Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An input receiver circuit including a single-to-differential amplifier and a semiconductor device including the input receiver circuit are disclosed. The input receiver circuit includes a first stage amplifier unit and a second stage amplifier unit. The first stage amplifier unit amplifies a single input signal in a single-to-differential mode to generate a differential output signal, without using a reference voltage. The second stage amplifier unit amplifies the differential output signal in a differential-to-single mode to generate a single output signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An input receiver circuit, comprising: a first stage amplifier unit configured to amplify a single input signal in a single-to-differential mode to generate a differential output signal, without using a reference voltage; and a second stage amplifier unit configured to amplify the differential output signal in a differential-to-single mode to generate a single output signal, wherein the first stage amplifier unit includes: a common-source amplifier con…
