A low voltage differential signal (LVDS) driver circuit with reduced power consumption. A pre-driver stage, implemented as a differential current mode amplifier, is driven by the differential input signal and provides a corresponding differential drive signal, which drives the output stage, implemented as a differential voltage mode amplifier, which, in turn, provides the differential output signal for the load. Total current consumption equals the load current, which is provided by the output stage, plus a much smaller current used by the pre-driver stage.
