SUMMARY 1. The differential amplifier should amplify the difference between the two input voltages. 2. The differential amplifier should suppress signals that are common to both inputs. 3. The differential amplifier with a constant current source is superior to the differential amplifier with just a resistor. 4. The common mode rejection ratio is used as a figure of merit for comparison. 5. The differential amplifier is a dc amplifier as well as an ac amplifier.

If RL accidently went to zero IL would only go to 0.7/Re because at that value of IL T3 would turn on which would remove the base drive from T1 thus IL would be limited to 0.7/Re. Similar for T2.
