A gigabit ethernet line driver includes a transmitter having both transmitter and active hybrid outputs. The transmitter consists of a plurality of transmitter clusters each connected to both the transmitter and active hybrid outputs. Each transmitter cluster includes a plurality of transmitter cells consisting of a driver cell and digital to analog converter connected to driver cell. A hybrid circuit connects between the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs for separating a receiver signal from the transmitter signal responsive to a tuning signal. The hybrid circuit includes first and second resistor strings connected between the receiver inputs and the transmitter outputs, the first and second resistor strings each having many resistors with taps on each of the resistors; corresponding transistor switches connecting the taps of each of the first and second resistor strings to the hybrid inputs; and a circuit that selects a pair of the plurality of transistor switches connecting to a particular tap in response to the tuning signal such that a current to compensate for a transmitted signal is provided at the receiver inputs.
