11. A method of receiving an input signal, the method comprising:
-
receiving a differential input signal; configuring a continuous time linear equalizer to receive a first signal of the differential input signal at a first equalizer input of a first equalizer path and a second signal of the differential input signal at a second equalizer input of a second equalizer path; programming a first programmable load capacitor coupled to a first equalizer path output of the continuous time linear equalizer and a second programmable load capacitor coupled to a second equalizer path output of the continuous time linear equalizer; and programming a programmable source capacitor coupled between the first equalizer path and the second equalizer path; providing a high frequency gain boost with a fixed DC gain; and coupling an output signal to first and second outputs of the continuous time linear equalizer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
