Low power radio frequency (RF) receivers and related circuits are described.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) repeater circuits and methods of operating the same for communicating data signals from a first pair of data terminals to a second pair of data terminals of the repeater. In a first channel, an amplifier stage in a receiver amplifies a differential signal received at the first pair of data terminals to generate a differential signal at first and second output nodes of the receiver, and a transmitting circuit transmits a differential signal at the second pair of data terminals responsive to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver. The receiver includes a hysteresis stage that receives an offset in opposition to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver. End-of-packet (EOP) dribble in USB communications in the HS mode is reduced by the offset at the hysteresis stage.
