 200V/mV typical = 20V/mV (min)
CUTOFF FREQUENCY, fc
SLEW RATE, SR Slew rate is the maximum permissible rate at which op-amp
output can change in volts per microsecond. If the rate of output voltage change is greater than SR, the output signal will be distorted.
SR = ΔVo / Δt
Vo = ACL Vi
ΔVo / Δt = ACL [ ΔVi / Δt ] SR = ACL [ ΔVi / Δt ]
MAXIMUM SIGNAL FREQUENCY The input frequency of an op-amp is dependent on both the
bandwidth and slew rate parameters
ws < SR/ K
K =output gain factor K = ACL Vi
SAMPLE APPLICATIONS
INVERTING AMPLIFIER
Vo = - (Rf / R1) Vi
Zi = R1 + Rf / AOL ≈ R1
Zo = [ AOL / ( 1 + AOL)] Rf // Zout
Zo ≈Zout
Where Zout = open-loop output impedance Zin = open-loop input impedance AOL = open-loop gain Zi = input impedance of the inverting amplifier Zo = output impedance of the inverting amplifier
B = feedback fraction AOL(mid) = midrange open-loop gain fi = signal frequency fc = critical frequency BWCL = closed-loop BW
NONINVERTING AMPLIFIER
Vo = [ 1 + Rf / R1 ] Vi
Zi = [ 1 + AOLB ] Zin
Zo = Zout / ( 1 + AOLB)
UNITY FOLLOWER A voltage buffer configuration provides a means of
isolating an input signal from a load.
