A differential amplifier has an upper/lower and a left/right symmetric structure. The differential amplifier improves output voltage swings and gain without the need for additional circuits for driving current sources or voltage sources. The differential amplifier includes a first current source, a second current source, a first inverter, a second inverter and a self bias control circuit. The first current source and the second current source provide a first bias current and a second bias current. The self bias control circuit maintains the first bias current and the second bias current at a constant level. Therefore, the differential amplifier provides constant current without additional circuits for driving current sources or voltage sources, and achieves a wider range of voltage output swings and a higher gain, as compared to conventional differential amplifier configurations. |
