Abstract

See full text

An embodiment of the invention includes dynamically adjusting gain peaking of circuit logic such that error rates are acceptable across various process/voltage/temperature (PVT) ranges. An embodiment uses PVT dependant programming, such as but not limited to resistance compensation (RCOMP) codes, to control impedance compensation logic, such as but not limited to a Continuous Time Linear Equalization (CTLE) circuit. The PVT programming may be used to control gain peaking amplitude and gain peaking frequency across ranges of different PVTs. As a result, error performance is not impaired across different PVT corners and gain peaking is more consistent across different PVT corners. Other embodiments are included herein.
