Abstract:
A transmitter includes: a pulse amplitude modulation encoder that encodes serial data to multi-bit transmission data of a first data group and a second data group; a first driver that converts first multi-bit transmission data of the first data group to a first differential signal having a first voltage swing width; a second driver that converts second multi-bit transmission data of the second data group to a second differential signal having a second voltage swing width narrower than the first voltage swing width; a first voltage regulator that provides to the second driver a first low swing voltage for generating the second differential signal; a second voltage regulator that provides to the second driver a second low swing voltage less than the first low swing voltage; and a constant current load switch that provides a current path between the first and second voltage regulators depending on deactivation of the second driver.

Claim (Index 18):
A device, comprising:\n an input configured to receive serial data comprising a series of bit pairs; an encoder configured to encode each bit pair of the serial data into four driving signals, each of the four driving signals corresponding to one of four possible combinations of values of the bit pair, wherein when the bit pair has a combination of bit values corresponding to one of the four driving signals, then the corresponding one of the four driving signals has a value of a logic \u201c1\u201d and a remaining three of the four driving signals all have a value of a logic \u201c0\u201d; a pair of differential output terminals; a first driver configured to receive a first group of two of the driving signals from the encoder, wherein when the first group of two of the driving signals includes the one of the four driving signals which has a value of a logic \u201c1\u201d then the first driver is enabled to provide to the pair of differential output terminals a first differential signal having a first voltage swing width, and wherein otherwise the first driver is disabled; and a second driver configured to receive a second group of two of the driving signals of the encoder, wherein when the second group of two of the driving signals includes the one of the four driving signals which has a value of a logic \u201c1\u201d then the second driver is enabled to provide to the pair of differential output terminals a second differential signal having a second voltage swing width, and wherein otherwise the second driver is disabled, wherein the second voltage swing width is less than the first voltage swing width.
