    Abstract: A signal detector includes an input to receive a differential signal, a generator to generate a first voltage based on the differential signal and a second voltage based on the first voltage and a predetermined voltage, and an output stage to output a detection signal based on the first voltage and the second voltage. The differential signal includes a first signal and a second signal. The detection signal has a first value when a difference between the first and second signals is in a first range and a second value when the difference between the first and second signals is in a second range. The detection signal may indicate the presence or absence of low frequency periodic signaling for the differential signal. Such a detector may demonstrate fast response and operate at low-current.

    Abstract: An electronic circuit, including an equalizer circuit to input a differential signal, a rectifier circuit to receive the differential signal and output a first current and a second current, a replica circuit to receive a differential threshold signal and output a third current and a fourth current to compensate for PVT variations in the first and second currents, and a comparator circuit configured to compare a differential voltage generated based on the first, second, third, and fourth currents to determine a loss of signal event of the electronic circuit.
