1. A complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuit for converting a differential logic signal to a single-ended logic signal, comprising:

  • a differential input stage coupled to receive the differential logic signal and configured to steer current into a first output branch or a second output branch in response to the differential logic signal;

    a first output transistor having a gate terminal coupled to the first output branch;

    a second output transistor having a gate terminal coupled to the second output branch; and

    a CMOS latch coupled between the first output transistor and the second output transistor.
