Differential Amplifier
An electronic circuit that amplifies the difference between two voltages and suppresses any signals that are common to both inputs.
Common Mode Gain
The gain of the amplifier for signals that are present simultaneously and in phase on both inputs; ideally it should be zero for effective differential amplification.
Differential Mode Gain
The gain of the amplifier for signals that differ between the two inputs; a higher gain indicates better amplification of the desired signal.
Differential Signaling
A technique for transmitting signals in the form of a pair of complementary signals to reduce noise and improve transmission reliability.
Fully Differential Amplifier
An amplifier with differential inputs and outputs, allowing it to handle signals fully in a differential manner to maintain signal integrity.
