Abstract
A low voltage differential signaling receiver includes a gain compensation and control circuit having a low common mode compensation circuit and a high common mode compensation circuit. A control circuit is coupled to both compensation circuits and senses the operation of one to control the operation of the other. The operation of the compensation circuits ensures that differential signals having a wide range of common mode input voltages are accurately detected by the receiver. The control circuit serves to keep the combined operation of the compensation circuits stable over the wide range of common mode input voltages.
