Abstract
The present invention provides an input receiver that slows the signal fluctuation by limiting the amount of electrical currents flowing through the input receiver. The limiting of electrical current flowing through the input receiver slows the input signal of the receiver which in effect filters out some level of glitches of an input signal. In one embodiment, the input receiver is constructed and implemented in a structure similar to a differential amplifier for a single interface. In another embodiment, the input receiver is constructed and implemented in a modified differential amplifier for a single interface. In a further embodiment, the input receiver is constructed and implemented in a modified differential amplifier for multiple interfaces.
