Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a line driver with separate pre-driver for feed-through capacitance. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a differential pair of transistors to generate an output signal on a first output node and a second output node; a pass-through capacitance coupled with the first output node and the second output node; a first pre-driver to drive an input signal for the differential transistors; and a second pre-driver to drive the input signal for the pass-through capacitance.
