    Abstract: In one example, a current-mode logic (CML) circuit includes a differential transistor pair having a differential input port configured to receive a differential input voltage, a bias port configured for coupling to a current source, and a differential output port. The CML circuit further includes a load circuit coupled to the differential output port. The load circuit includes an active inductive load, a cross-coupled transistor pair, and a switch coupled between the cross-coupled transistor pair and the differential output.

    Abstract: An apparatus for reducing or removing a direct current (DC) offset voltage from one or more analog signals is disclosed. An analog signal may be received by an integrator. The integrator may integrate the analog signal to determine a DC offset error signal. The apparatus may integrate, invert, and amplify the DC offset error signal to provide an analog correction signal. The analog correction signal may be inverted and subtracted from the analog signal. In some implementations, the apparatus may include multiple, independent circuits to reduce or remove DC offset voltages from differential signals.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a peaking module fabricated on a semiconductor substrate including a follower circuit driving a series peaking circuit-branch, the module configured to extend the bandwidth of a track-and-hold circuit. In an illustrative example, the series peaking circuit-branch may include an inductive element. One or more tracks on a metal interconnect above the semiconductor substrate may form the inductive element, for example. In some examples, one or more peaking modules may be combined creating a customized frequency response. In some examples, one or more combined peaking modules may be adjusted by a controller providing dynamic frequency response customization during operation. The follower circuits may employ constant current biasing and/or constant-gm biasing to provide substantial immunity to process, temperature and voltage variations, for example. Various implementations of series peaking circuit-branch pre-emphasis may advantageously extend overall bandwidth of various circuits (e.g., high-speed track-and-hold circuits).
