Abstract: A transmitter includes a multiplexer configured to receive and process an N-bit data stream, where N is an even number. The multiplexer includes N pulse generator circuits that generate N pulse signals in N different phases of a duty cycle. The transmitter further includes a driver and an output pad connected to an output of the driver, serving as an interface between the transmitter and a transmission medium. The driver includes a first set of N transistors and a second set of N/2 transistors, configured to receive the N pulse signals as inputs to output a single bit data stream. An output of the driver is electrically coupled with the output pad.
