ABSTRACT:
An equalizer circuit for equalizing first and second differential input signals comprises a differential pair, a reactive load, and first and second input followers. The differential pair defines first and second input nodes and first and second output nodes, and the reactive load is coupled to the differential pair. The first input follower circuit is connected to the first input node of the differential pair and is operable to receive the first differential input signal and to receive a first feedback signal from the differential pair and in response to generate a first input signal at the first input node of the differential pair. The second input follower circuit is connected to the second input node of the differential pair and is operable to receive the second differential input signal and to receive a second feedback signal from the differential pair and in response to generate a second input signal at the second input node of the differential pair.
