Abstract
A transmitter circuit including an impedance setting circuit having first and second legs, wherein each leg includes an adjustable pull-up resistance and an adjustable pull-down resistance connected in series between a supply terminal and a reference terminal. A first-leg-node, between the adjustable resistances of the first leg, is connected to a first bus terminal. A second-leg-node, between the adjustable resistances of the second leg, is connected to a second bus terminal. The controller detects a transition in a transmission data signal, and in response to a dominant to recessive transition the controller controls a voltage setting circuit to set the differential driver voltage on the bus to a recessive value; adjusts each of the adjustable pull-up resistances and the adjustable pull-down resistances with the same target impedance profile such that the transmitter circuit drives the bus with a target driver impedance for an active recessive period of a bit time.
