Abstract
A resistive divider circuit for differential signaling is disclosed. The resistive divider includes a first branch and a second branch and each branch has an input, a first resistive component comprised of a number of unit resistors, a second resistive component comprised of a number of unit resistors, and an output connected between the first resistive component and the second resistive component, the output forming a differential mode output. The first resistive component and the second resistive component are comprised of an equal number of unit resistors.
