  • Patent number: 10291192
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a peaking module fabricated on a semiconductor substrate including a follower circuit driving a series peaking circuit-branch, the module configured to extend the bandwidth of a track-and-hold circuit. In an illustrative example, the series peaking circuit-branch may include an inductive element. One or more tracks on a metal interconnect above the semiconductor substrate may form the inductive element, for example. In some examples, one or more peaking modules may be combined creating a customized frequency response. In some examples, one or more combined peaking modules may be adjusted by a controller providing dynamic frequency response customization during operation. The follower circuits may employ constant current biasing and/or constant-gm biasing to provide substantial immunity to process, temperature and voltage variations, for example.
