A multi-mode driver with multiple transmitter types including a first transmitter coupled to a transmission channel and operative to output a signal for transmission on the channel and a second transmitter coupled to the channel and operative to output the signal for transmission on the channel, the second transmitter having at least one different output characteristic than the first transmitter. During the output of the signal from one of the transmitters, the other of the transmitters is biased with a bias supply voltage that prevents voltage breakdown of one or more transistors of the other transmitter.
