there is no ground terminal indicated in the circuit. Hence it must be automatically
understood that the opposite points of both the positive and negative voltage supplies are
understood to be connected to the ground.

As shown in the circuit diagram above there are two inputs, I/P1 and I/P2 and two outputs
V1OUT and V2OUT. I/P1 is applied to the base of the transistor TI and IP2 is applied to the
base of the transistor T2. The emitters of both T1 and T2 are connected to a common
emitter resistor so that the two output terminals V1OUT and V2OUT gets a ected by the
two input signals I/P1 and I/P2. VCC and VEE are the two supply voltages for the circuit. The

Di erential Ampli er Working
When input signal I/P1 is applied to the transistor T1, there will be a high voltage drop
across the collector resistance RCOL1 , and thus the collector of T1 will be less positive.
When I/P1 is negative T1 is turned OFF, and the voltage drop across RCOL1 becomes very
low and thus the collector of T1 will be more positive. Thus we can conclude than an
inserted output appears at T1s collector for applying signal at I/P1.
When T1 is turned ON by the positive value of I/P1 , the current through the emitter
resistance REM increases as the emitter current is almost equal to the collector current
(IEIC). Thus the voltage drop across REM increases and makes the emitter of both
transistors going in a positive direction. Making T2s emitter positive is the same as making
the base of T2 negative. In such a condition the transistor T2 will conduct less current
which in turn will cause less voltage drop in RCOL2 and thus the collector of T2 will go in a
positive direction for positive input signal. Thus we can conclude that the non-inverting
output appears at the collector of transistor T2 for input at base of T1.
The ampli cation can be driven di erentially by taking output between the collector of T1
and T2.
As shown in the gure above, if the transistor T1 and T2 are assumed to be identical in all
characteristics, and if the voltages are equal (VBASE1 = VBASE2), then the emitter current can
also be said to be eequal
IEM1 = IEM2
Total Emitter Current, IE = IEM1 + IEM2
VEM = VBASE VBASE EM
IEM = (VBASE VBASE EM)/REM
The emitter current IEM remains virtually constant regardless of the hfe value of the
transistors.
Since ICOL1 IEM1, and ICOL2 IEM2, ICOL1 ICOL2
Also, VCOL1 = VCOL2 = VCC ICOL RCOL, assuming collector resistance RCOL1 = RCOL2 = RCOL.

Di erential ampli er is a closed loop ampli er circuit which ampli es the di erence
between two signals. Such a circuit is very useful in instrumentation systems. Di erential
ampli ers have high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and high input impedance.
Di erential ampli ers can be made using one opamp or two opamps. Both of these
con gurations are explained here.

When Va is made zero the circuit becomes a non inverting ampli er. Let V1 be the voltage
at the non inverting input pin. Relation between Vb and V1 can be expressed using the
following equation.

Circuit diagram of a di erential ampli er using two opamps is shown below. Main
advantage of di erential ampli er with two opamps is that it has increased overall gain.
R1 is the input resistor for IC1 and R3 is the input resistor for IC2. Rf is the feedback
resistor. Va and Vb are the two input voltages and they are applied to the non inverting
inputs of IC2 and IC1 respectively. RL is the load resistor. V+ and V- are the positive and
negative supply voltages.
