In an ideal BJT differential amplifier with perfectly matched transistors and equal collector resistors, applying the same signal to both inputs ideally produces a differential output of?

  • AZero
  • BEqual to twice the input
  • CInfinite
  • DEqual to the supply voltage
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Zero
Explanation: An ideal differential amplifier rejects a signal common to both inputs, so the differential output due to a pure common-mode signal is zero.
