Abstract

A current-mode logic circuit is provided. The current-mode logic circuit includes a transmitter module. The transmitter module includes an output impedance circuit, a switch circuit, and a current source. The output impedance circuit provides an adjustable output resistor. The adjustable output resistor includes floating resistors and/or pull-up resistors. The switch circuit is coupled to the output impedance circuit. The switch circuit receives differential input signals, outputs differential output signals, and controls high-low level switching of the differential input signals and the differential output signals according to the adjustable output resistor. The current source is coupled to the output impedance circuit and the switch circuit. The current source provides currents to the output impedance circuit and the switch circuit. The floating resistors are resistors coupled between the differential output signals, and the pull-up resistors are resistors coupled between the differential output signals and a power source.
