Abstract:
A digital circuit includes at least one input node, a biasing circuit, and a digital baseband circuit. The input node receives a digital signal including samples at a plurality of sample instances, the samples including a positive sample and a negative sample and represented by first plurality of bits. The biasing circuit generates a biased digital signal by adding a bias value to the digital signal so as to change the positive sample and the negative sample to first sample and second sample respectively and represented by second plurality of bits. The digital baseband circuit is configured to receive and process the biased digital signal such that reduced current consumption is realized based on a number of bit toggles in the second plurality of bits being less than a number of bit toggles in the first plurality of bits.
