Abstract
A terminator circuit for connection to a network can be fabricated and used within CMOS-SOI (complementary metal oxide semiconductor--silicon on insulator) for carrying smal logic level signals for connecting data from a network's first circuit to a network's second circuit in which a network's input terminal connects a terminator circuit to the network's second circuit to act as a terminator on the data line passing data from said first circuit to said second circuit. The terminator circuit has a reference circuit coupled to a terminal circuit and to a differential hysteresis receiver. The tuned voltage levels supplied to said terminator input circuit for the termination to the network as a terminator on the data line passing data from said first circuit to said second citcuit supplying, and also, supplied to the hysteresis differential receiver which is integrated into the terminator circuit to set up a threshold tuned reference voltage between the logic levels of said terminator input circuit for the network.
