Abstract
A driving circuit includes at least a driving unit, a first processing unit and a second processing unit. The driving circuit includes a first bias component, a second bias component, a first pre-emphasis unit, a second pre-emphasis unit, and a transmitter unit. The first bias component has a first node coupled to a first reference voltage and a second node for outputting a first bias current. The second bias component has a first node for draining a second bias current and a second node coupled to a second reference voltage different from the first reference voltage.
