Abstract
A low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transmitter receives a data signal, a data invert signal and a plurality of logic signals. The LVDS transmitter includes a first-stage differential signaling transmitting circuit and a second-stage differential signaling transmitting circuit. The first-stage differential signaling transmitting circuit receives the data signal and the data invert signal and has a first output terminal and a second output terminal. The second-stage differential signaling transmitting circuit is controlled by the logic signals, and has a third output terminal and a fourth output terminal respectively connected to the first output terminal and the second output terminal, so as to generate a needed pre-emphasis signal. When no pre-emphasis signal needs to be generated, the second-stage differential signaling transmitting circuit is controlled to be in disabled state.
