Abstract :
A low power Fast Ethernet line driver has been designed in a 180 nm CMOS technology from XFAB. A very low power consumption is achieved with class-B operation. Due to incorporating digital-to-analog conversion to the line driver itself, the power consumption could be further reduced. The power consumption in transmit mode is minimized to 38 mW, which is the lowest one of previous reported line drivers fabricated in a comparable technology.
