Abstract
A circuit that provides a stable predrive to a BiCMOS LVDS output which compensates for supply voltage variations while maintaining a suitably fast signal path. The supply voltage compensation circuit provides an offset to the predrive level shift such that when the supply voltage V rises, the predrive output voltage is lowered in response.
