Abstract
A driver circuit for an integrated circuit (IC) is configurable to operate in three different signaling modes, namely, differential signaling mode, single-ended current mode, and single-ended voltage mode. The driver circuit receives first and second input signals from a pre-driver and outputs first and second output signals that conform with the selected one of the three signaling modes.
