When the first front-end transistor M3 is turned on, the first current ibias_drv reaches the first front-end transistor M3 through the first resistor R1, the control terminal of the first front-end transistor M3 generates the voltage vbn1, and since the control terminals of the first front-end transistor M3, the first back-end transistor M5, the first back-end transistor M7, and the first back-end transistor M9 are connected together, the control terminals of the first back-end transistor M5, the first back-end transistor M7, and the first back-end transistor M9 generate the same voltage vbn1 as the control terminal of the first front-end transistor M3, and the first front-end transistor M3, the first back-end transistor M5, the first back-end transistor M7, and the first back-end transistor M9 are all turned on. If the second front-end transistor M4 is also turned on at this time, the control terminal of the second front-end transistor M4 generates a voltage vbn2, and since the control terminals of the second front-end transistor M4, the second back-end transistor M6, the second back-end transistor M8, and the second back-end transistor M10 are connected together, the control terminals of the second back-end transistor M6, the second back-end transistor M8, and the second back-end transistor M10 generate the same voltage vbn2 as the control terminal of the second front-end transistor M4, and the second back-end transistor M6, the second back-end transistor M8, and the second back-end transistor M10 are turned on.

In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the body driving circuit 1032 includes a first transistor M14, a second transistor M15, a third transistor M16, a fourth transistor M17, and a tail current source I1.
The control terminals of the first transistor M14 and the third transistor M16 are connected to the positive signal input terminal vin+, the control terminals of the second transistor M15 and the fourth transistor M17 are connected to the negative signal input terminal Vin-, and the first transistor M14, the second transistor M15, the third transistor M16 and the fourth transistor M17 are controlled to be turned on or off by the control signal input to the signal input terminal vin+, the signal input terminal Vin-.
The first transistor M14, the second transistor M15, the third transistor M16, and the fourth transistor M17 are all linear switching transistors, the first terminal of the first transistor M14 is connected to the first terminal of the third transistor M16, the first terminal of the second transistor M15 is connected to the first terminal of the fourth transistor M17, the second terminal of the first transistor M14 and the second terminal of the second transistor M15 are used as current input terminals of the body driving circuit 1032, are connected to the mirror current source 1031, input a constant second current Iload through the mirror current source 1031, and the second terminal of the third transistor M16 and the second terminal of the fourth transistor M17 are connected to the tail current source I1, and are connected to the ground terminal through the tail current source I1.
Meanwhile, the current input end of the main body driving circuit 1032, that is, the second end of the first transistor M14 and the second end of the second transistor M15 are further connected to the output end of the common mode feedback circuit 104, so as to receive the adjustment current I CM output by the common mode feedback circuit 104, and the second current Iload input by the mirror current source 1031 and the adjustment current I CM are overlapped to be used as the supply current of the main body driving circuit 1032. When the supply current changes, the common mode voltage V out,cm of the differential signal output by the main body driving circuit 1032 changes accordingly.
The connection node of the first end of the first transistor M14 and the first end of the third transistor M16 is connected to one end of the load resistor R load, the other end of the load resistor R load is connected to the connection node of the first end of the second transistor M15 and the first end of the fourth transistor M17, two ends of the load resistor R load respectively correspond to one differential output end of the main body driving circuit 1032, and the voltage at two ends of the load resistor R load is the differential signal voltage swing output by the main body driving circuit 1032. The load resistor R load is used as a matching impedance of the main body driving circuit 1032, and the load resistor R load is connected in parallel to the differential signal receiving terminal.
When the second transistor M15 and the third transistor M16 are turned on and the first transistor M14 and the fourth transistor M17 are turned off, the power supply flows through the second transistor M15 to the load resistor R load, passes through the load resistor R load and returns to the third transistor M16, and finally goes to the ground through the third transistor M16, so that the power supply generates a corresponding voltage drop across the load resistor R load. When the second transistor M15 and the third transistor M16 are turned off and the first transistor M14 and the fourth transistor M17 are turned on, the power supply flows through the first transistor M14 to the load resistor R load, passes through the load resistor R load and returns to the fourth transistor M17, and finally flows through the fourth transistor M17 to the ground, so that the power supply current also generates a corresponding voltage drop across the load resistor R load. At this time, the voltage drop generated across the load resistor R load is opposite to the direction when the second transistor M15 and the third transistor M16 are turned on and the first transistor M14 and the fourth transistor M17 are turned off. That is, if the output of the main body driving circuit 1032 is at the high level, the outputs of the second transistor M15 and the third transistor M16 are on and the outputs of the first transistor M14 and the fourth transistor M17 are off, and if the output of the main body driving circuit 1032 is at the low level, the outputs of the second transistor M15 and the third transistor M16 are on and the outputs of the main body driving circuit 1032 are at the high level, when the first transistor M14 and the fourth transistor M17 are off. The main body driving circuit 1032 utilizes voltage swing to perform high-speed differential transmission.
In one embodiment of the present application, the resistance of the load resistor R load is 100deg.C, and the voltage drop generated by the supply current on the load resistor R load is the product of the supply current and 100deg.C.
