Greetings! I am new to this forum and am a junior in Electrical Engineering. I am in need of some help on a project. This was a group project for school but I got screwed over by my 2 lab partners so I'm left doing this on my own and electronics aren't exactly my expertise compared to other areas I'm studying.
I have to design a BJT Differential Amplifier in which part of the overall design involves designing a current source.
Requirements:
- ±10V voltage supplies
- single ended output difference mode gain ≧ 100
- common mode gain ≦ 0.1
- CMRR ≧ 60 dB
- output voltage swing (peak to peak) ≧ 6V (symmetric)
- BJT array chip preferred for the input stages (i have no clue what this is)
Any ideas for how to get started? I've been using google a LOT and reading the book but I'm still confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've always had trouble with electronics and I have no interest in pursuing this field of electrical engineering when I graduate (nothing against electronics, i'm thankful people are good at it). I'm wanting to focus on electrical energy systems and power grid planning and design.
