Abstract

A data transmission circuit transmits a data signal over a transmission line. A digital to analog converter (DAC) operates to receive N-bit input digital values for conversion to corresponding ones of 2N different DC voltage levels. The DAC selects, for each N-bit input digital value, one of the 2N DC voltage levels. An analog to digital converter (ADC) operates to sense the DC voltage on the transmission line for conversion to a corresponding N-bit output digital value.
