Abstract
A driver circuit and corresponding methods and systems are disclosed, the driver circuit comprises a signal generation circuit to generate a linearly varying signal at a first node based on a clock signal and an output transistor to receive the linearly varying signal and output a drive signal to a bus. A buffer amplifier is coupled between the first node and a gate of the output transistor to disable the gate capacitance of the output transistor. The driver circuit further comprises a capacitor coupled between the first node and a feedback node of the driver circuit such that the Miller effect occurs at the capacitor and a slew rate for the drive signal is generated at the feedback node.
