A data receiver and data receiving method using signal integration and capable of reducing high-frequency noises generated upon high-speed data detection. The data receiver includes an integration amplification circuit receiving at least two differential reference signals and N (where N is a natural number greater than zero) data signals and integrating and amplifying differences between the at least two differential reference signals and one or more of the N data signals and outputting at least first differential signals and at least second differential signals and a detection amplification circuit for receiving the at least first differential signals and the at least second differential signals and detecting a difference between the at least first differential signals and the at least second differential signals to detect a value of one or more of the N data signals The data receiver and data receiving method, using signal integration, can reduce high-frequency noises generated when data is detected at a high speed. The data receiver and data receiving method, where signals inputted through two reference signal lines and one data line are integrated and amplified to detect data, provide accurate data detection at a high speed using differential signaling, irrespective of changes in a process, voltage level, or temperature.

A comparator compares a first voltage applied to a first input to a second voltage applied to a second input. The comparator delivers an output signal having a first value when the second voltage is higher than the first voltage, and having a second value when the second voltage is lower than the first voltage. The comparator includes first and second PMOS transistors arranged as current mirrors. The first PMOS transistor has its source connected to the first input of the comparator for receiving the first voltage. The second PMOS transistor has its source connected to the second input of the comparator for receiving the second voltage. The output of the comparator is connected to the drain of one of the transistors.

Circuitry is disclosed for detection of open inputs on an enhanced differential receiver. A pulldown terminator is coupled to the inputs of the enhanced differential receiver. If the differential inputs are not actively driven, the voltage on both differential inputs will be pulled to a predetermined voltage. When the voltage on the differential inputs reach a reference voltage, an active device detects that the reference voltage has been reached, and produces a predetermined logic value on an output of the enhanced differential receiver. The enhanced differential receiver is not subject to oscillation when not actively driven. Delay through the enhanced differential receiver is not substantially greater than delay through a conventional differential receiver consisting of only a differential amplifier.

In a processing system, a glitch protection circuit receives a strobe signal and a data receiver captures a data signal in response to an output from the glitch protection circuit. Several embodiments are disclosed. In a first embodiment, a glitch protection circuit generates an output that represents a logical multiplication of a strobe signal with a delayed version of itself. In another embodiment, a pair of glitch protection circuits each sense a strobe transition and become dormant until its partner senses a strobe transition. The pair operates in a toggling fashion.

A circuit for extracting a common mode data signal applied to a plurality of component signals. The circuit including a current driver, resistance, and a common mode extraction unit connected in series. The extraction unit has an impedance substantially proportional to the average voltage of the applied input signals and may be formed of a series of matched transistors connected in parallel. In a single-path configuration, when pairs of differential signals are applied, the voltage drop across the extraction unit is proportional to the overall common mode signal level carried by the differential signal components. In a multiple path configuration, two or more extraction units may be connected to a common current driver and configured in a differential amplifier configuration.

A full rail-to-rail CMOS comparator is provided. The comparator includes a gain stage and a bias stage. The bias stage is responsive to the common mode input voltage level to provide a bias signal that maintains the gain stage with an optimum operating range regardless of the level of the common mode input voltage, thus maintaining the comparator output responsive to the differential input voltage. Accordingly, when operating in the optimum operating range, duty cycle distortion of the signal at the comparator output is minimized. The comparator also offers improved performance due to a lower component count and fewer comparator stages, thus decreasing power consumption and improving propagation delays.

A multistage analog circuit for independently controlling a bias current in each stage of the multistage analog circuit having an input stage, an intermediate stage, and an output stage, includes a first current source which controls the input stage of the circuit, a second current source which controls the intermediate stage of the circuit, and a third current source which controls the output stage of the circuit. The bias current in each stage of the circuit is set by the first, second, and third current sources. An output voltage of the circuit is capable of remaining the same when the first current source is changed to affect an input transconductance of the circuit.
