Dual Input, Balanced Output Differential Amplifier

This document discusses the dual input, balanced output differential amplifier. It explains the circuit configuration with two transistor inputs and a differential output between the transistor collectors. It then describes analyzing the circuit under DC conditions by reducing the input voltages to zero. This allows determining the operating point of one transistor, which can then be applied to the second transistor since the circuit is symmetrical. Equations are provided to calculate the emitter current, collector voltage, and collector-emitter voltage based on the circuit components and bias voltages. An example problem is then given to demonstrate using the equations to determine the operating point for a specific differential amplifier circuit.

because R

. Since both emitter biased sections of
the different amplifier are symmetrical in all respects, therefore, the operating point for only one section need to be
determined. The same values of I

and V
