Abstract
A differential amplifier comprising a first upper device and a first lower device series coupled between two power supplies and a second upper device and a second lower device series coupled between the two power supplies. A first DC voltage enables the first upper device and the second upper device and a second DC voltage regulates current flow in the first lower device and the second lower device. An AC signal component is coupled to the first upper device and the second lower device while the AC signal complement is coupled to the first lower device and the second upper device. Separate RC networks couple the AC signals to their respective device. A first and second output signal forms between the upper device and the lower device, respectively. All the devices are same channel type.
