Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to systems, devices, and methods for enhancing a telescopic amplifier. An amplifier may include a differential pair of input transistors including at least one transistor configured to receive a first input and at least one other transistor configured to receive a second input. The amplifier may further include a cascode circuit including a first pair of transistors coupled to the at least one transistor of the differential pair to form a first plurality of current paths configured to generate a first output. The cascode circuit may also include a second pair of transistors coupled to the at least one other transistor of the differential pair to form a second plurality of currents paths configured to generate a second output.

Abstract: A low distortion feed forward delta sigma modulator includes a first adder configured to receive a feedback signal and an input signal. The modulator also includes a first integrator configured to receive an output from the first adder, and a second integrator configured to receive an output from the first integrator. The modulator further includes a second adder configured to receive a second integrated path from the second integrator, a first integrating path from the first integrator and a first summing path from the input signal. The modulator also has a last integrator configured to receive an output from the second adder.

Abstract: A linear equalizer (LEQ) includes a first transconductance device coupled to an input node of the LEQ and a second transconductance device AC coupled to the input node of the LEQ to increase a gain of the LEQ for data signals above a predetermined frequency. The first transconductance device and the second transconductance device are of complimentary types. A bimodal LEQ includes inputs to control operation of the bimodal LEQ in a current mode or a voltage mode. The bimodal LEQ includes first and second transconductance devices. One of the first and second transconductance devices is AC coupled to an input node to increase the gain for data signals above a predetermined frequency.
