Q1 serves as an emitter-follower amplifier in this mode to drive Q2. Q2 serves as a common-base amplifier in this mode. It’s driven at its emitter. Both outputs are active because Q1 drives Q2. +VCC C C B B E E Q1 Q2 -VEE
Common mode input signal Reduced output Reduced output A differential amplifier driven at both inputs +VCC C C B B E E -VEE
A differential amplifier driven at both inputs with a common-mode signal shows low gain (usually a loss) because the total emitter current is fairly constant. +VCC If the input signal goes positive, both transistors want to increase their current but can’t. C C B B E E Constant total current -VEE
Increased output Increased output Driven at both inputs with a differential signal +VCC C C B B E E -VEE
A differential amplifier driven at both inputs with a differential signal shows high gain. +VCC Here, one transistor increases its current as the other decreases so the constant total current is not a limiting factor. C C B B E E Constant total current -VEE

Op-amp follower AV(OL) = the open loop voltage gain AV(CL) = the closed loop voltage gain This is a closed-loop circuit with a voltage gain of 1. It has a high input impedance and a low output impedance. RL
Op-amp follower AV(OL) = 200,000 AV(CL) = 1 The differential input approaches zero due to the high open-loop gain. Using this model, VOUT = VIN. VDIF = 0 VOUT RL VIN
A VOUT VIN AB +1 The feedback ratio = 1 AV(CL) = 200,000 @ 1 (200,000)(1) + 1 Op-amp follower AV(OL) = 200,000 B = 1 VOUT RL VIN
200,000 AV(CL) = = 11 (200,000)(0.091) + 1 R1 B = RF + R1 10 kW = 100 kW + 10 kW The closed-loop gain is increased by decreasing the feedback with a voltage divider. RF 100 kW R1 10 kW VOUT RL = 0.091 VIN
VIN = VOUT x VOUT R1 VIN = R1 + RF 1 + RF R1 It’s possible to develop a different model for the closed loop gain by assuming VDIF = 0. RF Divide both sides by VOUT and invert: 100 kW R1 10 kW VDIF = 0 VOUT RL VIN AV(CL) = 11
VIN = R1 -VOUT -RF VOUT = RF R1 VIN In this amplifier, the assumption VDIF = 0 leads to the conclusion that the inverting op amp terminal is also at ground potential. This is called a virtual ground. We can ignore the op amp’s input current since it is so small. Thus: Virtual ground RF IR1 = IRF 10 kW By Ohm’s Law: 1 kW R1 VDIF = 0 VIN VOUT RL = -10 The minus sign designates an inverting amplifier.
Due to the virtual ground, the input impedance of the inverting amplifier is equal to R1. Virtual ground Although op amp input currents are small, in most applications, offset error is minimized by providing equal resistance paths for the input currents. RF 10 kW R1 1 kW VDIF = 0 VIN R2 = R1|| RF = 910 W This resistor reduces offset error.
