Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A driver circuit includes a plurality of output circuits (208) coupled in parallel between a differential input (Inn, Inp) and a differential output (Txn, Txp) and having a first common node (VrefP) and a second common node (Vrefn). Each of the plurality of output circuits includes a series combination of a pair of inverters (Mp1, MP2 and Mn1, Mn2) and a pair of resistors (Rp, Rn), coupled between the differential input and the differential output; first source terminals of the pair of inverters coupled to the first common node; and second source terminals of the pair of inverters coupled to the second common node. The driver circuit further includes a first voltage regulator (2101) having an output coupled to the first common node of the plurality of output circuits; a second voltage regulator (2102) having an output coupled to the second common node of the plurality of circuits; and a current compensation circuit (206) coupled between the outputs of the first voltage regulator and the second voltage regulator.
