Abstract
Embodiments of present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a method for current recycling. The electronic device comprises a transmission line, a bias resistor and a DC bias electrical connection. The transmission line is configured to transmit data. The bias resistor is coupled to the transmission line. The DC bias electrical connection is coupled between the bias resistor and a load at a terminal bias voltage. The DC bias electrical connection is configured to provide the bias resistor with the terminal bias voltage in case that DC bias current flows through the transmission line. By utilizing embodiments herein, the electronic device recycles current during data transmission to save power.
