  • Patent number: 7378905
    Abstract: A current-saving differential wideband driver circuit comprises a differential input amplifier for amplifying a differential input signal to produce a differential intermediate signal being comprised of a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal, a first transimpedance amplifier comprising a first inverting input, a first non-inverting input, and a first output, and a second transimpedance amplifier comprising a second inverting input, a second non-inverting input, and a second output. The first intermediate signal is applied to the first non-inverting input, the first output is connected to the first inverting input of the first transimpedance amplifier via a first feedback resistor for negative current feedback, the second intermediate signal is applied to the second non-inverting input, and the second output is connected to the second inverting input of the second transimpedance amplifier via a second feedback resistor for negative current feedback.

  • Patent number: 7084677
    Abstract: The invention relates to a line driver arrangement for driving signals via at least one subscriber line, provided with: an input for injecting an input signal and having an output at which a signal which is to be driven via the subscriber line can be tapped off, a digital amplifier which produces a pulse-width-modulated signal on the output side from the input signal or from a signal derived from it, an analog amplifier, which produces an analog signal on the output side from the input signal or from a signal derived from it, with the outputs of the amplifiers being coupled such that the signal to be driven results from superimposition of the analog signal and the digital signal, with the gain of the analog amplifier being matched to the gain of the digital amplifier such that scatter and/or overshoot on the digital signal are at least reduced after the superimposition.
