摘要：Single input receivers and “pseudo differential” amplifiers can conserve scarce chip surface area and still provide fast response times in a low power CMOS environment.
A first embodiment includes a single ended receiver. The single ended receiver includes a pair of cross coupled inverters. Each of the inverters includes a pair of output
transmission lines. A single signal input node coupled to a source region for one of the pair of cross coupled inverters and to a current mirror such that the single ended receiver is able to convert a single ended input current received at the single signal input node into a differential input signal. A second embodiment includes a pseudo differential amplifier. The pseudo differential amplifier includes a pair of cross coupled transistors. The pseudo differential amplifier includes a pair of signal output nodes. A single signal input node is coupled to a source region for one of the transistors in the pair of cross coupled transistors and to a current mirror such that the pseudo differential amplifier is able to convert a single ended input current received at the single signal input node into a differential input signal. Methods of operation and methods of forming the single ended receivers and pseudo differential amplifiers are similarly included. The single ended receivers and pseudo differential amplifiers are fabricated in a streamlined CMOS process and provide responsive performance for single input current signal 2.0 mA and lower.
