Differential Amplifier
• Input of every operational amplifier is a differential amplifier
• Performance of the differential pair depends critically on the matching between the both sides of the circuit
• Differential amplifiers utilize more components
• Differential circuit are much less sensitive to the noise and interference as only difference signal between two input is sensed
• Enables biasing and coupling of the amplifier without bypass & coupling capacitors

Differential Amplifier
• Q1& Q2 are two matched transistors
• Constant current source (I) provides dc biasing & is an ideal source
• RD1=RD2
• It is essential that the MOSFET remain in saturation mode all the time

Figure 7.4 The MOS differential pair with a differential input signal vid applied. With vid positive: vGS1 > vGS2, iD1 > iD2, and vD1 < vD2; thus (vD2 - vD1) will be positive. With vid negative: vGS1 < vGS2, iD1 < iD2, and vD1 > vD2; thus (vD2 - vD1) will be negative.
