Abstract
An apparatus comprising a first amplifier, a second amplifier and a control circuit. The first amplifier may be configured to present a first amplified output signal in response to an input signal. The second amplifier may be configured to present a second amplified output signal to provide a shaped signal peaking response in response to the input signal. The first and second amplified output signals are generally combined. The control circuit may be configured to control a ratio between the first amplified output signal and the second amplified output signal. The ratio controls an amount of the peaking response.
