Abstract

See full text

An embodiment of the invention is directed to a method of automatically adjusting a common mode output level of a first differential amplifier that is connected to a first digital circuit, in response to variation in a trip point level of a second digital circuit. The second digital circuit includes a replicate of the first digital circuit to generate a trip point level that is equivalent to a trip point level of the first digital circuit. The invention may yield a single-ended digital signal whose duty cycle accurately tracks that of an input differential signal pair in a manner that is substantially independent of fabrication process skew.
