A 5V 0.5μm CMOS line driver has distortion -65dB in the ADSL upstream band for a 4V peak-to-peak differential output swing on a 12.5Ω load. The quiescent current is controlled digitally with a dedicated algorithm that corrects for offsets and process variations. The driver is integrated in a complete ADSL CPE analog front-end
