Abstract

A serial bus re-driver circuit includes an edge detector circuit and a booster circuit. The edge detector circuit is configured to detect a transition of serial bus signal. The booster circuit is coupled to the edge detector circuit, and is configured to switch current to the serial bus signal. The booster circuit includes a leading edge boost pulse generation circuit and a trailing edge boost pulse generation circuit. The leading edge boost pulse generation circuit is configured to switch a first current pulse to the serial bus signal at the transition of the serial bus signal. The trailing edge boost pulse generation circuit is configured to switch a second current pulse to the serial bus signal. The second current pulse is shorter than the first current pulse.
