<p>A driver for transmitting digital differential signal along a transmission line at alternative periods of idle time and packet time. The driving circuit (Q5, Q6) and its drive controller are respectively composed of paired matched transistors which function as an on-off switching circuit having constant current source (09, R6) as common emitter load. A collector of a first transistor (Q7) in the drive controller is connected to a common emitter of the driving circuit (Q5, 06) and a collector of a second transistor (Q8) in the drive controller is connected to the collectors of the driving circuit (Q5, 06) through respective matched diodes (D2, D3). In idle time, the driving circuit is cut off by the first transistor (Q7) being cut off, and the second transistor (A8) flows its collector current, being separated into halves, through the respective matched collector resistors (R4, R5) in the driving circuit and the matched diodes (D2, D3), so that the mean voltage on each collector in the driving circuit is the mean value of the high and low voltage levels during the packet time. A constant common voltage can thus be obtained between the transmission line X-X̅ and ground at the output of emitter followers (Q10, Q11). Matched transistors can be used instead of the matched diodes.</p> |
