Abstract
Disclosed herein is circuitry that extends the charge-steering (CS) logic library with a 2:1 CS-multiplexor (MUX) cell that can be used in a tree fashion to compose a 2:1 CS-MUX. Also presented is the integration of 2:1 CS-MUX with conventional CMOS signals at a parallel input, and a current-mode driver at the serialized output. Also presented are a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to RZ serializing transmitter, a charge-steering multiplexor (CSM) pre-driver, and a CSM transmitter.
