Abstract
A transmitter circuit for generating a modulated signal in a transmitter of an integrated circuit is described. The transmitter circuit comprises a multiplexing stage having a multiplexing circuit configured to receive a differential input signal and to generate a differential output signal at a first output node of a first current path and at a second output node of a second current path, the multiplexing stage having a gain circuit configured to increase the swing of the differential output signal generated at the first output node and the second output node. A method of generating a modulated signal in a transmitter of an integrated circuit is also disclosed.
