Abstract
A line driver which is especially suitable for wirebound data transmission at high bit rates, comprising several parallel-connected driver stages () respectively comprising a first pair of transistors consisting of two transistors () which are controlled in a differential manner according to digital data to be transmitted, and a second pair of transistors (). The transistors belonging to the second pair of transistors () are series-connected to a corresponding transistor () of the first pair of transistors. The individual driver stages () are connected by the transistors () of the second pair of transistors in a parallel manner to both the terminals of the line driver. Each driver stage () is associated with a control circuit () with transfer gates (), producing the differential control signals (VG, VG) for the two transistors () of the corresponding first pair of transistors.
