Abstract
A digital receiver (40) includes a differential amplifier (42) providing data signal E and a control signal F. The level of the control signal F is related to the average level of the data signal E. A slicing circuit 44 includes series connected transistors (46, 48), the gates of which receive the data signal E. A third transistor (52) is connected to provide hysteresis to the slicing circuit, and a fifth transistor (54) is connected in parallel with the third transistor (52). The control electrode of the transistor (52) receives the control signal F from the differential amplifier (42).
