ABSTRACT:
A slicer with large input common mode range is provided. The slicer includes an input stage coupled to receive an input signal, a current source for providing current for the input stage, a self-biased load coupled to the input stage to provide an initial output signal, and an inverter for inverting the initial output signal to provide a final output signal. The input stage includes a first circuit including a plurality of transistors and a complimentary circuit including a plurality of transistors. When a low common mode input voltage causes the transistors of the first circuit to turn off, the transistors of the complimentary circuit will take over to accomplish the same task as the first circuit.
