Abstract
NMOS transistor buffers are used to buffer the output of a system. The system can include a network interface card. The NMOS transistor buffers receive the output of the shaped Ethernet data signals and drive a transformer. The NMOS transistor buffers allow for low power consumption while a feedback monitoring system provides stability by controlling the inputs to the NMOS transistors.
