Abstract
A receiver for use in a device such as a memory device is provided. The receiver circuit is located on the same integrated circuit as a temperature sensor (or other sensor). A data receiver and strobe receiver are coupled to the temperature sensor. A flip-flop receives a data input from the data receiver and this data input is latched based upon the strobe receiver. In the preferred embodiment, the timing of these inputs is controlled, at least in part, by the temperature sensor output.
