Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9505033A1] An apparatus for reducing transmisson delay times when transmitting differential signals in an integrated circuit along long interconnect lines (10, 11) includes a current mode line driver which converts the differential signal to be transmitted into a signal that has a relatively low peak-to-peak voltage and large differential current changes. A receiver responsive to differential current changes converts the signal back into an output differential signal having peak-to-peak voltages adaptable to subsequent logic stages. A feedback circuit (Q5, Q6) coupled to the interconnect lines (10, 11) and the receiver functions to clamp the interconnect lines (10, 11) to a predetermined voltage while allowing the output differential signal to have peak-to-peak voltages greater than the predetermined voltage.
