In a Single Input Balanced Output Differential amplifier, given VCC=15v, RE = 3.9kΩ, VCE=2.4 v and re=250Ω. Determine Voltage gain

(a) 26

(b) 56

(c) 38

(d) 61

I got this question in an international level competition.

This interesting question is from Differential Amplifier and Circuit Configuration topic in division Operational Amplifier of Linear Integrated Circuits

Accurate option is (a) 26

Paint a vivid picture of understanding with: In single Input Balance Output amplifier,

⇒ IE = (VEE-VBE)/2RE

      =(15v-0.7v)/(2×3.9kom)=  1.83mA  (∵VCC=VEE)

From the equation, VCE = VCC +VBE-RC×IC

⇒ RC = (14.3v – 2.4v)/1.83mA = 6.5kΩ

The voltage gain, Vo

⇒ Vo = RC/re

      = 6.5kΩ/250Ω = 26(no units).
