Patent attributes
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a negative resistance circuit for bandwidth extension are disclosed. Within a feedback path of a differential signal path, capacitors are placed on the inputs and outputs of a fully differential amplifier connecting to the differential signal path. In one embodiment, a circuit includes a fully differential amplifier and four capacitors. A first capacitor is coupled between a first signal path and a non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier and a second capacitor is coupled between the first signal path and a non-inverting output terminal of the amplifier. A third capacitor is coupled between a second signal path and an inverting input terminal of the amplifier and a fourth capacitor is coupled between the second signal path and an inverting output terminal of the amplifier. The first and second signal paths carry a differential signal.
