摘要

A single-ended differential AUI line driver, and complementary single-ended differential AUI line receiver, implement a pseudo AUI that exhibits most of the characteristics of an IEEE 802.3 standard compatible AUI line driver. The pseudo AUI line driver permits multi-point to single point connection (wire-ORing) of multiple line drivers and receivers to support port mobility on a per-port basis.
