ABSTRACT:
A signal receiver for an interface of an MPU or a memory has a differential amplifier for receiving an input signal from an input/output line for the IPU and the memory, an inverter for receiving the output of the differential amplifier, and a feed-back section for providing the signal receiver with a transfer characteristic having a hysteresis with respect to the input signal of tile signal receiver. The feed-back section includes a feed-back signal path and a feed-back current path formed between a supply line and the output of the differential amplifier. The output signal of the gate is feed-backed to the feed-back current path as a control signal for making the feed-back current path active or inactive to shift tile voltage level of the output of the differential amplifier. The gate is not operated by a transient oscillation of the input signal so that unnecessary power consumption due to tile transient oscillation of the input of tile signal receiver is avoided.
