Abstract:
A terminating receiver for an integrated circuit and connectable to a transmission line characterized by a transmission line characteristic impedance, comprising:a differential receiver having a receiver input connectable to said transmission line, said differential receiver comprising at least one n-channel transistor and at least one p-channel transistor; a termination circuit connected to said receiver input in parallel with said transmission line, said termination circuit characterized by a termination impedance substantially equal to said transmission line characteristic impedance and comprising at least one p-channel transistor and at least one n-channel transistor; wherein said at least one p-channel transistor of said differential receiver and said at least one p-channel transistor of said termination circuit are ratio to vary similarly under process, voltage, temperature (PVT) variation, and said at least one n-channel transistor of said differential receiver and said at least one n-channel transistor of said termination circuit are ratio to vary similarly under PVT variation.
