Abstract
An input buffer for an integrated circuit and providing reduced sensitivity to input noise present in a transmission line environment. This input buffer deskews an input signal where the rise time is much slower than the fall time, such as that from an open-collector output driver, so that the rising edge propagation delay and falling edge propagation delay of the input buffer are approximately equal.
