Voltage mode line driver and pre-emphasis circuit

A voltage-mode line driver circuit for transmitting a differential signal, comprising:

• a first voltage swing circuit having an input coupled to receive an input signal and an output coupled to a first transmission line;
• a second voltage swing circuit having an input coupled to receive an inversion of the input signal and an output coupled to a second transmission line;
• and
• first and second pre-emphasis circuits respectively coupled to the first and second voltage swing circuits, wherein the first and second pre-emphasis circuits are configured to supplement the slew rate of respective first and second voltage swing circuits in response to a transition of the input signal;
• wherein the first pre-emphasis circuit is driven by an inversion of a first delayed value of the input signal, and the second pre-emphasis circuit is driven by the first delayed value of the input signal.
