TRANSCONDUCTOR CIRCUITRY WITH ADAPTIVE BIASING
A transconductor circuitry (10) with adaptive biasing comprises a first input terminal (ElOa) to apply a first input signal (inp), and a second input terminal (ElOb) to apply a second input signal (inn). A control circuit (200) is configured to control a first controllable current source (110) in a first current path (101) and a second controllable current source (120) in a second current path (102) in response to at least one of a first potential of a first node (N1) of the first current path (101) and a second potential of a second node (N2) of the second current path (102). The first node (N1) is located between a first transistor (150) and the first controllable current source (110), and the second node (N2) is located between a second transistor (160) and the second controllable current source (120).
Converting a mode controlling differential signal in a drive circuit and a driving method
A drive circuit for a serial communications system is provided. The drive circuit may include a mode controller, a pre-drive circuit, and a main drive circuit. The main drive circuit includes multiple mode control switches and at least one pair of differential switches. The mode controller is configured to: generate a mode control signal, and transmit the mode control signal to the main drive circuit. The pre-drive circuit is configured to: convert a differential digital signal into a differential control signal, and transmit the differential control signal to the main drive circuit. The main drive circuit controls on/off states of the multiple mode control switches according to the mode control signal, and works in corresponding working modes. The drive circuit controls the states of the mode control switches in the main drive circuit, so that the main drive circuit works in different working modes.
