Overview
• The “differential amplifier” is one of the most important circuit inventions.
• Their invention dates back to vacuum tube era (1930s.)
• Alan Dower Blumlein (a British Electronics Engineer, 1903- 1942) is regarded as the inventor
differential pair. of the vacuum-tube version of
• Differential operation offers many useful properties and is widely used in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits

Single-ended and Differential Signals
•A “single-ended” signal is a signal that is measured with respect to a fixed potential (typically ground.)
“ •Differential signal” is generally referred to a signal that
is measured as a difference between two nodes that have equal but opposite-phase signal excursions around a
fixed potential (the fixed potential is called common-mode
(CM) level.)
3
Why Differential?
• Better immunity to environmental noise
• Improved linearity
• Higher signal swing compared to single-ended

Higher Immunity to Noise Coupling

Basic Differential Pair
• Problem: Sensitive to input common-mode (CM) level
– Bias current of the transistors input CM level changes
M1 and M2 changes as the
– gm of the devices as well as output CM level change
• Can we think of a solution?
