Answer: a
Explanation: Differential mode gain, ADM = -gm RC,
⇒ ADM = -4MΩ-1×15kΩ = 60
⇒ rΠ0/gm =200/4MΩ-1 =50kΩ
Common mode gain, ACM=-βo×RC/rΠ+(βO+1)×RE
⇒ ACM =-200×15kΩ/50kΩ+2(1+200)×1kΩ=-6.637
Common mode signal, VCM=(V1+V2)/2= 30sin⁡Π(50t)
Differential mode signal, VDM=(V1-V2)/2= 10 sin⁡Π(25t)
Output voltages are given as
⇒ V01=ADM)× VDM)+ ACM× VCM
= -60[10 sin⁡Π(25t)]-6.637[30sin⁡Π(50t)],
⇒ V02=-ADM× VDM+ ACM× VCM
= 60[10 sin⁡Π(25t)]-6.637[30sin⁡Π(50t)].

5. If the value of Common Mode Rejection Ratio and Common Mode Gain are 40db and -0.12 respectively, then determine the value of differential mode gain
a) 0.036
b) -1.2
c) 4.8
d) 12
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Common mode rejection ratio, CMRR =log-1×(40/20) = 100
⇒ CMRR =(∣ADM∣/ ∣ACM∣)
⇒ ∣ADM∣ =100×0.12 = 12.

6. To increase the value of CMRR, which circuit is used to replace the emitter resistance Re in differential amplifier?
a) Constant current bias
b) Resistor in parallel with Re
c) Resistor in series with Re
d) Diode in parallel with Re
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Constant current bias offers extremely large resistor under AC condition and thus provide high CMRR value.

7. What is the purpose of diode in differential amplifier with constant current circuit?
a) Total current independent on temperature
b) Diode is dependent of temperature
c) Transistor is depend on temperature
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The base emitter voltage of transistor (VBE) in constant current circuit by 2.5mv/oc, thus diode also has same temperature. Hence two variations cancel each other and total current IQ become in depend of temperature.

10. Constant current source in differential amplifier is also called as
a) Current Mirror
b) Current Source
c) Current Repeaters
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The output current is reflection or mirror of the reference input current. Therefore, the constant current source circuit referred as Current Mirror.

11. When will be the mirror effect valid
a) β≫1
b) β=1
c) β<1
d) β≠1
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: If value of β is used in the equation, IC=β/(β+2)×Iref. It almost become unity and the output current become equal to reference current.

12. Calculate the value of reference current and input resistor for current mirror with IC=1.2μA & VCC=12v. Assume β=50.
a) 1.248mA, 9kΩ
b) 1.248mA, 9.6kΩ
c) 1.248mA, 9.2kΩ
d) 1.2mA, 9.6kΩ
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: We know that collector current, IC=β/(β+2)×Iref,
⇒ Iref=(β+2)/β×IC= (50+2)/50× 1.2μA = 1.248mA
⇒ Iref=(VCC-VBE)/R1
⇒ R1=(12v-07v)/1.248mA = 9.05kΩ.
