Design of a Line Driver for High-Speed Power Line Communication Applications
In this design, a differential 12-V line driver suitable for HPLC applications is proposed using TSMC 0.18um BCD process. It drives a 50 Ω load with a -40-dBc distortion with an output swing of 75% of the power supply voltage. The performance and power dissipation are comparable to the best product on the market, while consuming an active area of 1.08*1.06 mm<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup>.
