Novel Switching-Mode Output Driver with Off-Chip Transmission Speed up to 640Mb/s

This paper proposed the design and implementation of novel switching-mode output driver according to off-chip transmission speed. The proposed novel output driver posses the advantages of less power consumption under lower transmission rate and better signal integrity when transmission rate up to 640 Mb/s. The circuits were implemented in a 3.3 v 0.35 um CMOS process. Simulation results demonstrate the novel output driver is suitable for off chip data transmission and has wide application on interface circuitry.
