text: (also known as a " " or " phase splitter", especially in the context of vacuum tube implementations); a transistor implementation is shown in the diagram; a differential pair amplifier can form a phase splitter in two ways: if the shared emitter (or cathode or source, for triodes or FETs) connection is fed from something approximating a constant current sink (for example, a relatively large value resistor with a significant voltage drop, i.e. a long-tailed pair) then only one input (base, grid or gate) need be driven with signal; the shared connection will vary in voltage with half the amplitude of the input, becoming an input to the second device (which acts as a common-base, or common-grid/gate amplifier).
