Homework 11

1. For the following circuits, calculate the differential-mode gain (A dm), common-mode gain (Acm), and
common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). Assume all transistors operate in forward active mode, and
use the following values in your analysis.

Ib=1mA, RL=10kΩ, RE=1kΩ, RT=2kΩ

β=100, V+=10V, VA=∞
k=1.38x10-23J/K, T=300K, q=1.602x10-19C

In (a) and (b), a non-ideal current sink is represented by an ideal current source in parallel with a
resistance. You may ignore RT for the DC bias conditions to simplify the analysis (since the DC levels
of Vi1 and Vi2 have not been provided).
