Patent ID: 7822162

Claim:
A current-mode differential signal transmitting circuit, comprising: a transmitter, comprising: a first transmitting module, including a plurality of first outputting units to output first data and a clock outputting unit; and a second transmitting module, including a plurality of second outputting units for outputting second data; and a receiver, comprising: a first receiving module, including a plurality of first receiving units coupled to respective outputting units of the plurality of first outputting units, and a first clock receiving unit coupled to the clock outputting unit in the first transmitting module; and a second receiving module, including a plurality of second receiving units coupled to respective outputting units of the plurality of second outputting units, and a second clock receiving unit coupled to the same clock outputting unit, wherein the first and second transmitting modules share the clock outputting unit of the first transmitting module, and wherein the clock outputting unit outputs two clock signals, both clock signals being sent to respective inputs of each of the first and second clock receiving units.
