Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers

1. Overview

Interface drivers, receivers, and transceivers are critical IC components that enable signal transmission between devices in electronic systems. These circuits convert logic signals to appropriate voltage/current levels for reliable communication across different media. They play a vital role in modern electronics by ensuring signal integrity, protocol compatibility, and noise immunity in applications ranging from consumer devices to industrial automation systems.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification
