Abstract
A slew-limited output driver circuit facilitates finding a circuitry that allows a flexible setting of the slew-rate of an integrated circuit, with only a small footprint and latency, and which allows realizing different driver modes without additional components integrated protection against ESD. A short circuit will be solved by a slew-limited output driver circuit comprising a switchable current mirror providing an output current equal to an input current, wherein the current mirror is controlled by an additional switch, which is switched in response to control signals and/or an output current level of the output driver circuit, wherein adjustable operating modes of the slew-limited output driver circuit are realized by the control signals.
