Abstract
In one embodiment, the input circuit includes a receiver circuit that generates a data signal based on a pair of differential data signals. A detecting circuit detects an offset voltage between the pair of differential data signals, and an adjusting circuit adjusts operation of the receiver to reduce a magnitude of the detected offset voltage based on the detected offset voltage.
