Abstract

See full text

An apparatus includes a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit. The first circuit may be configured to (i) reduce a current value in a sequence of input values that have been carried on a single-ended line of a data bus coupled to a memory channel to generate a version of the current value, and (ii) reduce a first reference voltage to generate a second reference voltage. The second circuit may be configured to slice the current value with respect to the first reference voltage to generate a first intermediate value. The third circuit may be configured to slice the version of the current value with respect to the second reference voltage to generate a second intermediate value. The first intermediate value and the second intermediate value generally define a sliced value of the current value.
