Abstract
A bi-directional differential bus interface that includes a differential transmitter having a non-inverting terminal and an inverting terminal, a differential receiver having a non-inverting terminal and an inverting terminal, and a biasing circuit that is electrically coupled to the non-inverting terminal of the differential transmitter and the inverting terminal of the differential transmitter. The biasing circuit is configured to generate a voltage between the non-inverting terminal of the differential transmitter and the inverting terminal of the differential transmitter that is approximately 200 mV or more in response to assertion of a control signal received on a control input of the biasing circuit.
