Abstract
A line driver 202 is provided for transmitting signals across a line 201. Line driver 202 receives an input signal having a first voltage swing between a first high voltage level and a first low voltage level. Line driver 202 reduces power dissipation in line 201 by transmitting an output signal on line 201 having a second voltage swing between a second low voltage level greater than the first low voltage level and a second high voltage level less than the first high voltage level.
