Abstract
An integrated circuit containing a communication channel is described. This communication channel includes a transmit circuit configured to transmit signals using a voltage-mode driver, a receive circuit, and a capacitive link that couples the transmit circuit to the receive circuit. The communication channel includes a filter with a capacitive-summing junction to equalize signals communicated between the transmit circuit and the receive circuit.
