    摘要: Equalizer circuitry on an integrated circuit (“IC”) includes first, second, and third continuous time, equalizer stages connected in series. Each stage includes peaking inductor circuitry. The equalizer circuitry may further include controllably variable, static, DC mode offset voltage compensation circuitry and/or dynamic, continuous mode, offset voltage compensation circuitry for respectively reducing DC voltage offset and/or time-varying, continuous mode voltage offset between an output of the third equalizer stage and utilization circuitry to which that output is applied. The first equalizer stage may be preceded by termination circuitry having controllably variable impedance. Differential circuitry and signalling may be used for various circuit components. The equalizer circuitry is particularly useful for fabrication as part of a programmable IC, using 28 nm CMOS technology, and as a receiver equalizer for a high-speed serial data signal having a bit rate of 20-25 Gbps.

A circuit of the invention can include a pair of transistors serially coupled between a signal of relatively high voltage and a source of relatively low voltage, where a voltage of the signal of relatively high voltage can vary according to a voltage of a variable control signal. A gate of one of the pair of transistors can be coupled to an input clock signal, and an output node between the pair of transistors can be coupled to an output clock signal. The circuit can also include a third transistor, whose drain and source are coupled to the output clock signal, and whose gate can be coupled to a gear input signal. This circuit can advantageously operate under at least two different gears, each with different bandwidth and phase noise characteristics.
