ABSTRACT:
A circuit assembly for converting a differential input clock signal pair into a single-ended output clock signal comprises a NMOS differential amplifier (20) including two N-channel field-effect transistors (N1, N2) which converts the input clock signal pair (CLK, NCLK) applied to its differential inputs into a first single-ended signal, a PMOS differential amplifier (22) including two P-channel field-effect transistors (P3, P4) which converts the input clock signal pair applied to its differential inputs into a second single-ended signal, a bias circuit (N5, N6, N7, P5, P6) generating for each differential amplifier a bias voltage defining its working point at which said field-effect transistors (N1, N2; P3, P4) change state as a function of said input clock signal pair (CLK, NCLK), and a NAND circuit (32) for linking said first and said second single-ended signal and outputting the single-ended output clock signal (A-CLK) as the result thereof.
