  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a new CMOS analog continuous-time linear equalizer. The proposed structure overcomes some of the limitations due to the low supply voltage of the most widely used continuous-time equalizer, the degenerated differential pair. The prototype has been tested for multi-gigabit short-range applications targeting up to 2 Gb/s through a 50-m SI-POF. The proposed linear equalizer was designed in a cost-effective 90-nm CMOS process. The system is fed with a single supply voltage of 1 V and consumes 2.7 mW.
