Abstract

An apparatus includes a line-termination circuit and a continuous-time linear equalizer circuit. The line-termination circuit may be configured to generate a data signal in response to an input signal. The input signal generally resides in a first voltage domain. The input signal may be single-ended. The data signal may be generated in the first voltage domain. The continuous-time linear equalizer circuit may be configured to generate an intermediate signal by equalizing the data signal relative to a reference voltage. The continuous-time linear equalizer circuit generally operates in a second voltage domain. The first voltage domain may be higher than the second voltage domain.
