Abstract
A differential driver includes a switching module and first and second voltage controlled voltage sources. The switching module has a plurality of switches each controlled by an input signal, a first voltage input and a second voltage input, and a signal output. The first voltage controlled voltage source is connected to the first voltage input. The first voltage controlled voltage source has a low impedance. The second voltage controlled voltage source is connected to the second voltage input. The second voltage controlled voltage source also has a low impedance. The switching circuit outputs an output signal having an output voltage and current controlled by the first and second voltage controlled voltage sources. The output signal is based upon the input signal.
