Abstract
A data sampler system receives a high-speed data stream and uses a first set of data samplers for sampling the data stream at a first set of clock phase angles to produce a first set of sequential data 'eye' samples. A second set of data samplers, to sampled at a second set of clock phase angles that are different from the first set of clock phase angles to produce a second set of sequential data transition samples. The first set of data samplers, the data stream is sampled at the second set of clock phase angles to produce a third set of sequential data transition samples and with the second set data samplers, the data stream is sampled at a first set of clock phase angles to produce a fourth set of sequential data 'eye' samples. The system alternates between the first mode and a second mode in which the results produce a reduced input offset voltage for the sampler system.
