[0017] It is known that a frequency response exhibited by a line driver for driving a transmission line will roll-off at a certain frequency, thereby causing distortion (eg, intersymbol interference). Signal transitions that are not steep enough to support high data rates will cause this roll-off. This non-steep transition can be caused by several factors. For example, the capacitance value of the line driver may limit the speed of operation. Additionally or alternatively, the capacitance value of the transmission line may also be a limiting factor.
[0018] Distortion of the drive signal transmitted through the transmission line can be reduced by using parallel paths with different frequency responses to drive the transmission line, such as metal traces or cables on a printed circuit board. The slow-path can include drivers that drive transmission lines with DC and other low-frequency signals. The fast-path may include another driver driving the transmission line with a hi...
