DIFFERENTIAL SIGNAL GENERATION CIRCUIT
A differential signal generation circuit is provided. A PMOS transistor pair provides a first current to a current modulator circuit. A first current control circuit is coupled to the PMOS transistor pair in parallel. When the PMOS transistor pair is turned off, the first current control circuit provides the first current to the current adjustment circuit. An NMOS transistor pair provides a second current to the current modulator circuit. A second current control circuit is coupled to the NMOS transistor pair in parallel. When the NMOS transistor pair is turned off, the second current control circuit provides the second current to the current modulator circuit. The current modulator circuit sets the static current of a first output terminal to be equal to the static current of a second output terminal.
