Abstract

A transmission-end impedance matching circuit operates according to a signal of an overvoltage signal source and includes a first level shifter, a voltage generating circuit, and an impedance matching circuit. The first level shifter generates a first conversion voltage according to a source signal and operates between a first high voltage and a ground voltage. The voltage generating circuit generates a second high voltage according to the first conversion voltage, the first high voltage, and a medium voltage. The impedance matching circuit includes a second level shifter, a transistor, and two resistors. The second level shifter generates a gate voltage according to the second high voltage, a low voltage, and an input signal. The transistor is turned on/off according to the gate voltage and has a withstand voltage lower than the first high voltage. Each of the two resistors is coupled between the transistor and a differential signal transmission end.
