摘要： A squelch circuit for operating at high speed and at high frequencies includes a squelch input unit, a low swing pre-amplifier and a sampling and decision circuit. The squelch input unit pre-processes the positive and negative signals of an input signal to generate four pre-processed signals that are paired and sent to the low swing pre-amplifier. The outputs of the low-swing pre-amplifier are then over-sampled by the sampling and decision circuit. Multi-phase clocks are used to control the over-sampling in the sampling and decision circuit. A logic circuit then determines if the state of the input signal based on multiple samples.

摘要： The present invention discloses a current feedback operational amplifier, whose input ends are connected to a first amplifier which transmits an output to the gate terminals of at least one input pair of current switches, and the source terminal of one transistor of the input pair of current switches is connected to one of the input ends. Therefore, a negative feedback loop will be established by the first amplifier and the input pair of current switches. By means of the negative feedback loop, the input impedance, offset voltage and gain error are all reduced. The input impedance of the present invention is reduced as 1/1+A times as the original one. Therefore, the aspect ratio of the transistors of the input pair of current switches is reduced.
