Lab # 4 Differential Amplifier Objective:: Equipment

This lab experiment aims to: 1. Understand how differential amplifiers can amplify weak signals in the presence of noise by rejecting common mode signals and noise. 2. Evaluate the roles of the components in a differential amplifier circuit. 3. Test the operation of a current source in place of an emitter resistor in a differential amplifier. 4. Simulate the DC operating conditions of different differential amplifier circuits using MicroCap software.

Lab # 4 Differential Amplifier Objective:

To understand how to amplify weak (small) signals in the presence of noise. To understand how a differential amplifier rejects noise and common mode signals. To evaluate the roles of the components of a differential amplifier. To test the operation of a current source in place of an emitter resistor. To simulate the dc conditions of various differential amplifier circuits using MicroCap software.

Equipment:
1. Digital Multimeter 2. Oscilloscope 3. Function Generator 4. PROTO-BOARD (breadboard). 5. BJT 2N3904 3. 6. Resistors 10 k 4.

Procedure:
1. Connect the differential amplifier shown in Figure 3.3 using calculated values of RC1 = RC2 and Re. You will obtain better results if you match the two transistors in the differential pair using the curve tracer output characteristics. 2. Use a dual voltage Power Supply and connect its POS terminal as Vcc, NEG terminal as Vee and COM terminal as a common ground. Set the power supply voltage to 10V DC. Measure the DC quiescent point values. Use Table 3.1 to compare the voltages and currents from your calculations and from the simulation with the experimental data. If your results are significantly different (more than 15%) from your calculated and simulated values, try to find out and eliminate the reason for that discrepancy.
