Abstract
A chip-to-chip digital transmission circuit includes a differential driver portion, a pair of differential signal transmission lines connected to the driver portion, and a receiver portion connected to the transmission lines, an output node of which reproduces a digital bit stream originally presented to a driver side input node, wherein the transmission lines carry both transmitted signal information and DC power for the receiver portion. The driver portion is configured to adjust both the transmitted signal magnitude and the DC power delivered to the receiver portion.
