    Abstract: A reception circuit includes a determination circuit including comparator circuits configured to determinate a level of a received signal and a logic circuit configured to generate a digital signal based on outputs of the comparator circuits. The determination circuit is configured to determinate by a first number of the comparator circuits when the received signal is a first signal which is a multi-valued signal and determinate by a second number of the comparator circuits, the second number being smaller than the first number, when the received signal is a second signal. The logic circuit is configured to operate as a decoder which decodes outputs of the comparator circuits and generates the digital signal when the received signal is the first signal, and operates as a selector which selects an output of the comparator circuit for generating the digital signal when the received signal is the second signal.

    Abstract: A sampling switch circuit, including an input node, which receives an input voltage signal to be sampled, a sampling transistor having gate, source and drain terminals, the source terminal connected to the input node, a capacitor, a current source configured to cause a defined current to flow therethrough and switching circuitry configured to alternate between a precharge configuration and an output configuration depending upon a clock signal. In the precharge configuration, the switching circuitry connects the capacitor into a current path between said current source and a first voltage reference node to form a potential difference across the capacitor which is dependent on the defined current. In the output configuration, the switching circuitry connects the capacitor between a second voltage reference node and the gate terminal of the sampling transistor so that a voltage level applied at the gate terminal of the sampling transistor is dependent on the defined current.
