2.7.3. Planned Coverage of Topics

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does single-ended signaling rely on?

   Hint

   It's one wire versus two.

2. 2.

   Name one advantage of differential signaling.

   Hint

   Think of resilience in wires.

3. 3.

   What is the advantage of differential signaling?

   • Lower complexity
   • Reduced noise interference
   • Simplicity

   Hint

   Think about how signals can be affected by outside disturbances.

4. 4.

   True or False: Differential amplifiers amplify the sum of two input signals.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   What is the focus of the amplification in their structure?

5. 5.

   If a differential amplifier has input voltages of 3V and 1V, calculate the output voltage if the differential gain is 10.

   Hint

   Focus on the difference between the input signals.

6. 6.

   Design a circuit where a single-ended signal's noise level is higher than that of a differential signal. Explain your reasoning.

   Hint

   Compare the wiring methods and external interference.
