Continuous time linear equalization system and method

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for continuous time linear equalization. Embodiments include determining, using a decision feedback equalization ("DFE") training block, a voltage value for one or more resistor values. Embodiments may further include determining, using the DFE training block, a voltage value for one or more capacitor values and identifying a voltage difference between the voltage value for one or more resistor values and the voltage value for one or more capacitor values. Embodiments may further include iteratively performing the determining of the voltage value and identifying of the voltage difference for each of the plurality of capacitor values until the voltage difference is at one or more minimum values to generate one or more optimal resistor and capacitor coefficients for a continuous time linear equalization filter.
