Abstract
A current mode transmitter (21) receives an input signal and converts the input signal to a current having at least two values. The current is transmitted across a transmission line (27) to a current mode receiver (30). The current mode receiver (30) has a low impedance input node (102) coupled to the transmission line (27) for receiving the current. Complementary voltage-follower transistors (35, 36) in the receiver (30) are connected to the transmission line (27). A current mirror (31, 42) is coupled to each of the voltage-follower transistors (35, 36) to convert the current to a CMOS signal. The reduced signal swing of the transmitted signal reduces RFI emissions as compared to a signal having a larger signal swing.
