Abstract
A transmit circuit for sending and/or receiving at least one single-ended signal and for sending a differential signal on two transmission lines, including: a differential amplifier for sending signal parts of a differential signal via the two transmission lines, two impedance matching resistances that are situated between the transmission lines, connected in series, for the impedance matching of the differential amplifier; a switch that is connected in series between the impedance matching resistances; at least one single-ended transmit amplifier for sending or receiving a single-ended signal via an associated one of the transmission lines, each of the at least one single-ended transmit amplifiers being connected to a terminal of the switch that is connected, via the corresponding impedance matching resistance to the associated transmission line.
