A line driver for coupling a data transceiver to a line having a load impedance, having a transformer with a primary coil and a secondary coil with a turns ratio of N:1 therebetween. The line driver includes a shunt impedance set to a value equal to a predetermined function of N and of the load impedance, coupled between one end of the primary coil and ground. The line driver also includes a differential amplifier, having a first input coupled to be driven by a transmit circuit of the transceiver, and having an output coupled to drive the line through the secondary of the transformer, and having a second input shunted to ground through the shunt impedance and coupled to receive feedback from the output through the primary coil of the transformer.
