Abstract

A driving module including a voltage mode driver and a current mode driver is provided. The voltage mode driver converts a positive input signal to a positive output signal at a positive output terminal, and converts a negative input signal to a negative output signal at a negative output terminal. The current mode driver includes a first current source, a second current source, and a third current source. The first current source provides a first current to one of the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal. The second current source provides a second current to one of the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal. The third current source provides a third current to one of the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal.

Dependent claims

A driving module comprising:

a voltage mode driver, electrically connected to a positive output terminal and a negative output terminal, configured to convert a positive input signal to a positive output signal at the positive output terminal, and convert a negative input signal to a negative output signal at the negative output terminal, wherein the positive input signal and the negative input signal are differential signals;
and a current mode driver, electrically connected to the voltage mode driver, comprising:
a first current source, configured to provide a first current to one of the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal;
a second current source, configured to provide a second current to one of the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal;
and
a third current source, configured to provide a third current to one of the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal.
