Why does replacing the tail resistor with a current source improve rejection?

  • A.It reduces the differential gain proportionally
  • B.It matches the two devices more closely
  • C.Its dynamic impedance is far higher
  • D.It draws less current from the supply

Answer: C

A current source presents hundreds of kilohms of dynamic impedance where a practical resistor might present a few kilohms, and the common-mode gain falls in proportion. Its standing current is whatever the design chooses, the differential gain is untouched, and it does nothing about device matching. Improving the numerator of a ratio while leaving the denominator alone is the cleanest possible improvement, and this is a textbook case of it. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
