The chapter covers the analysis of differential amplifiers, specifically focusing on their common mode and differential mode responses. It highlights the behavior of these amplifiers under various signal conditions, including small and large signal analyses. Emphasis is placed on understanding the role of DC operating points and the significance of common mode and differential gains in practical applications.

Term: Differential Mode Gain
Definition: The gain of the differential amplifier when the input signals at the two terminals are out of phase.
Term: Common Mode Gain
Definition: The gain of the differential amplifier when the input signals at both terminals are identical.
Term: DC Operating Point
Definition: The point on the output characteristics of an amplifier that corresponds to a specific biasing condition and determines its active operating state.
Term: Common Mode Range
Definition: The range of common mode input voltages for which the amplifier retains proper linear operation.
Term: Pseudo Differential Mode
Definition: A mode of operation where one input terminal is grounded while a differential signal is applied to another, leading to a near differential response.
