Abstract
A self-biased gyrator-based input receiver amplifies and equalizes single-ended signals. The input receiver implements inductive impedance useful for high-frequency peaking circuits using an active gyrator-C circuit comprising only resistive, capacitive, and transistor elements, which are easily and efficiently fabricated on a conventional integrated circuit. Transistors comprising the input receiver, along with resistive elements and capacitive elements may be implemented as digitally adjustable circuit elements, providing for adjustment of at least peak frequency, low-frequency gain, and termination impedance.
