�Current sources made by using active devices have come to be widely used in
analog integrated circuits as Biasing elements and as load devices for amplifier
stages
�The use of current sources in biasing can result in superior insensitivity of circuit
performance to power supply variations and to temperature

�Output voltage Voc is very sensitive to the voltage at the base of Q6,
which is influence by Iref2.
�Example:
If Iref1 and Iref2 are different by 4% , the output voltage Voc will change by
about 2V.
The same change result from a 1mV mismatch between Q6 And Q7.

Device Mismatch Effects:
� Presence of Component mismatches within the Amplifier itself and drifts
of component values with Temperature produce differential voltages at the
output that are indistinguishable from the signal being amplified.
� For Transistor Differential Amplifiers the effect of mismatches is represented
by two Quantities,the input offset voltage and the input offset current.

� For a Resistive Load the Input Offset Voltage arises mainly due to the
mismatches in Is in the Input Transistors and from mismatches in the
collector load Resistors.
� For an Active Load the input offset voltage results from mismatches in the input Transistors and load devices and from the base current of the load devices.

CMRR of the resistively loaded stage is the inverse of the � of the current source Transistor when a simple current source is used as a biasing element.

For an active-loaded case
�In case of Resistively loaded case ,changes in the common Mode input will cause
changes in the bias current IEE because of the finite output resistance of the biasing
current source.This will cause a change in Ic2 and an identical change in Ic1.
�Because of the active load ,the change in Ic1 will produce a change in the currents
flowing in the pnp load transistors ,which produces a change in the collecter current
of Q2.So the output does not change at all in response to common Mode Inputs.
