    摘要: Analog peaking amplifiers with enhanced peaking capability are provided. For example, a peaking amplifier circuit includes an input node, output node, a feedback node, a first input amplifier having an input connected to the input node and an output connected to the feedback node, a second input amplifier having an input connected to the input node, a coupling capacitor connected between an output of the second input amplifier and the feedback node, a forward-path gain amplifier having an input connected to the feedback node and an output connected to the output node, and a feedback circuit having an input coupled to the output node and an output connected to the feedback node. A peaking response of the peaking amplifier circuit is realized by capacitively coupling the output of the second input amplifier to the feedback node to suppress negative feedback and increase the peaking gain at higher frequencies.

    摘要: Circuits and methods are provided for generating clock signals and correcting duty cycle distortion in clock signals. A circuit for generating a clock signal includes a multiplexer circuit and an edge-triggered flip-flop circuit. The multiplexer circuit selectively outputs one of a plurality of input clock signals. The edge-triggered flip-flop detects a transitioning edge of the input clock signal that is selectively output from the multiplexer circuit, and in response to the detection, samples a logic level of a received data signal, and generates a transition of an output clock signal at an output port of the edge-triggered flip-flop. The multiplexer circuit selectively outputs one of the plurality of input clock signals to a clock signal port of the edge-triggered flip-flop, based on a logic level of the output clock signal at the output port of the edge-triggered flip-flop, which is input to a select control port of the multiplexer circuit.
