Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a latch hysteresis receiver circuit having reduced crowbar current. Within the present embodiment, the latch hysteresis receiver circuit comprises an input stage and a latch hysteresis switching element coupled to the input stage. Additionally, the latch hysteresis receiver circuit comprises a pass gate coupled to the latch hysteresis switching element and to an output of the latch hysteresis receiver circuit. It is noted that the pass gate may be for restricting current that flows through the latch hysteresis switching element.
