Abstract
A self-biased high-speed receiver is described. The receiver is powered by one power supply with the core operation voltage and one power supply with the IO operation voltage. The receiver is self-biased to provide a stable bias voltage. A reference voltage and an IO signal are applied on the receiver so that the difference is amplified. Thick oxide transistors are used to increase the operation voltage of the transistors. Native thick oxide transistors are used so that the receiver can work with low command mode input.
