Abstract

A method and apparatus of converting differential signals to single-ended signals. The method includes receiving a differential signal comprising a first current and a second current and applying the second current to a first load to generate a first voltage. A third current is generated in response to the first voltage. The first current is summed with the third current and applied to a second load to generate the single-ended signal.
