1. A method of operating a continuous-time linear equalizer in a receiving unit of a high-speed data transmission system for receiving an input signal, the method comprising:

  • providing an equalized output voltage with a signal line; and

    operating an active peaking control unit, comprising;

    a predetermined first number of active peaking transistors each coupled between the signal line and a power supply rail;

    a peaking resistor that couples gate terminals of each of the active peaking transistors to the signal line; and

    a first number of first setting switches each associated with each of the first number of active peaking transistors to activate a predetermined number of the first number of transistors according to first setting signals.
