Abstract
A PAM-4 data slicer includes first, second, and third comparators which provide first, second, and third thresholds, respectively. Each of the comparators has an offset. The first and third comparators have an offset generating arrangement at their outputs to provide the first and third comparator circuits with symmetrical offsets.
