摘要:
An input buffer circuit receives data from a single ended transmission line (56) and provides an output signal (62) in one or two states in response to the state of the signal on the input (56). The circuit has hysteresis with temperature stable upper and lower threshold levels (V th , Vt 1 ). Temperature stability is achieved by providing first and second temperature dependent reference currents (I ref , I ref2 ), one with a positive temperature coefficient and one with a negative temperature coefficient, and by adjusting the temperature coefficients of the first and second reference currents (I ref , l ref2 ) so that the overall effect of all of the temperature coefficients of the circuit is substantially zero.

A differential signal receiver comprising a differential amplifier (15, 16, 17, 18, 23) for comparing differential voltages of differential input signals (Vi 1 , Vi 2 ) with a threshold voltage (Va, Vb), to provide logical output signals includes an emitter follower (19, 21) and an impedance means (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). The outputs of the emitter followers (19, 21) are superimposed through the impedance means (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) on the differential input signals (Vi 1 , Vi 2 ) so that the threshold voltage is variable and is controlled by controlling the input voltage (Ve, Vf) of the emitter follower (19, 21). This differential signal receiver has the advantage that a constant «1» or «0» level output signal is generated for a zero input signal and so provides a signal receiver having a high noise tolerance.

An improved programmable comparator circuit having a pair of differential inputs (VN, VP), that will, through respective identical resistor networks (16, 30, 17, 31), turn on a first current switch (22, 23) for comparing the differential of the inputs to a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is established by the voltage created when a selected current is drawn through one of said resistor networks, such that a bias current, through one of the transistors forming the first current switch, and through a second current switch (12, 13) establishes a hysteresis current through one of the transistors forming the second current switch. Positive feed back means (28, 29, D1-D4) coupled to the output of said first current switch (22, 23) control the second current switch (12, 13).
