Abstract
Apparatuses for receiving an input signal in a semiconductor device are described. An example apparatus includes: a first amplifier that provides first and second intermediate voltages responsive to first and second input voltages; first and second voltage terminals; a circuit node; a first transistor coupled between the first voltage terminal and the circuit node and is turned on responsive to at least one of the first and second intermediate voltages; a second amplifier including first and second inverters, at least one of the first and second inverters being coupled between the circuit node and the second voltage terminal; and first and second output nodes, the first output node being coupled to an input node of the first inverter and an output node of the second inverter, and the second output node being coupled to an output node of the first inverter and an input node of the second inverter.
