Abstract
A time-multiplexed common mode feedback circuit provides a common mode feedback signal during active phases of a clock signal. The common mode feed back circuit includes capacitors which are charged during the inactive phases of the clock signals. In one embodiment, the common mode feedback signal is provided by two generator circuits each driven by a respective one of two non-overlapping clock signals. In that embodiment, the generator circuits provide the common mode feedback signal during the active phases of their respective clock signals.
