Abstract

An output driver is disclosed. An output driver may include a pre-driver and a main driver coupled to the pre-driver. The main driver may include at least one switch, and a first transistor coupled between a first supply voltage and the at least one switch. The main driver may also include a second transistor coupled between a second, different supply voltage and the at least one switch. The at least one switch is configured to couple an output node of the output driver to one of the first transistor and the second transistor in response to receipt of a control signal. The main driver may also include a third transistor coupled between a reference voltage and the output node. An electronic system including at least one output driver, and methods of operating an output driver are also described.
