Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for thresholding an input signal synchronous with a clock signal at a receiver. The input signal is compared with a threshold voltage to produce a difference signal. The difference signal is synchronized with the input signal to generate a feedback signal. The threshold voltage is adjusted based on the feedback signal.
