Signaling systems, preamplifiers, memory devices and methods

A memory device, comprising:

• an array of memory cells;
• at least one transmitter configured to receive a first digital signal and to provide to a signal path a transmitted signal corresponding to the digital signal;
• and
• at least one receiver system, each receiver system comprising:
• a preamplifier coupled to receive the transmitted signal from the signal path, the preamplifier being configured to provide an amplified signal corresponding to the transmitted signal received by the preamplifier, the preamplifier comprising a common-gate amplifying transistor;
• and
• a receiver coupled to receive the amplified signal from the preamplifier, the receiver being configured to provide a second digital signal corresponding to the amplified signal received by the receiver.

A method, comprising:

• serializing parallel data to generate a digital signal having a first signal swing;
• receiving the digital signal;
• amplifying the digital signal to generate an amplified signal having a second signal swing, the second signal swing based, at least in part, on a bias voltage;
• bleeding current from an input node to a supply voltage node,
• wherein the bias voltage is based, at least in part, on a reference voltage.
