The squelch input unit pre-processes the positive and negative signals of an input signal to generate four pre-processed signals that are paired and sent to the low swing pre-amplifier.

Abstract: A digital frequency comparator includes two double-edge triggered flip-flops and a combination logic. Each of the double-edge triggered flip-flops includes two D-type flip-flops and two multiplexers. The first D-type flip-flop receives a first reference clock pulse and is triggered by a data signal. The second D-type flip-flop receives the first reference clock pulse and is triggered by the reverse of the data signal. The first multiplexer provides the output of the first D-type flip-flop when the data signal is 1 and the output of the second D-type flip-flop when the data signal is 0. The second multiplexer provides the output of the first D-type flip-flop when the data signal is 0 and the output of the second D-type flip-flop when the data signal is 1. The combination logic enables an UP pulse when the data signal transmission clock is faster in frequency than the first reference clock signal.

Therefore, the aspect ratio of the transistors of the input pair of current switches is reduced.
