Abstract
A differential signal receiver and method is disclosed. One embodiment relates to a receiver for receiving a differential signal. The receiver includes a first voltage-to-current converter that converts the voltage received at a first input to a first current, and a second voltage-to-current converter that converts a voltage signal received at a second input to a second current. A current subtractor provides a difference current of the first and second currents that is indicative of the differential signal.
