US 2013/0257308 A1 · RECEIVER CIRCUIT FOR RECEIVING AN INPUT SIGNAL

Abstract

A receiver circuit for receiving an input signal (IDD, UDD) comprises a detector circuit (111, 111a, 111b, 111c, 111d, 111e, 111f), which is in the form of a sample-and-hold circuit for determining a reference level of the input signal or in the form of a filter circuit for generating a mean value of levels of the input signal (IDD, UDD). The detector circuit generates, on the output side, a referential signal (RS), which is supplied to comparator circuits (113a, 113b, 113c, 113d, 115a, 115b, 115c, 115d). The comparator circuits (113a, 113b, 113c, 113d, 115a, 115b, 115c, 115d) compare an offset level of the input signal (IDD, UDD) with the referential signal (RS) and generate data signals (DATA, DH, DL). The offset input signals (IDD, UDD) are evaluated relatively in respect of the reference level or the mean value of the levels of the input signal.
