Patent ID: 8717065

Claim:
A driver for differentially transmitting data over first and second data lines, the driver comprising: driver cells for receiving a first signal comprising a digital voltage, a first input signal, and a second input signal, the first input signal and the second input signal comprising data, the driver cells comprising: a first driver cell for receiving over a first input of the first driver cell the first signal and for receiving over a second input of the first driver cell the first input signal, and for generating over an output of the first driver cell a first 3-level transmission signal from a difference between the first signal and the first input signal; and, a second driver cell coupled to the first driver cell for receiving over a first input of the second driver cell the first input signal and for receiving over a second input of the second driver cell the second input signal, and for generating over an output of the second driver cell a second 3-level transmission signal from a difference between the first input signal and the second input signal.
