Bandwidth boost technique for wideband input termination network

An input termination network for an analog front-end of a receiver, wherein the input termination network comprises:

• a T-coil network coupled to an input bump of the receiver, wherein the T-coil network has a circuit node;
• a termination circuit having a capacitance;
• and
• a series impedance circuit coupled to the circuit node of the T-coil network, wherein the series impedance circuit is disposed between the T-coil network and the capacitance of the termination circuit.

An input termination network for an analog front-end of a receiver, wherein the input termination network comprises:

• a T-coil network to interface between an input bump and a stage of the analog front-end;
• a termination circuit to provide a line termination impedance;
• and
• a series impedance circuit to isolate the T-coil network from a capacitive loading of the termination circuit.
