\section{Topologies}
\paragraph{Differential gain of diff-pair} $U_d$ is the \emph{one-legged} bias drop.
\[H_{D\rightarrow D} = \frac{U_d}{\Vt}\]
\section{Noise models}
At room temperature, $\kbT = q\Vt = 4\cdot 10^{-21} \unit\joule.$
\paragraph{Johnson noise} Typical power density is $4\kbT$, therefore \(e_n = \sqrt{4\kbT R}\) and
\(i_n = \sqrt{\kbT / R}\). At 1 \unit{\kilo\ohm}, we have \(e_n = 4 \unit{\nano\volt\per\sqrt{\hertz}}\)
or, equivalently, \(i_n = 4 \unit{\pico\ampere\per\sqrt{\hertz}}\).
\paragraph{BJT noise} We have $i_{n,B} = \sqrt{2qI_C/\beta_{\mathrm{DC}}}$ at high frequencies. Below
a few hundred \unit\hertz, there is flicker noise. The collector's "shot noise" is caused by an equivalent
voltage noise in series with $r_\pi$, \[e_{n, BE} = \sqrt{2qI_C}/g_m = \Vt \sqrt{2q/I_C}.\]
At \(I_C = 1 \unit{\milli\ampere}\) we have \(e_{n,BE} = 0.44 \unit{\nano\volt\per\sqrt{\hertz}}\).
At high $I_C$ one needs to take into account a base-spreading resistance in
series with the base $r_{bb'}$. It is typically a few hundred ohm, and is smaller
for larger transistors.
