Receiver circuit

Abstract

A receiver circuit comprising: an input-pin; a receiver-input-node; a ground-pin; an internal-node that is connected to the input-pin; and a MOSFET. The MOSFET has a conduction channel connected in series between the internal-node and the receiver-input-terminal; and a gate terminal, the voltage at which sets the conductivity of the conduction channel. The receiver circuit also includes an amplifier that: has an input terminal that is connected to the internal-node; and provides a voltage control signal to the gate terminal of the MOSFET such that the voltage at the internal-node with respect to the ground-pin is constant.
