Abstract:
1. A data receiver comprising: a first input terminal configured to receive a first input signal from a transmission channel having a low pass transfer function; a first self-biased common gate amplifier coupled to the first input terminal; and a first output terminal coupled to the first self-biased common gate amplifier; a second input terminal configured to receive an input signal from the transmission channel, wherein the first input signal and the second input signal form a differential input signal; a second self-biased common gate amplifier coupled to the second input terminal; and a second output terminal coupled to the second self-biased common oate amplifier, wherein the first and second output terminals are configured to provide a differential output signal; a first input pad coupled to the first input terminal, wherein the first input pad is directly connected to the first self-biased common gate amplifier; and a second input pad coupled to the second input terminal, wherein the second input pad is directly connected to the second self-biased common date amplifier, and wherein the first and second input pads are configured to receive the differential input signal from the transmission channel.
