Abstract
In one implementation, an amplifier comprises a load circuit comprising a plurality of inductor cells, and a drive circuit configured to receive an input signal, and to drive the load circuit based on the input signal to generate an amplified signal. The amplifier also comprises a controller configured to tune a peaking gain of the amplifier by adjusting a number of the inductor cells that are enabled.
