Abstract:
The present invention relates to data communication techniques and integrated circuit devices. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an input buffer module that utilizes one or more equalization elements. The input buffer module includes an array of inverters arranged in a series. An equalization element is configured in series relative to a segment of the array of inverters. The resistance value of the equalization element is predetermined based on a delay associated with the segment of the array of inverters. There are other embodiments as well.

Claim (Index 12):
A circuit device comprising:\n a DAC device configured to convert n bits of input data, n indicating a number of bits; a first input buffer module comprising a first plurality of inverters and a first equalization element, the first input buffer module being configured to provide a first input signal to the DAC device, the first plurality of inverters includes a first a segment of m inverters, m indicating a quantity of inverters, the first segment of m inverters being associated with a first delay value, the first equalization element being characterized by a first predetermined resistance value, the first predetermined resistance value being determined based on the first delay value; and a pre-distortion array coupled to the first input buffer module.
