Lecture -1: Operational Amplifiers

Dual Input, Balanced Output Differential Amplifier:


The circuit is shown in fig. 1, v
1
and v
2
are the two inputs, applied to the bases of Q
1
and Q
2
transistors. The output voltage
is measured between the two collectors C
1
and C
2
, which are at same dc potentials.
D.C. Analysis:
To obtain the operating point (I
CC
and V
CEQ
) for differential amplifier dc equivalent circuit is drawn by reducing the input
voltages v
1
and v
2
to zero as shown in fig. 3.
Fig. 3
The internal resistances of the input signals are denoted by R
S
because R
S1
= R
S2
. Since both emitter biased sections of
the different amplifier are symmetrical in all respects, therefore, the operating point for only one section need to be
determined. The same values of I
CQ
and V
CEQ
can be used for second transistor Q
2
.
Applying KVL to the base emitter loop of the transistor Q
1
.
The value of R
E
sets up the emitter current in transistors Q
1
and Q
2
for a given value of V
EE
. The emitter current in Q
1
and
Q
2
are independent of collector resistance R
C
.
The voltage at the emitter of Q
1
is approximately equal to -V
BE
if the voltage drop across R is negligible. Knowing the value
of I
C
the voltage at the collector V
C
is given by

Example - 1
The following specifications are given for the dual input, balanced-output differential amplifier of fig.1:
R

= 2.2 k, R
B
= 4.7 k, R
i n 1
= R
i n 2
= 50 , +V
CC
= 10V, -V
EE
= -10 V,
dc
=100 and V
BE
= 0.715V.
Determine the operating points (I
CQ
and V
CEQ
) of the two transistors.
Solution:
The value of I
CQ
can be obtained from equation (E-1).

The voltage V
CEQ
can be obtained from equation (E-2).
The values of I
CQ
and V
CEQ
are same for both the transistors.
