Equalizer circuitry includes a differential target voltage input, an equalizer output, a first operational amplifier, and a second operational amplifier. The differential target voltage input includes a target voltage input node and an inverted target voltage input node. The first operational amplifier and the second operational amplifier are coupled in series between the differential target voltage input and the equalizer output. The first operational amplifier is configured to receive a target voltage signal and provide an intermediate signal based on the target voltage input signal. The second operational amplifier is configured to receive the intermediate signal and an inverted target voltage signal and provide an output signal to the equalizer output. The first operational amplifier and the second operational amplifier are interconnected with one or more passive components such that a transfer function between the differential target voltage input and the equalizer output is a second-order complex-zero function.
