发明名称 DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR SIGNAL TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL METHOD OF DRIVER CIRCUIT
摘要 A driver circuit for receiving a data input and generating an output signal to a termination element according to at least the first data input is provided. The driver circuit includes a first output terminal, a current mode drive unit and a voltage mode drive unit. The current mode drive unit is arranged for selectively outputting a first reference current from the first output terminal to the termination element according to the first data input, and selectively receiving the first reference current through the first output terminal according to the first data input. The voltage mode drive unit is arranged for coupling one of a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage different from the second reference voltage to the first output terminal according to the first data input.

主权项 1. A driver circuit for receiving a first data input and generating an output signal to a termination element according to at least the first data input, the driver circuit comprising: a first output terminal, arranged for outputting the output signal; a first current mode drive unit, coupled to the first output terminal, the first current mode drive unit arranged for generating a first reference current, selectively outputting the first reference current from the first output terminal to the termination element according to the first data input, and selectively receiving the first reference current through the first output terminal according to the first data input, wherein when the first current mode drive unit outputs the first reference current, the first current mode drive unit steers the first reference current to flow into the termination element such that the first reference current outputted from the first current mode drive unit flows through the termination element and is used as at least a portion of a current flowing through the termination element; and a first voltage mode drive unit, coupled to the first output terminal, the first voltage mode drive unit arranged for coupling one of a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage to the first output terminal according to the first data input, wherein the first reference voltage is different from the second reference voltage.
