    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a time-interleaved integrating sampling front-end circuit using integrating buffers. In an illustrative example, a circuit may include N sampling layers of circuits, an ith sampling layer of circuits of the N sampling layers of circuits may include: (a) Xi buffers configured to receive an analog signal, Xi≥1, and, (b) Yi track-and-hold circuits, each track-and-hold circuit of the Yi track-and-hold circuits is coupled to an output of a corresponding buffer of the X buffers, Yi≥1, at least one buffer of the Xi buffers may include an integrating buffer, N≥i≥1. By implementing integrating buffers, a faster linear type of step settling response may be obtained as opposed to a slower exponential type of settling response.

    Abstract: A frequency divider circuit includes an oscillator comprising a plurality of delay elements coupled in series with each other, a first coupling circuit coupled to a first oscillator node and including a control terminal to receive a first retiming signal, and a first multiplexer including inputs coupled to receive the input signal and a complementary input signal, a control terminal coupled to a second oscillator node, and an output to provide the first retiming signal. The first multiplexer may be configured to alternate between injecting the input signal into the first oscillator node based on rising edges of the input signal and injecting the input signal into the first oscillator node based on falling edges of the input signal in response to a logic state of an oscillation waveform appearing at the second oscillator node.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to continuous time linear equalization. In an example of a continuous time linear equalizer, a variable gain circuit includes transistors having gate nodes respectively as a first and a second input node. A first transimpedance circuit is connected between the first input node and a first output node. A second transimpedance circuit is connected between the second input node and a second output node. A source node of each of the first transistor and the second transistor are commonly connected to one another. In the same or another equalizer, output nodes of a first frequency peaking circuit are connected to input nodes of a second frequency peaking circuit. In such a same or another equalizer, an RC feedback circuit has tap-off nodes and summing nodes respectively connected at the output nodes of the first frequency peaking circuit.
