Differential calculation

The differential amplifier circuit, also known as the differential circuit, is widely used in integrated operational amplifier circuits and is often used as a pre-stage for multi-stage amplifiers.

Differential amplifier principle:

The basic form of the differential amplifier circuit requires the circuit to be completely symmetrical. The temperature characteristics of the two tubes are also completely symmetrical.

Its working principle is: when the input signal Ui=0, the currents of the two tubes are equal, and the collector potentials of the two tubes are also equal, so the output voltage

Uo=UC1-UC2=0. When the temperature rises, the current of both tubes increases, and the collector potentials decrease. Because they are in the same temperature environment,

The current and voltage variations of the two tubes are equal, and the output voltage is still zero.

There are two main types of amplification input signals: common mode signals and differential mode signals.
