The output impedance of the differential current source seen from terminals 2 and 3 is the impedance seen from terminal 2 to the resistor R5 side, and the impedance seen from terminal 3 because the transmission gain of the voltage between terminals 2 and 3 and the voltage between terminals and Q is +1. The impedance seen from the resistor R6 side becomes infinite. Therefore, the output impedance is the sum of the resistors R1 to R4. The unbalance between terminals 2 and 3 can be detected by resistors R7 and R8. This usually changes the impedance of resistors R1 to R4 to resistors R5 and R6.
This is possible because it is sufficiently large compared to . The midpoint between resistor R7 and resistor R8 is the balance detection terminal.
