LOW-VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SIGNALING (LVDS) TRANSMITTER CIRCUIT
A Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) transmitter includes driver circuit with a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, a first resistor, and a second resistor. The first transistor is coupled between a first node and first output. The second transistor is coupled between the first node and a second output. The third transistor is coupled between the first output and a second node. The fourth transistor is coupled between the second output and the second node. The first resistor is coupled between the first output and a common mode node. The second resistor is coupled between the second output and the common mode node. A pre-driver circuit generates gate control signals controlling the first, second, third, and fourth transistors in response to a data signal.

BINARY INVERTER CIRCUITS WITH CONFIGURABLE THRESHOLD VOLTAGES
Reduced delay and improved threshold tracking over PVT in a comparator input circuit and comparator are provided by circuits that include an inverter stage having a first complementary pair of transistors connected in a push-pull configuration.
