Abstract
A signal transmission system (10) is provided that comprises a transmitter circuit (12) which transmits a signal through a transmission line (16) to a receiver circuit (14) using the current mode of signal transmission. A steady state current is supplied by a steady state current source (22). An active state current is provided by an active current source (20). A boost circuit (18) is provided to reduce delay associated with the transmission line (16) by increasing charge to the transmission line and providing additional discharge path from the transmission line during transitions of the signal propagating along transmission line (16).
