Switched continuous time linear equalizer with integrated sampler

摘要

An apparatus includes an input, an output, an equalizer configured to receive an input signal at the input and to output an output signal for the output, and a reset block coupled to the equalizer and the output. The reset block is configured to pull the output signal at the output toward a bias voltage level based on a reset signal.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
an input; an output; an equalizer configured to receive an input signal at the input and to equalize the input signal to generate an output signal for the output; a reset block coupled to the equalizer and the output and configured to pull the output signal at the output toward a bias voltage level based on a reset signal; and a sampler block coupled to the reset block and the equalizer, wherein the sampler block is configured to connect and disconnect the reset block with the equalizer in response to a sample signal, and wherein the output is provided between the reset block and the sampler block.
