SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the BJT Differential Amplifier, specifically on determining the maximum and minimum values of the common-mode input voltage. It is established that these values depend on the input circuit configuration, as well as the transistor's beta and the resistor values. The amplifier's role is to partially reject the common-mode input voltage, emphasizing the importance of understanding the input circuit's influence on performance.

Doesn't that depend on the input circuit? I mean, that is an input to the amplifier. All the amplifier itself can do is to partially reject the common mode input voltage that is given to it.
