ABSTRACT:
A differential receiver that includes a first input, a second input, and an output has a first signal path from the first input to the output, the first signal path including a first differential amplifier and a first active load. The first differential amplifier has an end connected to a first power supply voltage and a second end connected to a second power supply voltage and the first active load. The first differential amplifier also has a connection to the first input and the second input, and the first active load has a connection to the output. The receiver also has a second signal path from the second input to the output, the second signal path including a second differential amplifier and a second active load. The second differential amplifier has an end connected to a first power supply voltage and a second end connected to a second power supply voltage and the second active load. The second differential amplifier has a connection to the first input and the second input, and the second active load has a connection to the output. The first signal path and the second signal path both have the same number of devices and are configured to minimize skew at the output to less than about one nanosecond.
