Operational amplifiers OpAmps with negative feedback allow highly versatile realisations, in particular highly stabilised gain amplifiers. Take the example depicted in fig. To make this quantity a reasonable approximation it is simply required a very high open loop gain i.
Thus, the amplifier above could be realised with a single transistor as indicated in fig. Resistors R 2 and R 1 define the gain. Inserting a resistor between the emitter terminal and ground will boost the input resistance.
Yet, this procedure reduces the gain and increases the output resistance, although marginally. Alternatively, FETs can be used at the input - at the cost of lower g m and consequently lower gains.
Nonetheless, no juggling will confer a symmetrical differential input to the CE topology. The solution resorts to a composed implementation with more than one transistor to obtain a differential input called the differential pair. Note, however, that other OpAmp characteristics should be searched for, such as: very high gain, high input and low output resistance, low voltage and current offsets.
Simultaneously, one should not loose site for other characteristic improvements, such as band width and maximum slew-rate. Differential pair.
Consider fig. Thus, we may say that the differential pair ideally responds to differential signals i. Current variation. The total emitter current is kept constant by the current source I. This change in transistor current with input differential variation can be observed in fig. The expression for the current can be found to be: The differential pair operation is approximately linear for small differential input voltages.
This corresponds to a region in the graph where the exponential exhibits an approximate linear behaviour. The basic schematic is similar to a bipolar differential pair and is shown in fig. The analysis is very similar to the differential bipolar case.
Having in mind that: naming and making we get: fig. The main remarks, relatively to the bipolar differential pair, are, on one hand, the larger v id value spread, and, on the other hand, the smaller characteristics slope around the origin. Small signal operation.
Take the BJT differential pair as reference. Having in mind, for example, that: for the three possible outputs the following differential gains result: fig. This last gain corresponds to an amplifier with differential signals both at the input and output fig. There is another way to look into this problem: If we consider the amplifier as an ideal differential amplifier where essentially the common mode gain is null , according to fig.
Then, the gain is approximately: However, if the other output is intended, it is enough to think that both collector currents signal are necessarily equal, and, consequently, the gain will be symmetric of the indicated above. Nonetheless, it is called the attention upon the fact that this configuration corresponds to a variant of a circuit known as cascode that it will be studied ahead.
Exercise 1: If in fig. A small signal analysis can also be done taking the equivalence between the differential pair and the CE configuration.
Even assuming that the biasing source is not ideal see fig. Thus, each transistor is equivalent to a CE configuration with a grounded emitter, as shown in fig. From fig. A similar analysis can be performed on a FET differential pair. The sole relevant difference is the linear operation span which is significantly bigger in a FET differential pair. Common mode operation.
The common mode operation is illustrated in fig. CE montage If R C « r o , we get: and by analogy and The common mode rejection ratio is, by definition, such that, for each unique output v c1 or v c2 , we get. Exercise 2: Show that and explain why in this context where R is generally very high it makes sense not to forget r m , in general ignored for being very high. Operation with arbitrary input voltages.
Let v 1 and v 2 be the signal components of v B1 and v B2. In general, the differential pair input voltages, v 1 and v 2 , corresponds neither to a differential nor to a common mode. Rewriting v o expression we get: where CMRR is expressed in non-logarithmic form which then shows that, if the CMRR is sufficiently high, the output signal depends solely on the input differential component. Because the desirable operation is precisely this, the term constitutes the error of the differential circuit model.
Other non-ideal characteristics. Input offset voltage. Thus, an input offset voltage can be defined as:. Thus, for a BJT pair, the offset result is:. Bias current and input offset current. Given its very small values, input currents are non-relevant for the FETs differential pairs.
Consequently we will only consider the case of a BJT differential pair. In a symmetric pair, the input currents at rest are equal to: This common value is called the input bias current I B. Due to the inevitable input asymmetry, the bias currents are in fact different. This difference is called input offset current.
In particular, if transistor gains b differ by Db , the offset is: Up to here we have indicated a symbolic current source to bias the differential pair. It maters now to see how can that current source be realised. Discrete circuits are going to be distinguished from integrated current source circuits.
Bias circuits for differential pairs. Discrete circuits. A discrete component typical constant current source CCS realisation is illustrated in fig. A practical example will allow us an easier router to evaluate and project CCS circuit. Then, assuming I B 0, we get: fig. Exercise 3: Find the source output resistance, R, having in mind the value of r o and that the transistor has an emitter resistor R 3. Integrated circuits.
The resistor values required by the previous setting are impractical for integrated circuits. On the other hand, good matching transistors are easy and economic to fabricate. This way, a common technique utilised in integrated circuits to realise CCS is the current mirror.
If both transistors are exactly matched, and since V GS is the same for both transistors, their currents will be equal. If both threshold voltages are the same, but different K factors are used, then fig.
The basic BJT current mirror configuration is shown in fig. Hence, the modifications usually made to the basic current mirror aim to overcome the limitations resulting from finite b and r o.
The use of an extra transistor T 3 , in fig. The current mirrors output resistance made with MOS can also be increased using Wilson or cascode configurations.
Improving the bandwidth. Recall that the amplifier bandwidth refers to the frequency range within which the gain remains almost constant. We call lower and upper cut-off frequencies to those range limits. The criterion utilised to define these frequencies corresponds to the measure of the point where the maximum gain decreases by 3 dB, i. At the lower limit, i. So, when direct coupling is used, such as with integrated OpAmps, usually there is no gain decrease at low frequencies, accordingly the lower cut-off frequency is zero.
Otherwise infinite frequencies would imply electrons or other carriers, such as holes in p type semiconductors infinite accelerations, and therefore infinite forces would be present, which are obviously impossible in Nature. The upper cut-off frequency depends not only on the transistors characteristics and quiescent point but as well on the chosen circuit configuration. Then, in a direct coupling amplifier, the bandwidth coincides with the upper cut-off frequency. CE configuration bandwidth.
The CE behaviour at high frequencies is of special interest to study the differential pair, because, as we have seen before, the differential pair is somehow equivalent to a CE montage. From the three basic configurations, it is precisely the CE that has the smallest bandwidth, i. The reason for this poorer behaviour at high frequencies can easily be found through a simplified analysis of the high frequency equivalent circuit of fig.

This application is relatively simple for the calculation of termination resistance and gain, and it is easy to get a suitable design. Termination resistor RT. Due to the negative feedback and high open-loop gain, the voltage at the two input terminals of the amplifier will be equal, that is, "virtual short". It should be noted that only when the source impedance is less than or equal to the differential input impedance is it necessary to terminate the resistors at the non-inverting input and the inverting input.

A Low-Voltage Fully Differential Pure Current Mode Current Operational Amplifier
High common mode rejection is very important in minimizing electrical interference. The high input resistance of the DPA 10 12 ohm typical ensures that the instrument's high CMR will not be degraded by differences in source impedance at the input. This is important in extracellular recording, where the difference in resistance of the recording and indifferent electrode is often large. Extracellular action potentials are typically measured in microvolts but are usually accompanied by much larger DC electrode voltages. With gain selections at x10, x, x and x10,, even microvolt signals are sufficiently amplified for computer and recorder inputs. Reducing the bandwidth with the low pass and high pass filters further lowers noise.
