Integrating receiver with precharge circuitry

A multiphase receiver integrated circuit device, comprising:

• a first receive path, comprising:
• a first sense amplifier comprising a first input to receive a first signal representing a first bit, the first sense amplifier to produce a decision regarding a first logic level of the first signal;
• first circuitry to precharge the first input of the first sense amplifier by applying to the first input a portion of a previous signal representing a previous bit;
• and
• a first latch to output the first logic level;
• and
• a second receive path, comprising:
• a second sense amplifier comprising a second input to receive a second signal representing a second bit, the second sense amplifier to produce a decision regarding a second logic level of the second signal;
• second circuitry to precharge the second input of the second sense amplifier by applying to the second input a portion of the first signal;
• and
• a second latch to output the second logic level.
