ABSTRACT:
A method for resolving differential signals is provided which quickly and efficiently recognizes signals by resolving differences between the signals using a resolving circuit which is powered by a clock signal. The resolving circuit operates with supply voltage levels as low as one threshold voltage. Also, the signal hold time can be made very small depending on the sizing of certain transistors. Other advantages include reduced power consumption, high speed operation, good rejection of input noise and power supply noise, ability to resolve small (e.g., 1.0 mVolt) voltage differences, and the ability to function with a variety of types of drivers, including HSTL, DTL and PECL.
