Abstract

In a test system that provides a high fidelity output signal, a transition driving circuit can selectively enable multiple, parallel current paths based on a desired voltage transition. The transition driving circuit can include a first switch configured to switch a first current path between an output node and a first current source/sink, and a second switch configured to switch a second current path between the output node and the first current source/sink. The transition driving circuit can include a control circuit that is configured to receive information about a desired voltage transition and, depending on a magnitude of the desired voltage transition, to selectively turn on one or both of the first and second switches to enable one or both of the first and second current paths to provide respective portions of the output signal from the first current source/sink to the output node of the test system.
