ABSTRACT:
A CMOS based input buffer suitable for use with PECL or LVPECL voltage levels is described. The input buffer utilizes a differential voltage comparator that employs positive feedback to provide input hysteresis, symmetric headroom and increased noise immunity. In addition, the input buffer can utilize a reference voltage that is substantially constant over process, voltage, and temperature.
