Abstract

A receive circuit having a sampling circuit and a threshold generating circuit. The sampling circuit generates a first sample value having either a first state or a second state according whether an incoming signal exceeds a first threshold level, the first threshold level corresponding to a first threshold value. The threshold generating circuit combines a first control value and a second control value to generate the first threshold value and provides the first threshold value to the sampling circuit.
