Abstract:
A circuit for generating a modulated signal in a transmitter of an integrated circuit is disclosed. The circuit comprises a transmitter driver circuit having a first current path for receiving a first input signal of a pair of differential input signals and a second current path for receiving a second input signal of the pair of differential input signals, the transmitter driver circuit comprising a tail current path coupled to each of the first current path and the second current path; a first current source coupled between a first reference voltage and ground, wherein a first current of the first current source is proportional to the tail current of the tail current path; a first pull-up current source coupled between the first reference voltage and a first output node of the transmitter driver circuit; and a second pull-up current source coupled between the first reference voltage and a second output node of the transmitter driver circuit. A method of generating a modulated signal in a transmitter of an integrated circuit is also disclosed.
