ABSTRACT:
A method for amplifying a digital signal representative of data to be transmitted by a line driver with pre-emphasis over an output line is provided. The gain of the line driver is varied between an upper value to coincide with switching of the digital signal and a lower value in absence of the digital signal switching. In particular, the varying includes amplifying the digital signal with a first gain for generating an amplified digital signal, delaying the digital signal with a predetermined delay for generating a delayed digital signal, and amplifying the delayed digital signal with a second gain for generating a delayed and amplified digital signal. An ouput signal corresponding to a difference between the amplified digital signal and the delayed and amplified digital signal is output over the output line.
