Abstract
An output driver according to the disclosure includes a differential signaling circuit that includes a first transistor that generates a bias current, first and second nodes, and a resistor circuit connected between the first and second nodes, and outputs voltages respectively at the first and second nodes as a pair of differential signals by supplying the bias current to one of the first and second nodes based on a level of the input signals, a differential voltage circuit that supplies a differential voltage representing a difference between a center voltage of voltages between the first node and the second node and a predetermined reference voltage to a gate of the first transistor; and a pre-emphasis circuit that executes a pre-emphasis processing in response to changes in the level of the input signal, generating a current based on the differential voltage and adding it to the bias current.
