Abstract
A transmitter may include a pre-driver and a main driver. The pre-driver may be configured to generate a pull-up signal and a pull-down signal in response to an enabling signal and a first data. The main driver may receive an external voltage and a ground voltage. The main driver may be configured to generate a transmission data in response to the pull-up signal and the pull-down signal. The pull-up signal and the pull-down signal may be enabled to a voltage level higher than the external voltage applied to the main driver.
