Abstract:
A circuit comprising: an input terminal configured to receive an input-signal; an output terminal configured to provide an output-signal; a reference circuit comprising: a first output terminal configured to provide a first-reference-signal; a second output terminal configured to provide a second-reference-signal; and a third output terminal configured to provide a third-reference-signal. A comparator-block configured to compare a comparator-input-voltage-signal representative of signalling received at the input terminal with: (i) the first-reference-signal, (ii) the second-reference-signal and (iii) the third-reference-signal in order to generate a comparison-signal. A control-block configured to set the output-signal as one of at least two voltage levels based on the comparison-signal; and an input-control-circuit configured to apply a feedback-control-signal to the input-terminal based on the comparison-signal.

Claim (Index 6):
The circuit of  claim 2 , wherein the first-reference-signal is periodic and comprises:\n a rising-signal-portion that rises from a bottom-level via a midpoint-level to a top-level; a falling-signal-portion that falls from the top-level via the midpoint-level to the bottom-level; wherein:\n the fourth-reference signal is an inverted, or a phase shifted, representation of the first-reference-signal; \n the second-reference-signal is a low-signal-portion, representative of the low-value; and \n the third-reference-signal is a high-signal-portion, representative of the high-value.
