Abstract
A system and a method for communicating data at a rate exceeding about a gigabit per second is described. The system may include circuitry and a current-sourcing module. The circuitry may include an output couplable to a load. The circuitry may output from the output a low voltage differential signal having a first current that drives the load from a first voltage at a first time to a second voltage at a second time. The current-sourcing module may apply a second current to the output at a third time, which occurs at about the first time.
