Abstract:
A transmitter circuit is provided in the present disclosure. The transmitter circuit includes a first capacitance, a first current pump circuit for charging or discharging the first capacitance to output a first voltage, a second capacitance, and a second current pump circuit for charging or discharging the second capacitance to output a second voltage. A charging rate at which the first current pump circuit charges the first capacitance or a discharging rate at which the first current pump circuit discharges the first capacitance determines a rising slew rate or a falling slew rate of the first voltage. A charging rate at which the second current pump circuit charges the second capacitance or a discharging rate at which the second current pump circuit discharges the second capacitance determines a rising slew rate or a falling slew rate of the second voltage.

Claim (Index 1):
A transmitter circuit, comprising:\n a first capacitance having a first terminal and a second terminal, the second terminal of the first capacitance being electrically connected to a ground voltage; a first current pump circuit electrically connected to the first terminal of the first capacitance and configured to charge or discharge the first capacitance in accordance with a first input signal to allow the first terminal of the first capacitance to output a first voltage; a second capacitance having a first terminal and a second terminal, the second terminal of the second capacitance being electrically connected to the ground voltage; a second current pump circuit electrically connected to the first terminal of the second capacitance and configured to charge or discharge the first capacitance in accordance with a second input signal to allow the first terminal of the second capacitance to output a second voltage; a first voltage clamping circuit electrically connected to the first terminal of the first capacitance; a second voltage clamping circuit electrically connected to the first terminal of the first capacitance; a third voltage clamping circuit electrically connected to the first terminal of the second capacitance; and a fourth voltage clamping circuit electrically connected to the first terminal of the second capacitance; wherein a charging rate and a discharging rate at which the first current pump circuit charges and discharges the first capacitance determines a voltage slew rate of the first voltage, and a charging rate and a discharging rate at which the second current pump circuit charges and discharges the second capacitance determines a voltage slew rate of the second voltage; wherein the first voltage and the second voltage are between a low reference voltage of the first voltage clamping circuit and the third voltage clamping circuit and a high reference voltage of the second voltage clamping circuit and the fourth voltage clamping circuit; and wherein when the first voltage or the second voltage reaches the low reference voltage or the high reference voltage, the first current pump circuit stops charging or discharging the first capacitance in accordance with voltage clamping of the first voltage clamping circuit or the second voltage clamping circuit, and when the second voltage reaches the low reference voltage or the high reference voltage, the second current pump circuit stops charging or discharging the second capacitance in accordance with voltage clamping of the third voltage clamping circuit or the fourth voltage clamping circuit.
