Abstract
A high-swing voltage mode driver is provided that is operably coupled to a Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) chip. The high-swing voltage mode driver can operate at a speed of 16 gigabits per second. The high-swing voltage mode driver comprises a thirteenth transistor that is configured to stabilize a voltage at a fifth node, where an output signal that is a negative differential signal exists. The high-swing voltage mode driver comprises a sixteenth transistor that is configured to stabilize a voltage at a sixth node, where an output signal that is a positive differential signal exists.
