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

Type	Functional Characteristics	Application Examples
