Summary: | A hybrid circuit is used to transmit and receive signals simultaneously along the same medium. For example, twisted-pair cable is used in the public telephone network to carry signals in both directions between two people talking. A single pair of wires carries both signals. Similarly, in Ethernet transmission over copper wires, each of four pairs of wire in a Category 5 cable is used to carry signals in both directions simultaneously.
In at least one embodiment, a current mode differential active hybrid circuit having an H-bridge output driver with a first output resistor coupled across a transmission medium output. Drive circuitry is coupled to the output H-bridge and constructed to supply data modulated signals to the output H-bridge. A second H-bridge is coupled to the drive circuitry in parallel with the output H-bridge to allow a second output across a second output resistor. |
