Abstract
A differential receiver circuit receives a differential input signal including first and second input signals (DP, DM) and generates a single-ended output signal. The receiver circuit includes first and second comparators that receive the differential input signal and generate respective first and second differential output signals. A current summer is connected to the first and second comparators and receives the first and second differential output signals and generates a third differential output signal. A differential to single-ended converter is connected to the current summer and receives the third differential output signal and generates the single-ended output signal. The differential input signal varies from a ground voltage level to an external reference voltage level (VUSB), while the first and second comparators are made with devices that operate at an internal reference voltage level that is lower than the external reference voltage level.
