Patent ID: 7126383

Claim:
In a signal receiver having a first comparator for comparing an incoming signal and a continuously oscillating voltage reference to produce a first result, a second comparator for comparing the incoming signal and a complement of the continuously oscillating voltage reference to product a second result, and steering logic for coupling one of the first result and the second result to an output terminal, a method comprising: defining a time t 1 to be a first moment when the incoming signal if transitioning crosses one of the continuously oscillating voltage reference and the complement; defining a time t 2 to be a second moment when the incoming signal if not transitioning is at about a predetermined difference of the one of the continuously oscillating voltage reference and the complement; and configuring the steering logic to cause any change in coupling the one of the first result and the second result to the output terminal to occur about at a time between the time t 1 and the time t 2 .
