Front-end circuitry for a data receiver and related systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. The front-end circuitry includes a passive equalizer, which includes a signal input, an equalizer output including a first equalizer output and a second equalizer output, a first signal path, and a second signal path. The first signal path is between the signal input and the first equalizer output. The first signal path has a first frequency response. The second signal path is between the signal input and the second equalizer output. The second signal path has a second frequency response. The second frequency response exhibits substantially inverse behavior to that of the first frequency response. An amplifier circuit is configured to combine a first equalizer output signal from the first equalizer output with a second equalizer output signal from the second equalizer output to obtain an equalized output signal.

The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of an equalizer that uses both cross-coupled cascodes and inductive peaking to reduce distortion in a signal received from a communication channel by attenuating lower frequencies and amplifying higher frequencies. At lower frequencies, when the effects of inductive impedance within the equalizer are negligible, the equalizer essentially functions as a traditional cascode amplifier that presents high gain. At higher frequencies, the increases in inductive impedances within the equalizer act to boost a gain of the equalizer.
