Abstract: There is disclosed an improved output circuit for use with a differential line driver which drives a parallel inductance and resistance load coupled across the line driver output. The output circuit substantially reduces the kickback voltage produced across the load which results from a residual magnetizing current being stored in the load inductance. The output circuit includes an impedance means which is coupled across the output terminals and a common mode current source coupled between the impedance means and a common potential for sinking a portion of the residual magnetizing current to reduce the amount of residual magnetizing current flowing through the load resistance.
