Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology comprise a method and apparatus for a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE). In various embodiments, the CTLE comprises a cross-coupled transistor pair that operates as a negative impedance converter. The CTLE produces a transfer function that provides high gain peaking at a high frequency without increasing the size of the die area and/or the power supply level.
