Abstract

A termination circuit for use on a conductor of a transmission line. The termination circuit generally comprises a first, second, third and fourth transistor. The first transistor may have (i) a first drain node couplable to the conductor, (ii) a first source node couplable to a first power source presenting a first reference voltage, and (iii) a first gate node. The second transistor may have (i) a second drain node couplable to the conductor, (ii) a second source node couplable to a second power source presenting a second reference voltage, and (iii) a second gate node. The third transistor (i) may have a third source node coupled to the first gate node and (ii) may be configured to bias the first gate node to a first voltage below the first reference voltage. The fourth transistor (i) may have a fourth source node coupled to the second gate node and (ii) may be configured to bias the second gate node to a second voltage above the second reference voltage.
