Zusammenfassung: | A tunable bandpass filter to provide a filtered differential clock signal in response to an input differential clock signal, where an embodiment comprises a transistor pair loaded by tunable loads, and a feedback circuit to tune the tunable loads. In some embodiments, the feedback circuit tunes the loads to maximize a small-signal differential gain. In other embodiments, the feedback circuit tunes the loads to minimize a metric indicative of jitter in the filtered differential clock signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed. |
