To improve the performance of the differential amplifier shown in Figure Q1, the biasing current source is replaced by a Widlar current source. The collector resistors are replaced by a current mirror formed by the matched bipolar transistors Qs and Q6, and the bipolar transistors Q1 and Q2 are replaced by the matched field-effect transistors M1 and M2. A single-sided output at the drain terminal of M2 is used. The transistor parameters for the bipolar transistors are: β = 100, VBE (on) = VEB(on) = 0.7 V, and VA = 100 V. The transistor parameters for M1 and M2 are: Kn = 0.15 mA/V2, VT N = 0.8 V, λ = 0.01 V-1 . The improved differential amplifier is shown in Figure Q2.

In Figure Q3, a voltage divider biased network for a CE amplifier circuit is shown. The transistor parameters are VBE(on) = 0.7 V, VCE(sat) = 0.2 V, β = 100, and VA = ∞. Figure Q3: CE Amplifier Bias Network (a) What is the advantage of emitter resistor RE ? (b) If VE is maintained at 1 V at the Q-point, estimate the maximum possible swing at the output terminal (vO). Justify your reasons. Determine a suitable DC value for collector voltage to be able to achieve the maximum swing. (c) What are VCEQ and ICQ ? (d) Determine values for R1 and R2. (e) A student has implemented this circuit on a breadboard to test the Q-point before applying AC input signal vI. Measurement results show that the collector voltage is equal to 25 V even though the values of R1, R2, and RE appear to be correct. What could be the reason(s) for this unexpected result? Explain where and what you would check in the circuit.

Figure Q2 shows a BJT differential amplifier stage that uses a tail resistor, RO, to provide a bias current, IQ. Transistor parameters are VBE(on) = 0.7 V, β = 100, and VA = ∞. Also, Vcc = 15 V, −VEE = −15 V, RO = 56 kΩ, and RC = 15 kΩ. Figure Q2: Differential Amplifier (a) To calculate the transistor Q-points, what are the values you would assume for vB1 and vB2 ? (b) Determine the bias currents, IC1 and IC2, of the amplifier. (c) For a single-sided output, determine the differential-mode voltage gain (Ad), the commonmode voltage gain (Acm), the differential input impedance (Rid), the common-mode input impedance (Ricm), and the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) in dB for the differential amplifier. Assume a signal source resistance of 50 Ω on each input. (d) Will changing RC affect the amplifier CMRR? (e) Suggest two changes to this amplifier each of which would allow the CMRR to be increased. For each, give a reason why the change would have the desired effect.
