For a given power supply voltage then, a differential system produces signals of twice the amplitude and therefore has twice as good noise immunity (6 dB higher signal-to-noise ratio) as a single-ended system. The main advantage of single-ended over differential signaling is that fewer wires are needed to transmit multiple signals. If there are ...
Contrary to popular belief, differential signalling does not affect noise cancellation. Balanced lines with differential receivers will reject noise regardless of whether the signal is differential or single-ended, [1] [2] but since balanced line noise rejection requires a differential receiver anyway, differential signalling is often used on balanced lines.
In parallel transmissions multiple data differential pairs carry several signals at once including a clock signal to synchronize the data. In serial communications, multiple single-ended signals are serialized into a single differential pair with a data rate equal to that of all the combined single-ended channels.
Differential TTL is used in preference to single-ended TTL for long-distance signaling. [4] In a long cable, stray electromagnetic fields in the environment, or stray currents in the system ground, can induce unwanted voltages that cause errors at the receiver. With a differential pair of wires, roughly the same unwanted voltage is induced in ...
The differential pair can be used as an amplifier with a single-ended input if one of the inputs is grounded or fixed to a reference voltage (usually, the other collector is used as a single-ended output) This arrangement can be thought of as cascaded common-collector and common-base stages or as a buffered common-base stage.

This type of receiver rejects common-mode noise and converts the incoming differential signals to the single-ended form required by downstream logic circuits. In mission-critical systems, an encoder interface may be required to detect loss of input signals due to encoder power loss, signal driver failure, cable fault or cable disconnect.
As noted above, it is possible to drive a balanced line with a single-ended signal and still maintain the line balance. This is represented in outline in figure 7. The amplifier driving one leg of the line through a resistor is assumed to be an ideal (that is, zero output impedance) single-ended output amp.
The signals only need to reference each other. Some differential transmitters use a ground reference for each signal but a transformer-coupled transmitter does not. ~Kvng 23:43, 14 February 2022 (UTC) As SpinningSpark pointed out, once a signal passes through a transformer it's no longer differential or single-ended – it's floating.
