Abstract
A continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) includes a first circuit path having a step response that increases from an first initial value to a steady state value higher than the first initial value. The CTLE also includes a second circuit path in parallel with the first circuit path, the second circuit path having a step response that increases from a second initial value to a peak and subsequently falls to second steady state value that is approximately equal to the second initial value. The CTLE is configured to combine an output of the first circuit path and an output of the second circuit path.

A continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE), comprising:
- a first circuit path having a step response that increases from a first initial value to a steady state value higher than the first initial value;
- and
- a second circuit path in parallel with the first circuit path, the second circuit path having a step response that increases from a second initial value to a peak and subsequently falls to a second steady state value that is approximately equal to the second initial value,
- wherein the CTLE is configured to combine an output of the first circuit path and an output of the second circuit path.
A continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE), comprising:
- a first circuit path having a step response that increases from a first initial value to a steady state value higher than the first initial value;
- and
- a second circuit path in parallel with the first circuit path, the second circuit path having a step response with an overshoot,
