The chapter discusses the concepts of single-ended and differential signaling, highlighting the importance of differentiating between common mode and differential signals in amplifiers. It also covers the operational principles and modeling of differential amplifiers, emphasizing the significance of differential mode gain and common mode gain in achieving desired output characteristics. Lastly, it touches on the mathematical representation of these gains and their implications for signal processing.

Term: Differential Signaling
Definition: A method of transmitting signals using two complementary signals to enhance noise immunity.
Term: Common Mode Signal
Definition: The component of the signal that is the same in both inputs to the amplifier and can cause distortion if not properly managed.
Term: Differential Gain
Definition: The amplification applied to the difference between the two input signals, aimed at strengthening the desired signal.
Term: Common Mode Gain
Definition: The amplification of the common mode signal, which ideally should be minimized to prevent distortion.
