Abstract

A receiver includes a bias current source, a comparator and an output circuit. The bias current source is powered by a first voltage source, and generates a bias current according to a second voltage source. The first voltage source is higher than the second voltage source. The comparator, coupled to the bias current source, compares two input signals to generate a comparison signal according to the bias current. The output circuit is powered by the second voltage source, and generates an output signal according to the comparison signal. The output signal and the second voltage source belong to the same power domain.
