Abstract
A line driver circuit is formed of a driver circuit section and a receiver circuit section. The driver circuit section provide a low impedance drive for charging and discharging quickly a capacitive load. A receiver circuit section includes an output level-shifting transistor which is adapted for translating a voltage at an output node of the driver circuit section to a compatible higher level.
