Abstract

Method and circuitry for converting a differential logic signal to a single-ended logic signal that minimize delay. In specific embodiments differential logic signals of the type employed in, for example, current-controlled complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (C3MOS) logic are converted to single-ended rail-to-rail CMOS logic levels using the regenerative action of a
