Diff Amps

The document discusses different modes of operation and characteristics of differential amplifiers. It covers BJT and MOSFET differential pairs, current mirrors, analysis of common-mode and differential-mode signals, equivalent circuit models, and types of active and passive loads that can be used. It also lists references used for more information on electronics circuits.
