Abstract:
An electronic system for generating and transmitting a digital signal, comprising:(1) an output driver circuit, comprising: (a) a driver circuit having an output; (b) a passive network coupled to the output of the driver circuit, comprising: (i) a series resistor including a first end coupled to the output of the driver circuit and a second end; (ii) a parallel resistor including a first end coupled to the second end of the series resistor and a second end; (iii) a capacitor coupled between the second end of the parallel resistor and a first voltage supply; and (iv) an output coupled to the second end of the series resistor and to the first end of the parallel resistor for coupling to the conductor; and (c) an output coupled to the output of the passive network, the output having an output impedance; and (2) a signal line, comprising: (a) a conductor including a first end coupled to the output of the output driver circuit and a second end; (b) a resistor including a first end coupled to the second end of the conductor and a second end; and (c) a capacitor coupled between the second end of the resistor and a second voltage supply.
