ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, an input buffer is utilized to first amplify a differential clock or data signal pair to a desired voltage level before being presented to a CMOS or NMOS differential amplifier. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a PECL input buffer is comprised of a plurality of n-channel transistors which are capable of quickly amplifying the voltage level of the differential input signal pair.
