Patent ID: 8731506

Claim:
A device comprising: an input receiving stage to receive a single-ended voltage signal; an input stage coupled with the input receiving stage, the input stage including a first input stage and a second input stage, wherein at least one of the first input stage or the second input stage is configured to provide inductive degeneration to the single-ended voltage signal, and an input node of the first input stage and an input node of the second input stage are connected with an output node of the input receiving stage; a first converting stage coupled with the first input stage to convert the single-ended voltage signal into a first single-ended current signal, the first input stage coupled between the input receiving stage and the first converting stage; a second converting stage coupled with the second input stage to convert the single-ended voltage signal into a second single-ended current signal, the second input stage coupled between the input receiving stage and the second converting stage; and an output stage to output a differential output including the first single-ended current signal and the second single-ended current signal.
