Abstract
A method and apparatus for adjusting a frequency characteristic of a signal is provided. A transmitter circuit uses a driver circuit and a filter to generate the signal. The frequency characteristic of the signal is adjusted, or 'equalized,' using a replica driver that adjusts the driver circuit and a voltage control circuit that adjusts the filter.
