[0031] For DRAM, a digital eye diagram is used to analyze memory performance. This diagram can be derived by combining the eye diagram of the receiver input waveform with the critical comparison time. The better the receiver, the larger the digital eye diagram area.

[0032] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a receiver, which is at least used to improve the electrical performance of the receiver.

[0033] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many technical details are provided in the various embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate a better understanding of the present disclosure. However, even without these technical details and the various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in the present disclosure can be implemented. The division of the following embodiments is for ease of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the present disclosure. The various embodiments may be combined and referenced with each other as long as there is no contradiction.

[0034] The receiver provided in this embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, specifically as follows:

[0035] Referring to Figure 1, a data receiving structure is shown as an example. The data receiving structure includes two working phases: a sampling phase and a pre-charging phase. Specifically, the data receiving structure is controlled by a clock signal wck to operate in the sampling phase or the pre-charging phase.

[0036] In the example of Figure 1, when the clock signal wck is at a low level, the data receiving structure operates in the pre-charging stage, and the inverted signal wckN of the clock signal is at a high level; when the clock signal wck is at a high level, the data receiving structure operates in the sampling stage, and the inverted signal wckN of the clock signal is at a low level.

[0037] In the pre-charging stage, the clock signal wck is at a low level, the A10 and A13 tubes are turned on, and the nodes OUT and OUTN are pre-charged to a high level; the inverted signal wckN of the clock signal is at a high level, the A3 and A4 tubes are turned on, and the nodes Node1 and Node2 are pulled down to a low level.

[0038] In the sampling phase, the clock signal wck is at a high level, the A10 and A13 tubes are turned off, the inverted signal wckN of the clock signal is at a low level, the A3 and A4 tubes are turned off, and the data receiving structure samples the input signal DQ based on the reference signal Vref, and outputs the sampling results at nodes OUT and OUTN.

[0039] Assume that the level of the input signal DQ is greater than the level of the reference signal Vref, the conductivity of the A2 tube is greater than the conductivity of the A1 tube, and the A5 tube is turned on based on the inverted signal wckN of the low-level clock signal, so that the voltage of the node Node2 is greater than the voltage of the node Node1. The voltage of the node Node2 is used to turn on the A7 tube, and the voltage of the node Node1 is used to turn on the A6 tube. At this time, the conductivity of the A7 tube is greater than the conductivity of the A6 tube, and after pre-charging, the node OUT and the node OUTN are both high levels. The A8 and A9 tubes are turned on, the A7 tube pulls down the potential of the node OUTN, and the A6 tube pulls down the potential of the node OUT. Since the pull-down speed of the A7 tube is faster, the potential of the node OUTN drops faster than the potential of the node OUT. The A11 tube is turned on first. After the A11 tube is turned on, it charges the node OUT, causing the potential of the node OUT to rise, thereby making the node OUT a high level and the node OUTN a low level.

[0040] Assume that the level of the input signal DQ is lower than the level of the reference signal Vref, the conduction degree of the A2 tube is lower than the conduction degree of the A1 tube, and the A5 tube is turned on based on the inverted signal wckN of the low-level clock signal, so that the voltage of the node Node2 is lower than the voltage of the node Node1. The voltage of the node Node2 is used to turn on the A7 tube, and the voltage of the node Node1 is used to turn on the A6 tube. At this time, the conduction degree of the A7 tube is lower than the conduction degree of the A6 tube, and after pre-charging, the node OUT and the node OUTN are both high. The A8 and A9 tubes are turned on, the A7 tube pulls down the potential of the node OUTN, and the A6 tube pulls down the potential of the node OUT. Since the pull-down speed of the A6 tube is faster, the potential of the node OUT drops faster than the potential of the node OUTN. The A12 tube is turned on first. After the A12 tube is turned on, it charges the node OUTN, causing the potential of the node OUTN to rise, thereby making the node OUTN high and the node OUT low.

[0041] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the data receiving structure further includes a decision feedback equalization (DFE) module, as shown in Figure 1. DFE is a method for reducing inter-symbol interference (ISI) by using previous data to feed back subsequent data. Using DFE technology helps optimize the data eye diagram, increase the time domain span and voltage domain span, and ensure that the memory bus can transmit signals at a higher transmission rate.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2, which illustrates the output principle of a receiver during the precharge and sampling phases according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the sampling phase includes S2 and S3. Ideally, during precharge phase S1, nodes OUT1 and OUT2 (where one of OUT1 and OUT2 represents OUT and the other represents OUTN) are precharged to the same value, as shown in Figure 2(A). At this point, during comparison phase S2, OUT2, which is pulled down faster, will preferentially turn on its corresponding transistor, allowing OUT1 to be charged during amplification phase S3. At this point, the output relationship between OUT1 and OUT2 is correct.

[0043] However, as the timing requirements of memory increase, more data needs to be output in the same time, which shortens the output time of each data and reduces the processing time of a single data. At this time, the time of S1 to S3 will be shortened, which may cause insufficient pre-charge time. After pre-charge, the potential of OUT2 is still smaller than that of OUT1, as shown in Figure 2(B) and Figure 2(C).

[0044] Assume that the voltage difference between OUT1 and OUT2 after pre-charging is V0. The potential of OUT1 drops by V1 in the comparison phase S2, and the potential of OUT2 drops by V2 in the comparison phase S2. When the value of V1-V2 is greater than V0, as shown in Figure 2(B), OUT1 will preferentially turn on the corresponding transistor, so that OUT2 is charged in the amplification phase S3. Since OUT1 drops faster in the comparison phase S2, it should output a low level. At this time, the output relationship between OUT1 and OUT2 is correct.

[0045] Assume that the voltage difference between OUT1 and OUT2 after pre-charging is V0. The potential of OUT1 drops by V1 in the comparison phase S2, and the potential of OUT2 drops by V2 in the comparison phase S2. When the value of V1-V2 is less than V0, as shown in Figure 2(C), OUT2 will preferentially turn on the corresponding transistor, so that OUT1 is charged in the amplification phase S3. Since OUT1 drops faster in the comparison phase S2, it should output a low level. At this time, the output relationship between OUT1 and OUT2 is incorrect, and the data receiving structure samples the input signal DQ incorrectly.

[0046] The receiver provided in this embodiment is used to avoid sampling errors of the input signal DQ.

[0047] Refer to Figure 3, which is a structural diagram of a receiver provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The receiver illustrated in Figure 3(A) does not include a DFE structure, while the receiver illustrated in Figure 3(B) includes a DFE structure. The receiver includes a first-stage sampling circuit 101, a second-stage sampling circuit 102, and an adjustment circuit 104.

[0048] The first-stage sampling circuit 101 is configured to receive an input signal DQ and a reference signal Vref, and to generate and output a sampling signal n1 and a complementary sampling signal p1 based on the input signal DQ and the reference signal during a sampling phase. In the sampling phase, if the potential of the input signal DQ is greater than the potential of the reference signal Vref, the potential of the generated complementary sampling signal p1 is greater than the potential of the sampling signal n1; and if the potential of the reference signal Vref is greater than the potential of the input signal DQ, the potential of the generated sampling signal n1 is greater than the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1.

[0049] The second-stage sampling circuit 102 is configured to receive a sampling signal n1 and a complementary sampling signal p1, and to amplify the sampling signal n1 and the complementary sampling signal p1 based on the voltage difference between the sampling signal n1 and the complementary sampling signal p1 during the sampling phase, and output a data signal OUT and a complementary data signal OUTN. In the sampling phase, if the potential of the sampling signal n1 is greater than the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1, the generated complementary data signal OUTN is high and the data signal OUT is low; if the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 is greater than the potential of the sampling signal n1, the generated data signal OUT is high and the complementary data signal OUTN is low.

[0050] For the first-stage sampling circuit 101 and the second-stage sampling circuit 102, in the sampling phase, if the potential of the input signal DQ is greater than the potential of the reference signal Vref, the generated data signal OUT is high and the complementary data signal OUTN is low; if the potential of the reference signal Vref is greater than the potential of the input signal DQ, the generated complementary data signal OUTN is high and the data signal OUT is low.

[0051] The adjustment circuit 104 is connected to the first-stage sampling circuit 101 and the second-stage sampling circuit 102 respectively, and is configured to receive the sampling signal n1 and the complementary sampling signal p1, and adjust the amplification speed of the second-stage sampling circuit 102 based on the sampling signal n1 and the complementary sampling signal p1 during the sampling phase.

[0052] Referring to FIG2 , the receiver provided in this example is used to improve the amplification speed of the second-stage sampling circuit 102 . Referring to FIG2(D), the adjusted OUT1 and OUT2 are illustrated with dotted lines, so that in the comparison phase S2, the pull-down speeds of OUT1 and OUT2 are faster to conform to the output example shown in FIG2(B). Even if there is a voltage difference after pre-charging, the pull-down speeds of OUT1 and OUT2 are fast enough to compensate for the voltage difference after pre-charging, so that the output relationship between OUT1 and OUT2 is correct.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first-stage sampling circuit 101 is further configured to discharge its output terminal based on the clock signal wck or the complementary clock signal wckN during a precharge phase to generate and output a low-level sampling signal n1 and a complementary sampling signal p1; wherein the clock signal wck and the complementary clock signal wckN are inverted signals of each other. The second-stage sampling circuit 102 is further configured to precharge its output terminal at a precharge node based on the clock signal wck or the complementary clock signal wckN to generate and output a high-level data signal OUT and a complementary data signal OUTN. The adjustment circuit 104 is further configured to adjust the precharge speed of the second-stage sampling circuit 102 based on the sampling signal n1 and the complementary sampling signal p1 during the precharge phase.

[0054] 2 , the receiver provided in this example is also used to improve the pre-charging speed of the second-stage sampling circuit 102 . Referring to FIG. 2 (D ), the adjusted OUT1 and OUT2 are illustrated with dotted lines so that before the comparison stage S2 , the potentials of OUT1 and OUT2 are as consistent as possible to conform to the output example of FIG. 2 (A ). At this time, the output relationship between OUT1 and OUT2 must be correct.

[0055] In one example, when the clock signal wck is high or the complementary clock signal wckN is low, the receiver is in the sampling phase; when the clock signal wcn is low or the complementary clock signal wckN is high, the receiver is in the pre-charging phase.

[0056] In some embodiments, the receiver further includes a decision feedback equalization (DFE) circuit 103 configured to adjust the potential of the sampled signal n1 and the complementary sampled signal p1 based on the previously output data signal OUT and the complementary data signal OUTN. The DFE technique is used to reduce intersymbol interference between adjacent input signals, thereby optimizing the data eye diagram, increasing the time domain span and the voltage domain span, and ensuring that the memory bus can transmit signals at a higher transmission rate.

[0057] Specifically, the decision feedback equalization circuit 103 adjusts the potential of the sampling signal n1 and the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 based on the feedback of the previous data signal or the previous complementary data signal, where the previous data signal and the previous complementary data signal are inverted signals. If the previous data signal is at a high level, the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 is adaptively reduced and the potential of the sampling signal n1 is increased. If the previous data signal is at a low level, the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 is adaptively increased and the potential of the sampling signal n1 is reduced.

[0058] It should be noted that the decision feedback equalization circuit 103 is assumed to exist in the subsequent figures and descriptions of this embodiment, and the potential of the sampling signal n1 and the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 are assumed to be the potentials adjusted by the decision feedback equalization circuit 103. The presence or absence of the decision feedback equalization circuit 103 does not constitute a limitation on the receiver provided by this embodiment. In some examples, the decision feedback equalization circuit 103 may not be provided in the receiver provided by this embodiment.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, Figure 4 is a structural diagram of a specific receiver provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the first-stage sampling circuit 101 includes: a first driving transistor P3, a control end for receiving a complementary clock signal wckN, and a first end for receiving a second power supply voltage; a first P-type transistor P1, a control end for receiving an input signal DQ, a first end connected to the second end of the first driving transistor P3, and a second end for outputting a sampling signal n1; a second P-type transistor P2, a control end for receiving a reference signal Vref, a first end connected to the second end of the first driving transistor P3, and a second end for outputting a complementary sampling signal p1; a first N-type transistor N1, a control end for receiving the complementary clock signal wckN, a first end connected to the second end of the first P-type transistor P1, and a second end grounded; a second N-type transistor N2, a control end connected to the control end of the first N-type transistor N1, a first end connected to the second end of the second P-type transistor P2, and a second end grounded.

[0060] When the clock signal wck is low (the complementary clock signal wckN is high), the first-stage sampling circuit 101 operates in a precharge phase. When the clock signal wck is high (the complementary clock signal wckN is low), the first-stage sampling circuit 101 operates in a sampling phase. During the precharge phase, the complementary clock signal wckN is high, the first driver transistor P3 is off, and the first N-type transistor N1 and the second N-type transistor N2 are on, pulling the potential of the sampling signal n1 and the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 down to a low level. During the sampling phase, the complementary clock signal wckN is low, the first N-type transistor N1 and the second N-type transistor N2 are off, the first driver transistor P3 is on, and the first P-type transistor P1 and the second P-type transistor P2 sample the input signal DQ and the reference signal Vref, respectively, to generate the sampling signal n1 and the complementary sampling signal p1. Specifically, assuming that the level of the input signal DQ is greater than the level of the reference signal Vref, the conductivity of the second P-type transistor P2 is greater than the conductivity of the first P-type transistor P1, so that the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 is greater than the potential of the sampling signal n1; assuming that the level of the input signal DQ is less than the level of the reference signal Vref, the conductivity of the second P-type transistor P2 is less than the conductivity of the first P-type transistor P1, so that the potential of the complementary sampling signal p1 is less than the potential of the sampling signal n1.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3 and FIG4, the second-stage sampling circuit 102 includes: a second driving transistor P6, a control terminal for receiving the clock signal wck, and a first terminal for receiving the second power supply voltage; a third driving transistor P7, a control terminal for receiving the clock signal wck, and a first terminal for receiving the second power supply voltage; a third P-type transistor P4, a control terminal connected to the second terminal of the second driving transistor P6 and for outputting the complementary data signal OUTN, a first terminal for receiving the second power supply voltage, and a second terminal connected to the second terminal of the second driving transistor P6; a fourth P-type transistor P5, a control terminal connected to the second terminal of the third driving transistor P7, and for outputting the data signal OUT. The first end is used to receive the second power supply voltage, and the second end is connected to the second end of the third driving transistor P7; the third N-type transistor N3, the control end is connected to the second end of the second driving transistor P6, and the first end is connected to the second end of the second driving transistor P6; the fourth N-type transistor N4, the control end is connected to the second end of the third driving transistor P7, and the first end is connected to the second end of the third driving transistor P7; the fifth N-type transistor N5, the control end is used to receive the sampling signal n1, the first end is connected to the second end of the third N-type transistor N3, and the second end is grounded; the sixth N-type transistor N6, the control end is used to receive the complementary sampling signal p1, the first end is connected to the second end of the fourth N-type transistor N4, and the second end is grounded.

[0062] When the clock signal wck is low (the complementary clock signal wckN is high), the second-stage sampling circuit 102 operates in a precharge phase. When the clock signal wck is high (the complementary clock signal wckN is low), the second-stage sampling circuit 102 operates in a sampling phase. During the precharge phase, the second driver transistor P6 and the third driver transistor P7 are turned on, precharging the potential of the data signal OUT and the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN to a high level. During the sampling phase, the second driver transistor P6 and the third driver transistor P7 are turned off, outputting the data signal OUT and the complementary data signal OUTN. Specifically, assuming that the level of the input signal DQ is greater than the level of the reference signal Vref, the complementary sampling signal p1 is used to turn on the sixth N-type transistor N6, and the sampling signal n1 is used to turn on the fifth N-type transistor N5. At this time, the conductivity of the sixth N-type transistor N6 is greater than that of the fifth N-type transistor N5, and after pre-charging, the data signal OUT and the complementary data signal OUTN are both high. The third N-type transistor N3 and the fourth N-type transistor N4 are turned on, the sixth N-type transistor N6 pulls down the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN, and the fifth N-type transistor N5 pulls down the potential of the data signal OUT. Since the sixth N-type transistor N6 pulls down faster, the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN drops faster than the potential of the data signal OUT. The third P-type transistor P4 is turned on first. After the third P-type transistor P4 is turned on, the data signal OUT is charged, causing the potential of the data signal OUT to rise, thereby causing the data signal OUT to be high and the complementary data signal OUTN to be low. Assume that the level of the input signal DQ is lower than the level of the reference signal Vref, the complementary sampling signal p1 is used to turn on the sixth N-type transistor N6, and the sampling signal n1 is used to turn on the fifth N-type transistor N5. At this time, the conduction degree of the sixth N-type transistor N6 is lower than the conduction degree of the fifth N-type transistor N5, and after pre-charging, the data signal OUT and the complementary data signal OUTN are both high. The third N-type transistor N3 and the fourth N-type transistor N4 are turned on, the sixth N-type transistor N6 pulls down the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN, and the fifth N-type transistor N5 pulls down the potential of the data signal OUT. Since the fifth N-type transistor N5 pulls down the potential faster, the potential of the data signal OUT drops faster than the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN. The fourth P-type transistor P5 is turned on first. After the fourth P-type transistor P5 is turned on, the complementary data signal OUTN is charged, causing the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN to rise, thereby causing the complementary data signal OUTN to be high and the data signal OUT to be low.

[0063] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 and 5, Figure 5 is a structural diagram of an adjustment circuit based on a single transistor arrangement provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure based on the example of Figure 3. The adjustment circuit 104 includes: a first pull-up transistor TP1, a first end for receiving a first power supply voltage, a second end connected to a first output end of the second-stage sampling circuit 102, the first output end for outputting a data signal OUT, and a control end for receiving a sampling signal n1; a second pull-up transistor TP2, a first end for receiving the first power supply voltage, a second end connected to a second output end of the second-stage sampling circuit 102, the second output end for outputting a complementary data signal OUTN, and a control end for receiving a complementary sampling signal p1.

[0064] Based on the foregoing, it can be seen that in the pre-charging stage, the sampling signal n1 and the complementary sampling signal p1 are at a low level. The low-level sampling signal n1 turns on the first pull-up transistor TP1. After the first pull-up transistor TP1 is turned on, the first output terminal is pre-charged based on the first power supply voltage to increase the pre-charging speed of the data signal OUT; the low-level complementary sampling signal p1 turns on the second pull-up transistor TP2. After the second pull-up transistor TP2 is turned on, the second output terminal is pre-charged based on the first power supply voltage to increase the pre-charging speed of the complementary data signal OUTN.

[0065] In the sampling phase, assuming that the level of the input signal DQ is greater than the level of the reference signal Vref, and the level of the sampling signal n1 is less than the level of the complementary sampling signal p1, the charging speed of the first pull-up transistor TP1 is greater than the charging speed of the second pull-up transistor TP2, so as to ensure that the data signal OUT outputted from the first output terminal is a high level; assuming that the level of the input signal DQ is less than the level of the reference signal Vref, and the level of the sampling signal n1 is greater than the level of the complementary sampling signal p1, the charging speed of the first pull-up transistor TP1 is less than the charging speed of the second pull-up transistor TP2, so as to ensure that the complementary data signal OUTN outputted from the second output terminal is a low level.

[0066] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the adjustment circuit 104 further includes a first equalizing transistor EQ1 having a first terminal connected to the first output terminal, a second terminal connected to the second output terminal, and a control terminal configured to receive a clock signal wck. The first equalizing transistor EQ1 is configured to be turned on in response to a low-level clock signal wck. When the clock signal wck is low, the receiver is in a pre-charge phase. That is, in the pre-charge phase, the first equalizing transistor EQ1 is configured to connect the first output terminal and the second output terminal to ensure that the potential of the data signal OUT is consistent with the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIG4 and FIG5 , the adjustment circuit 104 is driven based on a first power supply voltage Vcc1, and the first-stage sampling circuit 101 and the second-stage sampling circuit 102 are driven based on a second power supply voltage Vcc2. The first power supply voltage Vcc1 is greater than the second power supply voltage Vcc2. By configuring the adjustment circuit 104 to be driven based on the larger first power supply voltage Vcc1, the pre-charging capability of the adjustment circuit 104 is enhanced and the efficiency of the amplification speed is increased, thereby enabling the adjustment circuit 104 to achieve a better improvement effect on the receiver.

The second equalizing transistor EQ2 is configured to be turned on in response to a high-level complementary clock signal wckN. When the complementary clock signal wckN is high, the receiver is in a pre-charge phase. That is, in the pre-charge phase, the second equalizing transistor EQ2 is configured to connect the first end of the third N-type transistor N3 and the first end of the fourth N-type transistor N4, so that the second-stage sampling circuit 102 pulls down the potential of the data signal OUT at the same speed as the complementary data signal OUTN, thereby ensuring that the potential of the data signal OUT is consistent with the potential of the complementary data signal OUTN.

[0071] In the description of the transistor in the above embodiment, the control terminal serves as the gate of the transistor, one of the first terminal and the second terminal serves as the source of the transistor, and the other serves as the drain of the transistor, and the positions of the source and drain of the transistor are interchangeable.

[0072] It should be noted that the features disclosed in the receivers provided in the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined without conflict to obtain new receiver embodiments.

[0073] Another embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a data receiving structure, which is at least used to improve the electrical performance of a receiver.

[0074] The receiver provided in this embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, specifically as follows:

[0075] Refer to Figure 8, which is a structural diagram of a data receiving structure provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure. The data receiving structure 300 includes: N data receiving units 301, which are driven in sequence based on N phase clocks (wck0~wckn), and each of the N data receiving units 301 is set based on the receiver provided in the above embodiment, where N is a positive integer.

[0076] In an example, assuming N=4, the four phase clocks are wck0, wck1, wck2, and wck3. Among the four data receiving units 301, the first data receiving unit 301-0 is used to output the data signal OUT0 and the complementary data signal OUTN0, the second data receiving unit 301-1 is used to output the data signal OUT1 and the complementary data signal OUTN1, the third data receiving unit 301-2 is used to output the data signal OUT2 and the complementary data signal OUTN2, and the fourth data receiving unit 301-3 is used to output the data signal OUT3 and the complementary data signal OUTN3.

[0077] Specifically, referring to Figure 9, which illustrates the receiving principle of a data receiving structure according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first data receiving unit 301-0 is controlled by clock signal wck0.

The third data receiving unit 301-2 is controlled by clock signal wck2. When wck2 is high, the third data receiving unit 301-2 performs data sampling and outputs the data signal OUT2 and the complementary data signal OUTN2. When wck2 is low, the third data receiving unit 301-2 performs precharging. As previously mentioned, during the sampling process of data receiving unit 301, the first P-type transistor turns on to gradually pull up the sampling signal p1, and the second P-type transistor turns on to gradually pull up the complementary sampling signal n1. In Figure 9, the waveform of p2 is also plotted within n2 to illustrate the difference between n2 and p2, thereby enabling data sampling for the third data receiving unit 301-2. The fourth data receiving unit 301-3 is controlled by clock signal wck3. When wck3 is high, the fourth data receiving unit 301-3 samples data and outputs data signal OUT3 and complementary data signal OUTN3.

As previously mentioned, during the sampling process of data receiving unit 301, the first P-type transistor turns on to gradually pull up the sampling signal p3, and the second P-type transistor turns on to gradually pull up the complementary sampling signal n3. In Figure 9, the waveform of p3 is also plotted within n3 to illustrate the difference between n3 and p3, thereby implementing data sampling in the fourth data receiving unit 301-3.

[0078] For the driving process of the 4-phase clock, referring to Figure 9, the first data receiving unit 301-0 samples the input data Data based on wck0 and the reference signal Vref to output the first input data to the data signal OUT0 and the complementary data signal OUTN0; then, the second data receiving unit 301-1 samples the input data Data based on wck1 and the reference signal Vref to output the second input data to the data signal OUT1 and the complementary data signal OUTN1; then, the third data receiving unit 301-2 samples the input data Data based on wck2 and the reference signal Vref to output the third input data to the data signal OUT2 and the complementary data signal OUTN2; then, the fourth data receiving unit 301-3 samples the input data Data based on wck3 and the reference signal Vref to output the fourth input data to the data signal OUT3 and the complementary data signal OUTN3; thereafter, the input data Data is sampled in sequence according to the order of the first data receiving unit 301-0, the second data receiving unit 301-1, the third data receiving unit 301-2 and the fourth data receiving unit 301-3.
