LINE DRIVER CIRCUIT AND METHOD

A driver circuit for driving a transmission line includes a voltage driver and a current driver. The voltage driver is for driving the transmission line with a first voltage gain in a first operation mode. The current driver is activatable in a second operation mode for driving, together with the vo...

Zusammenfassung:A driver circuit for driving a transmission line includes a voltage driver and a current driver. The voltage driver is for driving the transmission line with a first voltage gain in a first operation mode. The current driver is activatable in a second operation mode for driving, together with the voltage driver, the transmission line with a second voltage gain. The transmission line may be an Ethernet-over-copper transmission line with electrical data signals from a data generator.
