<p>Output driver for high speed Ethernet transceiver. A transmission line driver is disclosed for driving a transmission line in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode. The first and second operating modes operate substantially exclusive of each other. A current driver (304) is provided for driving the transmission line in the first operating mode from a first data generator and at a first output voltage (TXIP, TXIN). A voltage driver (302) is provided for driving the transmission line in the second operating mode from a second data generator at a second output voltage (TXVP, TXVN) through a load, such that the current driver and the voltage driver operate independent of each other.</p> |
