Abstract
Various embodiments provide for a data sampler with one or more capacitive digital-to-analog converters (DACs) for adjusting a threshold voltage range of the data sampler. According to some embodiments, two or more capacitive DACs can be used to set a threshold voltage for a data sampler and, by doing so, serve as a trigger mechanism for the data sampler.
