Abstract
A method of sharing inductors for inductive peaking of an amplifier includes calculating a single stage inductance of a single stage for inductive peaking in order to have a stable impulse response. The method further includes determining a number of stages for shared inductance for inductive peaking. The method further includes sharing at least two inductors having the shared inductance among the determined number of stages for inductive peaking.
