Common Mode
Differential Mode
Different modes of operation of the BJT differential pair: (a) The differential pair with a common-mode input signal vCM. (b) The differential pair with a large differential input signal. (c) The differential pair with a large differential input signal of polarity opposite to that in (b). (d) The differential pair with a small differential input signal vi. Note that we have assumed the bias current source I to be ideal (i.e., it has an infinite output resistance) and thus I remains constant with the change in vCM.
These two equations can be combined to obtain iE1 = e( vB1 vB 2 ) / VT iE 2 which can be manipulated to yield iE1 iE 2 1 1 and = = ( vB 2 vB 1 ) / VT ( vB1 vB 2 ) / VT iE1 + iE 2 1 + e iE1 + iE 2 1 + e From the circuit we have iE1 + iE 2 = I Which may be used to obtain the following expressions for iE1 and iE 2 iE1 = iC1 I

and iE 2 =

iE1 and iE 2 by which is almost unity and plotted as shown in the figure
The transfer characteristics of the BJT differential pair (a) can be linearized (b) (i.e., the linear range of operation can be extended) by including resistances in the emitters.

Differential-mode input resistance is small-signal resistance presented to differential-mode input voltage between the two transistor bases.

For RC=REE, common-mode gain =0.5. Thus, common-mode output voltage and Acc is 0 if REE is infinite. This result is obtained since output resistances of transistors are neglected. A more accurate expression is:

Applying rules for drawing halfcircuits, the two power supply lines and emitter become ac grounds. The half-circuit represents a C-E amplifier stage.

Applying rules for drawing halfcircuits, the points at the line of symmetry are open circuited. The half-circuit represents a C-E amplifier stage with an emitter resistance.
