Abstract. A boost biquad transfer function with two symmetrical zeros on the real axis is derived; it provides a technique for amplitude equalization with a second-order continuous-time gm-C section using current injection. The synthesis procedure yields a differential boost biquad consisting of three double-input OTAs and a single-input high-gm boost OTA. SPICE simulations show that for boost gain up to 20 dB the phase of the biquad is essentially unaffected. The presented technique is found suitable for amplitude equalization of disk-drive read channels operating in the range of 100 MHz.
