Abstract

In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus having an averager to receive differential output voltages of a transmitter and generate an average transmitter output voltage. A comparator is to compare the average transmitter output voltage to a reference voltage and generate a difference therebetween. An integrator is to integrate the difference between the average transmitter output voltage and the reference voltage over time. The integrated difference is fed back to the transmitter to bias the transmitter.
