Sub-rate low-swing data receiver |
摘要 |
A receiver is adapted to receive an input signal having a first voltage swing and to generate an output signal having a second voltage swing, the output signal being indicative of the input signal, the second voltage swing being greater than the first voltage swing. The receiver includes a first sub-rate receiver block and at least a second sub-rate receiver block. A receiver clock is divided into a first sub-rate clock phase and at least a second sub-rate clock phase, the first sub-rate clock phase being used to drive the first sub-rate receiver block and the second sub-rate clock phase being used to drive the second sub-rate receiver block. Each of the first sub-rate receiver block and the second sub-rate receiver block includes at least one gated-diode sense amplifier. |

1. A receiver adapted to receive an input signal having a first voltage swing and to generate an output signal having a second voltage swing, the output signal being indicative of the input signal, the second voltage swing being greater than the first voltage swing, the receiver comprising:
a first sub-rate receiver block; and at least a second sub-rate receiver block, wherein a receiver clock is divided into a first sub-rate clock phase and at least a second sub-rate clock phase, the first sub-rate clock phase being used to drive the first sub-rate receiver block and the second sub-rate clock phase being used to drive the second sub-rate receiver block; and further wherein each of the first sub-rate receiver block and the second sub-rate receiver block comprises at least one gated-diode sense amplifier. |
