Abstract
A pre-driver circuit includes a differential input circuit to receive a differential-input voltage. A latch circuit can latch voltage levels of output-voltage signals at a differential output port of the pre-driver circuit. A pair of capacitors couple the differential input circuit to the latch circuit. The pre-driver circuit can enable peaking of the output-voltage signals for high-speed operation of the pre-driver circuit and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC)-driver circuit coupled to the pre-driver circuit.
