The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of single-ended versus differential signaling along with an introduction to the basic model of a differential amplifier. It highlights the differences in operation and configuration between single-ended and differential amplifiers while discussing circuit activation, signal feeding techniques, and the importance of differential signal pairs. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the components of differential signaling, including differential mode signals and common mode signals, as well as the mathematical relationships among them.

Term: SingleEnded Amplifier
Definition: An amplifier that accepts one signal input relative to a common ground, amplifying the voltage or current signal.
Term: Differential Amplifier
Definition: An amplifier that accepts two signals, amplifying the difference between the two input signals while rejecting signals that are common to both.
Term: Common Mode Signal
Definition: The component of a differential signal that is common to both inputs, which can negatively impact the performance of differential amplifiers if not properly managed.
Term: Differential Mode Signal
Definition: The difference between two signals in a differential amplifier, which is the desired signal to be amplified.
