Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for equalizing a communications signal transmitted through a transmission medium includes an integrated continuous-time filter and circuitry for developing a feedback signal to compensate for distortion in the signal caused by the transmission medium. The control signal adjusts the transfer characteristics of the integrated continuous-time filter thereby compensating for loss and distortion of the signal caused by the transmission medium and further tunes the integrated continuous-time filter thereby compensating for semiconductor process variations in the integrated continuous-time filter.
