Abstract:
An optical driver is disclosed, including a PMOS pull-up circuit, an NMOS pull-down circuit, and an inductive circuit. The PMOS pull-up circuit may include a first terminal to receive a first input signal based on a received data signal, and a P output terminal coupled to the inductive circuit. The NMOS pull-down circuit may include a second input terminal to receive a second input signal based on the received data signal, and an N output terminal coupled to the inductive circuit. The inductive circuit may include an L output terminal to output an output signal, a P coil coupled between the P output terminal and the L output terminal, and an N coil coupled between the N output terminal and the L output terminal. The P coil may be configured to hide a parasitic capacitance associated with the PMOS pull-up circuit during a falling edge transition of the received data signal, and the N coil may be configured to hide a parasitic capacitance associated with the NMOS pull-down circuit during a rising edge transition of the received data signal.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical driver circuit, comprising:\n an input terminal to receive an input signal; an output terminal to generate a level-shifted output signal; a pull-up circuit including an input node responsive to the input signal, further including an output node inductively coupled to the output terminal, and configured to adjust rising edge transitions in the level-shifted output signal based on a first control signal; a pull-down circuit including an input node responsive to the input signal, including an output node inductively coupled to the output terminal, and configured to adjust falling edge transitions in the level-shifted signal based on a second control signal; and an inductive circuit comprising:\n a first inductor coupled between the output node of the pull-up circuit and the output terminal of the optical driver circuit; and \n a second inductor coupled between the output node of the pull-down circuit and the output terminal of the optical driver circuit.
