A current-mode differential transmitter, receiving a single-end input
voltage signal and accordingly generating a differential output current
signal, is provided. The transmitter includes a first switch, a second
switch and a current mirror. The first switch is coupled in a first
current path and controlled by the single-end input voltage signal. The
second switch is coupled in a second current path and controlled by an
inverted signal of the single-end input voltage signal. The current
mirror mirrors a reference current to the first current path when the
first switch is turned on, and mirrors the reference current to the
second current path when the second switch is turned on. The differential
output current signal is derived from the currents on the first and
second current paths.
