Abstract
A serial signal detector and a differential signal detection method are provided. The serial signal detector includes a voltage comparison module and a hybrid logic filter. The voltage comparison module receives a differential signal, including a first shifted signal and a second shifted signal. The voltage comparison module includes a first comparator and a second comparator. Based on the first shifted signal, the second shifted signal, and a voltage threshold, the first and the second comparators respectively generate a first and a second comparison signals. The hybrid logic filter includes a controllable logic gate and a capacitor. The controllable logic gate performs a logic operation related to the first and the second comparison signals and generates a filtered and converted pulse accordingly. The controllable logic gate and the capacitor jointly perform a preliminary filtering operation to the filtered and converted pulse while the logic operation is being performed.
